D&D 4E Review of 4E from a Playtester

[Vayden]

Are you saying the verdict is still out because your opinion may differ from his? Congratulations on stating the obvious.

If, however, you're saying the verdict is still out because you think he's being held back by the "speak no evil" clause, I question your ability to read the English language - the guy clearly loves 4E and is never going back. He explicitly says that at least 5 different times.

That may have been the first thing I read that REALLY got me excited for the game. Now if I can just convince my players...

 

[Wormwood]

Powers that begin with 'Once per day, when you die..'?
Is he kidding?

Nope. He's talking about Epic effects.

Apparently, the designers are not only recognizing that death is trivial to Epic characters---they are counting on it as a springboard for cool 4wesome effects.

And I question your understanding of sarcasim. My post had nothing to to do with the verdict. It was merely a way reply to WW's h4ters comment.

Really no need for you to get upset.

I apologize. I was probably venting some RL aggression onto the message board. Please forgive my rudeness.

No worries, I understand it is easy to mis-read someone's intent on a message board.

Hell, since we're all apologizing, I'm gonna go ahead and edit out my h4ters thing. I should know better.

Sorry.

The comment thread below his article is.... amusing, in that clown-car train wreck sorta way.

Yeah, well, that's about par for the course on AICN.

Really lame review. Nothing concrete. Just saying:

"I love it cause it's good, because I love it, because it's great, because it's good"

That's good to hear.

I'm not a fan of "rez magic", but recognizing death and its place in epic level D&D is a good thing.
