D&D 4E Something for the grognards to like about 4E!

4e gives 1 XP for each 1 gold piece you find.

Oh wait, it doesn't?

It doesn't matter. You don't level up until you find the Wand of Fire.

There is one thing grognards should like about 4e: the return of alphanumeric codes for adventure modules! It doesn't make a lick of practical difference, but it beings a certain amount of awesome for oldtimers I think. Personally, I'm psyched about it.

I like this, if only because I can refer to A1-A4 and people know what I'm talking about.

There are lots of grognardly things to like about 4e over 3e. It's just 4e is using spooky movement.

For example:
if AD&D is here......................and 3e is here
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 4e is is moving this way>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Made me laugh.

I'm grog I guess, if that is the term, and many of the rumors about 4e have pleased me. Some not, of course, but I think many of those things will be easy to dispose of, so that's not bad at all overall.

I didn't like the 3rd editions at all, though they did have some interesting aspects.
I certainly like the 4e artwork better as a general rule from what I've seen.

Anyway for the first time since AD&D I'm looking forward to seeing how the actual game designers will structure the game instead of how I will be forced to restructure it. So that's kinda nice right there.

While it doesn't fit with the current 4e artwork style, I miss seeing Erol Otus' work that was pretty common in 1st edition. It's not a standard Elmore-like style, but it's interesting.

BECMI demons

Whispering, Screaming, Croaking, Howling, Groaning, Hissing, and Roaring Demons?
And are we talking the Roaring Demon form that Alphaks takes in M1, or the real deal from the Immortals' Set?

Indeed. 4E needs more lighthearted threads.

sorry, points of light specifically forbid this.
