This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

[4e] And now, let's introduce the splats...

Looks like 4e will have a whole range of splatbooks, judging by the upcoming Player's Handbook Races: Dragonborn.

What do you guys think? Good thing, bad thing?

If you are playing the game, more content is always good.

If you are not really involved with playing the game your opinion can't possibly matter.

This goes for all possible games.

Well, let's just stretch that logic even further and just say that no one's opinion matters on any subject.

And the previous thought from that source, that if you are not playing 4E, then you aren't actually having fun gaming.

My opinion matters to me, in fact it's the only opinion that always does although sometimes people are reasonable and intelligent enough to deserve consideration.

Ho-oh, doesn't that mean you're not gaming at all? Color me confused! ;)

Nobody has ever said or even implied any of these things, but you guys squeal about them incessantly. All I can say is- you obviously feel like you've been hurt by the existence of a game, and you've been hurt by it's incredible success. I'm going to go ahead and apologize for that now.

I am sorry.

I am sorry D&D4e is doing great, and I am sorry that it actually is a lot of fun, and also I apologize that nobody in the world is listening to you or taking any of you guys seriously here.

And I just realized I am trying to reason with a calvacade of morons.

Let's just say AM that my OP actually asks a plain question: 4e with splats, good thing or bad thing?

You answered the question with your first sentence but decided to enter into troll territory with your second.

You're the one who's a jackass here, to begin with. So I have to ask again: do you feel so insecure about your game choices that you have to attack anybody who disagrees with you?

You'd have to ask Abyssal Maw. He's the one who first uttered the declaration.

Of course, he seems to be getting a bit irritable that his own statements are coming home to haunt him...  :D

To actually answer the original question.  Sweet!  That means I can ignore the books focused on races I don't care about.  Sounds like a winning idea to me.

Quote from: Abyssal Maw;299344And I just realized I am trying to reason with a calvacade of morons.

So the difference between the rest of us "morons" here, and you, is that we're happy to be here and you're getting all butthurt.  If the game is so successful why the fuck do you care if some people just don't like it?

Now when I read my shiny new copy of PHB 4e I get to constantly hope I don't meet players like you who care way too fucking much what other people think and then act like they don't.

Link the statement shithead, and maybe I can provide some context!

I'm not butthurt at all. I literally have nothing to complain about. I game 3x a week and really enjoy what I do. The only thing I worry about is whether too many people show up and I have to recruit 5 DMs instead of 4 for a gamenight.

I feel sorry for you guys- I feel sorry for the abandonment of this community to griefers and non-gamers.. Already this place is in the process of abandonment. People are leaving for the other board, and the floppers are taking over.

I don't think that the splats will actually help 4E be either more popular or more financially successful than it already is. That said, the size and price range of these splatbooks seems to be pretty good because $9.99 for 32 pages seems to be pretty reasonable.

Disagrees on what? I was attacked, I responded and I do in fact think you guys are morons. (not really an opinion at this point). What is the actual issue?
