And there was much rejoicing. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0864.html

I love the focus 4E has on flavorful, detailed combats with lots of character abilities, focus on terrain, etc. as obstacles, and long combats with lots of choices. I feel this version of D&D captures this the best. It fits the feel of important combats. On the other hand, I am attracted to...

I went looking for these after I lost the spot I was storing my online magazines. Have the archives been trimmed so only the 4E articles are online, or am I missing them?

I was reading a recent article on the ICV2 website. It was talking about how MtG's success was a bright spot on a not so great quarter. There was an interesting quote about Hasbro's take on WotC's management and why MtG has gained in the marketplace. Now, I know some here would find this...

In a few other threads there are discussions about what makes a great adventure. One thing that was made clear to me is that part of the appeal of the classic Keep on the Borderlands and Village of Hommlet is the fact that they have strong bases for the characters. What other adventures have...

I have been reading a lot of discussion lately about certain problems people have in their D&D, things they want to change to make it fit their preferences with style, and even some discussions about what D&D is "about." Thinking about my experience in other RPGs (which is pretty extensive...

The wizard said his goodbyes and now we are on for the battle for the last survivor! Important new rule: This round we are voting for the last survivor (as with the TV survivor show rules). Vote for the class you want to be the LAST SURVIVOR.

The sorcerer lost it's battle to stay and we are down to the final three of: Fighter Rogue Wizard Who will be voted off this round to bring us to the final vote? Vote for the class that you want to vote off the list. Please don't bias your vote by looking at the running results, or the...

Note that I am calling the previous round a little bit early, as it appears to be insurmountable in the remaining time. The race looked like it might be close early on, but the barbarian is voted off and is quite angry about it. The results of this round will determine the final 3. Will there...

The ranger barely didn't make the cut to the top 5. So, here we announced the top 5 in 4E class survivor. Barbarian Fighter Rogue Sorcerer Wizard We have 2 arcane, 2 martial and 1 primal (who is almost martial). We also have 3 strikers, 1 controller and 1 defender (I guess it really is...

The Avenger said goodbye just in time to avoid unlucky Round 13. This round will determine the top 5 classes. Vote for the class you want to remove from the list. Please don't peek at the votes, or discussion before you vote.

I have always had a soft spot for the heroic pulp fiction of the Shadow, Doc Savage, Tarzan, the Avenger, etc. Justice, Inc. started my path in pulp roleplaying, and it carried over to the fantasy pulp of Eberron (still planning my "Doc Savage and Eberron" campaign in my mind). However, I just...

The Druid wandered off into his grove the last round. We are down to 7, and closing in on the top 5. There is a clear favorite this round, based on previous round's voting. However, we have seen some surprises as there are more votes shifting when a class gets eliminated. Who will be...

I have been a bit out-of-touch the last week or so. I know Scott Rouse announced his last day, and it has passed. Have we heard anything about his replacement? I would be very surprised if such an important position was left vacant.

The Swordmage said goodbye last round. We are down to 8. For this round we are back to short and simple...Vote for the class you want to remove from the list. Please don't peek at the votes, or discussion before you vote.

The paladin says goodbye this round, although it was a back and forth battle. We are down to 9. This round will be slightly different. Since the vote seems to be predictable (although who knows where those who voted for the paladin will swing), I am making this vote public and will be...

Is it me, or have the WotC updates been broken since the site "upgrade"? Normally the site would put the updates up at midnight Eastern Time on the feed and the content calendars. Now, those are updated, but the links go to nonexistent pages until much later. Is it just me? Is there a...

The Invoker was voted off last round, in a vote that was not close. We are now down to the top ten. What class will be voted off this round? By all you know the rules. Vote for the class you want to remove from the list. Please don't peek at the votes, or discussion before you vote.

The warden left last round, completing the "war-" classes. What will be next on the masses "hate" list? On to the round that will determine the top 10 survivors. Rules 1) Vote for the class you want to "vote off the list." 2) Please don't look at the current tally or the discussion before...

Finally, a non-leader gets voted off (apparently only because no leaders are left) and we say goodbye to the warlock. Are we going to see the strikers voted off in turn now that the leaders are gone? Are the votes going to start striking a different type of theme now? We'll see what the next...
