D&D 3E/3.5 Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

[hawkeyefan]

Last night was the first session. Mostly uneventful.

What did you decide to play? Was there any combat at all, and if so, was your character's role satisfying?

Human Paladin
One boring combat
Too early to make a decision about satisfying

Eh , I disagree with your use of this analogy. And I will one-up you by giving a similar, equally bad analogy.

Bit jammed up right now so can't get to this yet. But never fear! When I get a sec I'll respond with where I agree and disagree with your analysis and your equally bad analogy.

Then I'll see your equally bad analogy and raise you an even worse, less applicable analogy.

Consider yourself warned. I played 4 years semi-pro crappy analogy ball. I would have gone pro if I didn't end up tearing my logic-fail.

Formal or informal? Formal logic-fails take years of rehab, I've heard, and you never really come back 100%. It's a career-ender for many a philosopher.

No A is B.
Some C is A.
Therefore, I am getting a drink and not taking the Logic 101 exam.

If A <> B, who gives an F? Not me, G.

Formal.

But given the collateral damage to my informal, it was really just a formality.

I was on the shelf so long, I had time to run a full Dark Sun game.

4 PCs. All Muls. They each made it to level 4 before they began mulling over ideas for new characters.

When I went to my Introduction to Formal Logic class, I wore a tuxedo.

For some reason, my professor did not find it appropriate, despite the course description.

Well, at least Introduction to Formal Logic had a course description. My Introduction to Informal Logic class was in the cafeteria, and held whenever the professor decided to show up. To this day, I still haven't gotten credit for it.
