Well, in the grey box, they specifically declared certain areas to be undeveloped, but I think this has been left by the wayside. Maybe not though, I haven't really looked through the 4e book or even the 3e one. But anyway, the best way to proceed would be to ask your players for their input...

And what? We can't find disagreement with things written in the books because it's all optional? In the case of Alignment, that's been one of the things people have found disagreement with, particularly in regards its use as a straitjacket. And of course, even though it's all subject to...

Which comes at a price of being potentially less interesting. It's a balance between "familiar, but different" and "totally changed" which can bite you, or help you, depending on how you spice up the soup so to speak. And of course, whoever you're serving it to.

All the grey box fans rejoice and want to play in my game. What happens from there, depends on them.

No Time of Troubles.

Perhaps you don't mean it that way, but it does remind me of those situations. Did you miss that? Should I have emphasized it more? Lol, knowing some Star Wars people as I do, they would be less fine than you might think. Others, of course, just say "Lightsabers? WAHOO!!!" There's a...

No GM can conceivably mess up SW more than George Lucas has already done. Really, the guy ret-conned his own fricking movies!

Well, I do feel you were coming on a little too strong with your "missing out" line, and I consider that to be akin to the things being forced upon me I've experienced in my life. Perhaps you don't mean it that way, but it does remind me of those situations. Sell your game on its own merits...

That may be a problem, but that's the reality of dealing with human beings, some of them may not agree with your changes. Fortunately, it's not mandatory that everybody enjoy playing in your games, nor do you have to enjoy having everybody in your games. You can be selective. Or they could...

Using it as a short-hand descriptor is relatively fine, it's the use as a yoke (as it was in prior editions) that gets on people's nerves.

Well, working with limitations, even an arbitrary self-chosen one is often hard like that. And sometimes that's the interesting part. It's interesting to see what people do pick. Me, I'd have never mentioned plants, for example...

Encumbrance and rationing only serve a limiting role to the players, not to the DM. That's why.

I say have fun, enjoy yourself. Hope you have a good adventure.

Well, it did just happen on....Thursday night, so it's possible nobody has been on to respond to you. Or maybe it's totally unrelated and something else is going on. Dunno, but it is a holiday weekend. Hopefully you'll have better luck tomorrow.

Didn't seem particular rabid to me.

Do whatever you like I say. It's all good.

One of the major online payment services had an outage this week, a fire in their datacenter. I don't know if Wizards uses them, but it's possible that your problem is related to that.

Why not? Is there a shortage of human hearts???

I liked Maztica and Halruaa. Boy did I get screwed in 4e... ;)

The number of times I've heard somebody describe an event, and it not match my recollection of it, or I've heard somebody recount somebody else's description and it not match...is quite high. I simply do not trust people's accounts, even when it's their own, it's way too easy for...
