Having seen everything previewed thus far on the halfling, it does still get a 'meh' of uninterest from me (and all my group so far)... This is mostly because they're halflings... Officially the least popular character choice for any of my last three groups. One person, one single person...

Now that right there is some fine and logical decision making!

I really would be happy never to see prestige classes again. What started out as a small 'fill odd niche' rule in the 3.5 DMG soon became the bane of my life as every supplement was packed with the damn things. I MUCH prefer the paragon path concept. Even if it is a large leap in...

It does amuse doesn't it... Saying being one of the thunder twin dwarves or something, and all the shoter-lived races just thinking you're a bit 'eccentric' when you go on about the old gods, weird magic and all those magical treasures you had in your adventuring days.

I've already seen a lot of major negative response to the changes on rpg.net (most seem to be concerned with the name of one minor background character... But rpg.net is weird like that) and undoubtably a lot more is to follow once the real setting loyal fans see what has been done to their...

I think we're going to be straight into 4th Edition. From the get-go our main 'decision making membership' was interested. Everyone has played and enjoyed 3rd Edition for years now, but the holes were beginning to show and disagreements over which books (or bits of books) we wanted in our...

Nope, I don't care for 'em much either. It is why I'm keener on Dragonborn and Tieflings having an ancestry of non-human heritage, but not all being crossbred. Personally, I can do without the half-breeds, particularly the half-elf who has just never seemed to be very interesting to me...

Some of those points are good ones. But... Who wants to gather 4-6 players for a weekly session and then say 'you all go fishing'? Once as a novelty of downtime and rp maybe... More than that? Forget it. Most (not all) groups have a hard time scheduling to get together and will want to do...

I've always liked our 3.5 house rule (not my creation, but one I support) whereby on a critical threat, you can opt not to deal the extra damage, but deal normal damage and go for one of the combat options (trip, sunder, grapple, etc) undeclared. It got around the "you'll only do these things...

Obviously assuming an appropriate cosmology or rationale, I could see a 'living & dead' campaign working. But not with swathes of ghostly PCs/NPCs or ones with many bizarre powers, adjustments, level-based templates, etc, etc. Deadlands, back in the day, had the simplest approached. The...

I think that WotC should develop a full setting based upon the material of the 4th Edition PHB, DMG and MM in the same way as TSR did with the Basic, Expert, etc. boxed sets. There are (so it seems) putting in some fluff such as the fallen empires of the dragonborn and tieflings, so why not go...

I think it's a great idea personally. The half-orc has limped around as a core race for a bit now, but only caught on with a small portion of the players... And I kinda dig a non-level-adjusted (as I assume it will be) Tiefling, perhaps Aasamir too? I'll be interested to see the take on a...

Monk at a guess. I've never liked it mechanically or thematically, so I naturally assume it'll take the fall... Besides, it'll likely just become a fighter who specializes in unarmed combat. Bards can probably just hide inside rogues or sorcerers too.

I'm actually more or less a strictly WotC 'only' player and DM. Mostly for reference and (vague!) balance. When I go to a group, or a group comes to me, I don't want them pulling out some damned odd D20 supplement that I've never heard of, full of ridiculous crap that they INSIST on...
