    when i posted the title of this, i hadn't even considered our friends from outside of the u.s. (what a typical u.s. of a-whole thing to do) and for that i apologize.

    i'm not sure how big the rap group naughty by nature was outside of the u.s. in the early 90s, but their biggest and perhaps only hit single was 'down with o.p.p.' and the chorus follows that line with 'yeah you know me'

    now that we've dissected the bird to see what makes it sing... can we get some gnome love? IMO it would bring some really nice builds to the game. You all know what i'm talking about...

    I was in late high school when that song came out, and I never did find out what O.P.P stood for

    Other People's Pu...um.....Kitty Cats

    But ya, it will always be police for me whatever the song was about :P

    And sorry to derail u OP but you asked for it with the pop culture reference

    As for Gnomes, I'll be you 100plat we will never see them. With Gnomes disappearing as a PC from 4.0 I don't imagine they will be the thing that gets moved forward next.

    I wish people will stop using that reason.... ..


    Gnome will still be a Player race for Eberron in 4.0...

    Just like Warforged, Kalashtar, Shifters and changelings... which will also not be in the first 4.0 PHB..

    Gnomes not being in DDO, because they are not in the 4.0 PHB is not an excuse they can or should use, why they are not in the game..


    That said... Turbine has said they have no plans at this time to add gnomes...at any time in the future... though that could change..

    Gnomes were nixxed from DDO 4.0 weren't they? I think they are permanently nixxed from DDO too.

    NO! Gnomes were removed from the base players handbook in 4th edition, they will however come out some time later in the future.


    Oh, and to everyone who calls it "4.0".....




    QUIT BEING PESSEMISTS!

    Saying that the initial release is going to be "4.0" is like saying you expect the to F**K it up so badly that they have to release another just like the did with....wait what am I talking about it's WoTC ....NVM it will be 4.0. Wizards just can't get D&D right.

    Wow, haven't heard a reference to that song in a while. Nice pun, OP.

    yeah just like 3rd edition, they never had a .5 release oh wait they did. WOTC for all the PR will release a .5 version to fix what they screwed up in 4.0 just like they did for 3.0. And why not everyone has to go out and buy new reference books, makes for a nice cash cow.

    Except the song clearly says that's not the case...


    Lyrics for: O.P.P.

    Arm me with harmony

    Dave drop a load on 'em

    OPP, how can I explain it
    I'll take you frame by frame it
    To have y'all jumpin' shall we singin' it
    O is for Other, P is for People scratchin' temple
    The last P...well...that's not that simple
    It's sorta like another way to call a cat a kittenIt's five little letters that are missin' here
    You get on occasion at the other party
    As a game 'n it seems I gotta start to explainin'
    Bust it

    For gnomes, I think "Other People's Platinum".

    Sounds about right.

    Its also - "the longest, loveliest, lean, some say its the leanest....its another 5 letter word that rhymes with leanest and meanest"

    the question is are you down to cheat on your boyfriend or girlfriend.

    Talking awesome thread title

    LOL love the title brings me back to highschool days where in NYC that song played on every block near my neighboorhood. And the clean version is other peoples property..all those who grew up in or near the projects knew the real terminology. Also they had Hip hop Hooray for another hit song at least amongst the people I hung out with.

    As for gnomes id love to bring my gnome illusionist from pnp to ddo but im longing more for Druids.
