[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4113319, member: 3087"] I like the idea. I agree that -some- discussion of "how will this work" instead of "It won't work" or "I'm gonna house rule this cause it's obviously not going to work" would be good. I mean... you'd still get "for" and "against" concepts and ideas and there'd need to be moderation, satisfy Eric's grandmother and so forth. I know that some number of people I know (most of whom are lurkers) on the boards are getting in a mind to start thinking about prepping/testing/running/brainstorming. We can just do it by email but in the past EnWorld has offered a rich environment for cross pollination. It would be nice to see that continue. If a forum is too much work (and I think it might be a lot of work for whoever sets it up) Would the moderators "bless" it idea of a "uniform" post head, which would clearly state what was appropriate and inappropriate (i.e. not stifle debate per se, but encourage people who want to post "and this is why I don't like 4e" to make a separate thread linking to it instead of dumping directly into the thread). For example: Thread Title (in 4e forum): [B][U][Constructive Criticism only] My new 4e campaign idea: Return to the Feywild[/U][/B] And lead with some piece of set block text: The wording of the block text, obviously, would need to be a bit better. I'm not an overwhelming supporter of 4e per se (I like and play most every rpg at this point in my life), but I do think that some of the dumping is getting a bit toxic. There's nothing wrong with being exited about 4e and the whole "roast people who like it! get 'em get 'em!" thing was stale the second it started. [/QUOTE]
