I actually get a lot of amusement out of D&D fans 1) making this claim, 2) deriding 4e as a world-sim failure, and 3) holding up any particular edition as more simmy than the others. It's like hearing a boy scout brag about his go-cart's amazing speed to his boy scout pals. During the Indy 500...

Wait, what exactly do you think that Quickleaf and I are advocating? I'm getting a strong sense that we're talking past each other, so I'm just going to lay out how I'm envisioning a good flexible PS intro adventure: Chargen allows for both planar and prime characters. Bennies for being faction...

What I wouldn't give for more DiTerlizzi artwork in D&D...

If we weren't talking about PS (or Spelljammer), I'd agree with you 100%. If we were talking about 'real world people stumble through a portal into Sigil,' I'd agree with you 100%. But I think that Planescape's position as a bridge between infinite worlds is a great feature, and so I see no...

Thanks for the info! It seems that Shemeska and Wolfskin are also Clueless about 4e. :erm:

Well said! This matches my experiences as well. Would give you xp, but can't!

Holy cow, I had no idea! I guess that's what I get for homebrewing instead of reading the implied setting. :p Do you happen to know which 4e book ends the BW? Anyhow, I like the Blood War too, though I never understood the angst it can generate either way. I remember being rather stupefied the...

She does appear in a PS adventure or two -- she annihilates some kind of fiend at the end of Harbinger House, in typical 'the PCs are just here to watch' fashion. And then of course there's The Module Which Shall Not Be Named. (Except that I already did.) That said... It sounds like Tovec has...

Is there a ceasefire I'm not aware of? :confused:

Also on the topic of Belief = Power, Quickleaf introduced me to the idea of Belief Points, which I love!

I'd like to see the factions officially reinstated in Sigil. In my homebrew Sigil, I can just ignore Faction War of course, but it'd be nice for a new generation of gamers to discover everything that makes PS great! Apparently TSR had plans for a follow-up module which would have done just...

If the question is "better/worse than all other editions" or "better/worse than my favorite edition," I'll have no trouble answering this question.

Yes, lets. 5e isn't supporting my play style either, but there's no need to take it personal-like, or to envision some grand scheme to change the hobby forever.

True enough. *shakes fist at the heavens* Oh, right! How could I forget the stink over the betrayal that is melee-only fighters?

Correct to the first, wrong on the second. 4e items, aside from the enhancement bonuses they grant, aren't necessary at all. Fans have mixed feelings about this. The DMG2's inherent bonus variant is everything that a low-wealth D&D variant should be; it provides a simple solution to a common...

*tear* :.-( And I thought that nobody knew how I feel! :D

Is he perchance from Florida? Does he possibly have long flowing locks of golden hair? Might this guy have written several pop rock songs? Because I think that only one man is that Petty. :lol:

My sympathies to everyone for whom D&D is your second (or third, or fourth) best friend! I gamed with such a guy once, and he ran his favorite scifi rpg for us when his turn to GM came up, but when we ran our D&D campaigns...yeah, I could tell he was in the group because fans of his game are so...

My own personal history of messing with the game rules matches your perception, but the sense I get from others is that I'm very atypical. In my naivety as a young 2e gamer, I assumed that there was a good reason for each and every rule, despite how hair-brained 2e is in retrospect. It seems...

Ooh, don't forget "I won't buy 5e because no OGL and because OGL is good for fans there's no possible way OGL is bad for WotC so no OGL means no 5e for me!" Welcome to ENworld! :p This is actually a great reason! I'll download the free stuff when I someday meet a DM who wants to run 5e. :)
