Buh? I seem to recall playing any number of NES games in the 80's that used this concept. Again, I don't see this as being an MMORPG concept. I've seen any number of tv shows where the wizards throw a lot of energy blasts around all the time, and I don't remember any of them talking about...

This is a criticism I really have never gotten. All the changes I've seen have comments on what the designers have identified as a problem and why they want to change it. You may not agree on what they identify as a problem, but I have yet to see the reason given as "this just needed to be...

If I understand your suggestion, then you mean use the terminology to define skill limits? Like "jumping over a 5 foot gap is a routine (10) check, climbing up 10 feet is an easy (15) check" ? Generally, I think people are going to want specific limits as defined by the skill being referenced...

Awesome straw man there. Avatar has good character design, fluid animation, and a consistent style. The Dragonlance trailer looked rushed, choppy, and had that really disconcerting obvious 3d-animation mixed with more traditional looking animation that I hate. It has nothing to do with cloaks or...

Wil Wheaton posted on his blog a while back that he had been in a rejected pilot for Comedy Central for "Celebrity D&D." Wizards needs to get on that. Also, anyone know if the Mohawk is going to be a core class in 4e?

I'm in. Already running my last 3.5 game which had a stated lifespan of "until 4e comes out." ...Then the question will be, will I have to run it, or will I get to play it?

My current campaign has both a Cleric of Obad-Hai and a Druid. I like the idea of Druid being about Wildshaping, and hope that the traditional Druid spells get moved to Cleric. Actually I hope that there are a bunch of different options for Clerics to make each Cleric of a different god feel...

Good job generalizing game designers everywhere. Elegant, rules-light, fast-moving systems are much harder to create than you think, and need just as much (if not more) playtesting. You also seem to imply that the designers at WotC have oodles of time that they're trying to pad out by... adding...

Thanks, I'll check those out. I especially have to find "Quoth the Raven", since I'm running the game in Baltimore. Pathfinder, starting with issue 2, may be a contender as well.

Hello all, Friends of mine have asked me to run a mini-campaign over the upcoming holidays. Only trouble is, I'm already running a campaign for another group. So my solution was to run some pre-packaged adventures. I have a few, but they don't really fit my requirements. I'm looking for some...

Like everyone else chiming in, my experience is anecdotal... But I'm 25, grew up in science fiction and fantasy fandom with dad writing it and exposing me to the classics. I very briefly played WoW and used to love anime. I like what I've seen so far of 4e. I'm currently gaming with a group...

I do wish there were a sub-section of the forum devoted just to speculation. Those of us who are following the 4e development and reveals would probably appreciate a little corner to discuss the possibilities and not have it derailed by whether someone is buying it or not or if someone likes it...

Whew, for a minute there, I was worried that we'd still have Hide/Move Silently and Listen/Spot.

I thought Half-Elves were in due to reference to their "inspiring presence" ability.

Buying immediately- my current group has new players, and there are plenty of rules that make me cringe when I have to teach them. If those are fixed, it's already ahead.

Having new players in my current 3.5 game, and realizing just how much simpler 4e is going to be, thumbs up all the way.

I run into more corporate firewalls that block .zip files than .pdf files. The Kinko's network is like this. I agree with the OP. When I download, I hate having a useless "widow" file that I have to remember to delete afterwards.

But you know, the more people that answer and break their NDAs, the more invitations there are for the rest of us!

Yes, it's so bad, it made you read this thread against your own will. Since we're ruining other people's fun, mind if I come over and kick a puppy?

Chuck Norris once provoked an attack of opportunity. That's why it's not back in 4e.
