Remember, they're still sitting on two "runner-up" setting from the Setting Search.

So, let me get this straight: this thread is just for angry grognards to bitch and moan in? And your other thread is for f4nboys to freak out with glee in? If that's the case, can we call a generalized moratorium on these activities in every other thread on the boards?

If I weren't going to sleep, I'd type the rest of them up. But I am. Someone else want to do it?

I was with you right up until you decided to characterize a style of play that you don't agree with as a "gamist hack'n'slash." The cheap shot in passing undermines your point. I also simultaneously note that the Ain't It Cool News reviewer has pointed out that it is entirely possible to...

Okay, I've noticed quite a few people over the last day or so who have decided that, despite previous hesitancy, they're now in for 4E. This is the thread in which to out yourselves officially. Are you a recovering 3e grognard? Have you been blinded by the Cascade of Light? If you can't beat...

Apparently, all DoD mini cards have 4E stats on them. http://ddxp.tumblr.com/post/27633270

No, one of the early playtest reports mentioned that their party had hit level 10 without yet being given a single magic item, and noted that this did not break the game.

Hey, new post circa 5 minutes ago. The DoD mini cards have 4E stats on them. Mike's iPhone isn't up to the task, so is there anyone there who can do a decent scan of these? People are gearing up to run mini 4E test games of their own, and more statblocks would be super for that.

Zing.

Once again, it's the difference between believability and realism. None of the stunts Legolas did in the LotR movies was realistic, but he sure did sell them like a pro.

Looking at this, and at the Roger Dean art, the essence of the Realms is apparently phallic vertical rock outcroppings. *cough*

Seriously? Where have you been? This is a term that was first used in gaming to describe the holdouts in the 70s who wouldn't taint their wargaming with all that "roleplaying" nonsense. Named for the French soliders who, as Wikipedia puts it, "were the soldiers who were old enough to know...

It is indeed your emphasis. Don't forget the magikal japenerse anime abilities. It's important to underline how anime (and, if possible, videogamey) 4e is. Otherwise, people might not evince the appropriate levels of angst toward the system.

Are fireballs round or cubic?

I call thief! Rowr. :cool:

So? The OP was complaining that Split the Tree is some kind of magic arrow-steering power, and that this made the ranger into some kind of crazy magic class. However, not only does this power not require a supernatural explanation, but it was also regarded as a perfectly fine thing for a...

Speak for yourself. I, for one, love doing things that aren't fun. The more I hate doing something, the more I love it! I'm a serious gamer.

I expect a few optional subsystems, either in the PHB or DMG, or to come in the martial supplement. I'm not surprised that for the first play preview of the new rules they would opt to use the most simple grapple rules they have available, in order to keep things moving smoothly.

I hardly consider an injury grievous if you can perform acrobatics without penalty while suffering from said injury. In 3e, HP are just as abstract as 4e, and represent exactly the same "bumps, morale, and luck" as they do in 4e. They just take longer to get back naturally. They're not more...
