Yeah. Well, yes - you got me beat. So I guess you can disparage folks with the ol' "video game weened new-age D&D players" schtick, and do so with some sort of (misplaced - I'd argue) confidence. Doesn't make such accusations any more correct, unfortunately. To say nothing of courtesy. Love...

I think I agree. Not sure. Walmart nonsense surely strikes a chord. Right. I agree. Eh? What were we arguing? Do you assume I, or others, don't do that? WP

No, I wasn't. Already saw it. Another legacy absurdity. In my opinion, my good man, in my opinion. Dammit. Every time that gets rolled out I feel more and more isolated. Not to get into a "mine is longer than yours" bit of childish debate, but I'd bet dollars to donuts I've been playing D&D...

Let's add: Game D: You can purchase whatever item you wish at the local store. In the unlikely event it's out of stock, you can expend memories of past exploits (i.e., experience points) to fashion said item.

Ghostbusters? I think you mean p. 154. It states that PCs can't (usually) sell magical items in villages, but that a traveling merchant could be in town (or soon would be) to take higher end pieces of gear. This is a nod, my little friends, to 4e's implied PoL setting. Let me see if I...

Um, no.

Asmor's site probably does what you need. It's full of awesome. Asmor.com - 4e Monsters

Great answer, Thas, and supporting logic. I, for one, like the absence of the Magical War Marts seen in the past. But I'm not sure the 20/50 component cost rule you use works when applied to mundane gear. For magic items -yes. For mundane gear - not so much. Perhaps these are two separate...

Our group's warlord yearns for that ability. Since we're 4th level, he has quite a few fights he must survive before getting there. WP

I was about to say you win the award for best suggestion, until I saw you were simply throwing my words back at me. Touche, Sunglare. Touche. At any rate - great ideas on this thread, and thanks for them. In the end we decided the suggestions to not house rule the game in the temporary absence...

Wow. Nostalgic bomb. What year was that card first sent out, any idea?

That's my "other" Sam - especially the Oatmeal Stout. When it comes to beer, the darker the better (for me). I like beer like my coffee. Never had Rogue's, but I will look. There was a great beer out of midwestern USA of all places - Goose Island Honker's Ale. Not normally as dark as I like...

Well, clearly 2E is not D&D. As soon as they changed Cleric to Priest I said the hell with it. WP

I drink Sammy Adams when I want a good beer. I drink Guinness when I want a great beer. I've always wondered if the saying about Guinness being better/tasting different in Ireland is true. Is it, brunswick - have you had G over there and over in the States? WP Edit: That history on...

No, but I attribute that to my inherent laziness and lack of desire to hunt for one, as opposed to the fact that it doesn't exist. Heck, I recall rumblings and grumblings about a GSL being out in time for GenCon... And, with that, I'll stop cluttering the thread. The trials and tribulations of...

I have, and I do. And you're absolutely right. I didn't intend to pick on Scott (though I know I use 'he' as a pronoun instead of 'they'), but rather the Corporation. The problem, IMO, is not that the GSL is not out; the problem is that the GSL is not out, in a format as advertised, in a date...

The GSL doesn't mean much to me personally, and no one beyond myself and one or two other guys in my gaming circles know what the heck a GSL, OGL, or STL monster is. And I only know the barest of smidgens of info. But I do know this: When someone commits to a date, and then consistently pushes...

Ah, yes. The discouragement against collecting wagonloads of mundane gear for market. Yet another concept I found sounded "stupid and too gamey" when I read previews of 4e... ...and now wholeheartedly support. Those damned designers and their good ideas. Bah. WP

For the purposes of this exercise, we're concerned with approximating the cleric's value across levels 4-8.

Hi: The player of our (only) cleric will not be able to attend a string of upcoming sessions. While we talked about just roughing it without the cleric, that won't work for us. It's a combat-intensive campaign and we need that healer. Badly. So...we talked about options. One guy could run...
