    Living Greyhawk CANCELLED in 2008 - rpga report

    Greetings! Hmmm...well, +5 Keyboard, I would disagree with you, and I think you must be dreaming. Evidently, from this poll: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=204620 Over 90% of the members seem, oh, I don't know--they seem to think that Greyhawk has been "barely supported" or "Withered...

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

    Greetings! It is my feeling that Greyhawk has long been dead as an official campaign world. Yes, it has been supported in the magazines, and with an occasional adventure, but not much more. Compared to the support that Forgotten Realms recieves, Greyhawk gets next to nothing, and this has been...

    Living Greyhawk CANCELLED in 2008 - rpga report

    Greetings! Yes, I have always been a subscriber to Dragon and Dungeon both. :cool: Maybe you think that a few adventures, and support in the magazines is sufficient. Great. Most Greyhawk fans that I have talked to, do not think that is sufficient. I can't say it's terribly impressive...

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

    Greetings! Hmmm...well, if the whole helpless, lame and incompetent Stormtrooper thing from Star Wars is going to be a main feature, forget it. That's one rule I will "Rule 0" in a *snap* In my view, that kind of reasoning is not "innovative"--but rather, it is going *back* to some things...

    Living Greyhawk CANCELLED in 2008 - rpga report

    Greetings! *shrugs* Well, for those of you that disagree, and think that Greyhawk has indeed been supported well officially, and is a strong and vibrant campaign world--I suppose you are free to do so. However, most Greyhawk fans that I have ever talked to--the vast majority in fact--would...

    Greetings! Excellent article. That is very thoughtful, and persuasive. I like it a lot! :) Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    Can we please stop calling D&D Insider an MMORPG

    Greetings! Excellent point, Whizbang. I have discussed some of my frustrations with the arrival of 4E in other threads. However, getting with the program digitally and using computers and software and the internet and all that jazz to improve and develop the game, and open up new opportunities...

    Living Greyhawk CANCELLED in 2008 - rpga report

    Greetings! You know, I'm kinda amazed that there may be still some people about that cling to the belief that Greyhawk is somehow still important or relevant to WOTC. It seems to me that the World of Greyhawk has long since been abandoned, and it's beaten and dead carcass has only been...

    D&D 3.x 3E sucks, but keep playing it for next few months

    Greetings! Well, it has occured to me that I will just do both: I will run a 3.5E campaign, and a 4E campaign. That might just work out fine. There are still some 3.5E books I want to get, and I have no shortage of players that want to play 3.5E. Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    Anyone else think 4th Ed is to combat WoW?

    Greetings! Reebo--you have double posted this thread, my friend. The other thread of yours--with the same title--has many more responses to your topic. :) Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    D&D 3.x 3E sucks, but keep playing it for next few months

    Greetings! Good points all, Pemerton! :D I agree, in part. Some of the rules are time-consuming, and annoying to deal with. I'm just not convinced that the problems are (1) So huge, so pervasive, that it demands a whole new edition to fix. (And the required additional outlays in expenses to...

    Anyone else think 4th Ed is to combat WoW?

    Greetings! Very true, Arashi, very true! I don't see how anyone can miss the connection. Hell, I have many of my players that are always making references to what NWN does, or WOW, and what their characters can do there, their missions, races, and so on, in those worlds, as compared to D&D...

    Any New greyhawk news/confirmations?

    Greetings! Erik, you know, when I was in gradeschool--gosh, so long ago...the first campaign I ever played in was the Greyhawk Box setting--with the two small books, and all those crazy maps! :D Fun times, and lots of wonderful adventure and inpsiration! I really appreciate you carrying the...

    Tiefling as a core race?

    Greetings! Tieflings as a core race? :confused: Great. I would think they could come up with a better core race than the Tiefling. It's good that they shaft the Gnome though. Gnomes have always been the ugly step-child, standing in the shadow of halflings and dwarves anyways. Gnomes aren't...

    D&D 3.x 3E sucks, but keep playing it for next few months

    Greetings! Very true, Cevalic. Good point, too. I don't quite understand what is so "complex". What if something is too bothersome to niggle about all the details? So what. Just ignore it, or make a loose judgement and move on. Someone misses an AOO? No biggie. Just move on, and when the get...

    Class being penalized for doing its thing?

    Greetings! I don't quite see where the problem is, frankly. Clerics heal when they can, and when they can't, they launch flamestrike spells, or spiritual weapon, or blade barrier, or just pick up their mace and shield, and stride into battle, to aid the fighter, or protect the wizard, whatever...

    D&D 4E 4e - More monsters per encounter?

    Greetings! Hmmm...so, what's with the complaints? More monsters in an encounter--so when did this become *new*? In my 3.5E games, I have routinely used 30, 40, 50 or more orcs to attack a party of 12-20 members. Or maybe a marauding force of 60 orcs, 18 ogres, 12 Human/Half-Black Dragon...

    The best value in gaming is gone...

    Greetings! I guess I'm a Luddite. :D On one hand, I love books. I love magazines. I love collecting them, and has been mentioned--they are *physical* objects of information, inspiration, and imagination, as well as entertainment, that can go wherever I want to go--whether that is outside on...

    I wonder what the 3rd party publishers, who are dependant on WotC think?

    Greetings! Good job, Erik Mona! I know you will do great things at Paizo in the future with 4E, I imagine. I thought your editorial and the whole issue of the final issue of Dragon is outstanding. Im looking forward to the 3.5E products you have in the schedule as well! Thank you! Semper...

    D&D 4E Will you buy 4e?

    Greetings! Yeah, Wayne, I guess we can forget about converting much of anything. That's nice. :mad: I sit here and look at all the recent book purchases--the PHB II, DMG II, Drow book, Monster Manual IV, Monster Manual V, Spell Compendium, Champions book--and so on--and I wonder, what's the...
