This absolutely mirrors my experiences with D&D over the past 10-12 years. In 3.0, I ran a game from 1-18 over the span of about 3 years of weekly games (we partially switched to 3.5 by the end). By the time levels hit the double-digits, I began to notice imbalances creeping in. By the...

This decision is probably not even one the designers will have to make; lawyers and execs probably have much more to do with it.

Whaddya know. Me too :D I tried to XP him, but I'm still on cooldown as well.

Does she get the sense that it is trying to communicate with her?

Sabynha half-expected the great tree to strike Wat down for his tone, or at least give him a solid buffeting, and was absolutely sure there was nothing in her power to stop him. She even cringed when the ground began to tremble. Relief was painted clearly on her face when that didn't happen...

Ah, yes I could see that being an issue :)

Are you talking about the post above yours, or what's happening in our game at the moment?

This, as I understand it, was intended to be a "dial" that individual tables could adjust from "off" to "full restore after each encounter" and everything in between. Presumably the book will cover this in some detail since it seems to be a sticking point for many. I don't see any exclusion...

Fine. I disagree. I could come up with a great big list of things I hate about 3.x/PF as well, but I think it's much more productive to focus on and defend ideas that I *do* want to see, rather than rail against things that I don't. I essentially have no issues with them including anything that...

"Now you've made him angry! I thought you lived here?" Sabynha was annoyed by Shandra's social gaffe. "I'm sure she meant no disrespect, treemaster. We fleshlings often speak in haste when our emotions get the better of us. My apologies." The vistani swept into a low bow, and shot a...

I brought it up to make people think about it. I am not going to go there. That in and of itself is a difference. Read into it what you like.

Not the point; I'm speaking hypothetically. Also, this.

While I think we can all agree that this makes sense, I'd be curious to see the reactions from fans of the game if it were PF-isms that we were discussing, dissecting, bashing, and asking proponents to justify for inclusion in the game going forward. I think that was Pour 's point more than...

Yeah, there can be little doubt that the initial adventures were some of the most poorly designed ones ever published for the game. Did they even play-test this stuff before releasing to the wild? The initial batch that made it into the magazines is not much better from what I hear. I've read...

The thing is, we shouldn't even need to be having this discussion. There are rules in place that are not being followed and nothing is being done about it. I think the point is not that users should be confronting those posts/posters, but moderation should be. Particularly with a "strict" no...

I'm very much inclined to agree with you, though as I understand it, his initial comment on the matter paints that entire playstyle as one of player entitlement, not something exclusive to 4e. It's just easier to point at 4e because it does that playstyle pretty weill, whether one finds merit in...

That's kind of the point. It's not something suitable for public discussion; it gets very personal, very quickly and is against the rules. I've reported posts that I think are pushing it, I've ignored others. If people meet the descriptor, they know who they are. I was speaking in general terms...

I don't know how broad it really is. There are people being inflammatory, and it's been taking a certain slant. I don't think it's a far cry to call it like it is. I certainly don't think it applies to everyone making criticism.

We passed that point a couple times recently and no moderation to be had; just rude and insulting thread-crap side-swipes. Why even report this stuff if nothing gets done about it?

Yeah, I had a feeling that the "other" thread was being intentionally derailed, I even said as much, but trust me, the h4ters know how to work the system around here, they know just how much they can get away with. They don't go in swinging, they like to goad, or make it look like innocent...
