The fact that Steve is up that early today is a sign of impending DOOM!!!! HIDE THE ANIMALS AND CHILDREN

Is it a sign of impending doom for the rest of us, or is it a sign of a very busy work day for you?

<t>Sorry, Steve. I didn't mean to imply the whole thing with the artwork and you guys. I know that you're not the type to go doing that, but I noticed that trend that other gaming company that shall not be named. Call it yet another of the factors that attracted me to C&C. Color artwork is alway...

Troll Lord wrote: What marks new editions is the fundamentals begin to change. Nothing fundamental has changed the game. Steve Sadly, the trend of late in terms of new editions has amounted to complete re-writes of the rules. Part of this has come out of carelessness on the part of the publisher, i...

Yeah, I know what you're saying. Part of my reason for getting away from 3.x was that I thought there were too many options, leaving far too much room for meta-gaming and min/maxing. I'd be curious to see how much this system opens players up to that sort of thing.

<t>I have one character using the first method (true multi-classing) in my campaign. This was the method first put forth in The Crusader, and to this point, it's worked fine. No problems. I'm definitely curious about the class-and-a-half option. I really like the ideas I've seen put forward there. O...

<t>I like the idea of the summary to your players.<br/> <br/> As far as some of your concerns go, I wouldn't worry too much. Case in point, the illusionist. I have no problems if the party wants to take a back-up healer so that the cleric isn't doing it all. I don't think it's a bad idea at all to b...

Good job, Tree. Nice to see somebody helping those folks out.

<t>Is the city-state on a river/major waterway? It might be fun to have a "Death on the Nile" type adventure. They get on the boat for whatever reason (deliver an important communique to an ally, official request for help etc.) and you find out that there's an emissary from the other side on board a...

Sorry but I don't see any rpg's ever "exploding" like the original.

Yeah, I have to agree with this. The novelty of the game long since wore off. Now it's to us curmudgeons to keep the industry alive, but I really don't see the explosion as it happened when I was a kid.

<t>I'd also look at it from the standpoint that if the paladin already knows that the drow in that world are evil, he's already got the hair-trigger thing going. If the guy blinks wrong, he's going to get skewered. I'm totally on the side of the player/paladin on this one. Kudos to him for playing t...

Pffft. This is nothing. Get people going on the merits of one multi classing method vs another. That goes on forever!

LOL. That one could get ugly.
