The animavideogamization of D&D may drive me back to 1st edition. Or maybe I'll try warhammer (I've heard good things.) I don't really object to D&D becoming more anime because I hate anime. It's just the sameness of it that bothers me. Anime is everywhere these days. All forms of entertainment...

This is exactly what's happened to me in the last 6 months.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. I actually like a few of the mechanical changes for 4.0 I've heard about. But the 3 card monty approach they have to marketing the game just doesn't sit well with me at all.

Do Vampire kids still exist though? I thought they disappeared in the 90s, along with grunge music and that horrible "talk to the hand" expression. I honestly wasn't aware that there were enough of them left to constitute a demographic. Well,I guess that's what I get for basing my opinions offa...

Yes, let's look at Vampire: the game. It's sold a fraction of what D&D has. Why should D&D try to emulate a less successful and less popular RPG?

Yeah, Tieflings will never be cool. They just try way too hard. From the clothes to the weapons to the big floppy tails, it all just smacks of effort. I just picture a typical Tiefling walking into a D&D village with their "cool" horns and "cool" leather trenchcoats tryig to look all hard, as...

Tiefling will become the race du jour of angsty emo players, finally knocking dual wielding drow rangers out of the top spot . As a result, my players will ruthlessly murder all Tiefling NPCs on sight.

A hobbit by any other name is still a hobbit. Even if you shave his feet.

It's not really a big deal. If 4.0's full of stupid names that I can't say with a straight face I'll just stick with 3.5. No big deal at all.

Entombed with the Pharoahs by Micheal Kortes. Best single Paizo module to date. I actually felt smarter after running that adventure. Highly recommend it.

They look dumb to me. I'm not gonna waste my time trying to include them if I run 4.0. Why strain myself trying to fit a square peg inna round hole when I can't stand the square peg in the first place?

I can't believe how fast they're gonna start the splatbook stampede. 4.0 is going to be a much simpler and streamlined game to play. For about 2 months. Then it's gonna get just as bogged down in clutter and extra rules as 3.5. Then it's gonna be time for a new edition . Wash, rinse, repeat.

Ick. If I ever end up DMing 4.0 I'll just use my better judgement instead of the DMG. It just seems full of stuff experienced DMs don't really need. Sounds good for someone who's never DMed before. But that ain't me. Good thing they're working on PHB2 already though. Nothing "streamlines and...

Those big floppy Snuffalupagiss tails make Tieflings look like chumps.

No way man. Explaining what you just said just proves how trill you really are. And by "trill", I mean really sick. And by "sick" I mean really fresh. Kids still say "fresh" right? Yep, the art in 4E is going to be "stupid fresh" kids. Go buy 4E.

Another apprehensive DM here.

I'm concerned about the elimination of low level play in the new edition. My players and I like low levels. They're simple and fun.

I hate point buy personally. But I let my players have a choice when it comes to stat generation. They can either roll 5d6 for stats, or take a 25 pt. buy. No one ever takes the point buy. Thus my diabolical plan insures that players always roll for stats. The way the gods intended it.:)

Damn. Those probably are the best names 4.0's got so far. And that's not a good thing from my perspective, since both those names are fair at best.

I think "if Paizo released it with the same quality as WOTC's standards" is a funny sounding option. If Paizo's standards dropped to WOTC's level, I'd stop buying products from Paizo. Paizo's campaign setting is creative and wierd. WOTC's campaign settings just seem more like corporate...
