Since the recent immaturity of some posters has resulted in mass modification, outright deletion, or general shenanigans, in the ongoing issues with the move to the 4e Realms, I am setting up this thread to deal with all of it. Lets please keep all the nerd rage in this thread. If you can't handle the rage please don't step on the runway. Please don't hit the report button, just leave it or ignore it. Let it all hang out, because I for one don't want to see this forum disintegrate over the childish behavior of a few posters. Go ahead tell us how 4e Realms is the second coming of the Old Grey Box. Go ahead tell us how the 4e Realms is the harbinger of the Apocalypse. Either way please get it out, because I for one am tired of having to keep my opinion in a box because we have a plethora of babies on both sides frequenting this forum. Seriously people grow up, and deal with reality in a civil manner.

Right. I'll start us off. :D

These threads going on about great playing in 4e Realms is? They're annoying, they're taunting, and they're baiting. It's like calling up a guy to tell him how much you enjoy banging his ex-wife, while you're at it.

A good game is a good game, no matter what the edition, ruleset or setting is. It's all down to your group. The argument about quality of setting is not about quality of game, so stop making it about it. If you must tell us about your game, fine, just don't make it about the edition, because it's an irrelevant fact.


Done. That was fun. Quite cathartic really. In the spirit of the thread, I exaggerated a trifle. :D (And no, I've never reported anybody. I just wanted to get it off my chest.)

I am guessing that is the exaggerated part. :D Except I would think it would be more like talking about the new one. ;)

So then telling us how good 4e is a form of baiting, which is against the rules...


Brilliant! :D

No, she's changed. Like we don't even know her anymore. She was never the same after that Spellplague accident, sleeping around with Lovecraftian horror themes and getting addicted to metaplots, losing interest in her old details and themes.

The cow.

The whole point of it is it won't, but it should let everyone vent their frustrations. That is the single upside. Hopefully we can keep all the ill will in one spot, instead of filling up the customer service email box with vomit.
