I played a crap-load of 4E this year. Between running a campaign, playing encounters and playing in a dark sun game. I also ran basic and a song of fire and ice in sporadic intervals between 4E.

I'm not going to play a single session of dnd. I'm going to lock all my dnd stuff away and play the mountain of games that I have accumulated over the years but haven't played because of dnd.

The blair witch, man she got into my head.

I'm going to show my age here and say the DND movie in 2000. I read the hobbit and lord of the rings when I was a kid but it never stuck until that movie.

You were playing with a couple of jerks. I think you played your character very reasonably and the other player and the GM were throwing their weight around.

When I play DND then I usually get inspiration from the same sources. Arthurian Legends, Robin of Sherwood, Harry Potter and Song of Fire and Ice. Lately though, I've been going back to fairly-tales and traditional monsters (like Trolls that live under bridges) so they have a big influence on...

This would be a very bitter-sweet moment.

This is a classic example of "sensitive minority" syndrome if anybody was wondering. If somebody speaks out then they have to be very, very careful what they say because people will and do use anything to try and make their point null-and-void. This is usually done by trying to prove that the...

Let me be clearer. I can't stand up for every cause, in every country and in every group. I can only speak out against things I don't agree with either with in my group (which the Dwarf issue has never come up) or in conversation (notice when I said it wasn't okay?). I don't need to be told how...

4E kind of screwed things up. All power sources are magic in a more defined (real world) cultural way but arcane is kind of left out in the dark. Primal = Mana Divine = Theocratic prayer Psionic = ESP etc Arcane, I guess is a catch-all for everything else. The whole pact thing reminds me of a...

This is going to have to be spectacular to bump Skullkickers off my pull-list.

No it's not but I'm not British, if a Brit found it offensive then it's on him to speak up. However, you're barking up the wrong tree as I've never play a Dwarf or had one in a campaign that I've run. I have, on numerous occasions, had to sit through offensive behaviour in fear of being "the...

It astounds me that people think like this. It's easy to say you'd be amused from a place of privilege. As an Asian dnd player, I can tell you most assuredly the monk is no walk in the park. The class is tolerable. People doing terrible racist accents and playing up stereotypes while playing...

She could just be a little worried. I mean, she knows nothing about the game right? From her perspective, she could be worried that the man she's considering for marriage is still playing with toys. A lot of people are image orientated and so that ill-informed view of roleplaying could lead to...

I'm in the middle of a pathfinder/3.5 purge for this exact reason. The rules are just too heavy and it's a drag to keep up/argue about them all the time. Although, 4E to me is getting the exact same way with the number of books and rules being tacked on. I know you're encouraged to ignore all...

I've never been in this situation before. I guess I'm lucky DM'ing for a bunch of people raised on violent video games and Tarantino rape/revenge plots. Although, if this situation did arise then I would want and expect the offended party to let me know, preferably via a note as to avoid...

I agree and I don't know why. And yet you do it anyway.

In my experience, this has been the mantra of most of the pathfinder and 1E players at my FLGS. Most of my friends and I resorted to trolling them about the new essentials books just because they would constantly attack the 4E guys about having to buy new books and supporting the evil empire...

I hated 3E because of the glut of rules/books players argued to bring to the game. I loved the aesthetics, feel and design of 4E. It all felt very comic-book to me which was awesome. But the same problem kept coming up after a year, players began to argue over books. I guess my opinion is a bit...

Okay, well I'm just going to call it here. I don't agree with you and it's clear your not going to accept my position either. I guess we'll see who's got the right idea if this theoretical future comes to past.
