    Is EN World really DM World?

    D comes before E in the alphabet, and M before N. EN World is named for Eric Noah, but strangely enough it could be named for someone who is so into DMing that they are ENing (i.e. they are so into DMing that the abbreviation is iterated one character forward.) That in mind, the poll: Are...

    WotC: Souldn't Magic Items Be Classified By Function?

    So why the definition of magic items by form? This just seems too much of a limitation. So is a cloak of invisibility going to be cheaper and easier to get than a ring of invisibility when they both really have the same game effect? It seems that you would want to deliniate magic items...

    Movies With Traps

    Considering the news about traps, I was thinking that we should have a thread about movies with inspirational traps. (this might seem like it belongs in media, but I think givne the news it could work here too... mods move at your whim) Raiders of the Lost Ark The Temple of Doom The Last...

    I like it when my PC dies! Share your coolest death!

    This thread is for people to brag about how their character's may have gone out. Was it the Paladin that held off a dozen hobgoblins while the rest of the party escaped? Were you the guy that got bull-rushed off a cliff? Was he the last hold out in a TPK? I once read a story about a guy who...

    What happens when Chuck Norris Tunes you out?

    I don't think this falls into politics. I found it sort of odd that Reuters would report on his opinion. Methinks someone has been reading the Chuck Norris list: http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN29211301 So to add to it: Chuck Norris is so Bad Ass that when he wants to...

    D&D 4E A suggested update to the 4e Info Page

    I think the info page would do well to have a list of the dev blogs that often have 4e tidbits. Naturally it would be a list of links to those blogs...

    "Bait Monsters" and the "Trained Mindset"

    Now the speaker that spoke about the Frost Giants not being in MM1 may have just picked a monster name at random to illustrate a point. However I would state that there is a cadre of monsters that has existed since the inception of the game that should always be in the first book (Frost Giants...

    Will You Count "Roman Numeral" Books As Core?

    The Roman numeral Books- PHB II, DMG II, MM III, etc... Will you consider them core books? Edit: I might want to make a new poll querying the potential sale landscape of the Roman Numeral Books.

    Would the D&D brand manager please stand up.

    I completely forgot that Charles Ryan was let go from WotC a year ago. Reaiming thread. I was wondering if the current brand manager was talking to the fans. I was also wondering if he can answer this question: What is taking so long for the approval of Paizo books? How many compendiums...

    Number of feats for a human cleric 7 is supposed to have?

    Simple. My brain is fuzzy, no books here. 3 or 2? why?

    Implied wounding

    Today this ran accross my mind- Vampires drain blood - this is represented as con loss the wounding property for weapons - this causes con loss on a normal hit. So it seems to me that the system already had an implied wound ruleset intact. The DM just sort of has to turn it on...

    OD&D/Basic D&D question

    Does the Basic set with the sutherland art have races and classes separate?

    Why Fiends rarely enter the prime material plane overtly:

    Simply put: It is dragon territory. And dragons, by and large, good or evil, lawful or chaotic, HATE fiends.

    Reimagining Keep on the Borderlands

    So I saw the add for "caverns of chaos" which seems to be inspired by the Caves of Chaos, but far more extensive. I then perused the 01 maps and found the Hill of Many Dungeons. I thought if you were to choose only one enterance of that one, and stack the rest beneath it, you would have a...

    Building a better Hommlet

    I was looking at Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil and noticed that part 1 was 32 pages, the same length as Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury. I thought about it and realised that you could have a really good time with just that part. But the map of Hommlet in 3e really blows. So...

    I hate monks

    I just don't like em. They just don't seem to fit. I am going to take them out of my games. If you want to play a guy that fights with martial arts, you can take a fighter, ranger or barbarian and take the "combat martial arts" feats from d20 Modern. In my games the monk is getting replaced...

    Dice Pool Mechanic vs. Single Die

    Just got done looking over the skill mechanic for Burning Wheel. One of the big points that I see in the marketing lit for BW is the idea that difficulty numbers are determined by the player and not the GM. This is a bunch of baloney. Here's why: A die pool with x number of dice that need...

    Ignore lists?

    How do I add someone to my ignore list? Is there such a thing? When I am reading a thread, I have regularly noticed that there are a few posters that like to do ther disertations on EN World. They are filled with ussually secondary debates to the topic at hand and take a lot of time to scroll...
