    Into The Fire!--Contrasting Analysis of 4E and 3.5E

    Greetings! Excellent stuff my friends! Keep it coming! I haven't bought *anything* for 4E yet. I have an enormous library of 3.5 stuff. In fact, I have a larger and more diverse collection than many game stores. I have books that I have hardly even glanced at--much less had the opportunity to...

    Social Dynamics and Change In The Campaign

    Greetings! OH! Such beautiful *IRONY*, heh, El-remmen? That sounds very cool. I bet it makes them struggle and really wonder about what their doing, and the implications of it. I love the whole political struggle thing. That's always a neat element to bring to the campaign. Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    Social Dynamics and Change In The Campaign

    Kid--that's just pure *GOLD* my friend! Talk about providing a very different role-playing experience for the players! Just outstanding! Through all of that, there are plenty of opportunities to provoke changes in society that have enduring effects. Along the way, the players get the...

    Social Dynamics and Change In The Campaign

    Very cool, man! Players setting up their own organizations that can inlfuence the political and social landscape of the campaign. Indeed! Good stuff there! Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    Social Dynamics and Change In The Campaign

    Greetings! Do many of you my friends develop social dynamics that change the cultures within the campaign milieu? It seems to me that if one were to avoid doing so, the campaign cultures would seem *static* For example, in our own real-world history, the Church's increasing possession of land...

    Into The Fire!--Contrasting Analysis of 4E and 3.5E

    Greetings! Well, I've been away for a bit now. Things in the *Big Ocean of Life* have kept me out of it. I'm back now, though.:) So, perhaps a good line-up of you gentlemen--and women--could give *ME* a thorough, detailed analysis of 4th Edition D&D. I want to hear cogent, well-thought out...

    The default campaign world - new article

    Greetings! Well, I certainly think that a vast stretch of wilderness, dark and teeming with unknown teeth and screaming death is great, for any campaign. However, as Visceris pointed out so well, what about city and urban-based adventures and campaigns? If there is nothing but small...

    I hope the three core rulebooks have a "DM's clause".

    Greetings! I thought was what "RULE ZERO" was for? :) Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    D&D 4E 4E tidbits from WotC blogs (Updated:David Noonan on Social Interactions)

    Greetings! *laughs* Thanks, Henry! Well, true. I should have elaborated more. In Warhammer, there are lots of beginning careers that offer a few skills, profile benefits, and Career exits. As you advance, however, and if your character already has the profile advance, and most of the skills, it...

    Gaming Pornography: Will 4th Edition lead to a more Realistic and Useful Game?

    Greetings! Excellent post Jack! I understand quite well your point. You make a very good argument for how the flavour and style of the game has changed over the years. Back in the day, all the games I played in with people were like you suggest in the beginning section of your story...

    Are you a 3.5e grognard? Post here!

    Greetings! +5 Keyboard!!!!! :) Thank you, sir. Preach on brother!!! Preach ON!!! It's just really grinding and unsettling thinking about not merely the expense of a new edition, but the discarding and uselessness of the whole 3.5E library. (SHARK looks at his library....a vast collection to say...

    Greetings! *SHARK lights up a Arturo Fuente Canone cigar...puffing slowly, watching the cherry light up, and a nice, even smoke...outstanding cigar, gentlemen!* It's good to see you all! *Waves to Psion!* :) Have a drink my friends! Have to celebrate our grognard status! :) I'm not sure...

    D&D 4E 4E tidbits from WotC blogs (Updated:David Noonan on Social Interactions)

    Greetings! Indeed, I think it is important to maintain a certain threat level from lower-level characters towards whatever classes of adventurer the players are--this is somewhat addressed in 3E, as that whole problem existed in 1E/2E. Thus, I certainly hope they do not enforce some kind of...

    Gaming Pornography: Will 4th Edition lead to a more Realistic and Useful Game?

    Greetings! Good post, Eric! :D The OP's line of reasoning made me think along the same lines. Indeed, like Jack, I very much enjoy the Western-European mytholgies that are central inspiration to 1E AD&D. However, I also enjoy mythology and history and inspiration from Chinese, Indian, and...

    Living Greyhawk CANCELLED in 2008 - rpga report

    Greetings! Well, Mortellan, *shrugs*--if you think that Greyhawk has been well-supported, and isn't dead--fine. I'm not just talking about *now* though. Greyhawk fans have been complaining for *years* that the campaign has been officially dead. The fact that a few adventures have been put out...

    *POLL* Do You Feel That Greyhawk is a Dead Campaign Officially?

    Greetings! I agree, Treebore. Excellent post! I guess you and I--and many others--are suffering under some kind of arrogant delusion for thinking that Greyhawk is dead, and has been for some time--many years, in fact--despite a few people that seem to hold to the belief that Greyhawk has been...
