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.

What will happen to the fora if 4e does just fine and there's nothing to bitch about?

Sorry! Just tired of seeing such an upheaval so long before the actual release...

I'm already sick of 4E, and it has nothing to do with the game! :D

The War would have to go back into full swing. Otherwise we'd be stuck talking about RPGs. :)

 There are other RPGs than D&D out there. Games like : HERO, Rifts, FtA, TRAVELLER, SERENITY,  and oh yeah...GURPS.

It seems to me there's more people who are upbeat (or at least open minded) about 4E here than detractors. Besides, anything is better than last weeks shitfest, which had bollock all to do with D&D in any incarnation.

I'm sure someone will be ranting and frothing about something. This is the internet, after all. :pundit:

Are you implying that he inferred that from your post?  ;)

James McMurray

Are you saying that he said what I think he said, or that I said what he thinks I said?

Or in other words: I can't think of any other reason he'd have quoted me before making a statement regarding there being other games than D&D. It's odd because the last two threads I've started here have been about other games than D&D.

Maybe he just wanted a reason to mention gurps? :)

James J Skach

Yeah, because, you know, speculating about 4th Edition isn't talking about RPG's, right?

Should we move all discussion of "industry" aspects of 4e to the off topic discussion group next? Shouldn't this thread be in Off Topic? It's not even about 4th Edition - it's about forums!

Or maybe Kyle can give us a 1000 word essay on how we are supposed to, and not supposed to, talk about new editions coming out - a sort of Menifesto of Future Editions.

And then - we can post in all the threads how this topic is so not worth the attention that we felt the need to post that very fact...in a thread...about the topic.

But I have to say clash - starting an entire thread to complain about a subject you don't want to talk about takes that aspect to a whole other level.

Sorry! I just miss reading and commenting on threads, and there's nothing I want to read or am qualified to comment on in 4e threads.

I think I'm just feeling left out is all! :P

My prediction - 4e will do just fine and there will be still plenty of things to bitch about.

Trust me. :p

PS: Also there will be 5e...

It's true, we haven't bitched about GURPS in forever. Roll under? Bwahahaha. Totally broken, etc. etc.
