I understand he got the whole ball rolling, but I don't know why Gygax's opinion on the definition of hit points mean anything in 2015, the rules are VERY VERY different now they don't have to have the same definition. Me, I prefer for the game to feel like an action movie. So HP as...

roll20 can be a limited Campaign manager, but not where near what you get out of Obsidian Portal

Never found myself reformatting 4e, and I admit that my style is not perfect for everyone it's just an opinion, but surely they didn't need to hide the saves and damage in the body text no matter what format they choose

Admittedly it's been quite a while since I've used either one but my memory of the perception at the time was that Maptools fog of war was a free feature, and roll 20 macros couldn't do as much as maptools, like modifying hp automatically and the such.

So I spent a lot of time thinking about this thread and and I totally get what you were doing with describing the spell slots as 4e powers, but I think you did a disservice by not reformatting the spells themselves. Some of the 5e spells are overly hard to read due to damage and saves being...

I loved me some Alternity, feel like it really got the shaft for d20 StarWars.

Wow, I find roll20 to be missing featues from MapTools, but roll20 is easier for my players to install so it's what we go with.

I've been here off and on since Eric ran the place, and the edition wars was between 2e and 3.0.... and I constantly feel like an outsider.

Actually that'd be a great name for something like that, but I'd want to see completely different classes and races, like you could play with PHB or AH, like monte cook's arcana unearthed, that would be cool.

I totally get you on 5e having less complexity and fiddly bits, but wow if you're looking for simplisicy there are a lot better games than any version of D&D for it. Have you seen Fate?

After running a 2 year playtest with couple hundred thousand people and talking over and over about how much they learned that most dnd fans opinions do not match up with forums, I doubt they'd base they're plans on forum reactions.

That would be fine if even a single one of my complains with HotDQ had anything to do with rules.

Oh yeah already told Morrus, I'll subscribe if he can put 5e material in it.

Well puts me in a real spot. I like splat books, I like having new content. I miss Dragon Magazine BADLY!!!!! I agree with slowing down but this is crazy slow, way too slow for my tastes. I want an active updating game, and pathfinder doesn't capture me.

I can't say how they can said lots of books where bad for 3e and 4e when both sold very very well and really restored the game after the doldrums of being almost forgotten in the 2e era.

I think you have it backwards, 5e doesn't have surprise rounds It has the surprised condition, if you are surprised you can't act in the first round of combat. So PC's would be aware of the fact there are badguys, those no PC would be surprised, and all would act in first round. EDIT...

Yeah.... there's this strange line I find myself in, where I can have that conversation without breaking these rules, but I think I need some rules. I'm too much of a softy to survive over there.

If you know where to have that discussion that won't break the rules I'd love to have it.

Irinea crouches in the undergrowth looking at the strip of unnatural stone the mortals call a road. It doesn't give off the feeling of death like the weapons of war, yet it is not alive like the forest, maybe it has a life of it's own. Even the elves use these roads, the elves walk in two...

I wasn't looking at other's backgrounds for spoiler reasons. If it's ok with you I think it might be logical to assume that Firil would recongize Irinea for what she really is, or at least as a nature spirit, and wonder why she's acting so unnatural. Alternately you could have interacted...
