A line through the name means banned, right?
I think so?

I figured out my issue, btw. A few months ago I got frustrated with all the cross-posting in one of my Survivor threads, and I removed everyone from my Ignore list to help reduce the amount of cross-posting. But now that I'm not doing any more Survivor threads, I guess I can start rebuilding my Ignore list.

So! Who wants to give me their hot take on 4th Edition, or the skin complexion of elves? Anyone?

I don't really have anything on elves, but let me tell you about 4th edition! They got some stuff right! They evened out the balance between fighters and wizards, and they created the Skill Challenge system to make skill rolls more tactically interesting. But they screwed some things up, too! Characters are too beefy, they usually survive first level! And characters become godlike at high level -- it's impossible to challenge them! I end up having to just figure out an attrition method to knock characters like wizards and clerics unconscious so I can provide an interesting tactical challenge to the remaining characters! I don't like to do that, I'd like it if they could remain weak so the challenges could be more evenly spread out, but I guess you have to break a few eggs to make omelets. And then there's the magic items! Gone are the days when a single bag of holding was a great treasure for even a high-level character -- instead every character gets new items all the time, just buying and selling them, like some sort of free market economy! I put a stop to that in my games, let me tell you!

It's enough to make me hang up my 4th edition hat and go back to AD&D 1st edition!
