Amusingly enough, my group doesn't use the CB and all 5 of the OP's points apply to our 4E game. You can always choose to keep things simple if you want to.

See I think it would be far more interesting to say that there are no gods, but we still see classes with the divine power source functioning. Maybe they are worshiping the earth itself or elements like the original version. What if the Primordials killed off the gods and usurped their place...

B/c they did that in 2E and it didn't sell well. 4E is all about opening possibilities, not saying no. You can have a different spin on things and still allow races and classes. They have already said some of these races and such will be listed as pretty rare. Someone talked in another DS...

Yeah that alone is enough to make me want to see it. Sadly couldn't go when it was in theaters, but I'm sure to snag it off netflix

No it wasn't trying to one-up, it was just providing a bit of history. The site started out as Eric Noah's 3rd Edition site and was started a year prior to the release of 3E. All the previews that came out were gathered here, all news and rumors came thru here. Then it turned into a...

I see this whole comment as just another reason to keep the double HP (and likely double size healing surge as well) method from 2E.

B/c then Biff might steal the Delorean and you might never exist

Ooh! Call it "Elbow Room". Or would that be better for an ability that makes a close burst power add an extra box of range?

Indeed. If it's bad we can direct the lynch mob to ENWorld to find him. Man, that's convenience for ya! *grin*

I prefer dark backgrounds in general. My LCD gets pretty darn bright and the muted colors works better for me. The categories seem to be pretty well ordered to me since the most recent changes, but I've been here since it was Eric's site. The irony of this complaint paired w/that big sig is...

Louisville Game Store over on Bardstown Rd does War machine tournies, sells a variety of gaming stuff. Something To Do Games at Oxmoor Mall has tables, runs magic tourneys, believe they have people who play RPGs instore as well. Decent selection. Book and Music Exchange, Half Price Books and...

Surge and focus seem to produce similar results in many cases as to what you would receive from using an AP. Having both in the system along with APs would be pretty strong. Things like Buy the Numbers in 3E were very interesting ways of turning D&D into a point buy system. I think a point...

Really all the edition warring is silly. WotC won the edition war. They get our money for both editions. This also means 4E won b/c they decided it was what they would rather market. *shrug* Calling a system teeball so you can imply its players aren't playing a "real" game is lame. Feel...

This is great advice. My first time I played we had one guy who had the Arms Law book pretty well memorized and could flip to weapons with no difficulty. We used a battle board and he tracked health for the GM and looked up eveyrone's rolls on the charts. The next game we played, we all...

3.x is "less filling". 4E is "tastes great" (debate among yourselves if it should be reversed) 3.x is key lime pie. 4E is pumpkin pie I like pumpkin, don't like key lime. It analogizes me and my situation at least :)

You know I would find the whole teeball thing much more workable if the original statement had said something like "The new version of D&D comes equipped with an optional tee for your baseball". I wouldn't dispute that in the least. There are many simplifications, especially compared to...

Well 4E feats were weak and uninteresting by design really. On the Dex, I just meant that armor requirements were all strength based, armor was strength based, we had no styles that really fell to an especially dextrous individual. Are the surge and focus in addition or instead of action...

Seems interesting in the proof of concept early doc. Here are my notes from a quick viewing at work: 1)Executioner and Sniper are the only styles requiring another fighting style. Both require the assassin. More styles coming built off of other styles? 2)How many fighting styles do you get...

I used to game (for an extremely short time) with a guy in college who wanted to be a movie director. He had very definite character ideas for everyone and had me setup as the cleric son of some powerful ruler or something, supposedly very pivotal in the story he was working up to. So our 2nd...

I want that anyway :) WotC isn't actively developing and releasing content for 8 different world settings, 3 magazines, a crapton of novels, etc. I skipped on 3.5 b/c I felt it was certainly too soon and my gaming group was in the process of dying anyway. 4E brought me back. It's been nice...
