Pretty much the only 4e character I played that I liked was a monk. My favorite part was when I leaped halfway accross the map and kicked the boss in the face with a daily crit. He went from full health to just barely bloodied in one hit. Monk OPAF.

Not in 3.5 :V

which version of D&D though, because if you say 4th ed you are abad person and should feel bad. TTRPGs aren't MMOs.

Hell, I won't even play real MMORPGs.

I found 4e pretty fun. I tend to enjoy pathfinder of 3.5 though, and just joined a 5e game. Gonna see how that system works out, but looks promising.
Try 13th Age. It is to 4e what Pathfinder was to 3.5.

Posting here cause I'm not actually sure if it fits in Forum games and roleplaying, probably will make a thread there as well. 
I'm going to be gm'ing a game of pathfinder on sundays at 6pm Est, games will likely go for about 3-5 hours a week.  Going to be a pretty standard `Adventurers Co*`game mostly so that the players can get to know each other in a shortish campaign and see if we want to set something up for a longer game.

I`m planning on using mumble for voice OOC and roll20 for actual gameplay/IC stuff.  Don't need to have a mic yourself but I'll probably be talking over the ooc/gmy stuff.

Internet tells me that 13th Age was based off of the d20 system.

Potentially, we'd need to agree as a group what sort of level of fantasy we'd want to do.  Aka, whether theres guns or whatnot, ect.  Would most likely be a level 3 game unless people want to do higher/a level 1 campaign.

How about a campaign whose theme is that there used to be technology in the ancient past, but now a sinister conspiracy suppresses it by altering the flow of magic to make conductive metals (such as copper, silver, and gold) difficult to conjure (and has been doing so for so long that nobody even realizes anymore that anything is out of the ordinary)

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Considering baseline pathfinder includes aliens and robots, not too far off the mark.

D20, but designed by the lead designers of both 4e and 3e.

Probably. I think fifth edition just recently came out a couple of months ago, but with the accelerating rate that they're churning out new editions I wouldn't put it past them to have released a sixth edition already in order to sell more core rulebooks.

I think I have a copy of the PDF, but right now I have too much that I'm going through plus exams to learn a new system. Already paging through Chuubo, Ryuutama and 5th ed.
