    What is the RPG equivalent of "vaporware"?

    Honestly, we've always just used the term 'vaporware' too ... I'm not sure if there's a more 'real' term out there, though.

    Dragonsborn Breath Weapon Issue

    Going from a purely biological perspective, the acid would likely either break down very quickly or remain for a while. As the breath is (presumably) not one that remains around long after it has been spat, I assume it breaks down quickly. In a glass jar with a glass stopper, I'd say he'd have a...

    Hutts (Monster/Race)

    Yep. I came across this species of the same name on Wookiepedia, and had to translate it into D&D. So, here's another SW race translated into D&D. Eklaad History: Evolved from small elephants, the Eklaad are an intelligent off-shoot of typical elephants, but have maintained a similar way...

    Hutts (Monster/Race)

    I got bored and after watching the newest version of A New Hope decided these needed a D&D treatment. Hutts Large Aberration Hit Dice: 4d8+12 (30hp) Initiative: -3 Speed: 5ft., Swim 20ft. AC: 10 (-1 size – 3 dex + 4 natural) BaB/Grapple: +3/+10 Attack: Tailslap +6 (2d6+3) Full Attack...

    System-unique Feats

    Heroic Surge is in Star Wars d20 (the Revised Core Rulebook). As I've only been the GM for it, I'm not sure how it is for PCs ... but for NPCs, it's nice. Also, because there is no haste spell, it's the closest thing to it. As far as Windfall, I don't know. I've always used the Wealth DC to $$...

    4e D&D GSL Live

    So after reading this thread and the GSL, I have to ask something. What is the benefit to a fellow publisher to publish material using the 4e rules? This whole thing seems entirely too restrictive. If I were a fellow publisher, I'd create my own rules, similar but dissimilar enough, to 4e...

    A friendly challenge to 3.x DMs not sure about 4e

    This would, however, require us to buy those books.

    Now that 4e is out, are you into it or sticking with a prior edition?

    My entire group (7 people) have all decided to remain with 3.5 - it wasn't even a discussion. It was as if stating fact.

    4E Out-Selling Any Previous Edition. Good? Bad.

    Of course, the initial release will be huge - but I would not expect, once it has reached a saturation point (ie, those people who will play 4e), the demand will decrease sharply. I think the reason many stores did not order many is simply the lackluster response amongst their consumers. At...

    WoTC in the Frying Pan

    People on the WoTC forum (which I've recently abandoned due to a certain community manager) have been pissed about the poor level of quality of management, content, and overall capabilities of WoTC's online components for a long time now. The killing of the Dragon and Dungeon magazines ushered...

    Cats in the 4E slipcase! (NOW WITH BRIBES!)

    I've no slip case ... and my cat is 22 years old, so there's little convincing her to go into one even if I had one. :p

    Now that 4e is upon us, what will you do?

    We're sticking to 3.5e and laughing at the folks moving to 4e. But my group is mean, so that's why we do that.

    The Failure of Gleemax

    I was finished over there when a certain "community manager" began making very, very bad managerial decisions - and began to silence people who spoke out against him. The re-org hasn't helped much. It's eliminated any desire of mine to post there.

    Will Dragon cultural/politcal climate stay the same ?

    Forgive my ignorance (and possibly repeating stuff already made point of on this thread) but what prevents a dragon from taking Wizard or Sorcerer levels (whatever still exists in 4e)? I am ignorant of the class rules in 4e ... but monsters can still take class levels, right? Surely a powerful...

    Saddest Song Ever

    Many of the background songs to the anime Naruto are very sad, specifically the songs "Setting Sun" "Nightfall" and perhaps appropriately, "Grief and Sorrow" For a more western taste, and for a more modern taste, the song "Follow You Into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie is very sad. "The Ocean...

    D&D 4E 4e and Product Identity

    Monster Ghetto

    There are ways around detection, too. And dragons are smart. "Average" level of magic includes the publications of WoTC, right? Or are those high-magic? I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. What is wrong with this concept?

    Monster Ghetto

    I rather like the idea, although ... Wouldn't most dragons with Alternate Forms be able to take the form of a humanoid? I could see an ancient Red Dragon disguised as a human as head of one of the more evil corporations and/or a silver or gold dragon heading a more beneficial organization...
