I'm an avid gamer, and a longtime Dungeons & Dragons fan. I think its latest incarnation, D&D 4e, is not only the best one to date, but one of the best games out there. Yet, as much as I enjoy it, I know there is still much room to improve. That's why I've decided to write this blog.
My goal, my Main Quest if you prefer, will be to take a deep look at every aspect of the game's rules, identifying potential issues and providing alternate rulings, when appropiate. It is not my intention to implement radical changes - I really like the game as is, after all, and I intend to preserve as much of it as possible. Rather, I'll propose a number of relatively small tweaks: a class feature here, a couple of powers there, a different take on a skill, or a more balanced implementation of a problematic magic item.
Of course, I won't limit myself to rules fixes. I regularly come up with design ideas for new class powers, feats or monsters, and I'll share them here. You will also find reviews of D&D supplements, adventures and other releases, as well as ocassional discussion on other games. Finally, feel free to suggest any D&D or gaming related topic that you'd like to see covered. I don't promise I'll attend to all petitions, but I'll do my best.

Good luck in you adventures!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind, but I've decided to follow your blog and post my own self-righteous opinions on "how the game should be" and whatnot here, basically just acting like I'm smarter than everyone else.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, about 70+% of what you've posted, I totally agree with. And I'm a stubborn bastard, so it's kind of impressive to get that level of agreement. Kudos. Hopefully you'll be happy to have me (I wouldn't bet on it).
Hey, I thought this was about MY self-righteous opinions!
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, you are absolutely welcome here. From what I've seen, you've just single-handedly done away with the blog's traditional lack of discussion in the Comments section. I usually like to answer to most feedback, but in this case, it's going to take quite a while. Keep them coming!
Glad to be of service.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I generally avoid the Character Optimization forums (and really, almost any forums) because it's so hard to keep up with everything that's going on, so I have a bit of a hermit's view on things.
Feel free to take your time, of course. I don't expect an answer to every one of my mindless posts, after all. And some of them probably are pretty mindless-I just obsessively compulsively reply to these things sometimes.
