Sausage Fest: Fourth Edition.

[Losfer]

Anyone else EXCITED AS FUCK about Dungeons & Dragons: 4th Edition?

At first I was kinda skeptical and some of the things I have seen and heard do not sound like good choices.  IE -- The termination of CRs.  ...But a few things sound pretty cool, like new rules on levelling up and down monsters to provide differing challenges, new "Dragonborn" race, and new ways of multiclassing.

I haven't played D&D in years, but I may have to seek out some folks if 4E ends up being something that might be fun and not the mess I really hope it's not.

I only played the paper version once, and have always wanted to play more.  I just don't have any friends who I see offline who play it.  Or maybe they just don't want to admit it... ;)

I'm pretty excited about it. I only get to play a few times a year, but I still like it when I do. Some of the things I've seen for 4th edition are really cool. The revamped magic system, skill groups, and the new encounter system (where encounters are designed around parties of diverse monsters that work together to create a tough skirmish) are some of my most anticipated changes. I don't like that they've cut a lot of the more social classes out of the core PHB. The big problem that I've noticed is everything is defined in terms of comabt now. I just hope the game doesn't turn into hack n' slash with dice and paper. I tend to run a lot of heavy storytelling in my games. There is easily as much time spent outside of combat as there is spent in combat

I'm reading the PHB right now. So far, so good. Some changes are downright strange but I think I'll get used to them. I just love people bitching about the skill system. These are probably the same people that bitched about the skill changes from 2e to 3e (personally 3e had way too many skills but since 2e required you to give your DM a handjob to know more than how to tie your shoes I overlooked it quite easily), when the skills in 4e are really a much better thought out version of the 2e skill system.

I am currently trying to find a group to play with. I haven't played in a long long time, and this seems like a good time to get back into it.

[DM Kyle E. Miller]

I doubt I'll be changing over, at least for a long while. I've heard some nasty things about 4th edition, and there are classes absent from the PHB. A second one is going to be released with the rest of the classes, or so I've heard, maybe a year later.

Wizards are supposed to be generous.
The Wizards of the Coast are corrupt.

[Adapheon]

I haven't read all the new books but I can say the missing stuff as compared to 3e really doesn't matter IMO. No one played gnomes and monks weren't ever the most popular classes. Actually considering the ridiculous amount of classes that they released in 3e the basica phb could be considered leaving out classes as well. I think the Warlock and Warlord classes stand up pretty well compared to if they just used the same basic races/classes from 3e.

I haven't actually played yet though, so that's the kicker. I'll leave all final conclusions until I actually get to bash the hell out of a goblin.

If we can somehow find the time, and Eve either A) Doesnt find out or B) doesnt give me loads of shit.....i MAY consider playing.

Seeing as how I've never played D&D, I am unawares as to what the major differences between the editions, but I hear 4th is supposed to be good for beginners and vets alike.

We should all play a game over Vent sometime.

www.meetup.com is a good place to find a gaming group. I'm pretty heavily into board games (the most nerdy gaming hobby) and I've had great luck meeting people to play with. Then again, I live in Chicago. But, depending on where you live, it's pretty cool.

I cant tell if you're serious or not. If you are.....FUCK YES, I demand John play too.

Fuck no I'm not serious. :P  I thought the Vent part gave that way.

It's okay, Dade, I'll play with you (ooer).  I'm also always a Cleric, so you don't need to try and track one down.  :P
