I still wasn't clear. For me, what I would need is a button to start the fight music, the village background noise, the bard singing in the background or the Imperial March for the villain, I won't use it. I'm can recognize how much sound adds to it but can't recreate it myself. The most...

Sorry, I wasn't very clear with this. I SUCK in trying to come up with ambient sounds. Suck at it. So, if this allows legal sharing of sounds and ideas, such that you could create a couple of "base" ideas that I could use and have the audio components, maybe I could do this. But, I don't...

Does it come with sampled sounds that are ready to use? Or do you have to find them? Can you set up any audio file into a loop? Did you use it at the game table? Did it work or take away from the gaming? edg

Thanks! And I still disagree with you on the evolution of the Realms and how safe it is. But I do agree that since 3E, the maps for it were not the same as what came before. The 3E maps don't even match up with the FR Atlas, which I consider the definitive source on maps for the Realms. Too...

Again OP here. I have been thinking about this a lot and I think the problem is that "mad" can be seen negatively. For myself, after years of talking about this with therapists and my wife, "mad" doesn't have to be negative. So, that's my interpretation of mad, with no negativity attached...

Ouch. I mean, ouch. As the OP. Ouch. All I can say is that I wasn't offended by any of the points that have been brought up in this thread and I was genuinely curious if people were still mad about things, specifically the one I brought up. Again, I was thinking external to DND and that...

Okay, so you are thinking about growth and change? I guess it's still a fine line we will have to agree to disagree! In 1355, going to Silverymoon would be an adventure unto itself based on how FR5 portrayed the world. Orc tribes, barbarian tribes, goblins, trolls, and other monsters were...

Well, I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree. I call a more explored world a different world. To me, there is a big difference between Silverymoon being this frontier city on the edge of civilization with a gate to hell nearby in 1355, to the capital of united area next to a kingdom...

Actually, imo, what made it tough to make the last 3.X version of FR a PoL setting was its own history. If you compare the gray boxed set of '87 to the 3.0 FRCS, or the 3.5 version, these are VERY different worlds! FR5 was the Savage Frontier but now we have the Silver Marches and several...

3.0 used Greyhawk as the default setting, in terms of gods and examples. But, I don't think it did as much as 4E did, in terms of what has been in the 4E DMGs for a setting. Unfortunately, I have nothing to cite for this, but wasn't DND traditionally marketed for a younger (13-23) audience...

Woo hoo! First prize ever for me here! Is that like an Ennie? :D And, as the OP, I also apologize. I guess people are still mad about some things, as Umbran and others said. It wasn't my intention to "open old wounds" or to turn it into an edition war. I merely like reflecting on things...

My players like that level of foreshadowing but away from the table, they have lives and thinking about gaming doesn't seem to be a priority for them. It just is for me. As I said, it's not that I mind reminding them but I feel like the impact is less when I have to lead them to a conclusion...

Hmm. Some more good stuff. I wonder if the developers, after being immersed in 4E and enjoying it, just wanted to show it off? But I can't speak for them. That they did a poor job is too bad. I didn't take it that way, and I might play 3E but I don't want to DM it anymore, as others have...

I feel this way from a DM perspective. I remember the other guys getting 1E stuff before me but me getting 2E stuff before them, especially the monstrous compendiums. I remember showing them the new picture of the (2E) hobgoblin and them running, first time, because they didn't know what it...

At first, I wasn't thrilled about the changes in FR but the guys who follow FR as much as I do, or more, aren't my regular weekly players anymore. So, I realized it didn't matter because the weekly group didn't know anything about FR anyway, other than what I had done with them in other...

gamerprinter: If your comments are to me about DDI, yes. Essentially. I have casual gamers and they wanted a computer helper program from day one instead of doing it by hand. After all of the choices of 3E, I can understand that. And, the character builder is nice in that it does figure out...

Wow! Good stuff here! Thanks for all of the responses! I was a bit disappointed at the comparisons and edition wars over the year(s) but that's to be expected. Having said that, I probably learned more about what 1E was trying to do, what it did well and what it didn't do well from current...

More good stuff! Thanks! I vaguely remember the GSL but since I am a consumer, not producer, it didn't affect me. I will say this. I bought Mouseferatu's extra player's guide but was the only one in the group. Since it wasn't in the DDI, and we all use that, it didn't get used. It's too...

Wow. Great responses! Thanks! I agree that I wouldn't mind getting some old TSR stuff in PDF format, especially when I started my Dark Sun campaign a while back! That would have been cool. I really do see 4E as being a different game than 3E. I also see that it didn't replace it...

I am curious about whether ENWorlders are still "fired up" about things from the past or if they laugh about it and don't care anymore? I am talking about threads, not edition wars, about something that they cared a lot to post about it when it first came out. For example, before 4E was...
