D&D Next

[Araciel]

roll20.net is good if you don't care what your mini looks like

D&D next- everything I've seen so far is good. The philosophy is to get back to the game people remember and love but still learning from what works and doesn't.

The system is awesome at the moment cause it's system-lite but still has enough of the good parts of 3.0-pathfinder-4.0, advantage/disadvantage is a cool idea (more dice with no extra math=awesome)

The whole fighter expertise dice I like, but it seems to make other classes just pure gimp in combat (though I haven't seen it in action)

lastly the charisma save makes me cry laughing, but I like ability checks with no skills, skills are just specialized ability checks...

so i'm a fan but I could play pathfinder til I die with the books I have and be happy.

EDIT -- The approach toward magic items now is EXACTLY how I try to run it...and that's awesome.
