We just finished up a campaign where we ran through the 4e published series of modules. It was a lot of fun but the ending was very dissatisfying. The PCs accidentally killed the Raven Queen and then through some good early dice rolling they never looked like losing against Orcus and friends...

Exiled 'Samurai' from 4e POL-themed 'Rokugan' battle Far Realm conspiracy in Freeport 100 years after pyrrhic victory in previous campaign (4e H-P-E module series). I know. I'm ripping off far too many sources for only ten words.

What problem? If NPC X does y amount of damage on a hit does it really matter how y was arrived at? Do your PCs audit your NPCs' stat blocks? The only problem is between your ears - your NPCs have to follow the rules even though you're the only person who'll ever notice. Let it go mate. D&D...

Why does that name ring a bell...? Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahasia Oh my God YES! I owned this but never ran it. Amazing read. How did it play out for you?

Wow, they should really attract the top applicants then shouldn't they? Just like WotC should only attract employees who are prepared for the possibility of a Christmas time layoff.

No more insulting than yelling TROLL!!!! at anybody who says something you don't like eh? Don't worry mate, I know exactly where the Report button is.

True. Want to make a new type of goblin to fill a certain role/throw something new at jaded goblin-hunters? Follow the NPC creation rules (DMG pp. 186-188) and make sure you add these racial powers (DMG pp. 276-279) and it'll still fit feel like a goblin to your PCs. NPCs are balanced against...

Ridiculous isn't it? I don't think people realise that these "CORPORATIONS" are the only entities that will provide for us in our retirements, now that pensions are a thing of the past. I mean, even just staying viable isn't enough. If the value of a company doesn't grow faster than inflation...

I know you can read. My justification came after that comment. While I don't think anybody really hates 3e (maybe a few twisted individuals), there is clearly a lot of animosity toward those 3e fans that happen to hate 4e.

OMG how could I forget that one!? Actually probably because I never got the chance to run it. But Red Hand of Doom certainly looked like it would be a blast.

You've made a comment about 4e fans: And left it to stand on its own as though it applies to one group of fans but not the other. Do you really think 3e fans aren't also "obviously anxious about the game's popularity"? You clearly are given your focus on it in this thread. Likewise, it seems...

The ability itself is an abstraction. Not having it doesn't make the character (PC or NPC) any less of a minotaur.

Are you suggesting 4e fans are in general worse people than 3e fans? Or do you think it's more likely that one or more 4e fans are just fed up with continued holier-than-thou condescension from the more vocal 3e fans? I wasn't surprised at the hate toward 4e but I was rather surprised at the...

True. My point is, as a 4e fan who still has fond memories of 3e, it's disingenuous of anybody (in this case it seems to be 3e fans feeling vindicated in acting like douchebags due to polls showing disproportional 4e hate) to say that their edition and fans are demonstrably better than the...

Are you describing 3e diehards who are outraged that so many people are happy that 3e has been replaced? We can play this game all day. Diehard losers are diehard losers no matter what edition they hate.

How many people does it take to rig an online poll? One weak minded individual who cares about the opinions of a bunch of vocal haters means absolutely nothing.

You'll find gamist players don't take it so seriously. They just want to have a laugh and engage in some rough banter. Classic flamewar mentality. When has a poll ever been less than optimistic about 4e? They get all the attention and all the press. That's the only stat that matters. People...

As a 4e fan I'm inclined to agree with you. I'd say though that the creativity advantage of 3e lies in its support to world-building. With 3e, a lone DM at home (in his mum's basement, his own basement, or no basement at all) can while away more hours working on his setting. I used to do the...

lol I bet if we ran a poll you'd find that the majority of this board are heavily pro-simulationist and pro-deep immersion RP. Most if not all other D&D-themed messageboards have a far more gamist bent. ENWorld seems to be the last refuge of the sensitive types, which may be either the cause...

We can and do. Unfortunately the APs set in Golarion are so well tied to the setting that I find they require re-writing rather than just conversion. The Greyhawk ones (SC, AoW, ST) go pretty well though. Paizo truly has the best fluff. I've been tempted to just run my game in their setting...
