    Newfag here wanting to play D&D. However, I have heard that 4e is a shit twinkie, and I am considering pathfinder as an alternative. Is it any good or should I get 3.5?

    They're both fine games with many things to recommend them. I suggest you check out both and see which one appeals to you personally.

    Check our Pathfinder on Paizo's site, then look into 4e. Or vice versa. They're two very different games. 3.5 is a waste of your time since there isn't really anything being made for it.
    >> Anonymous 04/24/10(Sat)21:57 No.9408981
    You should play 4e. You are new to the game and don't have any emotional attachment to a particular edition. The 4th edition is the best edition of Dungeons and Dragons to date. Failing that, play some other RPG like Warhammer FRP, FantasyCraft or Dragon Age, for example.

    Pathfinder is for people who played 3rd edition and are worried their wizard won't be able to win the game single-handedly anymore but want to take part in the shiny new game excitement.

    I'd recommend 4e. I can tell you most arguments against 4e tend to be founded upon misconception or omission of contradictory facts. But it's up to you. 3.5e has its charms, I've never tried Pathfinder but I'm sure it's the same shit. All in all, 4e seems to play better and is easier to pick up in my experience. I've run it into Paragon before as a DM and had a good time.

    If you had to suck three dicks because one dick would save your life an hour later if you sucked it, would you rather suck all three, or ask which dick would save your life and spare you the sucking of two other dicks?

    This is hypothetical of course, since you would probably willingly fellate all dicks repeatedly.

    Let's make it work for you then, Mr. Rage.

    You want to suck a good dick. You have three dicks. You want to suck the best dick. Do you just take the 33% chance of getting an inferior dick, or do you try and at least ask some other homosexuals like you which dick they enjoyed the most? For all you know two of them got herpes.

    AGAIN, HERPES IS AN OBJECTIVE TRAIT OF THOSE DICKS AND, UNLESS I AM SOME SORT OF HERPES-FETISHIST, WILL PROBABLY LIE OUTSIDE MY PREFERENCES.

    LET'S TRY A COMPARABLE EXAMPLE:

    THERE ARE THREE DICKS. THEY ARE DIFFERENT, VARYING IN SIZE AND DIMENSION ONLY.

    I WANT TO SUCK THE MOST ENJOYABLE DICK. I CAN EITHER LISTEN TO ALL THREE TALK ABOUT HOW THEIR DICK IS OBJECTIVELY BEST (SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW OR CARE WHAT MY TASTE IN DICKS IS), OR I CAN LOOK AT ALL THREE DICKS AND DECIDE FOR MYSELF.

    ASKING OTHER PEOPLE HAS A MINIMAL CHANCE OF INCREASING MY CHANCES OF FINDING THE DICK *I* ENJOY MOST, UNLESS I HAPPEN TO ASK: SOMEONE WITH SIMILAR/IDENTICAL TASTE IN DICK, SOMEONE WITH A FAIR AND ENLIGHTENED VIEW ON THE MATTER, OR A ROBOT.

    THE FIRST HAS A SMALL CHANCE OF HAPPENING, GIVEN HOW MANY TASTES IN DICK THERE ARE. THE SECOND HAS AN EQUALLY SMALL CHANCE OF HAPPENING IF I HEAD TO "THE HEADQUARTERS OF DICK-OPINIONATED PEOPLE WITH NO REASON TO BACK UP THEIR CLAIMS". THE THIRD IS ALSO MINIMALLY HELPFUL, AS ROBOTS ARE TERRIBLE AT FELLATIO.

    Think of it like this. 3e is the dick that has been fucking you for years, you're bound to have a certain attachment to it. But you're in love with this dick, you can hardly be expected to make an objective judgement on it.

    Meanwhile, here is a glowing golden dick of perfect symmetry and proportions, that all the fags in the neighbourhood are slavering to suck. That dick is 4e, because it is the most perfectly designed dick for its purpose. The only reason to suck the 3e dick is because its imperfections are familiar and endearing to you.

    Look, if you can't tell, I'm gay. There is really a limited range of qualities that are attractive in a penis. It is not as subjective as you might think.

    OF COURSE ABSOLUTELY *NOTHING* SHORT OF ACTUALLY SUCKING THE DICK WILL TELL YOU WHAT IT'S ACTUALLY LIKE TO SUCK SAID DICK, BUT LOOKING IT OVER IS A BETTER GUESSING POINT THAN LISTENING TO THE PERSON IT'S ATTACHED TO BRAG ABOUT IT.

    It still works. Hearing other fags brag about their favorite dicks is no better than hearing the owner brag.

    What makes your dick appraisal "bad"? If you enjoy sucking it, isn't that the primary point? Both games and dicks are supposed to be enjoyable.

    But the percentage chance everyone argued in favor of the wrong dick is so small it's negligible from a logical standpoint. So, it's two percentages that still weigh in favor of asking which dick to suck.

