I think the names of the things in the game are very important. If I can't say the names of manuevers and spells without cringing at how corny they are, i'm not gonna be able to play the game. If they change the name of the fighter to "Puffy Fairy Princess", I don't care how sound the mechanics...

Don't care much either way. Wasn't impressed or outraged.

True that. Back in the day, my group played with some folks using 1E PHBs and some using 2E PHBs. There was never a problem with rules issues concerning that.

Wow. I was being humorous. Sorry if you failed sarcasm. Maybe we could all learn a thing or 2 about using sarcasm to get your point across in a written medium.

I've actually banned that spell at my table because I felt like such a tool saying that name out loud. Same thing with "Saphire Nightmare Blade." My general rule is if I can't say it out loud without laughing or making a face, then it's banned.

Finally! Something we can agree on!

No I didn't. Are you trying to make a joke here? If so, maybe you should explain it. Nothing makes a joke funnier than when you have to explain it. (see, that's a joke right there. What I just did was makea joke about how I didn't get your joke. And this explanation just makes it even funnier...

Leinil Yu!

Yeah, I thought you'd appreciate that.:)

They fit My Sword and Sorcery fantasy game. And if you can't see that, you're just a grognard who's stuck in the past. Contemporize man! The future's not such a scary place! :P

One reason among many old chap. One reason among many.

. I hope some of the naming impaired 4.0 designers end up reading this thread. Knockdown, Curb stomp,Choke, and Beatdown are all acceptable names for manuevers.

Hey Look 4E stats. Those don't look that scary. At least there's all 6 stats. Str Dex Wis Int Cha Con. Looks promising.

No . I recognize sarcasm. I actually was pointing out that you were being sarcastic. You were being very funny and sarcastic at the expense of those who disagree with you. I get sarcasm. Sometimes I even do it myself. Watch. "There totally isn't a stickied thread by the moderators asking...

Clearly. Mockery is the only repsonse for those foolish enough not to accept the new "Dragon Magazine" into their hearts. How dare they expect quality? Grognards.

No problem. I know how the "V-word" sets you people off.:P

No the OP is just mocking people that don't like the article. It was so clever and subtle that you might have missed it.

Cary Nord!

Done and done. Actually that handy lil motto right there sums up my feeling on the DI in general pretty nicely.

Honestly, whether you get knocked down by a mace, or knocked down by a sword, the end results the same. If they 4 different manuevers that knock people down, just call em all knockdown. My players are smart enough to remember what weapons they're using. They don't need to call one manuever...
