@chaksheba

exactly, I enjoy both 3rd and 4th editions, the thing is that a lot of people just don't like change.

[chaksheba]

@synjakbeta I like it also. So many complain about it. They are the same that will complain about 5th Ed.

They just changed "I ran out of spells" to "I ran out of healing surges."

@GMCiaramella 11 months after this convention, they announce gleemax is being shut down to focus on their "digital content" of D and D insider, a good portion of IT having not even materialized to vapor-ware level, 4 years after the fact.

I'm not sure what's worse. Having things declared and then recended upon, or the fact that what they had to retract was in some part thanks to sticking with a -paid- service. These books are $25 and up a piece.

They just /had/ to dump open content for paid?

[GMCiaramella]

It is amusing, in hindsight... how little of the stuff these guys promised for 4e, actually happened... pfft.

...why was this comment hidden as spam? I disagree with him about DnD sucking (Well...3.5 at least. 4e is a disgrace to the name), but he didn't say anything abusive to anyone, just said that he doesn't like 4e. Rent a clue, people.

@dasgregorian

Exactly right.

I managed to DM 3.5 just fine for a group of kids aged 9-11. If the Dungeon Master knows the rules it's really easy to keep the rest flowing quite nicely.

I have never played other DnD editions, and I now play the 4th edition,you dont need a laptop to play it ,just the books, all tht DnD Insider shit that they keep saying is not necessary,only of course If you lack of imagination or If you are so lazy to use a pencil,THEN YOU NEED DnD INSIDER,OTHERWHISE NOT.I like this game, every little bit,DnD is what you make, because remember what the books say,the rules are "just a guide"

4th edition sucks bad. I used to play 3.0 then they came out with 3.5 so I adapted.Then 4th which I found out is crap. That's when I discovered Hero System. The best Role playing game ever made in my opinion. Check it out don't waste your time with Dnd. Trust me it's worth it.
