I don't get high-level D&D (merged)

[Nightfall]

Try?

Oh, check out the new digs? Looks like the old digs, really, but the material starts going up on Friday.

I will check it out. And I mean by nice try, your attempt to get people to see logic. No one ever does. Least of all me.

Funny, i'm getting the feeling you are the type who is so confused by numbers/stats that your imagination fails you in seeing what those stats could represent. You are of the moronic 'you can't have both a game and roleplay' school, correct?

Nope. Once again you have proven that you don't know squat about me despite your attempts to indicate otherwise.

Please feel free to return when you have something meaningful to contribute instead of insulting anyone you don't agree with.

Yeah, I know...

It's just frustrating when folks would rather toss about unfounded insinuations instead of admitting that someone else might be right. Funny... I ditched the WotC boards to get away from screw-heads like that.

The only thing I'm going to say is I'm glad I don't play in Wombat's game. I'd be quite bored. Ben's on the hand, while tough, would be fun at least cause I KNOW how he thinks.

Well you find a few here as well. Best thing though about this board, at least they let you post random stuff IF it has a semi-valid purpose. Compare that to Toonzone.net or WotC's boards, I'll take this place any day.

Hmm...

Got a point there.

Umm..i'm not making any unfounded insinuations. I'm communicating my experience and my rationalization of those experiences. You on the other hand are taking it personaly and, instead of debunking my thinking, are simply saying its my fault without any apparent reason.

But i shouldn't judge the resident enworld fool. Every board needs one.

It's the mandatory changing nature of the game that bothers me about DnD.

In other games I'll set a power level and the campaign will stick to that, allowing us to have a consistant story.

In DnD it changes the longer you play, you have no choice about the game 4 months later being radically different in scope and nature from the game today. You have to tell a different kind of story then than you do now, and on the other end of the table you have to play a 'different character' then than now (even if the same person).

A change in scope and nature is fine if driven by the developing story, but in DnD it's driven by a external unescapable mandatory artificial mechanic.

Nicely said. The inflation curve of D&D is the hardest part of the game of the game to get used to especially for us hardcore GURPSheads

Also stuff like Wind Walk Phantom Steed, Teleport and so on change the face of a game world radically -- this isn't a bad thing, after all D&D is its own genere but it is hard on the world builders

Especuially if they are hsitory crazy (like my entire group)
In my world design I had to resort to a "Cuthuliod Corruption" to deal with teleport effects although I will admit this is just a lazy way for me to say "I like traveling" in a high game -- airships are much cooler than transfer rings IMO

as a player I have yet to play above 8th (!!) level in a game do to a mixture of factors but man I do want to try -- and I still want to run 20+ level D&D just once

I will bet it is fun, even with the bookeeping from hell

No, you are not communicating your experiences. While your statements might be based on your experience, you might find in re-reading them that you are presenting them as all-encompassing blanket statements of fact while ignoring the experiences (and abilities) of other posters.

But i shouldn't judge the resident enworld fool. Every board needs one.
