Monte's 3.75? (A sequal is on its way)

HP Dreadnought: if you don't like the thread, please stop posting in it.

I think HP Dreadnought's point was that this thread doesn't belong in the 4E forum, not that this thread shouldn't exist. It's really a 3.5 thread, and should probably be moved out of the 4E forum.

One vision!

Gimme fried chicken!

And Monte's house rules, too. I'd like to check 'em out.

It's the flayer & Monte's Brain
Flayer & Monte's Brain
One is a genius
the other's not quite sane,

He's eating Monte's Brain, brain, brain, brain,
brain, brain, brain, brain...

Sounds like a really cool product -- and could be the 3.75 a lot of people are looking for (paizo included?)...

The funny part is that part of me was putting this to the tune of "Painting the Roses Red" from Alice in Wonderland before I realized it was the Pinky and the Brain theme No I don't have a 2 yr old daughter who loves Disney movies. Not at all heh.

Except that I'm pretty sure I recognize a lot of those ideas as having been posted on Monte's blog months to years ago.

I'll definitely check this out. While I'm not a 4E hater by any means (actually I think it will be great) I can't justify the expense when I've already spent so much on 3.5. If Monte's "house rules" give me some of the good stuff of 4E without shelling out $100 for it, I'll be happy.

Maybe I'm weird. I still wanna play a game of D&D that is Ptolus in the AE setting using Ken Hood's Revised Grim N Gritty and Dr Spunj's Point Buy system, and maybe the thread about weapons as special FX, doesn't matter what you're using it does the same damage as you normally do. Which is pretty much the Jackie Chan effect I had people get all bent about the idea of GnG and AE tho, it was really amusing.

But go ahead, call it fear if it makes you feel better about being a lemming...

4e players are going to become so numerous that food gets short, so the population collapses and the cycle starts again?

EDIT: I was going to edit this out since MMU1 can't respond, but since MR has now responded to me I can't really.

The last thing I heard is that the lemming problem is an animal version of the chaos that (used to) happen in Mekka - but except of travellers being trampled to death, the lemmins are just shoved to the borders, which unluckily aren't walls but cliffs...

This! (Both the joke I was going to make if I'd been quicker and the sentiment. Its less that a fiver, after all).

No, lemming population fluctuations are due to a different kind of chaos -the mathematical one. The thing about lemmings going over cliffs is a myth -the famous 'documentary' that showed it had the crew just out of site shoving the poor little critters.

I will buy Montes Book of Experimental Might though I won't buy and DM (playing is another thing) 4th edition for a long time to come.

Is that a contradiction?

No! Montes Book uses some of the 4th edition ideas in a Toolkit approach. That means I can use my 3.5 Books and simply add the things I like and do not use the things I o not like.

I do not have to buy completely new books and do not have to use the new Core Fluff which I personally (an I state this again to avoid flaming: I PERSONALLY!) do not like.

I think that there are a lot of good ideas in 4th but I do not need the whole new package.
