Those are three good people ... articulate without being dogmatic. They'll do just fine.

I voted "a little" -- my hope for the future. Looking back at the past, I've had to do "a lot." So ... I suppose, in extremis ... ;)

OK ... you've (all) talked me into it. Order placed.:D

It's just too early for that. Heck, the new game hardly exists yet ... just these fragments of rules for play-testing. If this rule, or anything similar to it, does stick around -- I think we can trust this crew to give us an "in-game" explanation for it.

I seem to have lost the ability to grant XP ... but I certainly agree with you. Fun.

Ummm ... it helps you inject a little more humor?:-S

I'm particularly taken with his comments on fast character generation options. I, myself, have always enjoyed character creation -- even long, elaborate creation sessions. But, I have plenty of friends who DON'T like that, so I've long since had to compromise. I can see the value in this idea.

And that would be perfectly fine with me (and the roughly 10 folks I game with now).

Dropped by ENWorld today ... and I just knew it was time ... to Gary Up.:D That's 3 more for the Colonel.

Had to vote yes ... but, perhaps oddly, that issue never really bothered me or the people I have gamed with over the years. We just expected "magic" to be the dominant force in D&D. And, after all, anyone could be a wizard who wanted to be. It was just a few dice rolls away.;)

Interesting reading. Had some effect ... made me feel even grayer and creakier than I actually am ... briefly. I got over it.:D Play whatever game you want, whatever way you want. And I'll play my game. It would be nice if those games happened to be organized around D&D. But if it isn't...

"...felt truly dangerous." Yes. This. Paradoxically, the difficulty involved in keeping your character running kept me around the game long enough to be addicted. The game was clearly different from everything else I had ever played, and its very oddness ... its peculiarity ... and the...

Hmm. I could never make 4e work for me ... and yet I surely don't think 4e should be "purged." Too many gamers like what 4e brings to the table. I can't believe the designers working on 5e will turn their back on 4e.

I've been a part of the 'corporate culture' since I left college many ... many years ago. It's not an environment where creative people seem comfortable -- what with every mid-level manager and executive eager to second-guess your work, often without anything substantive to offer. Given that...

How could she miss it ... Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk.:p

Ahem. Wouldn't that be more "tentacle slapped" than "bitten?":confused:

I understand your position and I certainly sympathize. Personally, I want to give them all the time they need to do this right. Maybe it's a function of my age, but I'm willing to wait them out and even help them out ... even when the timescale seems (already) to be shifting to the right...

Guess I've gotten pretty 'easy' over the decades. I liked about 95% of what I heard. And the last 5% ... certainly no 'killer' for me. Looks like I'll be around for this next edition.:) I will say that one thing made me feel ... uneasy. The Head of R&D for WOTC, and therefore for D&D, is a...

I think I'm succumbing to the OCD side of my nature. I read the title and thought ... COOL -- a poll about polls. A MetaPoll! And I literally HAD to respond.:p

Nothing wrong with being called "GM," but "DM" is just so ... iconic.
