Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Announced 463
bigstrat2003 writes "For the past day, Wizards of the Coast has had a countdown to "4dventure" on their web site. The countdown ran out at 6:30 eastern time today (and the web site promptly crashed), but stories are already appearing on the rest of the web. Wizards also has had their 4th edition forums up for a couple of days."

-20,000 xp since the DM didn't want you to kill it this early in the campaign, it was supposed to return for an epic battle around the time of 4.5, then a final confrontation when 5 came out. Now the DM's stuck trying to figure out a new arch-villain for the rest of the campain.

When I realized I had more money tied up in D&D than I had in my stereo and computer systems combined I decided to quit cold turkey.
And I realized trying to get a game of D&D together when you're 19 is a pretty sad thing. Everyone else with their girls and drugs and booze, and me with my Horseshoes of a Zeyphr, and bag of holding.

I hope you're near a hospital. Do you want me to call 911 for you?
Or perhaps find a dictionary so you can look up "literally"?

If he'd written it about a gelatinous cube eating his balls, he'd have earned the elusive "Keyboard of First Posting +5". The trick is to come up with a cliche that's actually on topic. He almost got it.

My character is standing watch one night while the rest of the party is sleeping. A lone goblin approaches.
Me: I toss a marshmallow to the goblin
*DM looks at we strangely for a moment*: the goblin pokes the marshmallow with his spear and then sticks it into his mouth
Me: I cast enlarge on the marshmallow.
*everyone falls out of their chairs*
(sometimes I think the DM just wanted to see what the heck I was going to pull next)

I need some more 3.5 stuff. Maybe this will put a little more of it on ebay.

Why, When I played D&D, there were no dragons yet, and they hadn't even invented magic. To us the game was sci-fi!

1) Intelligent enough to win a D&D tournament
2) Lucky enough with the dice to win a D&D tournament
3) Big and strong enough to literally bash through a wall
Then, yes, the one, single, supa-hot D&D honey will be all-up-ons. And lordy, lordy, will she ever be into cosplay, with more vinyl and leather than you can conceive of... super bonus round for fetish-addled roleplay freaks. Hot chicks love a fat geek, so long as he can kill a jock with his bare hands and understands the difference between her Sailor Moon costume and her Sailor Mars costume.
The rest of you will die alone.

Memories? BAH! Back in my day, we didn't even have memories. Nothing had happened yet. The universe was still cooling off from the Big Bang, which was all anyone could talk about, since there were no stone tablets yet for us to carve the news in. We had to assemble everything from gluons and bosons and mesons with our bare hands, and we liked it that way. None of those pre-fabricated nucleons with their fancy positive and negative electrical charges.
