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.

I think 4E would make the basis of a pretty interesting Supers game with some reskinning.  I used to run a game inspried by DC Comics Creature Commandos and it worked great for that.

Quote from: Scrivener of Doom;1103853It's definitely not dead even though it is barely discussed online.

I'm the unofficial keeper of the offline tools and I'm sending out links 10-15 times each month. Sure, I cant tell who actually ends up playing but more than half say they're desperate for the links because they're either running a 4E game or about to run one (as opposed to simply requesting the links without explanation).

Oh awesome. My group and I made excellent use of them last year. Thanks for your work!
Battle doesn\'t need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don\'t ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don\'t ask why I fight.

There are nice pieces of art within the books for D & D 4th Edition.  Perhaps not all of the art is stellar, but some of it is good.
I need you to roll a perception check.....

You're most welcome. Glad you had some fun with it!

In my earlier post, I mentioned sending out links 10-15 times a month. In the past few weeks (four or so), that's how many links I've been sending out a week. Something seems to have triggered interest in 4E again.
Cheers

Quote from: Haffrung;1103691Spell/power cards help fix the issue, why is why an RPG publisher with an instructional design professional on staff would make those cards a core part of the product (of course grognards hate that shit, because it's new and efficient).

Spell cards have been around for 27 years since the 2e days.

2e, been thinking of your needs while tapdancing on your table's grognard's last nerve since before those kids on your lawn were born. :p

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.
