    Are you a 3.5e grognard? Post here!

    Greetings! Well, I certainly hope they provide some thorough conversion notes, so that if customers--oh, yeah, all those loyal, devoted customers that invested thousands of dollars in 3.5E books--can not only use 4E, but also still maintain some of the solid value in the 3.5E books they have...

    David Noonan on playtesting experience

    Greetings! Hopefully, they will make 4E have some major improvements in the prep-time. That's always welcome, even for a well-prepared DM. :D Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    PHB, MM, DMG covers

    Greetings! I have to admit--I think the covers *rock*!!! They look clean, vibrant, and dynamic! A vast improvement over the lame, or at least boring and dull covers so often used for 3.0 and 3.5E. I'm glad to see that--Hopefully--WOTC is finally getting their act together, and getting with...

    So who is going to be the 3.x "Diaglo"

    "Some" traditional classes to get the axe - Which ones do you reckon?

    Greetings! I agree, Green Slime. I think you're spot on with that! Talents and feat trees--even as we looked at 3.0 originally, in the original conception--PRC's were really unnecessary. Remember all the stuff in Sword and Fist about making whatever kind of character you wanted using the base...

    D&D 4E Will you buy 4e?

    Greetings! Well, yeah, I'll buy the books. Most of my friends will certainly leap into it full-bore, so I will definitely get all the damn books. I'm not thrilled with the timing though, and the thought of invalidating my entire library of 3.5E books, that I have spent thousands and thousands...

    My concerns for D&D Insider

    Greetings! Well, I admit, I am concerned about the whole "anything you write on those boards is WOTC property". However, I do have players that really like being able to make characters up digitally, and that sort of thing. In that respect, it does make character generation faster, and...

    D&D 4E D&D 4E Presentation videos

    Greetings! Hmmm...that is a rather sobering thought. Good observations! Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    D&D 4E D&D 4E Presentation videos

    Greetings! Dragonblade! Hey! Yeah, the videos looked very cool, huh? I think there's a lot of outstanding potential in the Digital Initiative, with running scenarios, and so on. It looks very impressive! I'm surprised! This does look very exciting! 'Bout effing time though! :D In many of our...

    DI and freedom from the revision cycle

    Greetings! That was an excellent, thorough, and well-reasoned article, sir. I enjoyed reading it, and you offer some good points to consider. I hope you are right, and I appreciate your acknowledgement of the vast expense that many of us have invested in the 3.5E game, and the frustrations...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 is the REAL reason everyone is angry

    Greetings! You're very welcome my friend! :D Geez, this whole thing....it really just leaves a grinding, bad taste in my mouth. It doesn't matter really what they do in 4E. The simple fact is this: Is 3.5E's problems *so* severe, as to invalidate my thousands and thousands of dollars...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 is the REAL reason everyone is angry

    Greetings! Well, perhaps I am not an important demographic to WOTC. I understand that many gamers are casual players, or poor, or whatever--and only buy the effing Player's Handbook. I, however, am a DM. I have more than an entire bookshelf full of books for D&D 3.0 and D&D 3.5E. I have spent...

    Are you a 3.5e grognard? Post here!

    Greetings! Well said, Olgar! I guess we are caught in a precarious position. To my mind, there are two salient considerations: (1) Business: Yes, yes, I'm familiar with the whole marketing thing, profit drive, and the need to generate new sales and so on. I get that. Releasing 4E certainly...

    Ryan Dancey on Redefining the Hobby (Updated: time elements in a storytelling game)

    Greetings! Outstanding points, Dragonblade! Just excellent, my friend! I would add a few additional comments. (1) Time Laborious: WOTC fumbled a glorious opportunity with E-Tools. That, right there--was a salient opportunity to revolutionize the hobby. Not so much to make it into a video-game...

    Embracing Dynamic Discoveries and Change in the Campaign!

    Greetings! Cameras heh? How have your players responded to that little invention? That sounds pretty neat. Has the development of cameras made any other, larger campaign influences? Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    Is WoTC even relevant to you anymore?

    Greetings! Well, I would like to think as gamers, as customers--we are relevant to WOTC. Having said that, there does seem to be some crazy trends they are going in that are at significant odds with much of the *core base*. How that works out in the end, well, that's harder to say. *shrugs*...

    Requiring Players To Draw The Dungeon Map!

    Greetings! Hmmm...interesting discussion! Well, while I certainly don't *require* mapping, it can be fun, at least for some--like some members here have said. It seems to add something to the game-play; the players wondering what is in each room as they draw it, and as the DM describes the room...

    Do You Use Different Languages In Your Campaign?

    Greetings! Hmmm...well, yeah, Nifft, I suppose so! "Damn Right"= Yes, yes, very true, yes even that; you know it! Added for emphasis or exclamation. Semper Fidelis, SHARK
