ehm... if i'm reading his post correctly, he did say that playing the same sort of game with previous editions did NOT caused him nearly as many problems as when he tried to use 3e. in addition, he said that his *players* agreed that the game experience was somewhat inferior. and his post was a...

maybe not too powerful, but way too common. and, as you noticed, way too conform to a single stereotype. which leads to: :)

unfortunately for you, you didn't sit at my gaming table. :P

also, if i may add, you wouldn't have to worry about everyone wanting to take "just a level or two" in uberclass of the week. you could have a class that was way out of balance: it would have take a player three times as much to get from level 1 to level 2, but, hey, if that's what he likes...

you know, i think i would like being a player in one of your games. :)

man, this made me laugh so loud! :D i am a musician myself, stuff like that has happened to me, and i can tell you, it's embarassing! one one hand, you are happy that someone likes you. on the other, they guy in question was a bit of a freak... i couldn't help but asking myself: "geee... ehm...

i was going to make another post, but it seems that, once again, whenever one touches the holiness of 3e on these boards, and even hints at the fact that, for all the good things it accomplished (which i conceded, if you cared to read my earliest posts...), older editions of the game have their...

wait a second, don't put words in my mouth. where did i bashed 3e or 3e lovers? haven't i said *more than once*, that these are my preferences and that i quit the game only because i felt that i couldn't change it to play as i want? did i ever say that 3e have to disappear from the face of...

my mistake, then. i stopped buying 3e items when i got the disappointment that was the epic level handbook. did they suppressed the expected health and expected magic item power level from the game? that looks like a good quick fix. :) if you want to see things that way. what i meant is that...

i see what you mean, but do normal, "mundane", non adventuring people have access to the same modifiers? no. this is a thing that happened in previous editions of the games, as well. the PCs were above the norm, or they were meant to become above the norm if they survived. they were in another...

reynard, are you a woman? if so, i'm about to leave my girlfriend and ask you to marry me. :D only kidding.

can i remove skills and feats in their entirety? can i pick up, i don't know, OD&D skill system and put it in without too much hassle? i don't think so. you might be right on this one, i give you this. and without offering a substitute mechanic or rule? multiple published products have said...

i certainly didn't say that! :P the DM is ALWAYS right! :)

HEAR! o, HEAR!!! [tears in my eyes] what he said! i don't know, i don't have enough information to say. but if that is the case, i will: 1. steal what i can from 3e and 4e. 2. spend my first summer break in years writing down my own "AD&D 3rd edition", with other rules taken from OD&D...

in all fairness, that has nothing to do with the item creation rules. it's more the... ehm... (again) in built assumption in the ruleset that you can buy a +1 weapon (or +2, or +3, or...) at the cornershop of your metropolis. i wonder if there is an offer on milk, too. :P

i'll cite brian eno here: "if you have two options, choose both" :P i'll add a third: improve the bookeeping in the game. creating magical items was putting together some random evocative mundane items, officiate some mumbo jumbo ritual, and understand what was wrong if the DM hadn't granted...

WOW! i couldn't disagree more with you on this one! now, surely you are right. there's nothing that stops me from stop giving magical items to the players if i want to run a nitty gritty low magic game. nothing apart from the fact that the *whole* system is built around the assumption that...

to me, this is a bit like saying: "since you like your job, we'll stop paying you..." :P

i understand where you are coming from... but it would work well for the group dynamics only if it was nearly immediately backed up by another NPC actually recognising the PC, or something similar.

i have to agree with mallus here. i used to poke a bit of fun to my players when their *characters* wanted to do something that i thought was quite out of the way... until i ended up in someone else's campaign and he did exactly that with my bard PC. i tell you: it is *not* fun. especially...
