    Effect of 4th Edition on DDO

    0.06% market share = 20,000 subscribers. That's not a success under any category.

    D&D 4E What was Paizo thinking? 3.75 the 4E clone?

    If it makes the many feet of 3/3.5 books I have as valueless as 4e, then what is the point of switching to PF over 4e? I don't see how spending $400 on PF is any better than $400 on 4e.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Annoucement!

    I don't read this as Paizo giving the finger to WotC in the least. I see this as a business decision to stay liquid. Having to wait another 6 months or more before being able reasonably start releasing product again is a good way to disappear forever. They say multiple times in the piece that...

    Gleemax Q&A

    I'm not sure what he'd want in a more personal area, but I'd like a section/page that allows me to set up announcements to my group, notes about the next session, set up calendar appointments (maybe this is already possible) for our gaming sessions, reminders for players, DM, etc. But I...

    Will we get a classic Chimera? (ie. no dragon head)

    I always liked the dragon headed Chimera.

    D&D 4E 4e font?

    Yeah Trebuchet is a decent Mentor Sans stand in. That's what I used for my monster blocks that I put together a couple of weeks ago. I'll have to try out Cambria for Mentor. But, yes, to be sure, Windows has terrible default fonts, Arial and Times New Roman need to be eradicated from the world.

    D&D 4E 4e font?

    Good to know. It'd be nice to be able to use the Lolth font for my campaign stuff, but I'll have to be satisfied with some "similar", though there isn't much close to it.

    Armor & Coins - please, No.

    Sorry, I didn't mean controllers, obviously. What I mean is heavy, medium, light, none categories to fit the front line, support, ranged and casters categories. Generally, people get the best armor they are allowed to/can afford to get. You won't see many fighters past their first adventure...

    Armor & Coins - please, No.

    Me personally, I'm not buying 4e until they bring back Ring and Splint mail! [/tongue in cheek] In reality, I always thought "the great wheel" syndrome took over after the list grew beyond None, Shield, Leather, Chain and Plate mail. Chain shirt? Plate Armor versus Plate Mail vs Full Plate...

    D&D 4E 4e font?

    I really like the font used for the 4e stuff and I've poured over the net looking for what it may be with no luck. Is this a WotC developed internal font? It's a great font: expressive, readable, and thematic. Anyone know what it is? To be clear, for reference, I'm talking about the font on...

    Draconomicon: surprises ahead! (scoop + speculation)

    This would be the same as the original D&D rules: white, black, green, blue, red and gold were all that were shipped in Book 2.

    Draconomicon: surprises ahead! (scoop + speculation)

    I think you're closer, but I don't think it's we need a blue dragon... I suspect it's we need dragons that breath: Fire! What other elements can we have dragons bring, everyone expects dragons to breath fire. Can we make a new challenge? What about other elements? Earth? not so much. Air...

    Draconomicon: surprises ahead! (scoop + speculation)

    I don't see how: Red = Fire White = Cold Green = Poison Black = Acid Blue = Lightning is so confusing. The color doesn't come from their environs, but rather from their breath weapon, which is more germane to an adventurer's concern. Which isn't less valid than the environs from which they...

    Gary Gygax has passed. RIP beloved father of RPG's. (merged)

    Any chance the front page can link to the NY Times Obit instead of the CNN rehash of the AP obit? The NY Times one seems to understand the impact that this man had on the world beyond "he created some game that nerds used to play" Link to the NYTimes article...

    Monster stat list

    I hope you don't mind, Nick... I grabbed your very nicely compiled data and looked at the pictures from the upcoming MM and tried my best to duplicate their format. I made very few edits: reordered them alphabetically (mostly, I kept the skeletons together and such), replaced some commas with...
