Christian wrote:Ah, alright, thanks for the info people! :)
I've listened to the Podcast with the Penny Arcade crew playing 4th with Scott from PVP Online, and they're doing Shadowkeep, where the GM mentions JUST this Light in the darkness thing... Should I assume that this setting is in Forgotten Realms, then?
I have a soul, as is evident from my liking of Planescape; but I am also the kind of person who despises Oblivion (and all the other Elder scrolls games) for being FAR TOO FREE! I can't handle that, because I panick whenever I'm given free reigns. It's so bad I get Walkthroughs for games just so I can do everything.
I'm that kind of person, I need to do everything

Just to be fair, Drizz't is the one that started that whole stereotype, so while it certainly looks tired now, it wasn't when he was created.
Not that it makes him any less annoying of a character, honeslty, but just putting that out there.
What bugs me about FR is the HUGE number of epic level characters roaming about and being active in the world, which you'd think would reduce the need for you and your level 3 buddies to roam around and beat on some kobolds. That said, our own Suicidal Sprite is running a FR game for a few friends and I and doing a pretty good job of it. So far we've not had contact with any of the big names and it's been for the best.

...WHITE RAVEN ONSLAUGHT!

It can be a reference to whatever it wants, but it still sounds like a supermove from a badly translated japaese fighting game.

PriamNevhausten wrote:Maybe. I'm of the opinion that if you want everything to be just the same, then, well, you still have 3e. And if you want some of the elements of 4e but not all, then you can homebrew it. And if you want a twisted amalgam of nonsense, play Secret of Zir'An rules in CP2020 using the RuneQuest character archetypes.
