My 2 cents: Wizards in 4e are full of creativity. The cantrips alone give our wizard in the party tons of creative things to do. I think they successfully tonned down the 3.x wizard's god llike answer to everything while keeping the appeal it has to smart players. With cantrips, cool...

I suggest you try playing 4e with your group and see what happens. The reason why is that when playing 4e it teaches the players to DM it. I have friend who never really got into roleplaying until this new edition. Then after a few sessions he took a whack at Dming and did awesome with it. 4e...

I think D&D 4e is deadlier and agree with the posts above that think so, I like to add the following to: 1) The combat involves much more movement and such a need for greater team tactics. Characters can do more than their 3.x counterparts, even at low levels, and monsters are easier for the DM...

For me it was the following things: 1) Easy to learn, lots of depth and quick and fun to DM 2) Feels like the good old days of D&D (2nd and 1st edition) 3) Streamlined rules that encourage roleplaying more than any previous version of D&D has and that does not in any way resemble WOW or other...

I edited my post for grammar and clarity. I wrote it after our game and it was late :P so a couple of minor errors in there. Still loving 4e. We are playing again tonight :)

D was looking to win and then was invalidated. We are reviewing the other entrees and seeing if we can salvage things and that nothing else was missed. Level 20 characters are pretty complicated and easy to miss details. I will give an update when we figure out what is the best way to salvage...

What specifically about epic tier looks wonky to everyone?

I liked how noticeable the old ones were. They were to big and a bit to vibrant, but the new ones are too washed out looking and the font at the bottom is weak. I say go for a slightly brighter color that still fads from color to black like teh new ones do, and then use a bolder font for the...

I agree that sunrods are mood breaking. Personally, I think it is okay that they exist but they should be more expensive and created through magical rituals that make them rare for heroic level, uncommon for paragons and common for epic level. I like the idea of epic level heroes needing torches...

Tonight our party moved down to the second level of Shadowfell Keep, the three hobgoblin rooms (guardroom, barracks and warchief's war room). The party had the pass phrase wrong, which alerted the hobgoblins and sent one of the gaurds running to warn the warchief. Then the two soldiers at the...

We've gotten our main group's characters to level 5 now with over 70 hours of 4e play experience (about 12 -14 sessions or so doing 2 per week). One of my players in that group was so inspired after 20 hours of play that he is now running his own game session every other week. He had never DM'ed...

Edition Wars issues aside, posts where people said "we looked at the books and hated it", I would like to know what people think of 4e after they actually play it verses assuming a negative experience based on judging the game by the look of it. Once someone has played the game their opinion of...

Now that the GSL has been in our hands for over a week and a half, I assume that WOTC has recieved alot of questions and concerns, while the 3rd party publishers are going over it with their lawyers and determining what their plan is? Can WOTC or any of the 3rd party publishers address any of...

I think the OP is partially right. Brand loyalty is what is getting 4e noticed and talked about. But, I don't think it is just the brand loyalty that is making people except it. The current edition is evolved from the previous versions of the game. In each edition, they are streamlining rules...

Now I am not a lawyer, nor am I condoning someone do this. From my understanding, techincally by the wording in the OGL, you can make something that is a 4e clone but you could not do the following: 1) Use the D20 Trademark Liscense (which is being discontinued). 2) Reference compatiblity with...

Thank you for popping in here and giving a heads up that your listening to concerns.

Scott is the public liason for WOTC though. He would be the one who can say whatever he is told he can say.

If you can get to Salem, Or we would welcome you at our store: Borderlands Games 546 High St NE Salem, Or 97301 503 485 2554

Scott, So far my impression of the GSL is that it lacks the following: 1) Safe harbor clause: It needs something to ensure a publisher that is fullfilling all of the stipulations of the current GSL that they do not have to worry about WOTC taking their ability to use the GSL away. If a...
