I don't take pledges. But yes, I am not going to war. Well, not over D&D.

I understand your position and, in the Clintonian sentiment, I feel your pain. However, I am now used to this railroad train. I'll keep my hand in, participate in the play-tests, and discover what this new edition is all about. If I like it, I'll feed the beast and enjoy the benefits. If...

You're describing a tachi -- an ancestor of the katana. It is a Japanese nihonto and was used primarily from horseback. Admittedly, most had a certain curve ... they weren't straight. For a little more info: Tachi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tachi became uchigatana became katana...

Sounds reasonable to me. A little patience ... a little tolerance. Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither was any-E. If you carry a chip on your shoulder, someone's going to knock it off.

As some others have said, I don't put my faith in companies ... or organizations, for that matter. Only in individual people. And, truly, not in too many of those.:erm:

Still trying. That's +3 more!!:)

Would you consider eating my hat instead? It's a nice Panama hat I actually picked up IN Panama last year. Smells quite good and still pretty clean. OK, just trying to lower the tension level.

It just makes me sad. Maybe it will always be true that the fan of the current fears and loathes the new. Maybe it's just a basic, human reaction. Not a lot of automatic change lovers out there.

Whew. Finally read all that stuff up there. "Let 5E be 5E." That is all.

Ditto. Nay-sayers are going to have to work a LOT harder to turn me 'meh,' let alone negative. And remember ... it's a long time between the crude draft they have now and the finished version. And YOU get to monkey with the rules! Any way you spin it, that sounds like fun.

True, true. But, young man, some day ... there WILL be 4E grognards. Personally, I look forward to that day. Though I'll probably not be around to see it.;)

It has to go further than that to bring me back. If it's just 4E re-skinned, that will be fine for many people -- but the issues that kept me out of the sandbox will remain and I will immediately see/feel them again. No. They have to go further, and everything I've seen so far tells me they...

I've been checking on what I could every few days. Admittedly, not much time to do that ... it's been spotty. Everything I heard has been giving me that old "tingly" feeling.:D I know it's too soon, but I'm feeling mighty positive.

It's a personal thing. For me, "healing surges" was probably the single thing I liked least from the 4th Edition. Pulled me out of the game, disrupted my sense of flow, and just generally irritated me. I realize this is my problem. But, for me, it really IS a problem. I'd prefer if it was...

Ah, but I do not WANT to prove you wrong. I want you to be right.

And this is what I like about the discussion most of all. Respect for every edition.

I have a pretty busy life, without much 'left over' time for hobbies. So, when my duties took me past the LGS, I stopped in to order the upcoming 3-book special re-print of the 1st Edition D&D rules (WOTC). To my surprise, the manager was well aware of Next Edition, but insisted he'd heard...

Sigh. I would dearly love to see the return of Greyhawk ... where I sweated, bled, enchanted, and strove as a young man. It would be great fun. Doubt it's going to happen, though. It's just easier for WOTC to move forward with what it has. But. But. One day ... from WOTC or Paizo or...

Did a second viewing today. Actually liked it better the second time. This is well worth continuing. Ideas? -Perhaps some occasional "how to" on more difficult/divisive rules. -Occasional discussion of poll results on topics we're always arguing about (State of the Union). -Impressions of...

In my defense, to me that IS young.:)
