Look, gnomes have lairs and henchmen named Francis, end of story. We should not bow to their terrorist like tactics.

I picture the POL ideal as european countries after Rome left them to their own devices. Sure some of them held together to an extent but what was happening in germany had little or no bearing on the life of someone in Brittian. For the vast majority of people on the southern end of a country...

My favorite thing about that thread, which I encourage everyone to read with Archangel_Zero's intent in mind, is that I remember seeing hundreds of posts exactly like that before the release of third edition, without the whole "attempt at humor" thing. The more things change......

The only gnome that matters can be seen here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/toon/20071219a Ironically they have given me a base personality for gnomes, something they themselves had failed to do for the last three editions, in their announcement that Gnomes were being replaced by...

as to the original topic. A friend of mine has been GMing for two decades of hacking and slashing fun through module after endless module with trips to town being more of a chance to heal and sell stuff then to interact with the populace, unless the populace were going to attack you. over the...

flame, flame, flame, threadcrap, flame!

This user is clearly just trolling as it is simply not possible that the new edition might bring a new user here. Everyone with a valid opinion must have been here at least as long as me and have at some point traded emails with eric noah over the validity of a 3e scoop.

bah woodless gaming is the only true way. If you were not such a devolveed gamer you would know that. the hobby trancended wood when the game that nobody played from that company that immediately went under but you can download off some guy's geocites page was released.

Well, I love the seeming focus on character abilities over shiny new toys. I also like the simplified stat blocks, though I've been running 3.X for as long as it's existed without ever fully statting a monster. It'll save space in the MM for more monsters. The designers willingness to rethink 30...

despite my assurances that you would never see me sully my reputation by being associated with the likes of you, I have returned only two posts later!

I feel the need to weigh in despite having nothing of interest to add to the conversation, furthermore if you look in another thread, I'll be contradicting the thing I just said. Also, no matter what happens, I hate everything that I don't love. I'm leaving this forum forever and never buying a...

God forbid they try to make the game more fun. How will my players ever be able to count my cieling tiles again? Will they forget the spot on my wall at which they stare so uninterestedly at? Will I never hear the standard "I hit three times for 53 points of damage" again? Edit: the most...

As a point of note Razz, if you are genuinely never switching, you're not part of their customer base anymore and they shouldn't feel any need to care about you.

ZOMG THE PUBLISHING COMPANY WANTS TO SELL (gasp) BOOKS! i'M NEVER GONNA BUY IT, NEVER! Seriously though, this lines up with everything we had heard was coming and yet the sky remains above us. Looks like a usable stat block to me, having the standard information needed for a fight with the...

because hatred of something you have never even seen is seldom able to be rationally argued from a logical perspective.

yeah, bout those black pages. As I recall all we really knew about 3e at this point in 1999 was that attack bonuses went up and that ac also went up. I don't think we had even seen skurge dwarfbane yet. We know a fair bit more as far as things that are not going to be there then we did then. no...

I would guess that whatever changes are made to the setting will be prompted at least partially by the fact that this will be the fourth set of books to come out detailing the realms and anyone who likes the realms owns at least one set of them. From a purchasing standpoint, unless the books...

I think it far more likely that they would simply try to sell the IP for whatever they could get then risk any money on a "back to basics" relaunch. D&D is pretty isignifigant as far as revinue for WotC goes. It's really not worth their time financially to try and save it if it fails. They have...

I for one don't see the problem here. They are doing it with their own IP and to be blunt, a large part of the Iconic material for the realms involves checking out the ruins of old civilizations. I never played in myth drannor as a civilization, I did play in the silver marches. Going through...
