I don't DM very often; that said... I like the vast majority of it. The page layout is very user-friendly for use right at the table and that is a big plus in my eyes. My main gripe with it is that the book lacks a full alphabetical listing of every entry in the book. There is the CR table...

I would say that I am amazed at the amount of "if the DM isn't 110% in control of everything then the DM is 110% powerless" attitudes that some of the posts seem to carry in this thread... but then again this the intertubes so I guess it is to be expected. This is coming from a player...

Since some have said it is working fine I just double checked. I tired voting at about 7:30 this morning EDT and again a minute or two ago. I submitted my votes and both times the page refreshed (very quickly) with all of the ballets reset to being blanked out.

I will agree if that is rephrased as "saying 4e feels like a video game isn't INHERITLY the horrifyingly insulting low blow that some people make it out to be". The problem is two-fold: 1) Many posters here remember the "3e is anime!" cries from a few years back and (myself included here)...

I could quote the OP and it would be what I want to say almost word-for-word. My thought exactly and why I haven't posted much recently. I have nothing to add to either discussion (or at least nothing that wouldn't be the same as pouring gasoline on a fire) and sometime all it seems I see is...

As being a fairly quiet bystander on this issue - what gets me tired of the discussion isn't that people are saying negative things about the edition, it's that they aren't going into descriptions about the issues. With this thread the OP said he felt like it was a video game. Period. No...

Mr. Dustyboots, I'll bonk myself on the head with my 4e MM when I get home from work tonight - I promise. The group I play with very rarely cares about the ecology of the dungeons; we care about the plot lines, not about the creature's lifestyle. For this reason when I have guest DMed I was...

My thing about being ready on your turn was meant in a 'be kind to your fellow players' kind of way. Nothing kills the momentum more than having a fight drag on forever and players can easily help or hinder the speed of a combat. If the pace of the fight is faster fewer people will lose...

Very nice list. I have one I would like to add though... Be ready for your turn. Your character has at best 6 seconds to think - don't take five minutes. Start thinking about what you are going to do in combat before the DM calls out that you are up. Yes, things can change (sometimes...

Same here. With the images of Redgar that come to mind I remember a lot more where he isn't white than ones where he depicted as white. There is also a statement by Lockwood somewhere that he purposely made Redgar ambiguous in his racial identity so I always took the verying shades of his skin...

Limiting access to a single IP is very easy to do, but usually not a smart thing to do (for the reasons already given). And not only for the dynamic IP issue, but what if I took my laptop from my home network and then used it through a friend's home network? It woud change IPs. Heck, using a...

I didn't have any stores participate in Free RPG day in my area, but a friend of mine lived by two stores that did. A bunch of us got together and hung (and visited both stores for free stuff). The difference between the two stores was incredable and if I visited either one again I know which...

This is one of things I've been trying to say. I was quite excited when the Mark of Justice went off. Something was happening! I loved Haley standing up to Belkar!! And then it all "never happened". Sure, the Mark is gone but no one who is able to do anything about it remembers that...

There was a period where he took a few weeks off because of a hand injury (or something similar, I don't remember exactly which is why I didn't specifiy). In the first strip back Elan was wearing a sling as a reference. That was te injury I was referring to. Sorry for being a little vauge...

There are two reasons. 1) I almost quite Lost multiple times over those two seasons. Each time I almost quit the next episode actually advanced the plot in a way that (at least at the time) seemed to be a major advancement. Some times it turned out to be a big advancement and some times it...

If you knew some of my friends they would say I am not one for 42 minute gratification. I enjoy 24 and Lost (at least this most recent season). I love the movies Alien and Aliens and the creatures don't even show up untl the movie is more than 1/2 over. I'm not asking for Voyager to get back...

Then I think V should go over already. There has been more than enough real life time having passed to give the impression that V has been at it for quite a while. What I want is something to happen to advance these plots.

Constant 100% tragedy with no victories at all for years on end? I likely would. I highly doubt that is the case though. Farscape had seasons of depression. That is what lost me. Battlestar Galactica (the remake) has victories from time to time - far less than 50% (maybe 10%?) but they are...

Maybe it's just burn out from stuff like The Wheel of Time and waiting for the next book in The Song of Ice and Fire. If he is saying that is going to be telling a story then TELL THE STORY ALREADY!!!! *pant* *ppant* *pant* I feel a lot better now. Anyway... I'm not looking for an answer to...

Is Roy ever going to get the chance to remember it? There have a been a lot of funny strips lately but he really needs to pick up the pace and finish these side quests.
