  1. @VanityGames You hashtagged it and everything, so I suppose so.
  2. @TheOtherTracy @digitaldraco @WolfSamurai Legit.
  3. @Bekcaboo Trade it for lots of cheaper booze.
  4. @symatt Why wouldn't they? #dndnext
  5. @oldbie It worked fine for me at 3am last night, I'm guessing the servers are still being slammed. #dndnext
  6. @MaxAcree No. #DnD
  7. @AlchemicFox Honestly, sometimes you just want a mindless explosionfest, manytimes you want more. 4e lets you do both in the same campaign.
  8. @phaezen @JaredvonHindman @Bartoneus The complexity really isn't in the characters as in the bookkeeping Hope you have enough charges...
  9. @symatt Except if it isn't anything much like the version you prefer but is okay to hate. #dndnext #1e #dndnext
  10. @JaredvonHindman @Bartoneus I don't, I just think there is kind of a expectation that this is going to be simpler, when it is different.
  11. @AlchemicFox That argument always baffled me... There is nothing about RP in the rules, 4e is not a role-playing game.
  12. @TheAngryDM @VanityGames Sounds like my kind of vacation.
  13. @JaredvonHindman @Bartoneus I feel like they bash on 4e complexity, but they're just changing the positioning of the complexity.
  14. @AlchemicFox I'm a blended guy. Which is part of the appeal of 4e. Clearly defined combat rules, no restrictions set on my RP by the system.
  15. @Bartoneus @JaredvonHindman @loganbonner If people are going to ignore that and encumbrance why even waste the space on them in a PT? #dnd
  16. @Bartoneus @JaredvonHindman @loganbonner You forget the part where you have to have a healer's kit and use charges to actually use them.
  17. @AlchemicFox Eh. That is just as easily done in 4e. I don't know why some people get so literal-minded. Good DMs reward creativity.
  18. @AlchemicFox And I really want to stay out of the debate, because response is generally adoring squee.
  19. @AlchemicFox They are taking away complexity they say, but healing requires 1/level hit dice which you need charges from a Healer's kit for.
  20. @AlchemicFox I skimmed the rules and peeked at the character sheets, and it feels like a retroclone to me. The 5min workday is still here.
