The difference is forming the words incorrectly, but within the normal range of “incorrectness” (learning), and not being able to form the sounds at all, or outside the normal range of incorrectness (physically prevented because of a relatively very minor nervous system miswiring). Examples...

Thanks for the response. Different cause, but there may be similarity in the learning to speak later than normal. One word that most here should recognize: hippogriff. I’ve heard mention of this too. We may look into it as an option. Thanks for the response and info. It looks like my 2-year-old...

This board has proven to be a treasure trove of knowledge on many varied subjects, so I’d like to tap the general knowledge here for something. Do you know anyone with, or anything about Developmental Apraxia of Speech? I’m not looking for Web links – I have Googled and more on the Web...

I do notice, though, in those logos, the D&D3 is hardest to read. Quasqueton [3,000 -- I'm done.]

I could give up Challenge Ratings anytime I want. I just don't want to. Quasqueton

Oh, . . . well. . . ah, I left it out because AD&D2.5 was wrongbadfun! OBAD&D123 is the one true game, all others are. . . something wrong. Quasqueton

What's the 2.5 logo? I didn't know it changed in the AD&D2 era. Quasqueton

A collage of beauty. Quasqueton

Deriding balance in a game system is like deriding safety in an automobile, or deriding minimal side effects in a medication, or deriding pleasant taste in a drink. Quasqueton

Wonder Woman will french kiss the next person who mentions 3rd Edition. I'm grateful that D&D3 revived my dog from a gunshot wound. :-) Quasqueton

You should report the OP to the moderators. I did. The discussion of balance is acceptable fodder for this forum, but the reference to older editions as inferior is an Edition Insult that should be edited out. Quasqueton

Perhaps it is not really a rejection of balance in the RPG, but rather a rejection of the RPG, blamed on balance [a core design philosophy of that RPG]. Quasqueton

If you are going to reply like that (I have no problem with it), note that I actually asked 7 questions -- you only gave 5 answers. Quasqueton

Are all the players in your group willing to DM? Does everyone take a turn, at some time? Has a Player been banned from DMing in your group? Are Players who never DM moochers? :-) Are DMs who never let others DM powermongers? :-) Does DMing make one a better Player? Does playing a PC make...

"Hey, buddy. I just bought this Eberron campaign setting, and it seems really interesting. With your DM skills, I bet it would be ultra cool. Would you be willing to try DMing a few game sessions in Eberron? I'll buy you the book for your own. I'll help you however I can." Quasqueton

In my experience, when people want to kip up, swing from a chandelier, jump up on a table, etc., they don’t like to hear, “Roll for it.” They want to *do* it. I’ve had Players argue with me over “Roll for it,” in much the same way as: I’ve seen Players with +20 modifier spend time arguing over...

Is more [than 4] players in a game [at the same time] a sign or badge of a good game? In this forum, it seems that some folks throw out “I had 12 players in my game” as if it is a feather in their cap. Especially with regard to talking about older editions of D&D – it seems that the paradigm of...

I'll forward you some emails I've gotten lately. What's your email address? Are you also interested in regrowing hair? :-) Quasqueton

How common were wishes available and used in AD&D1? I never saw a single wish available or used in my AD&D1 experience. But I get the impression they were pretty common. Quasqueton

How “complete” do you prefer your role playing game systems? Do you like coming up with rules on your own, or do you want the game system to already have it all figured out for you? For this poll, assume that the written rules are either easy to remember or easy to find (or both); they are...
