comment What happened in the Forgotten Realms between 3.5 and 4e?
What parts of the geographic change are "in world changes" vs "out world changes"? I recall WOTC saying that the map was condensed to have more land and less sea, but that this was not a physical change -- the world has retroactively always had the new shape.

Thank goodness for this answer! I was beginning to think I had traveled back to 1989!

comment Good first “indie” rpg to try out?
There are two theories of adoption -- one is to find a game very close to traditional, so there are fewer barriers to adoption. The other is to find a game as far from traditional as possible, so you aren't tempted to fall back on old habits. Which are you looking for?

While I love Risus, I don't think it serves as a "gateway drug" into the style of gaming often associated with the word "indie".

comment How do you powergame 1st Edition AD&D?
Hmm... no judgement was meant -- this is just the closest I can think of to "powergaming" for AD&D. (Other than lying about your stat rolls and having a monty haul GM.)
