Who said anything about touching? If you get damaged repeatedly, I'll utilize a wand of cure X wounds and jab it into the point of injury.

It'll be like a taser that heals with a jolt instead of disabling, but it'll be a jolt all the same.

Wasn't there arrows of healing that you could shoot people with?

3.0 Supplement book "Masters of the Wild" not reprinted in later editions

I run too much 3.0 and 3.5 and not enough Shadowrun I still need to look up SR4A rules

Back in the 2e dnd days a friend of mine loved to play paladins and my favorite healing quote blurted from his mouth after combat while he was buzzing on sugar and caffeine. He was like 5th or 6th level and down to a few hp, then:

"I touch myself and feel better!"

Not a dry eye in the house...

Now, I haven't actaully played anything other than Shadowrun, but these are my favorites to read about.

Exalted (I absolutley love Exalted's setting.  It's a shame the system is pointlessly over complex to what it could be.)

Don't Rest Your Head (Such a good game, and a good read.)

Dungeons, the Dragoning 4000, 7th Edition (I thought I was going to choke when I read this.  It's so bad, but the system looks like it could actually work.)

[Gleeful]

Shadowrun, of course.
Call of Cthulhu(so far more of my characters have died than gone insane, but NONE of them have lived, and all told, I'm well over ten complete campaigns. When they die, I have to pick an NPC and join the others.
D&D 4e. Yes. I play. Yes, I run it too. Yes, I have a ball doing both. Not quite sure where the huge mass hatred of it comes from, but there is no doubt it is there. *shrug* Doesn't mean I don't like it! Particularly the Dark Sun setting.
Palladium(which includes Rifts, the fantasy, and Heroes. Probably more Rifts, but the supplements started getting crazy. At least with 4e D&D I can just update through the Char builder.
Rolemaster. C'mon. How many LOVE when they roll those 'special' numbers on the charts?
Star Wars Sagas. Not the d20 edition, but the d6 version.
Warhammer RPG though my characters die even faster in that than Cthulhu. Sick and wrong!
Original Vampire: the Masquerade. I possess many fond memories of my Ventrue accountant, and just haven't been able to bring myself to try the other versions(Maybe thus the resistance to 4e DnD? I dunno. I certainly have played ALL editions of D&D, and like 2nd e and on.
Traveller(though I can only ever find anyone else who plays it, at conventions.)

[The_Gun_Nut]

Lord, I'd love to play Traveller.  I love sci-fi in general, and space sci-fi in particular, but haven't found anyone to run/play those kind of games.

My big problem with 4th is that I have more money than I like to admit invested in 3.5 and from what I have seen of 4th it is not really compatible with the older system.  Besides that there is also the fact that they killed FR by changing the magic system.  I liked the weave.

Cutting off any thought of an Edition Wars starting up here. I'll be watching to make sure...

[CanRay]

Deadlands (Weird West and Hell On Earth), Star Wars (D6), Paranoia (Various versions)...  That's off the top of my head.

From a story standpoint, I agree. From a gaming standpoint, still I agree. If anyone wants to play DnD 4e, go forth and have fun (that's what it's all about, right?). I have better things to do than bash anyone for their choice in games. Me, I simply switched to Pathfinder, and all was good. Heck, we even have a campaign we started in 3.5 and simply moved it over (with only minor tweeks) to Pathfinder. And next to SR, Pathfinder is my favorite game.

Oh I agree.  Play what you want to play.  These are just my pet peeves about 4th ed and the reason that I do not play it.

[bigity]

I don't care for 4E but that certainly doesn't make it a bad game or people idiots for playing it.  Just personal preference.

I liked it just fine though when I first played it years ago and it was called Warhammer Quest.

[savaze]

I look at D&D 4e as the Dungeons & Dragons PnP MMO. I prefer my dnd aged and served with yellowed paper (1st or 2nd ed).

You noticed that too?

I really liked 1st and 2nd edition dnd especially the Planescape setting.  The art was great.
