This thread should be in the 5e section. A good topic.

Positive for the community during design phase, as this will help unify people toward a common and noble goal, but personally negative. I'm a content 4ther, my group plays and loves the autumnal edition, and there's no OGL or Paizo-like entity that will preserve it come 5e. Just far too short a...

Largely my own concerns, my friend. And given the restrictions of the GSL, no one of 'professional' calibur is going to give 4e the facelift it could use. That, in my mind, solidifies the need for a concerted fan base to make the attempt- sadly without chance for profit (even to sustain costs of...

This isn't a lament or anything, I'm asking for a serious list from 4e gamers on what they need from WotC or another source to best service the edition, perhaps 'complete' it, or allow for its fans to enjoy it years to come. I've seen on the Rule of Three the idea of mechanically fixing/helping...

I like where you're going with this... It is needed to complete the edition, I feel, and if WotC is not going to put it together, I believe someone should. I'm only just getting into DMing Epic myself, but I'd be willing to contribute what I learn along the way. I think, more and more, fans of...

I learned being DM doesn't mean I have to devote 40 hours a week to prepping games or know every in-and-out of my players' abilities and their combined synergies. The ease and openness of DMing 5e will largely decide whether or not I make the switch.

My apologies as well. Yesterday wasn't the best day, and I've since been told to grow a thicker skin. I guess the way I read the post seemed really aggressively directed against something I care for and on my person for caring about it, but I'm not always able to glean the exact tone or...

What just happened lol? I thought this was a friendly conversation about potential future turns, and things have taken on a little bit of a condescending/inflammatory tone. Caught me off guard, Bry. I didn't know I was defending 4e, rather speculating on possibilities. You make some aggressive...

I think the model is changing, slowly but certainly, and it's becoming more inclusive from a technological standpoint and more willing to experiment from a rules standpoint. Content, fluff, is as accessible as an individual wants it to be. It's an exciting time. I mean we're in the 4era, and...

Tough questions, but I'm going to go the optimistic route and say yes, they see what they have, because once you stop obsessing on the Dancey-quoted expectation of 50 million a year, I think WotC has a successful RPG and solid chassis on which to build, explore, and eventually progress. I have...

I started with my friend's 3e home brew, entirely online via mIRC and FreeDraw, back in the early 2000s. It was my first real campaign, as before that I'd more or less just dabbled with the random 2e books my parents bought me every Christmas (which was always fun and exciting, how to make the...

While I'm still pushing for a completely new setting which utilizes 4e assumptions, if they were going back, I'd be happy to see a number of things: Al'Qadim as part of the Zakhara peninsula of the Forgotten Realms. I think it's unique versus the typical Western European setting, but also...

This is still talked about in my live group... While playing through a much stranger version of Tomb of Horrors: Garden of Graves, the PCs ended up in a ruined casino/banquet hall that, upon entering, filled with ghosts reenacting a long-forgotten wedding feast. While two PCs fell into a...

Artifacts have been a huge part of my game, even in Heroic: fun, flavorful, design friendly, and with a little wiggle room in the balance for story's sake. PCs love their personalities, and artifacts really underline the specific elements of a DM's campaign world infinitely more than normal...

This actually gives me a little more hope, honestly.

Part of me finds the whole idea of a 'multiverse' as much the same thing, an infinite smorgasbord of every kind of world, time, gravity, and occurrence imaginable, like cheese, pickles, cake, pine needles, an old boot, and literally infinite other ingredients on an open faced sandwich. It's so...

You know, given the PDF editorial this month, maybe the magazines are going to start being compiled in PDFs at the end of the month again. That'd be cool.

If the RPG team came to chat, I'd certainly read the conversation, but I'm really not turned off by them not participating on ENWorld- or this thread in particular. I guess, to be fair though, I'm not looking for them to prove anything to me. I mean I don't hold it against anyone for not...

Maybe the supposed announcement next week will relate to the missing adventures!

I wish they would move the convention year to year. There's little chance of my making it to Indiana, but I could potentially make something on the east coast, preferably in the New York tri-state area. I mean I appreciate WotC presence at the NY Comicon and all, but they need exclusive D&D...
