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.

4th edition has an Endgame?

Quote from: Bloody Stupid Johnson;380144Well, lack of plot aside I thought H 2 was actually interesting/watchable whereas H5 was more dull.
Highlander 2 actually has quite a few scenes that have cool factor, its just that they don't assemble into a coherent plot (And the acting was execrable). Or rather there's 2 plots going on side by side, the alien scientist that created the Shield being hunted by his people + the highlander plot. And has horrible continuity issues like Ramirez and Connor being beamed to Earth at the same time, or Connor being called Connor rather than by his alias Nash. Or the way they off-handedly killed off the romantic lead in the first movie, or Ramirez being resurrected randomly, or ...

OK you got me, Highlander 2 was worse.


Edit: also, is it ironic we're having a Highlander discussion in a thread titled Endgame, same as highlander 4?..

Heh, odd coincidence.

Anyway, I'll concede Highlander 5 was dulllll...but it was also hard to watch because they had to blur so much to make the actors look convincingly like their characters of the prior millenium.

Quote from: Lawbag;380068From a business perspective, WOTC appear to have no future plan for the game other than bringing out the odd hardback WorldBook, and a single adventure to support it. It would appear their aim is to bring out as many iterations of the DMG and PH as possible as well as the sequels.

You're leaving out DDI, miniatures, the Essentials line, non-setting specific modules, themed DM books, and "genre" boxed sets like Gamma World.

Plus the DMG 3, PHB 4, Adventurer's Vault 3, a Feywild book, etc. Which will be back on the schedule if Essentials reaches whatever numbers they're hoping for, and which probably won't be back on the schedule otherwise.

Well DMG 3 and PHB 4 were covered by Lawbag's post, but I agree, he left way too many things aside in writing his post.

Of course 4e has an endgame.  All boardgames do.

More like a 'pop'.

But what's the endgame to Monopoly? It seems to have had some legs.
