Forgiven. ;) For the record I agree with you. I think what Wizards has done to them (allowing the license to produce Dragonlance material to lapse and effectively barring them (MWP) from putting out material for the world that they created) to be downright shameful, arrogant, and petty. They...

I don't think that's correct. I think you COULD put a stat card with the mini - you couldn't use the D&D name on it without some sort of license agreement, that's true. The stats couldn't include anything from the licensed-only material (as far as abilities, powers, etc), but there is no way...

There may as well be. With the reduction in the amount of spells they have now (let's face it the entire "wizards suck now, so we'll make the better and more useful in 4e" crap WotC kept shoveling has been proven to be nothing more than crap!). A first level wiz/sor in 3.x has MORE spells and...

I think that they suck! Their new system is just awful (could they make it any more D&D Minis and any less D&D?) and their attitude towards gamers and 3rd party companies is not just harsh, it's downright offensive and insulting!

I have that same problem (same form of color blindness even) when I glance at my books too!

Just for simpler downloading I zipped those JPG images and I made PDFs of them (for those that want them - and separate from the adventure in general). The URL's for these are: RoO_MapsJPG.zip RoO_MapsPDF.zip Hope you like them. :)

This doesn't equate to a good thing for the gamers though. Imagine if your wizard has attained one of these rare powers, do you (as a player) want to have to buy dozens upon dozens (or more) randomly assorted $8 "booster packs" of powers cards until you get the ONE CARD you really want/need - or...

absolutely not. If my group and I wanted to play the miniatures game or World of Warcraft we would. We don't. We play D&D because we like to play D&D, and not because we want some emulation of some D&D inspired or sorta-kinda-but-definitely-NOT-D&D game. We're sticking with 3.5 and the OGL 3.5...

I think the problem comes from the hard push by Hasbro to sell miniatures. The minis didn't do as well as they'd wanted (no one there thought about "limited" "collectible" minis not being high on the RPG gamer's list of "must haves" and didn't think to make many not-so collectible "common"...

And on THAT logic Frodo wouldn't have needed all that time in Rivendale to recover after being rescued by the giant Eagles. And the saving throws in the game are a joke. 50/50?! That's a joke, right?! No matter how powerful or nasty the creature is you get a 50/50 chance to save... So shaking...

What it "feels" like to me is a more enriched version of the miniatures rules and a watered down more table-top applicable version of World of Warcraft. Sorry, I'm not buying it. If I wanted to play WOW or the minis games I WOULD PLAY THEM! I play D&D for D&D, for the character, the strategy...

So since they've taken out non-lethal damage capability in the game, reduced skills to almost the foot-note level they were at before, and over-emphasized the "power, power, and more power" of the game, does this mean the game is essentially nothing BUT an encouragement to do little other than...

Well at least in 3.5 I CAN do something else other than the one or two per day and per encounter spells than "magic missile, magic missile, magic missile"... And frankly, being able to do it at will every round of every minute of every combat, all day long is just pathetically cheap and stupid...

Castles & Crusades If you don't want to do "D&D" by title anymore (though you could stay with 3.5 as I think there's a ton of stuff available and there's a lot of people that will still make stuff for it since the bulk of the system mechanics are truly open OGL license material (opposed to the...

The down side is they've gone completely power-mad about this. Let's face it after that ONE REALLY powerful spell the wizards gets daily, it'll be "magic missile, magic missile, magic missile, magic missile, magic missile, magic missile, magic missile, magic missile, " until the sun comes up or...
