Hello Shanna, thanks for doing this AMA. I was curious about something you mentioned in your call out for kids to come and play-test No Thank You Evil - you made a point to include kids that might have special needs, including color-blindness, autism, and dyslexia. Had you given children with...

I really liked the presentation Piratecat. It felt very 'right' for this particular monster's write up. I can't wait to get my hands on the book.

I read this page daily. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into it.

I believe it has to do with stores running Encounters, a little bonus for them.

Wow, just....wow. So it's all about gaming, but takes place from 11 PM to 5 AM (yeah, yeah, I'm old). Just what kind of RPG is this anyway?

After our playtest I got thinking about the auto-damage from the Slayer and MM. My problem is with auto damage in general. In D&D there is no difference between a monster with full hit points and one with just a few left. With these abilities though those nearly dead monsters are no longer a...

I think this might be the hardest thing for WotC to overcome. There are other very good games out there doing what D&D used to do for me. I don't need another edition of D&D to play the games that I want - so I can be very picky with the new edition. Like mkill says - it will either be better...

My group is going to playtest it for sure - our current campaign is ending this week, so we'll be ready to go when the playtest starts. As for switching (we play Pathfinder right now) I'm not sure. I voted that I'd play, but wouldn't switch. I'm really not sure that WotC can make a game that...

Any one of these ladies could probably model for that entry.... LINGERIE FOOTBALL LEAGUE / LINGERIE BOWL FRANCHISE - TRUE FANTASY FOOTBALL

I do not want WotC to rush the game. I never said I did. Like most people here I want the next version of D&D to be fun, something I want to play. I'm willing to wait for that, however long that might take. The point I was making, perhaps badly, was that I don't understand the point of...

Yes, because that's the point I was trying to make.

If the public playtest was going to take months to roll out then don't announce it. Don't get me all hyped up to play the next version of D&D and then have me wait for months to do it. When I heard about the playtest for Pathfinder I went to their site and downloaded the rules and started...

If this is real, and not a fake, then why not just post the document rather than posting what he remembers. He mentions not having the document in front of him "now" as he begins to write, which makes it seem as if he's got something, a document, he was able to walk away with. If that's true...

Love: The ease with which I can DM a game. Thank heavens the CR system got the axe. LOVE minions. What a great idea. Love the change to the save system, and that wizards have to hit with spells (which scales much better than 3.5 save DC). Hate: The character classes! In an effort to make them...