    Decide based on the people you play with. If you can come to an easy preference-based solution, great. If not...

    If they're all dickbags and retards, they will thrive in 4E because there are very few wrong options. Play 3.5.

    If they're all twinkers and rules lawyers, they will thrive in 3.5 because there are some ridiculously overpowered options. Play 4E.

    If they're solid players and all of them are willing to both play and roleplay, it shouldn't matter but I recommend 3.5 because it's faster, maybe Pathfinder will be your thing.

    Just download the original 3rd edition books, the 3rd edition character creator, Neverwinter Nights and then work your way from there till you get into the books that are practically "3.5 lite" due to their release right before 3.5.

    From there you can then either play any other RPG of your fancy, go back and look at AD&D for it's great campaign settings and depth, or just play 4.0 and see if it's for you.

    3rd edition isn't really LOL BEST EDITION, but I personally feel it's the best at giving an all encompassing "welcome to roleplaying" approach that shows influence of older systems and will let you either appreciate/dislike the approach of newer ones.

    And most importantly, you need a group to play games, so whatever the group plays should also influence your decision.

    The fact that the differences are minor does not mean that they do not exist. You are not picky, and your own preferences are underdeveloped. This is not necessarily the case for everyone.

    >>Consider veins, and all the possible variation.
    >Trivial. Superficial. Do you seek to mock me, sir?
    To you, perhaps. To some such aesthetic concerns are of greater import.

    >>Consider curvature.
    >None is desirable. In this, there are only good dicks, and sub-optimal dicks whose flaws can be overlooked in the ongoing quest for dick.
    You prefer a lack of curvature. I enjoy a slight downward curvature myself, though I don't often find it. It is ultimately subjective.

    >>Consider cuts and foreskin lengths.
    >Possibly divisive, but to the connoisseur each is equally well-designed, so to speak, and perfectly acceptable.
    Acceptable, perhaps, but there are still preferences. I enjoy a foreskin that I can roll my tongue around, and find cut penises to be comparably more boring.

    >>Length and breadth are simple, but not the only possible criteria.
    >I don't know... they might well be the only substantive criteria. That, and generally symmetry of form.
    Symmetry of form is actually one of those few ideals that are pretty much objective. And length and girth are very much matters of taste; most people have a certain degree to which they want to be stretched. That requires specific dimensions. A suboptimal fit can still be very pleasurable, but it is still suboptimal.

    Veins, trivial? I think not. Dicks with large, prominent are a awesome. I find them incredibly fun to lick. And if you pop a cock ring on one, you get the most amazing bulging veins. This isn't to say that that smooth dicks without prominent veins aren't just as attractive, and for some body types, more desirable.

    >>Consider curvature.
    >None is desirable. In this, there are only good dicks, and sub-optimal dicks whose flaws can be overlooked in the ongoing quest for dick.
    This is clearly just your personal preference. I must say, I didn't expect a self claim connoisseur to be so, narrow focuses. Well, I admit that an extreme curve to the dick can make it harder to suck, I find. But I find a nice curve can really make up for it anally.

    >>Consider cuts and foreskin lengths.
    >Possibly divisive, but to the connoisseur each is equally well-designed, so to speak, and perfectly acceptable.
    I will agree with this point, though.

    >Minus the basic questions - like does the owner of this dick wash at all and am I racist against this kind of dick - I maintain that most fags have a common image of the ideal dick.
    Personally, I have no one image of an ideal dick. I like a wide variety, and would, in a perfect world have a varied selection of people to chose from regularly.

    >But you've raised some interesting points and I promise to seek advice on the matter.

    But that's precisely why I call them substantive criteria! The size of the dick you are faced with, like the fundamental mechanics of roleplaying games, is a matter of critical importance! Matters of foreskin and texture are superficial variations and a matter of taste, like the presence of dragonborn in your campaign world, though I confess I was too hasty to dismiss them in my zeal to prove some kind of point.

    I have played every edition of dungeons and dragons, including OD&D, or as we called it "basic" where "ELF" was a class. I have played many other roleplaying games including but not limited to; Star Frontiers, boot hill, Twilight 2000 (first ed) Middle Earth Roleplaying, Runequest, Star Wars d6, Mechwarrior, Ars Magica, Vampire The Masquerade, James Bond, GURPS, Champion, DC Heroes, and so on.
    IN MY OPINION, 3.5/ Pathfinder is the best D&D. I know Pathfinder isn't technically D&D, but still. I liked First Edition AD&D, was lukewarm on second, love 3.5 and PERSONALLY DISLIKE 4. You should check out both 4 and 3.5, because it seems to be a polarized type of thing. Most people seem to like one and hate the other. Many people seem to say that 4 is easier to learn, so maybe if you are new to roleplaying in general, it's the way to go. You can read the 3.5 srd here http://www.d20srd.org/ to give you a general idea of what 3.5 is like.
