Limit Break Dancing (He/They)
In the spirit of the new management, I thought it would be fun to discuss the combining of 4E with OD&D. I concede that there are two very different points of view on this topic, and I'd like to hear from 'em both!
For the 4E lovers, if you were going to houserule OD&D, and if you could only use three elements from 4th Edition, which three would you choose? What three rules, classes, races, monsters, dice mechanics, weapons, or features would you use to convert your OD&D game into the Best Game Evar?
For the 4E haters, if you were going to houserule OD&D in such a way as to make it absolutely and completely unplayable on any level, which three would you choose? What three components of 4E would destroy all that you love about OD&D forever? Remember, you have to limit yourself to only three elements of the 4E game, such as rules, classes, races, monsters, dice mechanics, weapons, or features.
Remember kids, only three. And those clever responses of "the three core books," "everything, everything, and everything," and so forth are not particularly clever, after all. We looked into it, and discovered that they are actually quite lame. So don't be lame, mkay?
