If your group can access the Internet regularly, I'd toss my vote in the way of a wiki as well. (My current groups uses a Yahoogroup for scheduling and chit-chat, and a WIki for campagin info.) It can be as detailed or as brief as you like, and you can take turns writing up session recaps...

Sticking with 3.5 for our Savage Tide & Age of Worms game. (We're at "Sea Wyvern's Wake" and "Hall of Harsh Reflections" respectively. Then, we may switch to 4E, but WAY more likely to switch to Pathfinder.

Nothing to see here. Stupid double-posts!

I agree with your first statement…. BUT WotC should have had AT LEAST a working character generator available for the 4E launch, seeing how they touted the DI as a “Cornerstone of the 4E experience.” To not have at least that much online by launch is a travesty, in my eyes, and does nothing to...

Add me to the list of "Midnight" fans, as well! It's a bit of a departure (both Rules AND settingwise) from the Core 3.5 stuff, but it's WELL worth the purchase, and remains one of the jewels of my collection. Before playing, though, I would explain to potential players that this really is a...

I wouldn't say I "dislike" 4E, per se; it's more that I'm strangely apathetic about it. :cool: As a life-long D+D player (I'll date myself and say late-70's on), I just don't care for the direction the game is currently headed, both fluff AND crunch wise. And I don't see the need to shell...

Count me in as one of those who prefers print books as opposed to E-books. That said, I have bought PDF copies of books, and will likely continue to do so. BUT, price-point is far more important for me when it comes to E-books; where I might spend $40 on a harcover book I want, I'd be loath...

Yeah, there's material on Innsmouth scattered all through many of the CoC rulesbooks; I'll see what I can dig up to point you towards. (And, as mentioned "Escape from Innsmouth" should still be findable, either in bookstores on online.) Also, if you have an Xbox, I'd HIGHLY recommend the "Dark...

I'll just agree with everything that Merric originally posted. WotC made this an epic fail; they touted the DI as a "Conerstone of the 4E experience", yet we've seen next to no progress on that side of things. Interesting how things change in the course of a year; after the 4E launch, everyone...

I got the impression that it was because: A) It would provide more space for "fluff" about the world and it's inhabitants. and B) (the more important reason) they're working on an Amethyst novel that will liekly incorporate some of that fiction.

I'm not a businessman, so take my 2 copper with a grain of salt... But I think Midnight came out at a time when people had (more-or-less) fully digested and assimilated the 3.5 rules. So, yes, some of the changes were sweeping, but it was still recognizable at it's core as 3.5. To release...

My group and I are sticking with 3.5 for the forseeable future. We play a number of disparate systems (CoC, M&M, True20, Castles & Crusades, and a BUNCH of other systems), and we generally don't mind shelling out money for a new system or supplement we want to try. Intersestingly, no-one is...

What he said. (I'll cross-post this on your forums, too.) :) Well, my copy of the softback (ordered through Lulu, with a REALLY speedy turnaround time!!) arrived yesterday, and I'm pretty impressed overall. I got the same chills leafing through it that I got when I first picked up the...

Will 4E suceed? I'm sure it will. Will it suceed as much as they woudl like it to? The outcome on that seems more doubtful, in my eyes. And I think there's a number of reasons for that. :1: One of the reasons 3E was such a resounding sucess was because there was near-universal opinion that a...

Interesting. My group routinely decides what we play on the day we play! It doesn't phase any of us; we're lucky enough to have people willing to try anything. We have an ongoing "Age of Worms" and "Savage Tide" games, and we're currently considering playing "Pathfinder [RotRL]", "Mutants and...

What Umbran said. Though I personally do tend to agree that pre-opinions do carry quite a bit of weight, and that word-of-mouth CAN make or break a game. (Witness the movie industry; how many movies have sunk or swim based on word-of mouth?) When 4E was announced, I was firmly in the "Don't...

I'm actually not,and I've been reading "Dungeon" on and off since it's inception in the mid-80's. I'm not a big fan of reading online; I'm more likely to print out things I find of interest. And that, of course makes me remember that, less than year ago, I could HAVE printed content in front...

And that's my primary concern. Given that Wizards is hyping the "Digital Initiative" as a cornerstone of their 4E experience, I'm completely underwhelmed by both Gleemax and the WotC homepage, both in terms of usability and presentation. (And note that I'm neither a WebDesigner nor a...

I'm part of the minority in this thread apparently; I'm not a Web Designer, and while I'm reasonably tech-savvy, I don't fancy myself as being as knowledgable in that area as many folks 'round ENWorld. AND I've never played WoW or been to their website, so I'm not gonna make any comparisons...

My two copper on the situation? The reveiw had some vaild points, though he's not as funny as he fancies himself to be, IMO. IMO, TSR/WotC really is hurting themselves with their poor online offerings, especially when one considers that they want the Digital Initiative to be a cornerstone of...
