Or simply less "simulationist" and more "gamist" spells. Like all 4E seems to be designed. (A good thing IMHO)

There is no such thing like a 2-way dilemna between "destroying walls and do whatever we want" and "plot-coupon collection". Sadly, this myth is strong and D&D is not the RPG that gives the best tools to destroy it.

I think the same.

WoTC decision to hire Mike Mearls is probably the best one since they acquired D&D....

Can someone explains me why many peoples doesn't want to suscribe to it while it's FREE ? It doesn't even ask for adress/billing info !

NWN series is a good (I wouldn't say great) CRPG, however regarding FR lore and feel, it's often wrong (sometimes very wrong). When a lead designer doesn't even know who Ed Greenwood is, don't be surprised ;)

No love for FR ? Haunted halls of Eveningstar ;)

That's the best idea about 4E !

That's the guy who made me quit WOTC boards ;)

Giving us the year in which the FRCG is set would have been a nice thing to do...

I would prefer them to be cut out. However, if they keep them, they should be an option (i.e. not like under 3.x where you only loose something if you don't use them).

The "boring" thing was said about the Plane of vaccuum. The idea behind the change is more "those planes weren't built as adventure sites, and if they are not fun to adventure into, they are useless". Something like a monster in MM that isn't designed to be in a encounter with the PCs. Sounds...

No, you completly missed the 4E idea here.

Try to do some buffer-swords LARP without wearing armor or shield, and you'll see how important is a weapon for defense ;)

Killing Mystra 2.0 is great IMHO. I don't see why Helm has to be killed, but I like that "tragedy".

I hope rogues will be able to sneak attack elsewhere than in full light :)

Most of the 3.0 new monsters built for the MM1. They did a really better job in the later ones. For the classic ones, don't remove them, rebuild them keeping the focus on the basic concept. If you can't came up with different goblins/hobgoblins/orc/bugbear, remove one some of them.

A very simple definition of Simulationist play is : Exploration is THE priority. So what I said, is that "good roleplaying" can be achieved without having Exploration as the MAIN priority.

And that's one of the myth that should die... In "GNS" words : Exploration is "essential", simulationist play is not.
