Indeed. I'd play a fighter because I want to play a fighter.

There might be something there with that train of thought, but. . . I really don't think so. I think we still in our own world as a whole, a prime example is the likes of the TV show "The Big Bang Theory" because the audience of that show aren't laughing with us, they are laughing at us...

I still think a series based on a group of people playing D&D with interesting stories both in and out of the game would be amazing. Think The Gamers: Dorkness Rising.

The character generation tools look interesting, especially when I actually get to play I can just bring out my iPad. The DM tools I'm less excited about, and I may be only 25, but I still like my paper/binder system for campaign and adventure writing. If I needed a place for players to...

But if they have them available at Gen Con why don't they release them? But. . .but. . .ARRGH!!! *Goes and takes a cold shower* In reality I suppose I understand why that might be a hard thing to do, but it still bothers me.

We have never once gotten to 20th level in a campaign. I believe we got to 16 or so in 4th Edition, but that was in a more "DM mandates when you level" kind of game.

I always think about both equally. Honestly, I do. No, really. It's either, or for me when coming up with a character concept. I might think of a really cool character flaw or trait and take it from that angle, or think of something awesome my character would do like wield a large sword...

Money has also become an issue with me in the past 5 months. Now, with my wife wanting to get her MBA, it will be doubly so. I always used to buy stuff from my favorite FLGS, but I hardly ever go in there anymore, and never use their space anymore, which I used for Warhammer Fantasy. These...

It's a very good system. Does the rules light type of play really well, whilst still providing a great framework to tweak with the mechanics and bring in your own house rules and nuances to the game. It's my go-to system when not doing Hackmaster or Edge of the Empire.

My sentiments exactly. Excitement as well, because we all can't get together as often as we used to.

I really liked this article, but I felt my eyes glazing over here: It's not that its over complicated, in fact much less so than several other games, but it seems jarring compared to the rest of what I read in terms of the level of complexity involved. Just my observation.

Indeed. This seems to be generating a large amount of discussion around the web. My stance is exactly as the above.

There are several Dwarven kingdoms in the Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign setting. One has even been taken over and used for slave labor. The demi-humans in that setting seem to be more on par with humans (even if humans are more numerous) and don't take and back talk from anybody.

Hackmaster is currently what I'm really excited to play. I really enjoy the character creation process, but then again I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. I'm also very interested in the One Ring RPG, and never picked it up when it first came out because I thought it was a...

I'm not sure if this has been brought up, but I feel like the design philosophy, being what it seems to be, allows for a certain level of expected DM Fiat (aka "The DM is always right.") to occur. Whether one sees the DM being the true master of not only the campaign/story but the rules (to an...

No, but I might. I might pick it up at some point down the road. Currently my group is pretty happy with other RPGs.

[/LIST] I probably will be waiting until November to get all three books. Firstly, it just bugs me. I'm sorry it just seems silly to me. Secondly my group is happy with other RPGs right now anyway so it doesn't bother me to wait. We will see though, I may crack out of curiosity.

Not bad. I'd read another installment.

I tend to agree. It would have been a great opportunity. Then again, the Forgotten Realms has a massive amount of brand power, so I'm sure that's why the decision was made.

I like it, but don't really care for the arrows. Would've have preferred numbers and a legend.
