If I'm going to play or run anything 3.5 related it would have to be Arcana Evolved/Ptolus. No interest in 3.x otherwise anymore.

I think I have to vote 4E for all the previously mentioned reasons. Less prep work, streamlined some of the things that don't matter so much, simplified a lot of the rolls, etc. My friends and I would frequently give descriptions of our actions and how we would like things to go, but we get to...

Yeah first ed Mage was pretty amazing. 2nd Ed was basically clarifying a lot of the rules and a slight scaling back to Forces 5 (too many black holes generated probably heh) mostly. I always felt they didn't provide enough example rotes and then MtA went and made more rotes than there were...

Glad to see that if they come up with good reasons to keep them around that you won't still be against it. I had to wonder there for a bit KM :) I could see someone not being pure evil and being a Templar. They could be seeking revenge and on the inside is the best route for them. They may...

And this is true, but if they are able to look at the things you don't think should be in there and find good uses for them that enhance the setting in a positive way, they would be stupid to rule them out just b/c they didn't originate in 2E DS.

The official line when PF was first announced was that backwards compatibility was very important. Then they released the alpha and I and several others pointed out on their boards that there was some ratehr large power creep. We proceeded to be flamed and shouted down and the complete lack of...

I have the original Kult and that game was pretty out there. In college back in 96 I remember getting to try SLA Industries for the first time. My friend that ran it did a great job. It's been awhile since I had a real moment of "WOAH" tho. I think the last would be Arcana...

No b/c they aren't continuing support on all of them. In 2E you had FR, Spelljammer, Planescape, DL, Red Steel, Ravenloft, etc etc and products coming out on a regular basis for all of them. If you only have 5 products for a line and then consider it complete, you don't have the ongoing...

From the 4E PHB: "Power Source: Divine. You are a divine warrior, a crusader and protector of your faith." Paladins are champions of a particular belief and thus can be found as good, neutral or evil. They made Paladins more like the Champion in Monte's Arcana Unearthed/Evolved, which was an...

I believe the correct response for the new cover art is "SCHWING!!" Very exciting news. Dark Sun fan from way back. I think I have most of the books leading up to the revised box set, which I thought was awful. I even managed a couple of the rarity books like Will and the Way :) Quoting...

Thanks a bunch Scott. Just which month everything was released is fine :)

Which is why I figured someone has already done that previously and collected it on the web. I'm lazy :) Wikipedia does not have this info, I checked there first.

My google fu is weak tonite and I'm just really tired or else there is no website out there that has a full listing of all the 3.x era releases from WotC by release date.

I seem to recall the standard assumed D&D group of 2E being a DM and 5 players as well. That way you could have one of each of the 4 core classes and still mix in a bard or paladin or whatever else. My 2E PHB is in my daughter's room in a box, so I'm not about to risk waking her up to verify...

I'm sorry, but there are a great chunk of companies out there that if you call them to ask about a rumored new product (or whatever), you will hear the token "Microsoft/Apple/etc does not comment on rumors". If you are releasing a new edition in 3 years, do you really go ahead and tell people...

Am I weird that I saw this thread and imagined the Gnome from the Gnome vs Tiefling cartoon being in the book? :)

Ok, no one probably cares, but I was at Half Price books earlier this week and found the 2nd Ed Midnight book for $8. Had to wait to get more than that until payday this weekend, but I also picked up the Fury and Shadow box set for $8, and the Hand of Shadow, City of Shadow, Destiny and Shadow...

You could do something like Brain Age does for sudoku, tap the box and the box blows up bigger. I think it would be readable w/no real problem and the top screen could house the more frequently needed information.

There are at least 2 workable versions of each class. One version of the Paladin is Str focused, the other is Cha focused. I've had a Cha focused Paladin in our game who works just fine in the defender role. There is no one true way to play anything in D&D, no matter how much you try and...

What about if they gave an overview of just the heroic portion? Most people are probably going to run the AP from the beginning in a new game (it is still pretty early in 4Es lifespan after all), so it would make sense to just provide the heroic portion and entice people. Maybe a month prior...
