It wasn't a claim... I was offering my perception of WotC's actions in both the marketing and creation of 4th edition. To my eyes there were enough significant changes made to the game, whether they be in style, implied background, rule mechanics, etc, that I could only conclude that they were...

Other than a few posters getting a little over-heated, I haven't seen a lot of rage in this thread... just insights into what drove people away from WotC and what could bring them back. As someone who has played every version of D&D and AD&D that has been released over the past 30 years, I'm...

I have no expectation that it will be soon and/or reactionary ... but the point of this thread is to see what would make lost customers return to WotC. For me 4th edition would need to go away and 5th edition would need to reacquaint itself with many classic D&Dism to bring me back. Until...

I should have stated that a bit more clearly. -------------------------------------- 2] WotC should ditch 4th edition and its design goals to create a 5th edition that strongly resembles the D&D that I've played for the past 30 years. There is room for innovation and streamlining (I'm thinking...

If WotC were smart, the next iteration of D&D would be modular enough to allow for rules-lite D&D. The core books would present classic races, monsters and classes, and the fundamental rules needed to run the game, as was the case with 3.X. The fundamental rules could easily be pared down...

To come back into the fold, I'd need WotC to: 1] Re-release pdfs, particularly of older edition materials. 2] Ditch 4th edition and go back to D&D's roots to create a game that strongly resembles the D&D that I've played for the past 30 years. There is room for innovation and streamlining (I'm...

Could you also send it to me? csperkins1970@gmail.com Thanks in advance!

If you're going that route, be sure to be a cloistered cleric from Unearthed Arcana. The extra skill points, added domain & spells, and lore ability are worth the loss of a few hit points, points of BAB and weapon/armor proficiencies. Besides, as a cleric/wizard, you're strength lies in your...

We went the stupid route and chose "The Electric Youth" as our group name.

Good luck and have fun! Savage Worlds is a fun, flexible system that you all should pick up on pretty quickly. I've only played it a few times so I can't offer any deep insights into the rule set. Ad for GMing, keep it fast and loose and don't get too bogged down by the rules. Try to enjoy...

Animate it. Animate Object turns an object into a construct. You can't use Locate Object to locate a construct... Same goes for casting Polymorph Any Object on an object.

I must protest! Shakespeare would clearly be a bard. He is, after all, The Bard of Avon. ;)

I just got the Collector's Edition and it is a piece of art... it's beautifully done. I got it exactly for the reasons you listed but am now afraid to use it. :eek: Because of that, I'll eventually get the regular version and enshrine the Collector's Edition. I can't comment on the rules at...

Congratulations and, hopefully, you are able to inspire those who dropped D&D with the release of 4th edition to return to the fold. I, for one, would love to see D&D return to its roots and get "back to basics"... but with new, innovative and flexible rules that make the game fun for DMs and...

I'm in and can't wait to see how this rolls out.

It falls on my 40th birthday, plus I dig Old School gaming... so it must be full of awesomeness. ;)

With all due respect to Gail Gygax, I think she is missing her best opportunity to release EGG's works. The OSR seems to picking up steam and there are plenty of people, like me, with a renewed interest in old school products... especially those penned by Gary Gygax himself. I realize that...

My perspective on this is this is that, after playing 3rd edition for 10 years and playing 4th edition a number of times until I tired of it, I think that looking back at earlier editions of D&D might be what's best for the game. I'm not saying that Basic and AD&D are perfect, but they are have...

Move away from the rules-heavy model of 3.5 and 4th edition to create a fun, fast and rules lite d20 game. Start with the basics (including classic races and classes, as well as Vancian magic) and build an awesome game around the simple core rules.

Exactly what I was thinking.
