IBL. This thread was doomed from the start. I've been playing since getting a Red Box 24 years ago and I've played all editions of D&D and I enjoy 4E quite a bit. I like a lot of other game systems too, but I fail to see how this thread helps anything.

We started a fresh group of characters for this adventure and even tho I was the one who bought it and was going to run it, a friend offered to instead, so I'll have to avoid the reviews to miss the spoilers. Your group sounds like a fun mix. We have a Dwarf Fighter, Human Cleric, Tiefling...

If it helps any, I just made a 12th level sorcerer. Threw a staff implement in one hand and a dagger in the other. I also tried training wands and having a wand and staff combo. DIC does not add extra bonuses for having a non-magical implement in your offhand, but if it was magical it would...

I was stuck in a slow moving 3.5 game once, in a year and a half of meeting weekly we weren't even level 3. I had tried to talk people into starting at 5 or even 3, but one guy claimed that if we didn't start at first, we would never know our characters. I questioned how I can know a make...

I'm glad if things have been improving. I did clarify my statement w/a definition and then even added that the lower quality is where most people seem to rate. I never claimed a universal agreement and fully realize that ENWorld is a pretty skewed litmus test anyway. I don't normally run...

Personally I'm kind of surprised we don't know a bit more about what is coming in the book. We used to see more preview articles about upcoming products. While I expect to see some Eladrin and Gnome focused crunch, I could also see more support for some of the primal classes like Wardens and...

There is no way to get to step 14 with this flowchart. 15 and 16 can infinitely loop unless you add a clause about if you have been at this step once already, instead move on to step 17. Generally tho it's amusing. Appears you have edited the flowchart to remove the loop and to allow 14 to be...

My first character in Basic D&D 24 years ago was a magic user. Over the years I was usually in groups where people didn't want to mess w/all those spells. Occasionally someone else would want to play a wizard and I would run a thief or very rarely more of a sword and board type. I'm actually...

From reading many, many threads here at ENWorld, it seems like a large chunk of the people who dislike 4E won't be happy until things are rolled back to 3.5. That just is not going to happen. Are there things 4E could simplify? Certainly. Condition tracking could be much simplified I think...

In OWoD, it wasn't until much later that there were really rules for playing normal mortals. In NWoD, unless you buy the various other books, designing the core mortal is all that is covered in the main WoD book. Then you pick up Vamp or Werewolf or Changeling or Mage and make them something...

Well if you are using the NWoD as your core system you're safe as it's under 230 pages, but if you add Vamp, Werewolf, mage or Changeling to the mix, you're well past the 300 page mark. WW went from OWoD's general system of aim for 7, use these to change difficulty to having more +/- lists than...

I'm a big fan of both CoC and OWoD. NWoD can go bite me. I've played OWoD where we were focusing on a game about our humanities and you saw people's characters losing control and the regret they experienced at the things they had done. There were some pretty horrible things going on and it...

I started playing in 87 and always wondered about the whole large gap between the 3 core books. When WotC released 3rd Ed, I thought it was dumb that they were spacing things out for the releases. 4th Ed releasing all the books on the same day made so much more sense to me. I seem to recall...

I walked thru their booth at 4PM on the Sunday of GenCon and came VERY close to buying the book. I'd been seeing stuff online and I'm a huge Tolkien fan, but I ended up passing at the last minute cuz I know the odds are I'll never get to play it and it will just sit around being pretty heh...

When the new version of a system I have played before changes nearly everything about the game, and most of the changes don't appear to have added anything beneficial. New World of Darkness, I'm looking at you. Changing the name of one aspect of a character to a different name is alright if...

Yes, that is roughly 100 years after the Cataclysm and fits in that era I suggested would be perfect for the standard 4E PoL setting. As far as re-reading the books goes, you can tell that Chronicles is their first series. Legends is better written and quite obviously so. The story is still...

If Weis and Hickman are going to write more books in Dragonlance, what era would that be in? Like many, I'm a sucker for a pod Raistlin book and I enjoyed Dragons of the Hourglass Mage. There were a couple of years between when the War ended and when he went back in time, leaves some good...

Ofcourse, 4E Halflings already beat up Kender and took their stuff :) I know they don't taunt and aren't delusional kleptos, but the 4E halfling sure looks like a kender and are not the settling down type. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see new life breathed into Dragonlance. I was really...

Not to mention the entire history of Linux heh

GNS doesn't say it, you implied it in your comments, but you have since said we misunderstood what you said, so whatever. Saying things like "What actually motivates your despite of GNS? Do you just dislike understanding what you are doing? Do you just regard understanding of what you do as a...
