While I'm sorry to hear about the car, I'm glad to hear you and yours are doing alright. Here's wishing you a swift recovery SG.

Sorry to dredge this up from a couple of weeks ago, but my curiosity was piqued while reviewing the issue. What makes "a sling" the specific weapon when "a light blade" is the group? Presumably, were there a weapon that was named "light blade" we wouldn't know if they meant the group or weapon there either.

Well, I've looked around the interwebs and the CS response was that it was specifically the sling, however if you ask again I'm sure they'd give a different response...my rationale was that the ranged weapons were very specific in their wording so it makes sense that only those listed. It's more a problem that WotC suck with their names. Maybe in the June errata we can see something (I doubt it)

Would it be worth putting up a proposal saying something along the lines of "when a feat or power names an item that could either be a weapon or a group, assume the latter?"
I'm really really not fond of the overlap between weapon names and group names. There are at least 3 that I can think of (four if you count blowguns).

So as some (most?) of you may have seen today in the Rule of 3, this month's Dragon is focused heavily on providing general Themes (4 of the 7 pay articles). When they were introduced in Dark Sun we voted to block them (appropriately titled Dark Sunblock http://www.enworld.org/forum/living-4th-edition/294702-proposal-dark-sunblock.html).
With the introduction of them this month for a general setting what are the judges and community members thoughts? I guess we will need to wait and see them before commenting much, but I just wanted to see people's feelings towards them (especially for those playing in DS games)

From the proposal thread (emphasis mine):
I'd really like to preserve this. That doesn't mean that we can't have themes, necessarily, but if themes are allowed here, and everyone gets one, then we should create a handful of setting-specific, freely available themes.

Sure cov, although we allow Backgrounds from PHB2, which weren't in PHB1.
Same for Expertise, all the math feats from Essentials, etc. Nothing would prevent someone from making a PC, they would just lack that option.
We'd also have to check out the legal stuff surrounding publishing rules/themes outside of the GSL, plus we'd have to have some caveats in there around playtesting/erratas, etc. but I'm not opposed to them, provided we don't get Morrus in trouble.
