Oh, I forgot something: I'm sure the spellplague will kill off every race that isn't described in the 4e PHB. So if gnomes aren't in the 4e PHB, the Spellplague will probably have the side effect of killing them all. And some kobold sorcerers will probably use high magic to erase the names of...

I have no problems about the High Magic part, but the part about a couple of epic spellcasters being able to destroy a deity just like that was beyond ridiculous. Talk about. Deus Ex Machina. Especially because the elves could just go and erase the names of Lolth, Gruumsh, and all their...

What's appropriate for the Realms seems to have lost all meaning. They seem intent on making the Realms free anything unique.

It doesn't? It will probably get me to drop the Realms. And maybe all other WotC products to boot.

I want uset his opportunity to repeat that change isn't all-or-nothing. Your average Realms fan likes how the Realms aren't like some bad TV series where after the episode, everything is exactly as it was at the beginning. We like change. We just don't like change to be so complete, so trastic...

Okay, I'm taking a deep breath, now I can shout out "I WON'T BUY IT!" that much louder! Sure, we only know a couple of things. All the rest could be wonderful. But I doubt it. I base that on simple statistics and law of averages. I just can't think of a reason the rest of the changes would...

Just you wait, they'll put warforged, and changelings, and lightning rails and dragonmarks into the FR.

I wouldn't call that stale, though. It changed with each edition. In the D&D version of Trivial Pursuit, there'd probably be a card like "Identify the following editions by the rules for elves" :p

From the pieces of information we do have it doesn't sound as if I'd bother with it. Which brings me to the second point: Since I probably won't use their timeline stuff, I won't have use for their books. I'd have liked a new FRCS with 4e goodness, but since they insist on going away from those...

http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mi/20070927a The Osyluth is OK enough, I guess. The real crime is that yuan-ti. That's a rare?? Three colours. The trend of crappy rares continues.

I'm all for new ideas, but what I really want out of 4e is a new edition, not a new game. Those "stale" things we have had in the past are still there because they work, and are popular. If you go change happy and imagine all those cool new things, you're going to end up with a 4e that doesn't...

Unless this is ineed a nightmare episode thing, I wouldn't put it past WoTC to pre-determine a century of activities. After all, they already talk about changes that FUBAR the Realms, a 100-year-jump won't make it any worse after that. If the crap they've been telling us was something like...

Those in my old group didn't. Not what I call proper playing/attendance. So I left the group. The current group has no WoW players.

Unless they do it the Bo9S way and give you half your non-wizard levels as caster level. That would make your caster level 9. I don't think a guy with 14 levels of fighter and two levels of wizard should blast people away with arcane destruction. He's a fighter who has been picking up some...

Agreed. I don't think that there are many people who play WoW just because they can't find D&D players, and the online table will be the end of Blizzard or something. It's two different kinds of games.

Let me note now that I don't like that system, at least not for D&D. I'm all for consolidating skills (so, say, hide and move silently will become sneak, tumble, balance and escape artist will become acrobatics, and so on), and maybe even getting rid of class skills (though maybe they'll steal...

I'm still waiting for mine. It seems destined to be the Realms' capstone, since it's likely that a lot of fans will be turning away from 4e FR in disgust. So I hope the FR's funeral eulogy will live up to the Realms.

Deities. And subraces! :p Honestly: I'd rather have some more deities than less of them. I agree with the info about the other continents. But who knows: Maybe they'll all be destroyed in the 3e-4e transition because that's too many continents and too many campaign settings in one and people...

I agree. I hate how they put every little pdf in a zip file. No problem with putting file collections into zip files, but a single pdf? Paizo's personalised PDFs come in zip files, so it seems to be possible to do it. Still, unless they break apart the new dragon/dungon (the way the first...

Depends. If I preferred 3e, I'd see no reason. If I was angry about WotC or trolling, then yes. I'd take up one of those playtesting spaces and not do anything with it. Give them some hassle. If I were a short-sighted troll, I'd take the whole playtest material and make it public. ;) I don't...
