    Farewell to thee D&D

    That's ... very sad. :eek: It has little or nothing to do with the Mods. There's only so much they can do without throwing the Ban-Hammer around like Thor on PCP. It's us. Each and every one of us. The following comments are not directed at Celtavian. If you see yourself in these words...

    Has 4e caused a great rift between gamers?

    This. Well said. I only know about 50 D&D players. The rift I see is about 50/50 ... which is far more than I expected. I hope it's much less serious elsewhere. I think the disruption is likely to heal somewhat with time. It wasn't this difficult in my area the last time around, but I...

    Who Will Get the Axe?

    You deserve it. You were unfailingly polite and kind. Not to mention knowledgeable. Even more unusual -- you always seemed to know what not to say and when not to respond. Rare talents, all. You won't go without employment long.

    Who Will Get the Axe?

    Revise away, brave soldier, revise away.

    Literary (and other) settings wishlist

    I would definitely agree with Smith's Zothique and Averoigne plus Vance's Dying Earth ... though each would require authors with real skills (just to keep the mood right). Have you thought of E. R. Eddison's The Worm Ouroboros? Or perhaps Zimiamvia? Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword has much to...

    Eberron Campaign Guide June 09

    Hang in there!! Old school that I am, I do like Eberron. And I think it is a natural fit for the new rules mechanics in 4E. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    The fate of the Advanced Player's Guide

    This is good news ... and nothing BUT good news. :D I'm having some personal problems (I think) with 4E -- not getting the instant "fun" I've always had from every D&D Edition. That will not stop me from picking up this book. That's how good Mr. Marmell's work is, every time. ;):angel:

    Announcing No Name Publishing!

    More creative people publishing = a better game for everyone. Welcome. You've got two votes. That's a good product. :angel:

    Giving Old Skool one last shot before calling it quits.

    Hmm. I've been having "fun" issues with 4E since it came out. I've played about 10 times with two different, rather small groups. Never had this problem with any previous Edition, but I'm just not enjoying it. And I went to quite a bit of trouble to be sure the others playing weren't...

    Who's the Demon Lord of Disease?

    Necromancer Games NOT going with current GSL.

    Agreed. Please. Someone asked: how many have we introduced to D&D? Somewhere near 100. I wasn't kidding when I called myself a Jurassic Gamer. When you've got that much time, you can do a lot of proselytizing. B-)

    Necromancer Games NOT going with current GSL.

    This. This is what angers me. We are losing access to the products of creative minds ... people with proven track records. So -- if they don't happen to work at WOTC, I won't get to enjoy their work in 4E??! Who cares about the Edition number?? I'll play whatever I please, whenever I...

    Where is the Rouse?

    OK. This one I might believe. I've often wondered how I'd look all buffed up and craggy. "Beware the Dire Roland." There's a certain cache' to that.:o

    Gleemax is Dead

    Doggone it!! That would have been ... great! Hmm. Maybe it will return in a few years.

    Gleemax is Dead

    ...and now, watch for changes in key staff. This does not look good. :-S

    I know that this is tough for some...

    1) No, it's not junk. It's just another way to play. No need to demean it. 2) I suspect you're basically right. I think it is best to approach 4E from a completely fresh perspective. 3) Unfortunately, this does NOT help me as I try to convince my RPG friends to try out 4E with me...

    Taking a Break

    Oh, that was you?? You might want to push that hood back a little ... couldn't see your face. Now -- if the mean man is being rude to you, you can always report him, yes?? ;)

    Taking a Break

    That's refreshing ... good to hear. Whether it works out or not, I appreciate the attempt (in advance, even). Though I did become a Community Supporter, I was seriously considering a rather lengthy time-out myself. Now, I think I'll hang around and see what happens. Even if things don't...

    Changeover poll

    Sorry ... nothing matches my situation. I don't 'change over.' When a new Edition comes along, I see it as a whole new game. If I like it, I add it to the list of games I play. I don't just stop playing an older Edition just because it isn't shiny any more. That way ... lies madness. I am...
