Apologies for the threadnomancy, but I needed to bump this up, turns out the 'real' Crimson Lancer is nothing like the one posing as him, and need to make the thread more visible.

Did the guy who started this ever make it to '1'?

/tg/. Both are from /tg/, actually. There is much lulz to be had by reading edition war threads. But the quote needs one more sentence, along the lines of "...and when someone says '5th Edition' has nothing to do with Dungeons and Dragons, you'll all say 'but 3rd Edition wasn't Dungeons and Dr...

It was hard for *wizards* to make +1 swords (or most any other magic item), but it was implied that magic weapons could be crafted (NPC style) in other ways.

Oh, PR, that's hardly the only thing that ticks off Dungeons and Dragons fans. The whole "DnD4.0 is the same thing as D&D always has been. See, it still has Magic Missile, which has only changed an eensy bit" mentality is also rather annoying. Toss in throwing out pretty much every ide...

>>Right; XP determines level. Now here’s the same thing, restated: Are you aware that GP is a measure of how powerful a character is? That all characters who have earned [x] GP are supposed to have roughly the same power level? If character 'A' has twice as much GP as character 'B', then character '...

You can also knock enemies unconscious with a fireball, lightning, or even acid attack in DnD4.0.

I'm still trying to guess who this guy is. It seems like Cyber Dave, but his posts aren't nearly as filled with ignorance as that guy's commonly are.

Anyone else want to make a guess who's hiding behind the mask?

And this is why I don't bother bosting...I read this Lago's post before there were any replies, said "Gee, I wonder if I should post asking him to change 'statistics' to 'ability scores'.

Come back half a day later, and it's already been called.

You mean the Hoary Mattekar Robe? I know the game changed alot in the years or two it was still viable after I left (at level 65ish). Absolutely at those levels, everyone with Item Enchantment wore robes (and most every had item enchantment), but there were still plenty of folks that wore armor, esp...

Re: Videogame engines inspired by D&D discussion.

This thread is pretty much here to discuss the tropes certain videro gamez cribbed off of D&D and how it effected the gameplay experience. I'll start with an unobvious one; Quest for Glory. . In Florida on holiday right now, and, as luck would have it, I'm wearing a Quest for Glory t-shirt (swa...

Dang, I came too late to the party...I'm a long time lurker on the boards; I generally only post when I see idiocy unaddressed. This will be an exception. Needless to say, I've seen very little reason to post here, and plenty of reason to post on the boards the Gleemaxian Ze4lots frequent. If I were...

I bet it involves DnD4.0 Sleep (which doesn't put anything to sleep, actually, though folks often confuse it with a spell from Dungeons and Dragons)...4 such wizards, along with the orbs, would have pretty decent chance of shutting down Orcus and all his associates.
