Nah, I've read it enough. It has a bunch of books on DTRPG, with the most recent having been published in April. Someone must be buying/playing it.

Did someone pull Exalted 3rd edition from the market when I wasn't looking? Or Shadowrun 6e? The idea that the only medium to high crunch RPGs getting published right now are 5e, Pathfinder and other D&D derivations is simply false.

Hasbro has the Marvel toy and game license. You can find the press release on the net. It was signed back in 2006 and went into effect at the beginning of 2007. So, that license probably covers the ability to do a RPG, and if anyone at Hasbro was going to do an RPG obviously it would be WotC...

The funniest part of this debate to me is that my group has always used 1-1-1 movement for squares in 3.5, and it's not even a houserule per se. The other members of the group just never noticed that rule, and must have figured all squares cost the same as the default, as far as I can tell...

Yeah, that's how I feel. I generally dislike errata, don't care whether it's released or not, and absolutely don't want errata included in subsequent printings of books. Back when I was still playing 3.0 I hated the fact that the 2nd printing of the PHB included errata, since some of the...

I didn't see a poll option I liked, so my response is "Umm, I don't know, why would it matter?"

I'm glad to see changes to FR. And I'm disappointed that internet fans stopped the same from happening in Eberron. My thinking is, I have the 3e FRCS. I have some of the supplements. I don't need to buy them again. I don't want a 4e FRCS that details the same stuff as my 3e version only...

I like it. But then I probably would have liked any replacement of the Great Wheel. I've got books that detail the Great Wheel already (3.0 MotP, 3.5 DMG, was it in the 3.0 DMG too? And let's not even get started on the ton of 2.0 books that were printed on the subject). Why do I need...

I used this for one loremaster I played in a 3.0 game. He was a replacement character for a cleric that had died, so he started at 9th or 10th level, I forget which. I had him take Improved Familar and he ended up with an imp. Since the character was a loremaster he had UMD as a class skill...

I went to do a search today and noticed I couldn't. I think I renewed during the missing time, though I'd have to look at my bank statements to be completely sure. I know I had the ability to search prior to the downtime.

Mr. Mxyzptlk is CN. :) He doesn't care about doing evil, or personal gain, or anything like that. He just wants to be entertained and he figures beating Superman is a good challenge.

That'd be Lady in the Lake. It was on some cable channel this past weekend, 'cause I saw bits of it. The first person thing was kind of distracting to me, but I didn't really get into it.

There's a WWE focused OGL game called "Know Your Role". Here's the link to it at the enworld store. I haven't played it, so I don't know much about it. I have seen it discussed in the OGL forum in the past few months, but search didn't cooperate in finding any threads.

Orcs are being assiminated in at least the human country of Thesk in FR, last I read. It's talked about in Unapproachable East. I don't have PGtF, so I don't know if the timeline advance changed anything, but UE mentions that the orcish armies left in Thesk after the fight vs the Tugian Horde...

Hmm, maybe. After thinking about it some since my first post, I'm leaning towards using the "striking an opponent's weapon" rules, primarily because the spell description includes the words "Striking at an opponent’s weapon". Though, as that's just an opposed attack roll, I don't understand...
