I have a ton of D&D books from starting playing back in 1985ish - I am looking to store them reliabily and cheaply - like some sort of box made for storing D&D sized books/magazines/modules. In theory they would be appropriate in size and such that I could carry the boxes around without killing...

I was sad to see them head this direction but I knew where they were going with it when they did the same with the Char Gen. This is a 100% attempt to stop people from using multiple copies of the tool and they have squandered what little money they had (and fewer resources after multiple years...

WOTC has completely mis-judged the whole combating piracy effort and is in a downward spiral. Less product = less money = fewer employees = less product It was a good run - but now the suits are running the show and it is the end my friend.

These cards represent WOTC jumping the shark for me - too much of an obvious money grab. I stood by them during the Essentials - this ends my purchasing of products.

D&D is suppose to be cheap - all you needed was a book and your imagination (maybe a pencil and a blank sheet of paper). You cant try and milk everything for every penny - some things are meant to be a certain way. WOTC is simply trying to ensure everyone who uses character builder pays for it...

Ok - we just had a 4 on 4 battle, 4 pc's vs. some vampire chick, 2 banshees and a sword wraith (14th levelish) The battle took like 2.5 hours - which is just absurd and I dont think we were really being too slow about it but we werent just hard core nose down fighting. My question is what are...

QUOTE: "But usually my players understand that 4e rules dont always make sense and yet they are supposed to work so they normally avoid making tough questions." See this is the kind of stuff that im trying to avoid - ive got some players who are anti-4e because of this type of logic. And I...

What happens if a rogue tries to use his knockout ability on a ghost? A skeleton? A green slime or some other kind of pudding monster? What happens if a rogue tries and use his positioning strike ability on a 4 legged creature like a bull? Or something huge like a Dragon? etc? With so many...

Every time I come to the website it flips screens for a moment to "update my time zone settings". This seems like 1) an annoyance to me 2) an un-needed usage of server processing/bandwidth Does it do this for everyone or is there something I need to set/fix on my end in order for it to stop...

I think it is a very intersting concept - but I have no doubt I do not want to miss out on the other 24 levels of the game and the powers/abilities/magic items they offer. Part of the reason I like D&D is because it is more of a treadmill game than others - meaning I kill monsters, I get loot...

No one I know trusts WOTC anymore after the utter catasrophe with the D&D Insider Character Creater/Gametable etc. launch that was suppose to happen day 1 - since all of the ads and books said so. Was pretty obvious they were lying through their teeth about that whole situation. It is sad to...

Ah - so there are no other options but take it is what your saying. I thought there were more choices in the PHB or somewhere else you could choose from. I didnt realize they forced you into takin such a worthless ability - I am suprised at both the worthlessness and the forced taking of it.

The level 12 Daggermaster (rogue paragon path) utility feat is called Meditation of the Blade. It says until end of encounter, your dagger die size is increased by one size. Does this have any real effect other than letting you roll 1d6 instead of a 1d4 for the one single dmg dice you roll...

I have a question to add onto his list - Can drow rogues use a hand crossbow in melee without any penalities? or does it act like other ranged attks (you get an opporunity attack on them) For some reason I thought i read somewhere they were special (either hand crossbows or drows using them)

We are trying to encourage role playing in our group but so far it isnt working too well. I was listening to the Fear the Boot podcast actually and one of the guys mentioned he normally had a 20 questions kind of questionnaire paper he handed out to his players to not only get background...
