[QUOTE="jephlewis, post: 4648189, member: 81304"] I think you may be right. How do I ask the mods to move this? Do I report my OP? Do I ask the mods to put it in the best place, or do I just request the thread be moved to a specific location? Yesh! "The Expedition to..." format is indeed great, but we're talking forty bucks for an adventure, which is fine every now and then, just not every adventure. I'm hoping we'll get some super adventures that are at LEAST 256 pages, just not a bunch, maybe one a year? I was just posting about some stuff I thought was cool, some stuff i'm hopeful for, and some stuff that I don't really get into that much. In your opinion, how could I communicate my thoughts and ideas in my OP without it coming across as a "rant"? Perhaps I should not have made it in the form of a letter addressed to wotc? Then again, I wanted wotc to know that I liked some things about 4E and why. Also, I thought rants were supposed to be largely negative; did my OP come across as largely negative? I really don't get this:confused: Alright. Late to the party; i'm usually behind the curve. I'm not sure what I can do about that. Wall of text; would more spaces in between blocks of text help? My opinions; I had thought that perhaps others would like to chime in with their own 'dear wizards' letters addressing specific things they liked about 4E. Perhaps I should have added, "what do you like about the new game" at the end of my post? Or perhaps I should have added, "so, what are you just now liking about it"? You know, I never got to play spelljammer, but I had two of the boxed sets, some adventures, and at least one of the old 'monstrous compendium' inserts for it. I'm hoping this time, i'll get to play it. I never really saw the 'sillyness' of spelljammer until much later in life [like, the giant hamsters and stuff]. When I read the books, it came across as a combination of star wars and pirates to me. It really blew me away back in the day. I haven't yet hit the 'nightmarish drag' in 3.5, but then again my highest level character was a 5th level monk. He sure did whiff a lot though! I'm not playing right now for various reasons; I may play in the summer. I did like the comparison, though :D. Okay. Maybe the topic should be something like "what are you hopeful for concerning 4E? Bonus points for addressing it as a letter to wotc". How about that? Yep; SWSE and tome of battle. Now that 4E is out though, that 'factotum' [sp] class from dungeonscape looks like it's got a little 4E design behind it. I wonder what else in 3.5 was a preview? I was surprised, but that's where the similarities end. I didn't start playing 3.x until the middle of 2006, I think. Dude, I was like a TOTAL 2E holdout. Oddly, what got me into 3.x was neverwinter nights, then years later I flipped through the 3.5 core books at a local bookstore, and saw a lot of mechanics that were up my alley. I really liked feats and skills in 3.x I kinda agree with you; i'd like to hear more about your thoughts on this. As for upgrading SWSE, i'd be down with that. What ruleset would you use to run star wars right now? Okay, that's two. Allow me to summon the mods; a moment of silence, please.... Ia Ia, cthulhu ftagn! Wait, that's not right...
