...guys whose schlongs are the size of 22oz beer cans. The moment I read the words "22oz beer cans", my mouth started watering with anticipation. Then I read the words immediately before them. CURSE YOU BRANDI, FOR YOU HAVE CONFUSED MY ORIENTATION!!! :lol: Laughed to tears to that one :lo...

FWIW, my dad and I are still working on a 1e campaign that started, oh, almost two decades ago. (The campaign slowed considerably when I left the house. ;) ) The advent of 4e will not impede our progress! Treasure that. I got to play D&D with my dad once . And I know he didn't really "get&...

EtCR is selling, so I would bet that that would be the direction they go in. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I loved EtCR.

4th Edition: Elves - The Same But Different.

WOTC has posted a general background for 4th Edition elves. While they're much like the D&D elves we know, there are a few subtle changes which, I think, supports the "mysterious faerie" archetype. The most obvious is: Elves, sometimes also called wood elves, wild elves, or sylvan elve...

Well if TPTB here at FoS are game for the extra work this is going to entail, why should I stand in the way of a solution that's going to make everyone happy ?

I don't see why the writers go to so much trouble. Cosmology and origin stories are up to the DM and not the game designers. So, why write a "default" cosmology and back story for the core rules when many DMs and, more importantly, published campaign settings will throw it out in favor of ...

How is that not a "continual upgrade" scheme when first edition worked well enough and was popular for more than a decade ? You don't see a new edition of the Monopoly rules every five years. You do see new boards , and Parker bros have intoduced a new faster Monopoly along with the old o...

Heck, the original Unearthed Arcana and the Player's Option books were essentially AD&D 1.5 and AD&D 2.5, respectively. The only thing that was odd about 3E's mid-lifespan revision was that they actually came out and admitted that's what it was. :roll: And one member of the original 3.0 cor...

I can understand people saying they don't want to buy into 4e. But it kinda feels like some people feel WotC deserves their own darklord domain for daring to release 4e, and I don't understand that. For some, like me, it's not having a new edition; It's releasing a new edition and abandoning suppor...

If you don't count the core rule books, I can count the number of WOTC books I own on both hands and still have fingers left over. This is not to say that what I didn't buy was bad. It's just that such books held very little appeal for me. I find WOTC's reference works that compile game data of grea...

Cure, I acknowledge that you were late to adopt 3E, but the cold hard fact is that there are people on this earth today, who can walk and talk and write their names in school, who had not yet been born when 3E was released. "Continual upgrades" between editions is something you conjured u...

I guess it's official. "4E is a video game!" is the true heir to "3E is a CCG!" (I think we've also definitely entered the phase where fans of the old edition start freaking out at the intrusion of the unknown and take to angrily swatting at phantasmal "problems" that ...

I'm very pessimistic. Even if they got someone to write for Ravenloft who could do all those things cure mentioned, they could still screw the material over by making a small change here another there... Take Expedition to the City of Greyhawk for example. Erik Mona wrote it and tried to do Greyhaw...

I notice you quoted everyone else's opinions on Bo9S except mine. Did you intentionally ignore my post? Intentionally single you out for a major ignore-fest ? No. But just because you post doesn't mean you'll necessarily get a response. I dunno about your imagination, but in real life, people vary ...
