Perhaps it's GOOD vancian magic. D&D has had :):):):):):) vancian magic for so long, it deserves some flexible, well thought-out, flavorful and fun resource management system like that.

"O woe me, that Create Thread button inflames feelings in my loins: of talking to people i'll never meet, communicating things of little consequence. Yet - what means shall i employ?" *Swishing sound" "Do not worry anymore, citizen! Here comes Mr. Youtube! Mr. Youtube contains more randomly...

I approve of everything in that Rule-of-Three. Which means that this thread will quickly die down after a couple of pages.

I'd just love this "D&D play - any edition char you want - TOGETHER" game. "The wraith hits you! You are drained of 1d4 levels!" "Haha! I play the 4e char! No level drain for me. Just losing a couple of healing surges!" "Damnit!" 4e Cleric: "I use my healing surges to get myself back to...

Well you should be frustrated about that. There are so many people angry that 5e is here so sooooooooon! Somebody has to try to cancel that out.

Feats combat only. Skills noncombat only. Spells only either combat or noncombat. I nominate this for the "worst idea i've heard since 3.0 gave us monkey grip" award. It's an overreaction based on the fear that exchanging flexibility, combat power and noncombat abilities with each other will...

I think what Monte means is that they'll try to build the system in a way that players could choose different ways of building their char without wrecking the game. In the end that will look more than the Slayer / Fighter - split in 4e. Which means: if the DM allows all these choices, the...

They've set themself a couple of hard-to accomplish aims, but as an interested DM and playtester, i think this will be a journey worthy undertaking, both for them and for us.

If you feel hurt and betrayed when a bad set of MtG cards comes out, or a new edition is announced... well, i would hate to see how you react when someone steals your car.

Let's see... "Question: Did you lose faith in Wotc completely? Wotc, did the faith you had in them get lost? This faith, that you had in Wotc, where did it go? What is the negative status of your faithbased relation to Wotc? Answer: Well, i don't know about you, but i lost my faith in Wotc...

This is the first time i'm thinking about asking the OP himself to fork a thread because he's not talking about what the thread apparently is supposed to discuss. Color me confused. Also, some anti-groggism-examples would be nice. I can try to balance them out with vehemently pro-groggisms...

has become pretty Anime lately.

I can't forget that Goldfish example... Swallowing table Roll 1d8 for random treasure. Abilities take effect 1d6-1 rounds after swallowing the respective animal whole. 1: Goldfish: Water breathing as the spell for 6 hours. 2: Swallow: Fly as the spell for 6 hours. 3: Frog: Expeditious retreat...

And again, it was a -borg that did it! Cyborg, Hasborg, Star Trek Borg...borg, they want to destroy life as we know it! Will nobody act on these allegations which are totally unsupported by evidence and based on hearsay and internet rumors? What has the world come to??? :rant:

They had me at 'electrum piece'. And can we stop drowning babies? It was bad enough during the last Edition War when childhoods were raped, but this is a figure of speech that could be easily replaced with something more tasteful. Like "molested my weasel" or something.

There should be a bunch of any-edition-isms hardwired into D&Dnext. Regardless of which edition you prefer: you have to endure some pain to experience greatness (something any high-ranking Druid can tell you). So, a cheap trollop, a bateezu, a belt-clad sorcerer and a thick-tailed tiefling...

My knightly Wizard approves mightily. This is what themes should've been all along. Oh, and: themes killed backgrounds and took their stuff. As it should be - background mechanics always were underwhelming.

I think that you're currently standing in a line, and in front of you are: - people who want the 1e cosmology - people who like the Great Wheel - people who want crystal spheres back - people who like Planescape - Planescape fanatics /w Mercykiller tattoos - people who talk like they're from...
