Translation:

“I didn’t care for it. It’s not my thing. Hyperbole, hyperbole, hyperbole.”

(Directed at nobody in particular):

Sigh. Nobody has to like any specific game system. But can we leave the hyperbole and overused fallacies out of it already? It’s been over a year!

I tried 4th… I really did. I view it as a final nail in the coffin of real pen and paper gaming. If I wanted to play a video game, I would. It’s just not the same.

Sort of the reverse. My 4th edition core box set is sitting on the highest and most out of the way shelf I have reserved for graphic novels I’ve already read and roleplaying systems I don’t get to use. I bought them, ran a few sessions with my group, and while I personally don’t hate the system whenever I mention running a one shot (about all I think I’d want to do with it) they (my players) start eying their dice bags. Not out of a desire to role but out of a desire to use their impressive dice collections as bludgeoning weapons.

That and I’m spiteful. They defiled the Realms which was the setting that really made me love D&D. Suffice to say 3.5 and PRPG and 3.5 based rules sets are fine for me and mine.

I’m also quite poor.

i have a good bunc of 3.E and 3.5 plus i have about 98% of the forgotten realms books and it took years for first edition to change to AD&D and then 3. 3.5 and 4th have been steam rolling and im just not a person that has an abundance of money to just through at a new edition with probably a bit more play rules and NEW flashy pictures. ill pass 3.5 works fine. WOTC/Hasbro is in it for sales and appealing to the younger generations. i may get into 4th a bit for forgotten realms stuff, but it will be converted to 3.5. a practice that works just fine doesnt need to be updated and its not a computer with vista. D&D is about using your imagination so use the rules that you are fimiliar and keep the fantasy coming.

and the 4e core plus the Forgotten Realms Campaign setting (the book that made me swear never to buy another 4e book again). Really? Could I ask why? I mean, as a setting fluff book it's not something I'm that interested in buying, but I'm not sure why it would cause someone to swear off the edition.

I have a white box set (plus Eldritch Wizardry), Holmes D&D book, the BE boxed sets, the BECMI boxed sets (though not all the boxes), the rules Cyclopedia, all the orange spined AD&D 1st Edition books (plus the Fiend Folio), all the 2nd Edition hardcovers (except the book of artifacts which I have in softcover), most of the 3e books (but no modules and missing some realms books), a few of the 3.5e books (core + a few scattered books), and the 4e core plus the Forgotten Realms Campaign setting (the book that made me swear never to buy another 4e book again).

Of course this shares my selves with my full shelf of GURPS books, my full shelf of TORG books, several shelves of White Wolf books (oWoD, nWoD, Exalted, Trinity, Aberrant, and Adventure!) with shelves with scattered stuff including Star Wars (WEG 1st and 2nd and all the d20 versions), Battletech, Earthdawn, Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu (including Delta Green), Kult, Over the Edge, Alternity, Paranoia, Indiana Jones, Ars Magica, Cyberpunk 2020, Top Secret (original and SI), Megatraveller, Heaven & Earth, Gamma World, Amazing Engine, Boot Hill, Gangbusters, and some miscellaneous d20 stuff.

My game group is trying out Pathfinder, so I still use my 3.5 books to some extent. I also have my 1st, 2nd, and Basic D&D game books, plus every other game system I've tried over the last 30 years, with no intention of selling any of them. I use most of them as idea resources in my current games. My group has all tried 4E in different venues and we generally have the feeling that only the barest minimum was released to be able to play. Options are actually channels with little ability to move out of a channel once you're in it. When they get around to releasing the rest of the system, we'll review it again.

@ Silent – It’s the internet. You gotta shave off about 30% of the snarkiness of any given post. It’s just a given.

I am an RPG geek. Now. I thought the mention of n00b in reference to my D&D adventures would have been enough. Perhaps next time I clean up my bio, I’ll be more clear.

(Now, if I was hiding behind a 2e book, THEN you could call me out for being tricksy!)

In the end, nope, it doesn’t matter. You’ll notice that I have some posts where some rather n00b things come out of my fingers and out onto the blog and folks school me in the comments. It’s all part of the fun of learning and putting it out there on the intarwebs.

Thanks for not getting defensive as I may have come off a bit harsh. But anyway, I had read your About Me page before and I just read it again. There’s nothing in there that says you’re new to D&D at all. Actually, D&D is only mentioned once near the end. And you say in the first paragraph that you’re an RPG geek. Not to mention the fact that your picture has you posing with a D&D book. Out of all the things you could pick to hide behind for your picture, you chose that. Anyway, I suppose it doesn’t really matter. It just surprised me when I found out this was a new thing for you because you post about it a lot and I found this site through D&D channels. Plus, here you are calling out Shelly when she’s got much more XP with D&D than you do. I just assumed that you had been a gamer for years. Btw, I’m not a fan of Shelly either, but it’s nothing personal.

Again, sorry if this comes off harsh, but well, it’s the internet….
