I mean, how can I not want to experience the refreshing splendor of Illithid Brain Juice?Jayme Lynn Blaschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919766841748858790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598697.post-32646915326255891712009-09-23T15:19:02.208-05:002009-09-23T15:19:02.208-05:00The 4th edition does seem much more video-gamish (...The 4th edition does seem much more video-gamish (notice the neologism I just made up). Characters have all sorts of inherent powers just for being who and what they are. There are relatively huge hit point numbers for characters, and advancement seems to be much faster.<br /><br />Meh.

I briefly dabbled with second edition, but after blowing a bit of dough on the new Player's Handbook and a couple of supplementary titles, I just couldn't justify the switch.

Our group ranges in age from 45 to 14.Not Importanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307127026012212518noreply@blogger.com
