Then I sense my first 4e campaign will include at least one instance of falling off a cliff. . . . . into lava. :]

Okay, I see what you're saying, and perhaps I didn't clarify my point. The point I was attempting to make, is that we, as players, knew from a previous encounter with two mind flayers that the law of averages was against us. We got blasted repeatedly in that first encounter until half of us...

Okay. . . I'll bite. Perhaps I am an idiot, which has yet to be disproven, but could you help me understand how I attacked myself here? I seriously am not seeing it.

I guess dinosaurs do ping my "wrongness radar" for some reason, even when they are an established part of an existing setting (such as Eberron--which I do like otherwise, btw). Just doesn't jive with my particular idea of fantasy, though I wouldn't leave a group over it. I'd be more annoyed by...

Funny that, in the current campaign I play in our party ran across a whole nest of mindflayers. At first, our party of 8th level characters bumped into 2 of them and a couple thralls. . . half of the party was out of the combat after the first round, and the SoB's just kept mindblasting. If it...

I don't mind if there is a bit more anime/video game influence in 4e at all. That being said, its really been hard to tell who's copying whom anymore. Seriously, D&D and videogames are like two hillbilly families that have been trading daughters for a couple generations. On another note, My...

Well, if the Ninja Turtles think its cool . . . So what are the chances that "cool beans" is still in?

Dude, that's totally cool!

NO MORE LEVEL DRAIN - Good. I always thought it was metagamey in the extreme, and a real PITA to deal with anyway. NO MORE (temporary) ABILITY DRAIN - Neutral- I really didn't mind ability damage, but I'll hold off and see what they plan to do in its place. NO MORE SAVE-OR-DIE - Good-...

I abuse "cool" regularly. Though I'm trying to lay off "dude" as much as possible. Apparently, its not cool anymore.

Indeed, I remember reading through that and waiting for them to get "lazer beam eyes", and "telekinetic flight". (Minor exaggeration---only minor) :D

I'd say, "Game over, man! Game over!"

Yeah, sorry, my humanity got in the way I guess. I'll go beat myself now. :\

In truth, my enthusiansm was drying up well before the 4e announcement, as 3.5 was becoming more and more of a chore for me to DM. The announcement of 4e did put the final nail in the coffin, though, as I was thinking of buying the Rules Compendium, but havent been able to work up the...

Okay, last thread derail, I promise. 1) Did go to: Shippensburg-but I'm an old man now. 2) I hope you're kidding with me. Even non-English majors were and are graded on spelling and grammar, so what's your point? Tell any English major that their degree is about spelling and grammar, and...

Tangent/ Minor twitches. The mangling I hear with Pennsylvania Dutch sentence structures bothers me a lot more than spelling errors. Alas, everytime I say "English Major" somehow its automatically equated with spelling and grammar. It makes me twitch more. Its. . . not. . . about. . . ...

Mostly a DM, and I voted for tougher PCs. I often get bored with how much of a "kids gloves" approach I need to take with most 1st or second level characters, and my players seem to agree. I still felt there was plenty of fear of death at even mid levels to go around, but maybe I just have an...

The English Major in me is spinning at the thought of comparing Shakespeare to a frickin D&D gnome cartoon. Hyperbolie much? For the record: No-such-comparison. No. No even now. No, not now either. I said no, and I mean it Besides, you realize you play a...

Obvious mammary glands are always called for. . . . always.

I find "The Rouse" to be highly ambiguous. I mean really, what does this say about the man? What the HECK is a Rouse? How am I supposed to get any idea of what HE does based on this name? My gods! You're all killing Scott with this and everybody who reads it will now be forced to use it...
