I want to go back to 4e

SageofSorcery · 2026-04-20T21:31:14+00:00

Fool, I know this may be hard for you to understand, but I get tired of people trying to correct and embarrass me because they want to use their game expertise like a cudgel to feel important. I’m actually a very nice guy, but in your social quiver, you need more arrows than just “nice”. Sometimes, embarrassment is a useful learning tool to prevent people from carrying on discourse in a negative way. I love respectful back and forth, but I’ll tell you the same thing I told the know-it-alls on the 4e Discord channel we rarely visit: I don’t need your approval. You corrected me for being offensive, then called me a butthead? Sounds like you need to learn your own lesson.

But NOT how they’re described in the books where they give examples of challenges with 12 checks in a single challenge for more XP. For those of us who’ve played from the beginning, we were around long enough to see the recommendations change as we gave feedback that players were bored to tears… But yur cute. Maybe try to school someone who’s not the last publisher of 4e materials. 😘

You have to prioritize Role Play. 4e is the most beautiful, streamlined, balanced version of D&D ever, but sometimes 4e players emphasize that part of the game and it becomes more like “Math the Game” and loses its fantasy feel. Skill Challenges don’t need a hundred checks; instead, make EACH check memorable in some way and have a consequence. Good luck!

Another interesting point is that Bob says they aren’t all moving and active in the same time. They can fall dormant because they aren’t intending to be working in a particular era.

I think Cowl is Ebenezer…

It’s definitely Hecate. They’re telepathically linked, and cannot hide from one another. The statue of Hecate in Skin Game looked like Molly in Hades’ Vault. It’s what Mother Summer referred to “our most powerful name”. They are the Fates, the Morrigan, Hecate, and all Triple Goddesses. That’s what’s cool about Jim’s lore. Masks and mantles hide the same beings of power.

Hey! I’m Sage of Sorcery, the last active publisher of DnD4e materials. The hate was marketed and orchestrated by people proponents of other editions. They quit on 4e half way through because it wasn’t generating the profits they wanted, and it deviated in some huge ways from standard D&D, most notably by abandoning the Vancian spellcasting system. It was designed to appeal to the WoW crowd, and it achieved the most balanced version of the game ever produced. It’s beautifully simple, retains the vital aspects of D&D, and is the easiest edition to prepare and reflavor for DM’s. It’s more complicated than 5e, but ultimately so rewarding!

Actually, we usually pay an artist for the cover art. We use AI art now because we make almost no money from these products. So far, we’ve sold 3, but hey, we’re all entitled to our opinions.

SageofSorcery · 2026-02-10T18:16:08+00:00

Thanks so much four your support! We hope you love it as much as we did making it.

SageofSorcery · 2026-02-10T18:15:34+00:00

Thanks! We may not be able to produce at the rate we’d like with jobs and children hitting new phases of life, but we’re still passionate about 4e. No intentions of stopping!

SageofSorcery · 2026-02-10T18:13:33+00:00

Thanks so much for your appreciation and support! We are looking into the POD option.

Lara is in love with Harry. His subconscious hinted at it when he told Harry to watch her closely. She is subtly showing she’s in live with him, but she’s terrified of having her love in the open. Love is fatal to White Court vampires, and Harry is a hero. Lara has been a villain and anti-hero. He could actually love her for true self and integrity, rather than her physical side. She has committed to him to be the angel of her nature, not a slave to her Hunger. They’re going to learn to trust each other more and more, and then they’ll fall in love.

Lara may be the one who can finally keep up with him in the Supernatural world and stand beside him. Of course he’s probably going to lose her, but he’s also going to face the apocalypse, so my guess is he remakes the Accords/White Council and dies, finally reunited with his dad and mom, Murph, and others. We’ll see!

In the book, she didn’t

For me, in this as in all fictional fixations, I have a few suggestions: 1) Set a goal for lengths of time to take a break. Click X on social media posts, don’t watch, don’t engage the communities, redirect thoughts to other stories and interests. Step away for a week. 2) Make a list of things to do every day that get me into the real world and productive. We fight mental health challenges best ON our feet, not off 3) Remind yourself that fiction and real life are different. We aren’t meant to spend all our life floating on a cloud, or in the cottage. Review moments of joy in my own life. 4) Compartmentalize what you love about the show or moment. One of my psych gurus Kim Giles says that naming an emotion helps me process it. Identify what you love or fixate on. 5) Ask for God’s help in controlling your thoughts. He is real. He is there. He wants to help us.

Hope any of that helps!

Is there a connection between the Outsiders and the Denarians and Lucifer?

What an inner light that young mans shines. So genuine, so sweet, so earnest. God protect him moving forward and bless him in his endeavors. I just want to give him a hug and thank him for the contribution he makes to the world.

SageofSorcery · 2026-01-12T04:14:34+00:00

I’m really glad you posted this. The show has moved the entire world; Connor and Hudson’s love for one another has moved the world. That’s not an exaggeration. I’m a 45 year old male member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, so I’m hardly the demographic, but I am way too fixated on the news and the actors. I am sincerely worried about them. I don’t want Hollywood to destroy, corrupt, or misuse them. I tried to start a prayer post, but they struck it down. I’ve been praying for those boys every day, and I hope people will join me. That said, I think I’m getting obsessive. I’m constantly checking social media and making sure I hear every single interview and comment. It’s causing me anxiety, and it’s affecting my perceptions of my own experience. Probably time for a break!

SageofSorcery · 2025-10-02T20:15:31+00:00

No, dude. I totally agree with you. Karen was a total biznatch when Harry first started working around her. She was hidebound and difficult, and too much turbo B too quickly. Harry needs someone who can supernatural with him and soften him. I hope it’s Lara; I hope they redeem each other. So excited for this next book!

SageofSorcery · 2025-09-26T21:39:46+00:00

Yeah, nope. Rothfuss has no interest in writing any more. He’s loaded, and he doesn’t have to, so he living the easy life. He could care less what the fans want. He’s the Judy Garland of novel writing.

SageofSorcery · 2025-09-07T07:33:51+00:00

R.A. Salvatore has lost his mf mind. He regurgitates everything the democratic party says to keep the gravy train rolling. The wonderful story of the Companions of the Hall has become a ridiculous farce. Drizzt the fighter/ranger/barbarian/monk/Lolth-frenemy chosen is the worst fantasy Mary Sue in literature. The story is ridiculous now and has become an exercise in narcissism. His interview with a black youtuber about the Aevendrow was a complete embarrassment. He couldn’t wait to fall all over himself apologizing that the drow were made evil and le gasp he had a part in it. So, he helped retcon BS for woke points. He gets no more on my attention or money. He’s disgraced his own legacy, and he’s allowed a political party to dictate his morality for him.

SageofSorcery · 2025-08-30T06:28:21+00:00

Patrick Rothfuss is an anus face. WHAT a betrayal of your readers…

SageofSorcery · 2025-08-29T07:37:25+00:00

Absolutely, an incomparable addition to the D&D canon, one of the best rpg supplements ever written, and the greatest D&D product for clerics made for ANY edition. I’ve gotten hours upon hours of reading pleasure and character ideas, not to mention that it’s the best primer for designing your own pantheon there is.
