I quickly reply that the option "who is this cadfan guy and why is he peering through my window with binoculars" is missing, and show that by excluding this option, your poll is useless. I use my Sears ordered degree in pseudologic to create a strawman of titanium that is completely...

I note how all those who don't agree with me are Hitleresque monsters who experiement on children and eat puppy dogs, and secretly plot the death of D&D. Having said that, I add that my opinion, though never actually stated, has never been disproven. In the ensuing confusion, I swear about how...

Understandable. A lot of people want to see more concrete mechanics. I have a feeling the much more crunchy stuff will start to come out later rather than sooner, though. Take that for the good or bad that you may.

If they give you everything you wanted, would there be a book to purchase? Wow, talk about an overreaction to my very neutral Email. Look, I'm sorry WotC isn't giving you everything YOU want. You're just proving my point that not everyone is going to be happy with what WotC is doing. On the...

I'd like to go on record saying I think WotC has done a fairly admirable job so far with prepping for 4e. Granted, I'm still not crazy about the cancellation of the Dungeon and Dragon mags in print form. I really am not concerned one bit if there was a little verbal sight of hand as to whether...

I always had a love-hate relationship with Palladium. Heroes Unlimited was my actual first exposure to it, though, not Palladium Fantasy. Until M&M came out, I found it to be the best supers system out there. Of the system in general, I hated the way skills were set up, just seemed clunky...

I consider myself a very experienced DM, and my players generally agree. With that said, many of the spells mentioned cause a lot of grief for me, especially since i have some very clever players. There's only one of me, and many of them. Arm them with spells that are easily abusable and its...

I have mixed feelings. I could see the benefits to some degree of abstraction, but too much makes the point of different weapon listings nearly moot. My primary concern is that they attempt to balance weapons a little better, so that any one (I'm looking at you Greatsword) doesn't look so much...

Klaus, pure awesome on the picture, pure awesome.

I wouldn't mind a simple d6/ 10', with an additional fort save vs DC 10+1/10' fallen ( or maybe DC15+1). If you fail the save, you take double damage. I also like the idea about the terrain you land on increasing/decreasing the damage multiplier (ie:rocky field crits x3 if you fail, etc). Its...

I couldn't agree more with this ^ DOWN WITH THE GREAT WHEEL!!!!!!!! Though personally, what I'd really like to see is just a loose cosmos with a bunch of different planar ideas, and maybe several conceptual models on how they interact on a multiplanar level, and encourage DMs to take what they...

Just don't care, frankly. I've been tired of the whole Great Wheel cosmology for some time now, so I've pretty much been making up my own cosmologies for my campaigns. The 4e stuff looks interesting though, so I may borrow some of the ideas there. And in truth, I've known very few DMs who did...

Initially when I heard about the 4e release I was actually relieved. Yes, relieved. The things back in the beginning of 3e/3.5 that were just minor annoyances played on me over and over again like chinese water torture, until I got sick of it. AoOs, grappling, constant need to look up rules...

Okay, pardon my interjection, and here's my take for what it may be worth: Why is it a nonsequitur? I mean, you can work only with what you know thus far and still have your entire argument negated, or severly damaged, with any new info that comes out. How is the fact that much of the new...

I've seen jut as many diehard 3.5 fans as those who complained about its shortfalls long before the 4e announcement. Strangley enough, sometimes the 3.5 fans themselves were the ones complaining about its shortfalls. I also feel that 3.5 is the best system we have right now, but lets be...

Elric rocks! Babylon 5 rocked! And anyone who thinks I'm "aging" will get cracked upside the head with my walker.

This is purely my own experience from 1e, but I clearly remember one character, a half orc, who died numerous times. (6, I think). It got old fast, but i honestly think our DM back then was pretty good too. Also had a paladin that bit it, and a Drow Fighter that kicked at least once. I can't...

In D&D? Yup In real life? Not so much. Many real life fights end up going to ground. And the guy on the bottom isn't always the one at the disadvantage. But again, working w/i the framework of D&D being "tripped to death" is quite an ignoble and frustrating way to go out, getting caught in...

Agreed. One Elf type, with an allowance for Drow since there so freakishly different. You want a wild elf? Muss up your hair, beat your head against a rock (don't put a lot of points into INT), pick up a spear, and eat those funny steroid berries (put your points in STR). Want a grey elf...

What? What's fake at Maxim? *dawns on me* . . . . NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
