I'm in the Brattleboro Vermont area myself. Any of you near-Vermont guys interested in 3.5 or Pathfinder?

I'm going with the option not provided...waiting until a printing with errata updates added in.

The problem with adhering to balance in everything is that it makes the D&D worlds of 4e a fair world. In my opinion, it shouldn't be one. There shouldn't be a perfect balance between the races or the classes either mathematically or thematically. What's the point of choosing between races and...

I think the one thing this thread proves is that WotC made a mistake by permanently linking chaos to evil in the 4e alignment system. :)

I've always preferred rolling up my stats as opposed to the point buy or standard array so I try to talk my DM into doing that as much as possible. Given the reduction of random aspects to the game in 4e, however, I think it's going to be less and less possible for me to do this. So given a...

I'm only surprised at how many people are plainly and openly confessing to committing a crime on a publicly accessible online forum where their IP address can easily be obtained. It takes no great mental leap, however, to assume that considerably more people who have no intention of buying the...

The funny thing is, it's quite possible that Buy.com will actually deplete their stock, leaving a bunch of people who just changed their orders stuck waiting for more books to come in. Then they'll be getting their books after Amazon customers. Better still, this'll probably allow Amazon...

I complete agree with that. I'd like to buy more often at my local gaming store but the truth is, some of the measures they've taken to keep in business are too much for me to handle. Hot, crowded, noisy rooms filled with unwashed Pokemon and Magic players are just not inviting me to come in...

Agreed.

It's a good day. I just sold my books for $350. I didn't bother looking anything up, but I can say that the books really look good. I do think that the paper is a little thinner than I'd like, but otherwise they appear to be well made. I never would have thought anyone would make as big a...

It's correct. Fallcrest is the DMG example village. There's supposed to be a sample adventure there as well.

It's my opinion that WotC (or at least the 4e design team) have come to the conclusion that Chaotic = Bad and Lawful = Good. Therefore Chaotic cannot be aligned with good in any way, nor can Lawful be aligned with Evil. That simplifies the old system tremendously, and even neutral would no...

Magic items, weapons, and armor will still be given out in my game, exactly as written except for the bonuses to attack, damage, and defenses. All +x effects are going to be dropped, and I will not be compensating for it by giving the PCs more ability modifiers. I'm just going to tailor my...

Everything he said, exactly.

I agree completely. I expect we'll see layoffs in six to nine months, and a few months after that new 4e companies will be born. I also expect that Mearls will be running one of those new companies (no offense, Mearls). But that'd be cool, since Iron Heroes is my favorite game since 3.5 got...
