Had an Aussie buddy of mine give me the .pdf's. I've heard alot of complaints about it from the gyus I know in the IT world that still play. I doubt I'll play that version, when I've got a lot of older stuff around, as well as the 3.5 d20 rules.

4th edition sucks but I'm judging the books solely by their covers. The rulebooks and supplements used to have outstanding cover art. the most recent rulebook makes me think that the Wizards RPG Team needs a new art director.

I think Amnorix has played this, and is a big fan.
I was a big D&D geek back in the day; I had no idea the game was still going strong. |

I liked Jeff Easley's paintings the most. Clyde Caldwell paints women alot better though. Dragora's Dungeon is my favorite of Caldwell's paintings. Larry Elmore did alot of great work for D&D covers also.

Midnight Douchebag is our "usol", we couldn't have a game without him. He brags about all the girls he's doing, but in reality, he's playing D&D with us. Dude runs two characters, an 8th level Magic User that he role-plays with a lisp, and a gay assassin, that he always jokes around with callin' him an Ass-Ass-IN! (Punctuated with a pelvic thrust that just about knocked over my freakin' Dr. Pepper last Friday night).

I usually play female characters myself, but since I'm hetero, I always play them lesbian. Not that we ever go indepth with descriptions of character sex anyway ("I buy a hooker for the evening ... morning comes" - yes, I know there's a pun waiting to be exploited there!), but if a DM ever did get it into his mind to make it more explicit than that, I just couldn't see myself sitting there and describing or imagining my character doing a dude. Of course, if the DM did get it into his mind to make it more explicit than that, I'd probably feel obliged to inform him that women also exist in the real world, then take my leave of the game ... unless the DM is female and hot (yes, they do exist among D&D gamers), in which case it might be fun!

I've always been a fan of 2.0 personally. My friend is starting up a 3.5 though, so i'll jump into that for sure. From what I've read of 4.0, I didn't like it. I'm not sure how it will actually handle until it's played, though.

On a side note, I once DM'd a game where the player running the thief character tried to hide in shadows, forgetting he also carrying the torch!

I remember running a Viking type, first time I ever played. Prayed to Thor, rolled double-0 and the DM gave my a hammer. Got caught in a dungeon fighting ghouls, and tried to escape through the ceiling. Made a hole just big enough for the hammer and my arm, knocked myself out, became a ghoul...
