The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

On a sidenote - I don't know if this is true for Hydrox - but Oreos are vegan. Like, the fact that a "cream-filled cookie" is just naturally vegan concerns me.

Not because I hate vegan food or anything in principle, but I'm of the opinion that "cream-filled" should, you know, have some dairy in it.

No no no, Oreos are "creme" filled. Big difference!

That bit of forum "knowledge" stems from a few posters' laughably bad reading of 2-3 lines from the PHB and blowing them wildly, egregiously out of proportion.

I feel like this is an accurate description of an awful lot of traffic in the forums.

I'm convinced that 9 out of 10 people here who post about 4th Edition D&D have never actually played it...certainly not recently anyway, judging from the things they write about it. It has reached near-mythical levels of praise (or disdain, depending on who's doing the mentioning). No game could possibly be as good/bad as some folks keep insisting.

Personally, I never cared for the system. But hot dog, it had some good lore.

Whenever I see one of those conversations breaking out, part of me thinks about saying something, but then I'm like, "Forget it, Jake. It's 4e-Town."

I take a slightly different approach:

Well, yeah! But sometimes, in the wee hours of the night .... don't you ever just want to type ...


Ak-shually, I heard that people didn't like that game very much because the classes were same-y.

We tried it a couple of times and didn't particularly care for it. It had a lot of neat ideas however, and I think that when the devs threw out the bathwater in preparation for making 5e there were lots of baby left in it.

You haven't seen "same-y" 4e, until you've had a party made up of high initiative area casters (with the exception of one Cleric) lay waste to everything that you throw at them.
