Yeah, I'm pretty "meh" about the whole thing, so I could take it or leave it. It doesn't light my world on fire or anything. That has nothing to do with the changes between editions, I just never liked how "overcrowded" it always felt. We are using it as the default for our HotDQ campaign...

I will say I generally come down on the side of the DM here, even though I have been known to buckle more than once. I split DMing with another member of our group (even within the same campaign). My co-DM likes to play monsters.. . .a lot. I personally don't like to idea at all and wreaks...

No they didn't take them away, even though I started getting into it when the whole Satanic scare was in high gear. My Mom worried now and then about some teenage angst I went through and asked me if it had anything to do with D&D. Obviously, that was silly. I was a teenager and angst was...

Not looking to cancel, but I do have a 2 bed room at a Red Roof Inn about 10 minutes from the convention center, though it would require you to be able to drive there. I'm paying almost 2/3rd of what your paying for all four nights with just me.

Gotta say this sums it up for me!

Actually, I like ability score increases. I feel it contributes to a feeling of character growth and development within their role. I do agree that ability score enhancing magic just became too much in 3e. Honestly though I've seen no difficulties with ability score increases in 4e themselves...

CombatDeck - Role-playing Character Dashboard for iPhone For those who are interested. This is the first installment of the app, which is very pretty. The creators are interested in any feedback and looking at expanding options in the near future depending on feedback and popularity. Feel...

Oh boy, unfortunately, more than a few times. A little after my divorce I started looking for players for a 3.5 game. I forget where I saw the advertisement, but there was a local guys looking to start a gaming group, so I showed up. Several of the guys were older gamers like myself who...

Ignore, wrong post.

Sort of. . . . I don't go around announcing it to the general public, but my fiancee and her family knows (mine have known forever) of my gaming habits. She considers it "weird", but at the same time is just happy that I'm not into football and she adores me to death regardless. Her family...

Defect to Pathfinder? No,not a chance. I bought the books and looked through it- like many other posters before me I found it a nice little upgrade to 3.5, but not different enough to make up for what I see as 3.5's failings. Would I play in a Pathfinder game? Sure. I respect what they have...

If that is indeed the attitude that was given, then yes, bashing someone's 4e game (or any game) is just plain unnecessary. Show what you like by playing in those games and the rest would take care of itself. Discussing what you like and don't like is one thing, but nerdage elitism is just...

3d6 in order, take what you get? super slow advancement? just say "no" DMs? Yeah, I don't miss those days at all. I had fun, of course, but i think that was in spite of the system, not because of it. I even liked my DM at the time, but he was a hard@$$. When I started up playing again with...

To throw out my 2c, in that situation you make it very clear that your FR is not going to always, or maybe ever follow cannon. Ask your friend if they understand and are willing to accept that. If they say no, then you may want to look at a different campaign setting for your group. If they...

Having dealt with a large group of insubstantial, weakening, regenerating creatures very recently, I can attest that it is a bit too much. Having your damage quartered is a morale killer. Trying to focus fire on one such target at a time is probably the best bet, unfortunately, the...

Ugh, prolly, but i'd be inclined to use Hong's "throw dice at them" method of player behavioral modification if one of my players tried to pull that.

1e fighters rarely dealt bucketloads of damage compared to, say, a 1e fireball, nor do I believe they need to be the primary damage dealers to be effective. Again, combat is a heavy part of D&D. You have a character who is tough AND a damage engine, and you obsolete several other classes. 4e...
