      I'm a guy. I like pretty women. But all these bikini-clad or bare-midriff adventurers are ridiculous. It makes NO SENSE. It breaks immersion. And it makes it that much harder for many girls or young women to find D&D approachable.
      Also, as a guy who likes playing funny characters, I think the occasional funny-looking guy or gal is perfectly appropriate. D&D is about adventure, but there should be room for other elements, and one of those is humor.
      Don't make D&D so...

      I don't understand why people relate using a grid & miniatures to having deep and fulfilling combat. In my experience, people who play with miniatures are more prone to metagaming during combat - and that is definitely NOT fun nor fulfilling for me. Not using a grid invokes more creative actions I think, but using a grid doesn't prohibit you from doing anything (if it does, you've got the wrong DM!)

      I agree with ruttentud & find TotM combats much more fulfilling than tactical grid battles ... when the battle occurs entirely in your imagination, it isn't restricted by the position of miniatures on the playing field.
      So, when Seti says (a page back) that "theatre of the mind can work, if the group doesn't want complex, fulfilling combat encounters" he is clearly seeing things differently than I do (and being a little demeaning, as well).
      While miniature combat can be complex in...

      I know that this will likely be ignored (since I'm late to respond), but I have to comment. MC said: "As a fan of high-level play across the editions, I've never agreed fully with the idea that the game breaks down." He then went on to explain what he meant, but I think he fails to acknowledge what *I* mean when I say that the game breaks down. I think that the rules begin to apply less and less, that special extra-rule challenges come up more an more, and that hand waiving abounds as PC...

      As long as EVERY STYLE OF PLAY at EVERY LEVEL/tier is completely OPTIONAL and NOT HARDCODED in the rules, I'm happy with it.
      Some examples (from D&D 3.0/.5-Play):
      - We once did some "resistance against the evil kingdom"-type of play with level one characters, which had much of the elements I would expect from the "have your own castle"-game. (we built a camp in the woods and started to recruit rebels from the other outcasts), but no one took the leadership feat or a "have your own...
