I answered 1 here. What WOTC does with their time, their company, and their own PR...I honestly can't be bothered to care about them and their antics. What they do as a whole doesn't effect how I view D&D as a game that is separate from the company. What they do and say has no bearing on how I...

Do it yourself then. I didn't wait around for TSR or WOTC to do it for me. I did my own research and when I use these places, I alter what stereotypes I know of and research what I don't. You're just being lazy at this point. You want to complain and whine about not having other settings, but...

I'm not really sure how the natural language thing is an issue. "Entering" and "Move into" are the same thing. Definitions will use different words depending on the dictionary, such as "To come or go into..." or "To set foot into...",but they all mean the same thing: the person entering is...

So..I'm a little lost on what you are after then. I tried reading through your discussion, but it seems like you are upset that we don't have different places to explore culture wise. We use to back in the day. Kara-Tur was the Eastern influence, Maztica was the Aztec and Myan...and I think...

Good article, as far as always (I have only had the pleasure of reading two so far). I have to agree with it, personally. To be fair, never really "worshipped" Gygax, never really thought much about him outside of just 'the guy who invented DnD'; he was just an author and nothing else growing...

Good review, but still not buying it. When I can get my hands on it at a bookstore, I'll take a bit of time with it and see then, maybe the videos they put out and all the reviews just aren't doing it justice for me to spend that kind of money, but I have a feeling that it's still not going to...

Yes...telling people the thing they enjoy should go die in a fire because YOU think it sucks, but in fact, they should be supporting YOUR product. Yep, totally works for all other retailers and companies, sure... I'm getting my coat on RIGHT NOW!!! and going down to my local game store to camp...

Oh wow, thanks for the lore info! I know you said spoiler, but I'm DM so it really doesn't matter. I have taken up the mantle from my father as the forever DM and it is mine now LOL!!! I have a couple ideas now for the Ghosts of Dragonspear castle. If I can link it to the campaign I'm thinking...

It might be lol, but still, going to just have distinct ones just to make it easier for me and other players that might have the same problem. I would rather go through the confusion and figure out a way to explain it, rather than just go and have my players confused and then have no fun lol. I...

Oh, I see...I mean, I get it now...it just seems so redundant to me. I might make it where there are just white keys and black keys, with the special keys, that way it's easier for me to DM. I'm also starting to realize that I might need to make a note for my players to keep with them so that...

So...okay that doesn't make sense to me. I thought I had this down lol. Okay so, do they have separate glyph keys, or not? Also, how would I know if I have a glyph key for that black gate? That might be just me and I'm willing to accept that...I might change that bit around then if it is just...

Yeah, I think it would have made things just a little easier to explain it a little better. Like I said, it seems overtly complex for no particular reason. I think I'm going to turn in though, my medicine has kicked in thoroughly and I really don't want to confuse myself anymore, the drowsiness...

So...Let me run this by you, because...I THINK I get it. Going to use your example just so we are on the same page if I actually don't have it. - The Abyssal Prisons is the SECTOR - The Fiendish Arena, Temple of Chaos, Abyssal Gate, and Halls of Conditioning are ZONES - The Vampire in The...

Hello! So, maybe it's just me being sick, maybe it's just the time it is right now, maybe I really am just that dense; but I can't for the absolute life of me figure out how these damned gates work! I have read and reread the section that explain it. I have watch videos that seem to make it...

Pen names are still being used though, it wasn't just a 70's or 80's thing, by a lot of current authors. I think it's less of a "I have to hide that I'm a man/woman" but more like, "I want to go by a different name for a different genre." Lemony Snicket is Daniel Handler, saying it was more of...
