Message: <blockquote data-quote="GMforPowergamers" data-source="post: 4598177" data-attributes="member: 67338">Schools of Thought:  High magic (FR)   Home made settings V.      Settings and novels being separate.       Mid level games (10-20)   Detailed combat rules for combat moves, attacks and actions (anything other than swinging a weapon giving specific mathematical bonuses or penalties, for ex. -2 terrain, +4 blinded +2 full attack, -2 concealed, etc.)   Multiple worlds and settings to adventure in   Narrative critical (it bashed the side of your head, blood is your left eye making it difficult to see and you’re a bit dizzy)   Wizards at high level are completely unbalanced.  Nerf, Nerf, Nerf them to death.  Tabletop grid and dry erase   Miniatures   Tile No structures I’ll make up my own stinkin’ adventures  Adventure paths    Moderate houserules   Magic item stores   Roll play mixed with Role play  PDF magazines   PDF core rules V.   PDF modules V   PDF supplements  Laptop for the DM at the gaming table  Laptop for players at the gaming table   None. None. Hardcover books Non-Gygaxian  Skills  Paragon Paths   Kits and/or prestige classes  Feats  Class based system  Book of Nine Swords-style progression trees  Non-classed monsters, they just have special abilities.   Who gives a crap, lemme go kill something and take its stuff.  Rolling for social interaction results    Rolling a d20 for search results   Rules   Character abilities  Superhero  Game balanced encounters   Hey, not fair, I invested a lot of time in that 15th level guy and he shouldn’t die because of one bad roll.  Classes balanced against each other per level   Rogues being able to sneak attack/backstab in combat because of flanking   Every character being able to do something every round of combat   Combat-centric/focused/driven V.   Sometimes, your epic level characters kick down a door and it’s just a mouse in there, eating some cheese, and that’s ok, because the world is made up mostly of those kinds of encounters.  That's not to say we still won't fireball it and take its now melted cheese...  We use CR   . Nope, just for the kill.  We use an XP system V.   10d6 caps to 3rd level damage spells   Characters take their place on the battlefield leading troops in battle My favorite setting of all time is: SpelljammerI debated whether or not to put this last one in because of its chances of leading to an edition war, but I figured it would be interesting to know the edition you prefer, after we know all your  other main gaming preferences. Lets try it and please keep it civil, no edition war crap.   Fourth Edition</blockquote>
