well i find you and all the members of holo to be nothing more then a scuzz bucket of turds, probally in rl i'd beat your sorry ass in a arm wrestling match any how, and maybe tear your ligament in the process, any ways, there's no lvl to get on in these games, its either you play hard core and neglect other things to do in life, or you login for hours on end playing in a fantasy world that gets you nothing in return in real life, but i'm here for fun as others are, so there is no lvl field bro chacho, but have fun knuckle, i know a many are working hard on gaining lvls to hunt your ass down as many of others in holo

but yea i play with my family, good family time and cheap if want to role play for a few hours without spending money at the movies ect

You sound like a very upset nerd, sorry that your rage is boiling over into other forums. I've played d&d and enjoy it immensely, just because I can play computer games with a thick skin is hardly grounds to attempt to judge someones RL interests and hobbies(d&d a RL interest oh teh irons).

TBH as much as people are hatin' on 4E, it's simplicity would be better for younger kids, which I think is what they were going for.

well the premise of everything in wow is taken from 3.0/3.5 edition, and the more i play ect, i notice that they ripped every idea out of both those editions, happy me though on my ranger just got new +2 ac ring, and masterwork battle axe +1 with 1d6 fire dmg, heh, over all dnd is alot of fun for those who play, sometimes when we do play its a drag for me, but i mainly enjoy the fights, and figuring out quest ect

I don't remember what the editions were called but i use to play d & d when i was younger.. was a good time...

friend been trying to get me back into his group he has.. might give that a go lol.. kinda lost touch with the group cuz of work

hmm, well seems like my wife may have thrown out my dnd stuff so i may shell out and buy 4th edition ...if its easier then thats good because my kids are only 10 and i dont want them bogged own with too much information ...just roll and move on type of a deal..... u guys think i should give them a guide like a NPC? or something? i dont know how else to sorta nudge them into the right direction..any thoughts on NPC?

2nd edition did have a lot of rules but you can always edit them to suit your needs. I did remember my dad just let me watch when I was 4 or 5 when he'd have the guys over for his campaign on saturday night I'd pass out at 2 or 3 in the morning just excited to watch them play. When I was 8 or 9 he explained the rules to me and I'd say by far the hardest thing to grasp was THAC0 and it didn't take me long to figure that out either once you got to fight a few monsters. The most important aspect to the game is not coddling newbies, make them think on their feet. Reroll characters from dying at level 1. Don't give them free passes to fuck up. Always feel a lot more accomplishment solving a puzzle or beating a monster when you have literally seconds to say what action your character can take before you lose your turn or a pressure trap crushes your body.

just got my hands on this STACK of (mostly 3rd ed) books that have been floating since my old DM disappeared (wru Bighugz [SZ]) so definently gonna dust em off and start a campaign this winter. hit me up if you're near the brass city aka that dirty water aka waterbury & wanna play

I still have at home my old original Monster Manual (has red dragon on it I think), Fiend Folio (sp?), Players Handbook, DM Guide and several of those little pewter characters hand painted no less. My 10 yr old son sees them on my bookshelf at home and looks through them every so often.

I think I got those back in 78 or 79 I think. Good times.
