Jumping in late to the is this or isn't this D&D thing; I feel it's mainly due to using 4e. I'm not gonna totally bash 4e, it has it's place and it's high points but it is a battle/skirmish/hacknslash style setup. Sark's deep story elements would be much better utilized if the group would go ahead and swap over to AD&D (2e) like they keep saying they will. 4e downplays role-playing & creativity I think.

I finally started playing D&D Encounters also after not being able to get a regular group together. It's fun and convenient. Luckily where I play it's actually mostly people 30+ with a few mid 20s. No kids other than the couple people who bring their teens along to play with them (like I did).Yeah I agree the way Encounters is set up & 4e in general it's more a battle/skirmish game than an RPG. It's all about beat these bad guys 7 get to the next bad guys. With those drawbacks I still enjoy it and look forward to playing each week. Hopefully I will be able to use the experience to spin off into a home game with some people I meet at Encounters.

I guess you haven't seen the stupid retrotrend in tape releases. Lots of underground bands are releasing cassettes again. I have no idea why but it's quite popular.

???1 sided / 1 color shirts cost maybe $3 to make + $3-4 to ship so ONLY $20???

anyone playing?

check this out too http://www.wizards.com/dnd/event.aspx?x=dnd/4new/event/dndencounters it's a weekly game sponsored by Wizards of the Coast. Held Wednesday nights at local game or comic shops.

cute replies with the rules but hardly fitting as they have explained multiple times they use house rules

Cool but ultimately disappointed by this design

Nice I'm only at 32 Devout Cleric. good game despite the cash shop junk

Argh it's the elevator all over again! I know D&D is about story-telling not JUST hack-n-slash but after that last batch of high action episodes these last 2 were painful to listen to. Cheers to the only RPer in the group Sir Richard!

Immediately after news released that Hasbro is contesting who owns the rights. Doubt we'll see anything soon.

2e (or 2.5e i guess) had a handbook for playing humanoid characters but i don't remember if there was anything like dragonborn in it

How did you allow a player to roll a paladin without choosing a deity?! pfft. Where were his divine powers coming from? haha Gotta know if any of that was prethought or just Sark plot-armoring Gerry.

Hah yeah loved that one, carried it around in the pocket of my shirt for like a year back in high school.

So if (WHEN) you switch to 2nd Edition are you going to try and "downgrade" the current characters or start a new campaign from lv1? Can't wait to see the forums explode with "WTF is THAC0?!".

WOW! and finally someone that doesnt try to make the characters look like the players

well considering this quest is to save the entire planet and beyond i dont think its really a side mission

The Collectors "base" is mostly on the surface with some parts extending underwater. The refuge dwelling was an underwater dome. Any structures they've been in that are under the surface are air filled via mechanised or magical means.

somebody clever do a Blackee ad for it...

Coming this fall on RealTV

hahaha hey dickheads want to play hahaha way to break the ice

another podcast that i wont mention AGAIN did this, kickstarter 1000$ to play fucking crazy 2 people did it

As a barbarian shouldn't Amarth Amon be required to be chaotic? Or did they change that alignement rule? The whole party has played outside their supposed alignments (except El Ryan) pretty much the entire campaign. Amarth the most extreme example. But eh who cares it's fun, I love him being a total psycho... just make them all change to Chaotic Neutral and be done with it.

Is Sir Richard starting at lv1 or have you leveled him to match the group?

I saw the Pathfinder box at my lcbs for $40. Amazon win heh.
