Thank again :)
Absolutely! I got MoI and the Rules Compendium for less than $20 for both! An awesome deal (plus, I really like 4E!)
I'm making some money hawking off my old books, and I'm strongly considering selling my Dragon and Dungeon archive!
I have Dragon issues 274-359: any takers?
I want to say thank you to 4e. Finally, an RPG I can run without having an aneurysm! Best $80 I've ever spent. In the past year :P

I had this whole post formulated about grammar and punctuation, but I kept coming back to the whole 'don't post insults' guidelines so I decided against posting it.
Instead, might I suggest you save posts like this for the "No Inherent Value" forum?
Just a thought.
Thanks 4E for giving yet another fun filled session. Thanks for getting me excited about DMing again. Thanks for making it so easy , I can pukk out a huge random encounter from out of thin air like I used to do way back in 1st edition and OD&D.

Seconded. For the first time in years, we've been able to sit down on random nights and just start rolling dice and having fun. The best thing is, some of our group have been able to run satisfying sessions on the fly, having NEVER ran a game before.

Thirded!
Our group is having a blast with 4E. Best $$$ we ever spent! With the streamlined rules, we've actually been able to roleplay more and get into some fun character development. Thanks 4E!

I've played several sessions as of yet. But, this weekend is going to be our first full-blown session to kick off our new 4th Edition Eberron campaign! Woot! Can't wait!
Why does not everybody see that the creation of 4e was great for almost everybody? It shook up the industry. People who are ready for a change got 4e. People who wanted to improve 3.5 got PfRPG. People who want 3.5 still got it and an excuse to stop the madness of collecting. People who like to house-rule got a hayday of mayhem and rule speculation. People who want to argue got to argue. Heck, it probably helped OSRIC somehow. And finally us fence sitters got to be amused by the flame wars.
Alright maybe the 3PPs are up in the air right now, but I would beat that only 5% of the gamer population does not have things better.
EDIT: OK, FLGS might suffer but once they got rid of their back log of 3.5 stuff they should see stabilized inventory and sales.

Move over, I am climbing into that boat with you.

I am not convinced but willing to wait and see how this affects the industry in years to come.

Man, that's hilarious, and I know I'm being silly...
Is that "I can _puke_ out a huge random encounter..." or "pull out"...?
ROTFLMAO sophomorically!

Fear. We old folks who are embittered because we don't want to convert realize how foolish we were when we laughed at the people who refused to "upgrade" to 3rd ed (or 2nd ed, for that matter) and also feel left out. We also are irritated that this new generation of kids who are so readily jumping to 4th ed are being just as foolish as we were by pointing at *us* and laughing.
Quite frankly, it's like when you realize that today's key demographic thinks of Nirvana as classic rock.
Whether it's a financial reason or just plain preference, we old folks are no longer supported and feel like we're being left behind (though that's not the intent).
We're realizing that we're all growed up, a little wiser with our money and time (ie - we don't have to buy *every* new supplement for *every* new game), and no one cares what we think anymore. Our demographic is no longer the key to financial success, and we don't like that feeling.
It's the same old story it's always been: the old folks are bitter and outdated, and the young kids are gullible and don't know the value of a dollar.
So I'm gonna hitch up my pants, tell the kids they can play 4th ed 'til they rot their brains out, yell at them to get the hell off my lawn, and then I'll go make a Half-Orc Assassin running around the Forgotten Realms pre-kaboom.
Hell, I may even make a house rule that says I get XP for finding gold...
(Puts false teeth in mouth) Heck I remember back in the good ole days (odd 7) when a gal-darn cleric was the only healer in the party! And a down right good won at that! Now a dang ole fighter can heal his own self?! Can't belive it no sire! 3.5, now thats the one fer me.
Bandit of LV
I remember when Clerics were the only ones that could heal... and when Druids were an alternate path... And Paladins were ridiculed for... well... They're still more or less ridiculed.
But yes. Thank you, 4th Edition. Thank you for being a new incarnation to liven up the style, settings, and rules. Thank you for stirring some of us up and pushing a few of us into being Codgers. Thank you, 4E for making us all remember what gaming is really about: Having a good time with our friends that doesn't involve someone getting seriously injured in a funy maner.... Usually.

Do you have your Texas Instruments Graphic Calculator and your calculus notes handy?
Wooooo! That's what I'm talking about! D&D when it was a pain in the neck to figure out! Give me rules so detailed I have to question what a bec-de-fauchard-fork-guisarme-glaive is and why it does the same exact thing a Halberd does for damage, reach, and style!

Well its supposed to be 'Pull' but making it into 'puke' gives it all kinds of randy awesomness!!

You're welcome. I take pride in the fact that I can well represent the players of 3.5 with polite debate. I would rather not argue with you over an inane post, but you consistently provoke others into defending themselves.
At this point, unless you post something related to the thread, I will not reply further to your comments.
EDIT: If you did not mean your comments as an insult, I apologize.
Also, are we allowed to say "asshat"? I put "cock-fighting" in a thread about pirate games and it got changed...
