I think we can thank Peter Jackson for that. :)

After giving more thought to this post, I suppose 4e is causing me some relationship strife. She plays a bard.

You know, Emirikol, I sold most of my 3e on Ebay. I got an average of $10/book, and in the end I made about $400 from them. I sold everything that hardly hit the table, but I KEPT stuff that I could get inspiration from. I kept: The core three. ALL the Monster Manuals (I don't own MM5) Heroes...

I'm selfish. I want 4e to be easy to DM so I can PLAY again. It sucks to know the rules better than the DM you're playing with. It sucks to watch them try to implement complex rules they haven't grasped by leafing through books in the middle of combat. It sucks to play with a new initiate who...

TOTALLY! The Bravia KDL52 BXR4 was $2,800, but on Craig's List it was kind of a deal compared to what you can get it for on Amazon. Fortunately, I was able to acquire the Toshiba HD A35 for about $280 after discounts, but then there was the wall mount bracket ($100). I have to tread very...

Of course. I'm getting a 5 gp exchange rate per Point of Light. By golly, these things spend just like electrum! :D ... But to give a less cheeky response to your post, there will ALWAYS be people who resist change, and at certain points in your life (may not be D&D related) you'll find...

Yes, but we're getting XP for it. :D

This just bolsters everything I already liked about 4e and Mearls.

Werd.

I'm prepared... but optimistic.

Same. Without reading the previous 3 pages, I'll say I agree with a lot of stuff on page 1 of this thread. So far, 4e looks great, but I'm suspicious of martial types with supernatural powers. I don't think that's what "Power Source" means, I think it's how it sounds that has me freaked. As...

QFT. I'm lucky. I got tired of the hodgepodge a long time ago, and have homebrewed the living hit points out of my D&D game to shape it into something that makes sense as a story outside of other popular genre fantasy stories. I'm fortunate because the direction I chose to go in was the...

Another thought: My 60 gb iPod cost about $300 when it came out (now the 80 gbs are $250). Is the Kindle cooler than a 80 gb iPod? I'd have to say no. It's cool, but not that cool (or as useful). So for me, the price of an iPod is a good benchmark as to how the Kindle should consider...

It looks neat. I'm with the others who say "wait for the price to drop." What interests me most is the ability to annotate. I would annotate the **** out of RPG books on that thing, whereas I'm O.C. about my paper versions; when players borrowing my books begin stabbing at them with their pens...

It's the math that I don't like. As a DM, I've got a lot of things on my mind and the factors that change the numerics for Power Attack can be confusing amongst all the other stuff you have to consider at the same time (spells, durations, special abilities, terrain, light, etc).

I'm a huge fan of magic items that grow with the character (i.e. Weapons of Legacy type stuff). Fighters walking over to Best Buy to get the latest & greatest dragonslaying sword is lame. Fighters who defeat an enemy to obtain a legendary sword which grows in power as they come to understand...

I like Shelly's writing. It's punchy and energetic, descriptive and action packed. Writing at Shelly's level is harder than it may seem; her metaphors are colorful and constant, and they showcase some brilliant creativity. I'm a fan. That said, I had a little trouble following the monogamy...

Good poll. I voted for everything except for "Weak." I frakin' HATE magic items these days. Mostly, it's because of the glut, the need, and the boredom factor. When PCs NEED magic weapons, then everybody HAS magic weapons. At that point, I don't think they're magic anymore. This is one of...

Well said! Also, it looks cool and scary, at least to me.
