I wish i would have been warned first before asking my question of Mr Wile E Coyote there

Live and learn, eh?

That said, I just might be investing in a gourd farm in the new year! (But a real gourd farm, not a retroclone gourd farm. Can't make a decent codpiece of those retroclone gourds; something about the AC is all wonky.)

You realize that it was gourds that actually inspired the role playing game phenomenon, right?

The Great Gourd noticed that the kids of his tribes were carving gourds to represent the great heroes of his tribe. So he came up with a system that would enhance the intellectual imagination inspired by the gourd.


Oh gourdy. The history that gourds have inspired.

All of this silliness aside, I'd like to turn the discussion to a debate about the merits of Pathfinder vs. the 4e Essentials books.

Which is better?

On a similar note, has anyone noticed that WotC is flaming out lately?

Also, has anyone noticed how whenever someone asks a question about BECMI or older editions, that posters invariably pipe up with their favorite retro-clones.

Arrggh.

I'm really flaming angry about all of this.

Discuss....

I honestly pay no attention to WOTC. Sorry.

Umm, not to be a snippy pedant ('cuz I don't roll like that), but I'm pretty sure you're thinking of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown".

 

[Diamond Cross]

No, because the game was called Gourds and Goblins.

Now, so far, I've been dividing energy/effort more or less equaly between 4E and Pathfinder, though I must say that 4E has required a much larger investment of $$. But I went on strike against WOtC a couple of books ago, and I'm trying my level best to get by without the Essentials line at all. (I recently wavered a bit, and actually considered buying one. I resisted, and the urge passed, thank goodness.) But as far as comparing an entire rpg line (Pathfinder) to just a series of books invented for the sole purpose of relieving loyal DnDers of more of their hard-won bucks (my impression of Essentials), I have to say that Pathfinder wins that contest with great ease.

My solution?? GURPS 4E!! phooey on WOtC!

Over and over
Destiny turns on a gourd
I go where the gourd rolls
You can't tame a wild gourd
Mi vida gourda

Well it's obvious to anyone that isn't Clueless, ********* obviously sucks, and ********* RULEZ!

It's nothing that some Pepto-Bismol or Preperation-H can't take care of.

Also, has anyone noticed how whenever someone asks a question about BECMI or older editions, that posters invariably pipe up with their favorite retro-clones.

Yeah, I hate the Clone Wars also. Pretty much everything after the original three movies simply suck.

Wait...what were we talking about again...?

Discuss....

Done and Done!

I reject everything you say (violently). ******** is the best edition yet.

Sigh. Die Thread Die.
