Chris Pramas must be stopped! Also, I agree. As soon as he said that, the h4ters jumped all over it, duct-taped it to their banners, and have been parroting it ever since.

What does alignment have to do with this? I got the same thing in a homebrew sci-fi game I played in a couple of years back. It's just characterization.

Dear Mr. Reynolds, More Leeroy. Less potato-head. Colour saturation = good. Porn star poses = bad. Yours truly, Dr. Awkward

Never in my 17 years of gaming have I allowed the flavour text to prevent me from running a monster in the manner that I wish to. I really don't see why this issue has been allowed to hijack the thread. Can we drop it? Also: "I got in one little fight and my skeleton got scared..."

Perhaps you haven't played The Whispering Cairn. There's nothing quite like watching my players try to figure out the lantern room. It usually involves multiple party members falling great distances onto stone floors. I've run it twice, and it was a laugh riot both times. It wouldn't have...

Here's where I share and don't share your concerns: One thing that has been bugging me lately is the utter lack of fluff text for monsters. There is no ecology information at all, no text on the habits and tactics of the creatures, their outlooks, histories, or organizations. Just "Chuuls...

Well, would you rather remember Super Mario, or Ronald Reagan? I rest my case.

First, it's a ruling on the fly, not a house rule. Second, the pro-4e crowd tend to have no qualms about house-ruling 3.x. In fact, they tend to be those people who have a ton of house rules for 3e that they anticipate becoming unnecessary when 4e rolls around.

Stockholm syndrome?

I started gaming on an Apple II+. It was an amazing system in its day, with its 48kB of system memory (upgraded to 64kB!). It totally blew away the TRS-80. I used to play a lot of Lode Runner. It blows my mind that the kids in the classes I tutor have probably never played the original Super...

And it's awesome now. It makes an actual hand that can lift 20 lbs. Plus, it can pull out potions, implements, ammo, whatever you need from your various packs and pouches. If you need to, you can have it go into your backpack, pull out a particular potion, and deliver it to the fighter as a...

I love you.

People keep saying this. They also keep saying it like there's something wrong with young video gamers. However, I'm not a young video gamer, and I like most of what I've seen (although why do the monsters have no fluff text?!). And there are lots of old roleplayers on here besides me who...

Well, let's look at these on a case-by-case basis, in the order presented in that thread: Mirror Image: 3e: You create up to eight false targets that can completely protect you against being targeted by attacks or spells with a success rate proportional to the number of images. 4e: You gain +6...

I read bloodied as "you have drawn blood". The opponent has a fat lip, a bloody nose, perhaps a few scratches on his knuckles where he parried a sword somewhat poorly, a nick on the arm where he barely dodged an arrow, etc. He's not about to die, but he's starting to have a much harder time...

There's a difference between saying "I wonder how 4E will address this," and saying "4E doesn't address this!"

What? Doesn't everyone know that a square is 7.58 microfurlongs?

I've seen Races & Classes, but I haven't seen Worlds & Monsters yet. I'll be glad if they impress me.

This picture is the only piece of 4E art that I actually like. Most of it I'm totally ambivalent about, and some of it (notably both covers of the PHB so far) I kind of dislike. This picture is super. I dig those iconics, I like the composition, the dragon is totally sweet, and the colour...

Yeesh. How about we all just stand over here... Behind cover. :uhoh:
