I'm not a subscriber, but I can echo some of the thoughts already expressed, to explain why I'm not, and possibly help shed some light on what others might be feeling as well. * I just don't subscribe to online services. Especially message boards. * The quality of posting on Enworld has...

You could use pork for "longpork". Scallops, oysters, clams, or crawfish might work as exotic underdark meats.

$35 isn't too bad, but yeah, it'll depend on the sculpts and the paint jobs. Especially since I already have some really nice metal beholders with good paint jobs.

Mutants and Masterminds and Star Wars Sage ed. Might get to play come CoC later this year.

Thus the last sentence in my post!

Beware of Amazon. They are notorious for their shipping dates being waaaay wrong. Sometimes you'll get it quick, but usually it'll be late. You're best bet is probably to hit the local Borders or Waldenbooks if you manage to have a 25% or 30% coupon that week. Otherwise, you're paying cover...

Vancian magic. I don't mind slots to restrict how many and how powerful of spells can be cast, but I hate the memorization and fire-and-forget aspect of it. I let all my spellcasters be spontaneous casters. Clerics are a little funky but I just seperate PC clerics from NPC priests and that...

I haven't put words in anyone's mouth.

also, its not so much that anyone NEEDS this, its just that they WANT it. Nothing wrong with that. Really. What some would call a "crutch", others would call "options". A 32 page booklet with mundane gear, animals, and maybe some new alchemical items to boot would be an nice product. Maybe...

I find it shameful that Andy stated that he wouldn't be able to understand how to play the game by reading the old Blue Book now. I mean wow. Really? I'm older now too, but I don't feel like I've lost my attention span, or somehow become less intelligent.

But its so much more fun to be dirty! :p

Yeah, there's a lot of "badwrongfun" in this thread.

Alot of really good ideas here, this is an excellent thread. I haven't played alot of the published 4E adventures yet, but I have a few. I can sum up my ideas with: Less combat, more exploration and story development. Plots and storyline need interaction, discovery, and conversation, not...

C'mon guys, I hope you're honestly not trying to say that there won't be folks out there that this scenario WILL happen to. Yes, there are ways of recovering, yes there are plenty of alternatives for backing up. But lets be honest here, you KNOW there will be people that for whatever reasons...
