Leatherhead said:I would like to point out that WoW noobs don't bother with looking things up on WoWwiki, or virtually any other online resource for that matter. However, they sometimes read the small book that comes with the CDs that covers generic commands and has a brief description of the races and classes.
[sarcasm]Tactics in combat? Whatever will those crazy spliff-smokers at WotC think of next![/sarcasm]Imaro said:You also need to be a tactically oriented player as all it takes is one that doesn't understand tactics (and a DM who isn't shabby in that department) to send the whole party spiraling towards defeat.

ProfessorCirno said:Sounds very wrong, too. Most video games these days are absolute crap, and that's not because of nostalgia goggles.
The problem with removing "obstacles" is that you also remove the reward of surmounting them. When there's no obstacles - when there's nothing to work for - then there's no reward.
Also, Family, you realize that 1) CAD is a horrible comic, and 2) B^U openly admits in a thread that he has NO IDEA what he's talking about with that comic, and he just made it to jump on the 4e bandwagon?
Imaro said:which is the more widely and casually played game... chess or checkers?
Dlsharrock said:Chess?
Or do you mean, which is easier to pick up and learn from scratch? In which case checkers. Not that I get the link you're trying to make. Are you saying checkers/4e is easier to lose/die because the rules are simpler?
I'm not trying to be a smart-ass. I'm genuinely interested and lapping up these 4e/good/bad discussions as I'm toying with buying the books and running a 4e session.
