Let's continue talking about 4th edition D&D

The other thread is nigh on 100 pages, and there seems to be a shitload of interest in the game since it came out last week, so you know the drill. Yak it up, chuckleheads.
Also I'm kinda going back and forth on Janson getting me the core rules for my birthday
on one hand I do want 'em, but on the other, my friends weren't exactly enthusiastic about playing after... an hour, so it doesn't give me a whole lot of hope for continued playing

I need to know everyone's schedules because I know quetzi might not be able to make it work.
That FATAL book is awful. I can't believe I actually got 30 pages in before stopping myself.
You owe it to yourself to at least take a quick look through the spell miscast table.
This table is roughly 100 pages long.
But that doesn't matter, because only the first 10 or so pages actually have results on them, the other 90 are just blank rows going up to 99999 or so.
I'm going downstairs to get my books because I want yet don't really need a break from study, I don't think I actually need to study in the first place though so meh.
Man, I hells of don't want to go to orientation. I have to drive four hours to find out what room I am staying in and such. Anyway, I have to check to see when we're leaving, because there's a chance I might get back Saturday night around eight. I wouldn't plan on it though.
For the powers section of the character sheet. Do...do I just list all 1st level cleric power or what?
Edit: Guessing from Zombies sheet, I pick two at-will, two encounter, and one daily?
I got my books as a Gift Set from Amazon for $57. All three in a nice slipcase. Just ran my first playtest with the regulars over at CF. I used to hate D&D and after playing so much Star Wars d20 I gave up on the d20 system altogether, moving over to using FATE. However, after running the game tonight, I'm sold on this new edition. Everything I hate about d20 is fixed; the saves, the defense, the attacks, classes and leveling up. Stuff is clearly defined now. We had five players, all who have had never played 4E before and a few who haven't touch D&D in years like me. Within minutes we went through two encounters. It's a good deal, I really like this edition.
So, I've decided it's not really worth me buying the rules for the game. I'll subscribe to D&D insider so I can get the basic rules and play online games, but my real-life friends aren't nearly as interested in the game as you dudes are so it wouldn't be worth paying for the books. Maybe I'll pick up the PHB for easy character generation, but that'll probably be it.
I am quite excited about Kovak's campaign, though.
Goooooddddddd why are the people I play with being such cunts about 4E? abloo abloo I can't suck balls at 9/10th of the skills in the game anymore! Why can't my wizard blow his load in 6 rounds and be useless for the rest of the day?
My spaghetti, it has been eaten in the shower while weeping.
Man, you'd think they'd figure out you can do this shit on your own. Want to know how to play a musical instrument or how to cook? Okay it with your DM, good, done.
Want an elderly character? Make your mental scores better than usual and your physical ones worse, is it really that hard to figure out without a book telling you how?

Even the porn thread was derailed eventually.
This makes an astonishing amount of sense.
Frighteningly true.

boot out quetzi and give me a spot because quetzi has a question mark
Good, goooood
key word is 'almost', though

But the 10 pages are actually kinda entertaining.
Kinda.
and asshole circumference
I swear, even the automatic character creator is tedious.
"Fuck."
No wait they're always evil and ugly. Whi-I mean Light Elf only.
Including fucking vocal charisma, which is how fast you can talk
because you know everyone loves an auctioneer
Keep in mind, this was completely generated randomly.

I would like to play senior kovak if this will be done over the interbutt

Or hey, Kovak, can I play a MM race? It'd be fun to play a doppleganger rogue.
Dude can be a minotaur without it being retarded.
