UBER-HIVE-STRUM!! The Hive to End all Hives...

[Aeson]

That's not too surpricing. I started a list of things to house-fix and it's already two pages of my notebook. And that's only with writing down one or two words and page number to know where to look for it when I start the fixing. I'll run the KotS with RAW and then start the house-rules...

Why does anyone need to house-rule a game right out of the chute?

You might as well be asking the question 'Why does anyone homebrew?'

It's not a new game, it's a new edition, an important distinction because people feel the need to bring back what they liked from the previous edition into the new one. Sometimes this is classes and other times it is simple rules. "I liked this rule just fine in 3e. Woah, it sucks in 4e. Going back to the 3e version." Seems to be a common thing.

Well, I didn't even expect it to be exactly as I wanted it to be . Though there are some stuff that I can't even figure out how someone would have thought to be improvement from the earlier. So yeah, my list is quickly becoming much longer than I'd have expected...

Hehe. Or we all just happened to check back at the Hive at that exact same moment and decided to respond to it cause it was the latest post.

Have you guys noticed this http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=235926 ? I wish I could help out too but unfortunatily I'm almost broke too

Yeah, my current job is barely enough to cover my rent, let alone my other bills/food. Wish I could help him out, but sadly, I cannot.

Yeah I get that.

homebrew and house-rule to me are different.

It's very much a new game just like 3rd ed was compared to 2nd. Some of the names stayed the same but that's about it.

I'm feeling the same way.

It's 4e. That's not hard to do.

Party pooper.
