Nothing sucks like having to stat out heaps of monsters in 3.5
By Tiamat's five unholy sphincters YES.
Even using pre-statted monsters out of published materials doesn't really help a whole lot if you don't know the stat blocks for the creatures inside and out. And learning the stat blocks doesn't all that much less time than statting them up in the first place, especially at mid-levels and beyond, when specific powers, abilities, spells and magic items become ever more important.

I kept trying to use the DMgenie and WotC's computerized tool, but every program got the rules wrong somehow. Still, I thought it was faster to just do that and then scan the results for errors.
(Or make it up on the fly)

I love the word "nerdgasm" from that listing about the Roman d20.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Feh. So even though I pre-ordered back in March, Amazon is telling me it can't send me my 4th Ed books until July. Though, at the moment I don't know if I'd even have time to crack the books until July, anyway, so it's mostly just annoyance at the moment.
Thanks for the review, BT and the link to that excellent forum post, Pete.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Feh. D told me months ago he wanted 4e for his birthday this month. Now he's saying he wants to go to Medieval Times instead. As much as I love the knights and horsies it seems so overpriced and you get nothing tangible from it. Ah well, he's the birthday boy.

Okay. Just ordered my 4e PHB. It should be here by Wednesday.

Also, I just ordered two bags of organic Earl Grey and a bag each of organic detox and calming moon (licorice, fennel, mint and citrus) from Mighty Leaf, but that doesn't really have much to do with gaming.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
You could give the different teas personalities and start role-playing them. (I see the organic detox as having a bit of a dominatrix vibe going on.)
Of course, at some stage you would have to exclaim "Oh! You teas!" Otherwise it's just weird. A Flock Of Seagulls weird.
