Well I can see I'll be buying a pack of Character Record Sheets and taking the hobby knife & glue to re-cover my PHB. Unless they swap the covers first. :D

'Your playstyle is juvenile' is either elitism or trolling, so far as I'm concerned. You're either saying that you play D&D more "correctly" than someone else, or getting a reaction is prioritized over actually having a conversation. Of those two, I respect trolling more, so I was trying to be...

More than likely the gathering of fluff and the building of a setting with that fluff, because some of my best world-building is done filing off the edges of interesting tidbits and making them fit together. "We have always been at war with Arkhosia"?

Well, had a feeling 'juvenile' would come up somewhere, along with the ability of D&D to teach anything (that your GM knows about and makes you work through, assuming the principles he understands are correct, since otherwise you're actually learning -bad- information). I think we're clear...

Well, my day to day life is composed of 10'x10' rooms, traps that far outstrip the local level of technology and mechanical knowledge, and silly jokes that make magic happen. No, I don't get it either. It's the rallying cry of the old editions; "D&D used to teach you things!". Sure, if your...

I'd say Mastermind/Boss/Leader/Whatever, based on Mearls' rebuild of them, they'll be meant to accompany some ogres and lend them some magical might.

Capstones of the creature scale, and famous ones to boot: the gnome from the flashtoon (lair and minion included!) and the red dragon from the famed Dragon Fight article.

I personally prefer numbers for the aesthetic symmetry with my other numbered dice, but once I'm rolling more than 5 or so I prefer pips because I find them slightly easier to total.

I already voted on this, and I still want dwarves to just get +4 Con. Little mountains that walk like men.

*cough* Lolth (Lloth in the drow dialect), the Demon Queen of Spiders, is the chief goddess of drow elves in the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing game. She is also known as the Spider Queen and the Queen of the Demonweb Pits. :p

Alright, well, full marks in missing the point entirely in favor of The Struggle. Fight on, brave internet warrior. This seems like a pretty silly (and inappropriate) place to have set up your soapbox, though.

The ease with which "a significant percentage of men and a given percentage of women have been known to enjoying seeing this" becomes, in the minds of some "men masturbate to this compulsively" always fills me with joy. No, wait, what's that other thing? Right. Loathing. That was it.

XX) All 4e threads are for the express purpose of rehashing the same old tired complaints disguised as a response to the thread in question. I'm so meta I banned myself.

Wait, what?

All bolded text added by myself, but I believe that's a little closer to accurate.

My thoughts exactly.

Same way gnomes pass for halflings. From a distance, wearing a cloak, or in the dark.

Lolth is also described as a God. The term appears to have gone gender-neutral. Works for me. There aren't many adventuresses either, though my spellchecker appears to accept it. Not 'spellchecker', however.

Tallfellows have a greenish cast to their skin and pure black eyes? Looks like gnomes slid much closer to their fey roots to me. YMMV, I suppose, but ain't no halfling.

/shrug Just a "might". Looking forward to 18+ Strength kobolds if you're right, that's for sure. You can set a mighty hard trap spring with muscle like that.
