I say it with a very straight face, 3.5 was not a new edition. All changes were minor, core books were 80-90% identical, you could take a PC from 3e games and use it in 3.5e without almost any change. Invoke Chuck Norris if you want, it doesn't change the fact that a goose isn't a duck even...

From 3e to 3.5e all changes where minor, changes that, while changing deeply some aspect of gameplay, where small points of the rules. From 2e to 3e or from 3/3.5e to 4e there are deep changes, the whole game is different. That's why 3e and 4e are new editions, and 3.5e was a revision. To take...

3.5 wasn't a new edition, as 2e Skills and Powers wasn't it.

O.k., I will reformat my phrase to make it clearer. IMO the changes from 3e to 4e will be as significant/dramatic/whatever as from 2e to 3e. There are new elements in both changes, both in crunch than in fluff, formulaic conversions won't work as they didn't work before, power level will change...

So, if I understand right, changing from 2e to 3e was indeed dramatic for certain PC (multiclasses, dual-classes), and the power level changed dramatically too. And on top of that, a class appeared from nothing (as sorcerers), other reappeared in core book (as monk), classes reserved to human...

Or maybe yes...

You're beginning well... Why, if I can ask? I don't know why you think it won't be D&D anymore, and what are those dramatic changes you foresee. Many of the changes (at will powers, combat maneuvers) are already in official supplements (like warlock and maneuvers in Bo9S), and in many...

They were "minion vampire", I guess that a kind of minor vampire, or newly created ones. A bit as in Buffy, where normal vampires are no match for the Slayer, or even for the experienced scoobies in last seasons, but old vampires are as powerful (or even more) as the Slayer...

What about warforged in MM1 ? Developers have say that many "monsters" in MM1 will be decribed both as monster and as race (for example gnomes). So Warforged could be there too. People who don't like them wouldn't feel compelled to use them, people who like them could use them since the...

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.

I will watch the match life at tv this evening, while sipping a cold beer. I guess sometimes living in France is an advantage :D

I guess that people who complains about 3e, 4e and (hypothetic) 4.5e don't play Warhammer 40.000, Warhammer Fantasy, Blood Bowl or almost any GW game. In their games, new edition is something that invariably arrive every four/five years. New edition means new core book, and new army books, and...

It sounds as if they were adding depth to social challenges, I like that!

I would love to read the transcript too...

Touché... Your examples are way better, because nobody can think of Willow or Braveheart as Wuxia (and then people who dislike wuxia won't feel that their game is wuxified ;) ) So yes, I want combat in my games to be as in Willow, Breaveheart or LotR, or as in old Errol Flynn movies, not as...

I really like it. I hope all races get a similar revision, I would love to see their ideas for halflings...

I think we have here a good exemple of different expectations. People think of different things when they hear "D&D melee combat" :D I tend to fall in Hong's side here, Hero or Tiger-Dragon over realistic sport fencing (and I've done fencing for several years)...

I don't have a true homebrew world. I tend to use Planescape, and PCs often visit different homebrew prime planes. I plan to make a homemade Planescape conversion, while waiting for planewalker.com's one. And I will prepare new prime worlds, fully 4e compatibles.

I would really love to see Fantasy Concepts released before Christmas, or better yet, in a couple of months. I would love to have such a product to wait for 4e. I think you have a great "release window" between now and the end of the year. After that, many people would choose to wait for 4e...

And I guess that most people in his position would feel a little bit pissed off after spending some hours in D&D forums these days, IYKWIMAITYD...
