Edith, I don't believe that it's lack of respect for the rules that causes the arguments. If there was a lack of respect for the rules, then at this stage who would care about a +1 or a +2? Infact the argument over spell penetration sounds like maybe we as a group have too much respect for the...

I'm with Exile on this. The "new core" books are the core FR books, and the core Eberron books. The best part of this is that it could actually make things easier for new players. Only three books get large D&D branding, so it doesn't appear to be too much to learn to get into it. Each setting...

Names and Locations I believe that most humans ascribe to a location that they came from, so if we grant quirky AIs that recognition then they might do something similar. But Celebrim is right if they follow a caste type system then the names could denote styles and methods that they use, or...

It always depends. Sorry Celebrim, I gotta disagree with you here. Not only do I figure that given enough time not only will someone do it, but someone else will screw it up. My votes is they name themeselves after the original one, or it's creator. I'm chuckling at the idea that something is...

Cool. Well as I see it, we are seen as wimps instead of evil. In my book that's a move in the right direction. Not as far as I'd like, but this I can live with. Mind you the odds are that the best that we're gonna be able to pull off is to challenge the book clubs in membership numbers. We're...

See there's the problem right there: Awsome to Angst takes time. That's why all the badguys in movies think they are still in control right after the good guys whatever the macguffin.

You expected something more mature on the show that has a m*******ting bear, the insulting comic dog, and a barfing kermit? Please for the love of your sanity turn the show off before he hits a Michael Jackson joke. It's just gonna be way to harsh for you. But on the upside, you know one show...

Since the old pointy hats are getting it badly, I'll stick up for them. From a wizard upon seeing a sorcerer cast a spell: "Again! Haven't you learned anything new yet?" A wizards college joke: Q: What's another name for a sorcerer? A: A one trick pony. How many sorcerers does it take to cast...

I pre-ordered about a week ago, through the WW store. I am planning on using it to figure out what the CR system actually expects from characters. Since I couldn't find a benchmark for it, I'm have to sort it out from the encounters. And I figure the original implementors might have a more...

I like IH for pretty much all the reasons that have already been named. Just one little issue, that learning curve. IH has a lot of small and some large changes to the D20 engine, and so it can be difficult to get all of it into your head. But I think it runs smoother once it's there. 'Course I...

Okay, this I must admit I like. The questions of what exactly are a player’s responsibilities. I mean really, where is the list of things I am expected to do? (Not including basic social skills.) However with power comes responsibility, and giving responsibility usually means granting power . ...

I think I like the idea, but I must be missing something... It sounds like you are thinking of writing a book that helps players work with the GM to tell better stories. This is a book that I would buy as a player. (I am of the useless escapist gamer classification, so learning what alot of...

Put down a vote for Dakkar's sheets for me: http://ythmithar.altervista.org/testi.php?t=schedepg I like the layout and style, something about all those little boxes helps me organize my thoughts. They aren't all in english, I think some are in italian, but the english ones are pretty good.

What Iron Heroes or Dungeon Bash as a PBP? Iron Heroes would be a sweet reading in a play by post. Given the challenge and stunt rules that it has, play by posts will definantly have help to be interesting. (Those of you GM's that already have/do something like them may not need the help. But...

I bought it because it does what I was looking for. Random dungeons with out a dungeon master, so everyone can play a character. But now that I have Iron Heroes I can't wait to see how they run together. With the way that the classes are setup, the only issue that I see is that IH really begs...
