Wow! At least a dozen posts about how the Shadowfell can fit in DS and no one has mentioned The Gray or The Black. Is the Prism Pentad that hated? The Gray and The Black were the Shadowfell before there was a Shadowfell. Anyways, I am very excited about this announcement. DS is one of my...

Wrong thread, dude. All this stuff is AWESOME!

I'd, of course, love to see 4E campaign books for Dark Sun, Ravenloft, and Spelljammer. Even more, though, I'd love to see them do something based on "The Night Below" in the same vein as that "Revenge of the Giants" that's coming out next year. Reprints or new versions of the Atlas books they...

That argument wasn't intended to make sense. More to illustrate how stupid that kind of discussion can get. I was saying that I can understand why people are upset about losing those territories. I was saying I liked those territories as well, but I'm also pretty amped about what replaced...

It is kind of funny that the game that feels more like an action movie isn't the one based on action movies.

That's right, there is good struggling against evil in those realms, but whose job is it to set things right? The players, who are probably playing White adventurers, who by the powers of their White gods, the arcane magics gained via their White wits, and the enchanted arms crafted by their...

You're right, the setting will bloat again, and one is always free to ignore or change whatever he or she wants. The thing is, you have a lot more room to fill on your own with this book than you did with the previous one. Less detail means less worrying about what the repercussions of making...

I like the book. No, it's not the encyclopedia that the 3E book was, but as a framework to build a campaign on, it's better in many regards. It gives me a lot of room to breathe as a DM. I feel a greater freedom to change things to my own liking, and that applies to keeping things that were...

FWIW, the last Bond was a "return to the roots." Of all Bond films, it was the most like the books.

It's really just a sacred cow at this point, but it's also one I really like. 3-18ish stats scream D&D.

Or he didn't have skill training in hacking.

Everyone gets more awesome. Perhaps the weak mage channels arcane energy into helping him lift the bars. Or perhaps the bars simply aren't enough of a challenge to stop him anymore. At this point, the weak mage can survive supernatural explosions and getting swatted about by ogres and trolls...

What are you even trying to say? Are you insinuating there wasn't a level treadmill in OD&D, BECMI, 1E, 2E, 3E, or any other level based system out there? Or are you saying that evening out power progression turns the system into a treadmill? Explain that, please. Also, make sure to take...

This is totally incorrect. The US has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. We have practical universal literacy. English speakers are amongst the most literate language users, and English has a significantly higher literacy rate than the world's other two most common languages...

That many people have Netflix now?
