I agree with Crothian. It wasn't even amusing. I can take some nerd ribbing, but that was just. . .uninspired. I actually think they made themselves look just as dorky as the folks they made fun of.

My Monday group usually runs -4.5 hours. Same for my Wednesday group. I play in a bi weekly Sunday group that usually goes for more like 5-6 hours.

*raises hand* Even though I plan to check out 4e, a rules compendium for 3.5, if done right, would be a nice way to round out my 3.5 collection.

While I think 3.5 players are more likely to stick with 3.5 if 4e sucks, than to switch to earlier editions, its not implausible that a few may go back to older systems. I myself have had an urge now and then to play a B/X game, but I'd never go back to 1e (MPO). The kind of simplification 4e...

I vote for keeping both as an option, or multiple versions, and let the individual groups decide. Though I also think the DMG should discuss the possible effects various approaches can have on the power level of the campaign.

I endorse the above message. As many others, I have no problem with people having a few brews or whatnot during the game, but getting drunk or stoned rarely turns out well. That is, unless you're comfortable with the people you play with and their all happy go lucky when buzzed (like myself)...

I haven't played C&C yet, but I was initially interested in giving it a try. Though I know that that doesn't "really" qualify for the purposes of this thread, I'd like to say that I was someone who really, really wanted to like C&C, but just couldn't--- at least not more than 3.5. The DM in me...

Save or dies aren't fun for me. I wouldn't mind them being much rarer. -10 death rule actually seems to rough for me at higher level, and a bit wonky when your high level fighter goes from fine to dead in one hit. I'd be all for expanding the dying and disabled range as characters advance...

Never trust a toon . . . . . they're all kinda sketchy. :p

. . .And we can often imagine that what we have now is better than everything else. That could apply to 3.5, or to those who pick up 4e down the road. People often prove what they want to believe to themselves either way, by overlooking the bad parts, and focusing on the good parts. Depends...

Like a few others, I had a high level combat that took way too long . . . and even at mid levels times were beginning to drag notably. In my case, a 15 round combat that took two sessions to complete ( and that's all we did )had me contemplating whether I wanted to continue with 3.5. This...

33 But A &*^% fine 33 it is!

On a positive note, I hear your girlfriend will be easier.

Put me in the "I really don't care, but if they end up booting gnomes for it then YAHOOOO!" camp. While their at it, maybe they can replace Half-Orcs, or at least retool them so they are not mostly suck.

1) How much do you think the new books will run for? I'm thinking about $40 2) Do you plan on upgrading? Most likely. I've got some major gripes with 3.5 anyway, but I want to read over the core books before deciding to transfer to 4e. 3) Depending on the amount of money you spent on 3.5...

I can remember at least one other player who desperately wanted to play in my group (any group, actually), but his wife felt it would take away from the family. She sat in on one game . . . he never came back, with her stating that they "have kids" and it wouldn't work. I'm not sure if it was a...

I'm not seeing the comparisons to Monopoly or chess that seem to be made a lot here, and for many reasons that were listed above . . . its not an apt comparison. And after Firelance's Monopoly comment, I'd like to say that Risk suffers from the same kind of "If I get this, I win" syndrome...

Gnomes, can't live with 'em, can't shoot them out of a catapult. Oh wait . . . I got no problems if gnomes are dropped (or launched). Didn't seem like they were all that unique or interesting enough to play anyway. YMMV

I am a communist, and it was my conspiracy. . . Now I go hunt for moose and squirrel :cool:

If 4e can do this, I'll be a happy camper. Make my role as DM more fun and less work, please!
