... I'm also usually quiet, but some of you might know me. I have a question. I left D&D behind during 3e. Really, I left it behind during 2e, but I at least...

... I had an interesting 'aha' moment when looking over 4e. With limited reading and playing, I was noticing how combat-centric everything was. I'm not a fan...
I agree with everything Kristian said, its still combat heavy clunky D&D but its got a few good tweeks. Low level is still deadly (you do have more hit points...
... question. ... Really it depends on what you're looking for. Myself, I've played D&D for decades, and I've looked over the rules and followed the ...
... I played in John Harper's 4e game at GoPlayNW. It was fun! Way more fun than 3e. I'm looking forward to another game next week with other folks who haven't...
<decloak> So, on that note...who's planning on running any 4th ed games? I'm (mildly) curious on how things play out-- from how I hear, it seems to be more...
... You know, I would love it if people ran some demos at the Monday Night Games, or maybe this Friday at the MSG party? I love to try new games and I'm...
Also a relative lurker (a cousin I think). I have to agree that with any iterative system people tend to carry a lot of pre-version baggage with them when they...
I DMed it last night for Kristian and the rest of my gang. It was the first time I've run D&D in at least twenty years, and I didn't play it much in that time...
Well, It's kinda like this,,, Most of us have been playing a really long time and have played dozens of systems, we can usually tell the direction a particular...
Yes, people can gist what the system might play like, and it is much easier to do that with a fresh system. Mostly because the nifty uniqueness sticks out at...

You said a lethal system and your context was in regards to an equal PC vs an equal NPC. CoC is NOT a lethal system in that context. It is a system obviously...
OK, so one of the problems we had with 3e and 3.5e and well really D&D in general is the rapid separation in 'survivability' between the classes. At mid-levels...
... PC vs an equal NPC. Okay, let me clarify things since you seem to been misunderstanding some points here. First, let's assume that the benchmark value for...
... I have a question. Why are you (as a GM) trying or needing to force your players to PLAY the way you feel they should using rules to enforce it? My...
... I think that games with more detailed combat systems should be less lethal, What's the point of learning all those rules if you're going to be really ...
I can see that me and Kevin disagree with you a fundamental point. The GM should not set the tenor by his lonesome. Well, that is they do have the most power...
Hey folks, hi! I was a part of the group about 3 years ago, wound up taking a break from role playing, and now I'm back, and looking to find a group who's ...
I live by the UW and have the Keep on the Shadowfell adventure. I may be looking to start up a group on Saturdays or Sundays at my apartment if you are...
