Sorry for the necromantic post, but I wanted to answer Baker's request of hearing ideas for future Q&As. This may be a dead horse, but I wouldn't mind a more precise description of what Sharn looks like from the inside out. It is something I struggle with to this day despite Sharn being my...

I can't complain about what I got, but I kind of wish we saw: -A book looking at the "Monster" nations of Khorvaire. Or maybe something along the lines of "everything outside the five nations" -1-2 more "city" books on the quality of Sharn's. Thaolist could have been real good. -A book for...

Hmm, yeah. That's the direction I've been leaning towards, except I think rolling would still play a big part. I think it is important to let players roll for their actions even they are being mostly interpreted by the DM.

I guess I put everything in the title... Well, I'm wondering how one might improve on "PbP" style of playing RPGs (ideally something with at least some crunch to it). My experiences with it hasn't been too great to be honest, mainly when it has come to battles. So to reiterate: What systems...

I think classes become much easier to handle if each player had two specialties instead of one. I know that would be a pretty big change and I'm probably not the best person to argue for it. With that out of the way, I would like to see the base classes be as broad as possible. The Fighter does...

There is the question whether Combat Superiority or Expertise Dice should be the parallel to spells, shared between Fighter and similar classes in a way Wizard shares with Sorcerer and Warlock. I agree with the idea that Assassin's should simply adapt to their situation. Acids/holy water...

The action MMO All-Points Bulletin (APB), despite being a disastrous financial failure, has an extremely detailed character creator. Unfortunately it won't be available again for quite a while.

Players in WoW people spend years working for equipment that suits their character. In DnD I can do that in a few seconds given the right campaign design. Also the graphics in my head are wayyyy better. Jokes aside... WoW isn't an appropriate comparison. Maybe if DnD didn't have DMs or...

My position is from someone who started with videogames and went to RPGs only years later. I wonder how this will turn out... Sorry if looks like a rant or something. I see it as RPGs being a type of game. Just a game. (Though I didn't expect that could be pejorative!) That makes it...

I am a huge Iron Heroes fan! Great news! I really like how the developer is sharing so much information.

-A strategy combat/action system -(Optional) Stat progression -A focus on narrative freedom parallel to the combat system -Rule 0

Needs more 4e games! Every time I find one it's either closed or has so many recruits already.

Pathfinder + E6 = smells like victory. But to actually contribute... I've been thinking on how they could make 3e simpler to the point of being more enjoyable and it almost always comes down to magic. It may be enjoyable, I think 3e magic system is what breaks it. I really like what 4e did with...

I'm looking at the very first battle map of the Rescue of Rivenroar module(first in the Scales of War AP for Dungeon DDI). Everything makes sense, but one little thing. The first battle is of the tavern, on page 13. In the middle of this map is this stony rectangle with a I think a heated...

The way I saw it, if they ever wanted to make a DnD MMO it should be more like DnD rather than MMO with a DnD name. I know this sounds like something a lot of people have said, but what I mean is, it should be a MMO where people play DnD. For example, in MMOs it is all about hitting the cap...

I know I'm late on the topic, but can some agree on: 4e is pretty okay, but the core books are disappointing. I think I'm going to like 4e a lot more when PHBII comes out.

Do you feel any type of deity role(uh... like god of sun being Pelor's shtick) is missing? On another topic, using the core alone, Bane doesn't seem very evil at all. I actually like the idea of him being neutral since his tyranny doesn't seem to be apart of his portfolio anymore.

The party I plan on running a game for has no defender. The party is made up of a Striker(Ranger), Controller(Wizard), and Leader(Cleric). Defenders seem to be the very important in keeping PCs alive, more so than a Leader or anyone else. I'm also a little worried this will be even worse with...

4e Campaigns seem to be rare, so I'm certainly interested. I'm quite flexible with what I need to play. I personally have my eye on a nomad Halfling warlord or fighter. Perhaps this Halfling isn't a nomad anymore and now is a mercenary or trader who lives within civilization. Whatever the...

Traditional is best for PHBs, neutral sourcebooks, and campaign settings. Thematic is best for follow ups with single theme with multiple entities such as race books(with 3-4 races), class books(with 2-3 classes), etc etc. Btw, that class thing only works well for 4e rather than 3e as 3e...
