I am in need of a player for my 4E game, Dreams of the Forgotten. It is over in Real Adventures. LinYurenya has been forced to drop out due to a drastic change in his schedule, so I need someone to fill his spot. I would prefer that any interested take control of Lin's character, the halfling monk, Kithr. However, I am open to replacements submitting their own characters to introduce in Kithr's place. Please reply if interested. Thanks!
EDIT: The vacancy has been filled by FallenIrishPhoenix.

"Yeah, everybody can be happy then!" "But I don't like X, they should remove it." "X really needs to be replaced with Y." "But they can include both X and Y." "But I don't like X, they need to remove it." "Remove X, I don't like it."
Until you've had an in-law tell you your choice of game was stupid, and just Warcraft on paper, and dumbed down for dumber players who can't handle a real RPG, you haven't lived.
Lady and gentlemen.... I present to you the Edition War without Contrition, the War of the Web, the Mighty Match-up!
We're using standard edition war rules. No posts of substance. Do not read the other person's posts with comprehension. Make frequent comparison to video games, MMOs, and CCGs. Use the words "fallacy" and "straw man", incorrectly and often. Passive aggressiveness gets you extra points and asking misleading and inflammatory questions is mandatory. If you're getting tired, just declare victory and leave the thread. Wait for the buzzer... and....

D&D should not return to the days of blindfolding the DM and players. No tips on encounter power? No mention of expected party roles? No true meaning of level due to different level charts or tiered classes? Please, let's not sacrifice clear, helpful rules guidelines in favour of catering to the delicate sensibilities of the few who have problems with the ascetics of anything other than what they are familiar with.
Just a quick note on the MMORPG as an insult comparison...
MMORPGs, raking in money by the dumptruck full. Many options, tons of fans across many audiences, massive resources allocated to development.
TTRPGs, dying product. Squeaking out an existence that relys on low cost. Fans fit primarily into a few small demographics. R&D budgets small, often rushed to market and patched after deployment.
You're not really making much of an argument when you compare something to a MMORPG and assume people think that means bad. Lets face it, they make the money, have the audience and the budget. We here on this board are fans of TTRPGs but lets not try to pretend none of us play MMORPGs.
Something like Tactical Shift is more magical than martial healing.
Telling someone to move over a few feet is magical now? :|
I weep for this generation.
Given the laziness and morbid obsesity amongst D&Ders, being able to convince someone to get on their feet, do some heavy exercise, and use their words to make them be healthier must seem magical.
While I would be interested in joining a game I personally don't think I would be able to simply take LinYuernya's place controlling Kithr. The only problem I have is that when taking over someone elses character is that you are trying to run a character based on how you "think" their creator would do it. If your open to a replacement character let me know and maybe we can work something out.

Fair enough. I can always keep Kithr in the background (he has his uses as an NPC). The party currently consists of an Ardent, a Slayer, a Ranger, a Psion, and a Paladin. I would prefer you avoid those classes when making a replacement character, if possible. A Striker would be ideal, but pitch me any idea you like.
