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.

D&D 5th Edition Haiku Throwdown

So, people, if you're pissed off with what you've heard about the 4th edition -what do you want for the 5th Edition in terms of RULES, SETTING or FEEL.

Now I know y'all have the souls of poets, so please feel free to express yourselves in the form of Haiku

Mine's a bit crap -

deep in the forest
eager farmboys far from home
it's not Exalted


(or maybe that's a bit 'A+ Fantasy')

desperate heroes
the enemy approaches
we have 10' poles


See, I'm awful !

(Haiku is usually a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, I think)

Bradford C. Walker

A $20 PHB with nothing but the rules needed to play, one race (Humans) and three classes (Fighter, Rogue, Sorceror).  A $40 DMG that has all of the rules needed to run the game.  A $30 MM that has all of the iconic monsters needed.

All other races and classes are setting-specific and thus confined to setting supplements.

Sean

races and classes
other than those in the core
buy another book


I wanted 4x, a bit like Rolemaster express at a similar price, it ain't gonna happen, so for 5x:

cheaper basic set
one book for the setting and
one for the system

Blackleaf

Dungeons & Dragons
New editions not for me
Fonzie jumped the shark

Dr Rotwang!

A fifth edition
Will not replace the books I use
Castles And Crusades

A fifth edition?
You have more money than sense
Wizards call the tune
The past lives on in your front room
The poor still weak the rich still rule
History lives in the books at home
The books at home

Gang of Four

"Eladrin" sounds like
Viagra for designers
Choke on it, Noonan
Ich habe mir schon sehr lange keine Gedanken mehr über Bleistifte gemacht.--Settembrini

what a good start
basho, byron, baudelaire
spinning in the grave



c'mon the rest of you :)

Children mob the shops
Buying shiny books and dice
Market expansion!

The children construct
Network externalities
D&D hits gold....

Fails the poetry form test
It's 5-7-5!
The past lives on in your front room
The poor still weak the rich still rule
History lives in the books at home
The books at home

Bradford C. Walker

Apathetic I
Post as I desire on
What delights me now.

droog

A little better
But please fix the middle line
Still six syllables
The past lives on in your front room
The poor still weak the rich still rule
History lives in the books at home
The books at home
