    D&D General Why is D&D 4E a "tactical" game?

    I disagree as my experience was with seasoned wargamers who saw 4e as a wargame within an rpg.

    D&D General Why is D&D 4E a "tactical" game?

    It was more of tweaking the party to be in tune with each other and fight as a whole. Having played in multiple D&D Encounter sessions, I watched parties get schooled because they were not a cohesive fighting unit. I played on teams that were tuned/cohesive and they were much more successful...

    D&D General Why is D&D 4E a "tactical" game?

    I've always seen 4e as closing the loop - back to Chain Mail. 4e is a tactical set of combat rules. Players must be engaged, studying the map as the players have chances for interrupts and reactions. 4e (IMO) is not for the casual role player - designed more for a wargamer.

    Paizo Pathfinder Online To Shut Down November 28th

    I saw a demo of the software at Gencon one year. I wasn't aware it was still around/when it went live. I knew it was buggy (what I saw at Gencon).

    D&D General How many hours of D&D would you say you have played in your entire life?

    I have been playing D&D since 1975. Let's say twice a month for a six hour minimum time slot each. That's 12 hours a month, 144 hours a year, for 46 years is 6,624. That does not include pick-up games, convention games, D&D encounters/Living Forgotten Realms, etc. More fun to consider that I...

    D&D General How has gaming impacted your life?

    Made me the person I am today. Helped me get through a less than ideal home life growing up. I've made a lot of friends over the years (many who I still game/communicate with), helped shape my thought process, values, and goals in life.

    D&D General Running "Kingdom of the Ghouls" (Dungeon #70)

    I'm not aware of 5e having any mass combat rules. Just tweak as needed for the Battle System. Enjoy!

    D&D General Running "Kingdom of the Ghouls" (Dungeon #70)

    I always looked at this adventure as a "geopolitical" adventure. The PC need to build the refugee force and then move to liberate their homelands. For the mass combat, I used the old AD&D Battlesystem rules for combat. It's a fun adventure with lots of hooks for the PC to address.

    D&D 5E [Merged] Candlekeep Mysteries Author Speaks Out On WotC's Cuts To Adventure

    Not sure what contractual obligations WotC had with the writer. Usually, the publisher has final say. With that said, I think WotC should have given a heads-up to the writer that content had been adjusted/dropped. A simple professional courtesy.
