343-Explains-Why-I-Won't-Buy-Halo-5

Don't get me wrong, I love D&D as its own kind of kitsch genre, and I see alot of retro support in the form of older editions games and PF, but as far as "D&D the brand" pushing sales of the new shiny edition... I just haven't seen the same kind of support or rapport for this edition. It doesn't...

Awesome! I really enjoyed paizo's savage tide and rise of the runelords. I'll definitely be taking a look at this.

I don't get why this game is still getting attention here. It had like, no splash at all in terms of the interest it generated on release... or after. WotC's fanbase around D&D has just about entirely evaporated (anecdotal observation).

Well, this opens up some "silent antagonist" jokes at least.

A grenade or area spread (like halo 3's shield bubble) wherein time and object physics are slowed down. Opponents, propellents, bullets, and other objects are likewise slowed down. Look sensitivity is reduced to 1, attack speeds rate of fire and reloading are also slower. Call it a...

Yes, I know all of this. Probably better than most. I still think the advice.. is incomplete and misleading, for the reasons I stated. Not being the worst doesn't make it good.

This advice is worthless. Really, it is. What doesn't already fall under common sense is hopelessly vague or oversimplified. I do agree with the premise though. If you can do something better, you should. Expect to see many DnD derivatives being released in the next few years.

Well, first I ask myself why I'm making the character- what do I intend to do with it? What kind of experience do I want to come away with, after playing it? From there, I discern what character concepts/archetypes would apply. And then I level/advance the character according to the concept...

This is boring. This is boring. ... Already done.

Take everything of value to the basement/cellar. Fill up every container I can find with fresh water, and take all the foodstuffs we have with me. Burn the rest of the house down.

I'd probably be armed and armored to the teeth, and carrying more gear than is absolutely necessary. So, extra weapon slots, low running speed and low reload speed. So, heavy weapons, grenades, and a big ass broadsword.

Meh. Don't underestimate how smart a kid can be or what they can comprehend. Of course, you know your kids better than I do... but 3.5 isn't really that much more complex than 4e. Just a different kind of complexity.

101 years. Apparently.
