[QUOTE="Scrivener of Doom, post: 6674728, member: 87576"] That's a better way of saying what I said up-thread. I think the WotC forums - along with the WotC website - are arguably one of the worst advertisements for D&D as a game and as a hobby. There are just so many damaged people posting there whose chief interest in life seems to be trying to damage others. I believe there was something of a purge - and some came here - but WotC really needs to aggressively clean up their boards. I agree: RPG.net can be really good for 4E discussions, particularly with the [I]Let's Read[/I] threads. And the modding is sometimes super-aggressive so you don't get posters behaving like they do at the WotC forums. There also seems to be a few active games at Obsidian Portal. There is only one worthwhile reply to that: "Thanks. You've just reminded me I can buy this more cheaply at Amazon!" How does the GSL being terrible - which it is - harm your game? Or are you looking to publish something? My "problem" with 4E is that it doesn't suit casual players. It's really a system where you have to pay attention and manage your character sheet. That said, I prefer players who do pay attention and can actually manage their character sheet so it's not really a problem. Also, it has made me an electronic tools addict. I really have no interest in systems that don't have them. I even look at 13th Age - which is so much lighter - and wish there were character and monster builders and also a compendium. I like reading books... but I like searching for information electronically. I haven't had a chance to run it yet but I still have plans for a Midnight campaign powered by 13th Age. I really like the game but I'm not a fan of the world which means, if I want to run 13th Age in a world I like, I have to put the work into working out equivalents/replacements for the Icons. Or not.
