You're talking about renting a space or something? Yes, I can see where that would be pretty pricey, but that's not really the norm, I don't think. If you start including all the ancillary stuff like gas and food, then sure, I've spent thousands, but that's going to be true of any activity...

I just have to say that your mileage really, really varies from mine. I've been playing the game since 1980, and I don't think I've totaled $1500 yet. Maybe if you include snacks.

The case which prompted this thread involves the PCs finding themselves in the middle of a clearly unnatural sandstorm, so it's not just a fishing expedition ;) .

You've raised a number of really intriguing points here and above, but I don't think this is how I would view the spell. It seems to me that the spell *has* to be able to figure out what point B is, just by description. If you were teleported to the middle of a maze you'd never seen before and...

So by extension, maybe 4e yugoloths should just be Canadian demons?

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but could you elaborate on your reasoning here? Is it an object only in the sense that it's not a creature or a location? And what about the earthquake example? Thanks again.

Anyone?

It's pretty clear that find the path doesn't allow you to define destinations in reference to creatures or objects that may be found there. But what about defining a destination by an effect present there? For example, let's say there is a magical storm that stays in a certain fixed position...

Does the area of effect for control winds move with the caster? Here's the spell, for reference: The case for moving with the caster is based on the first sentence of the text: "You alter wind force in the area surrounding you." Arguably, if you move, so does the area surrounding you. Given...

I played it in 1980 with the Holmes rules, and I played it in 2006 with the Holmes rules.

It wouldn't be the first time that this, ahem, source was mistaken about 4e. They were also telling folks that 4e wouldn't be OGL for a good while after that rumor had already been quashed by WotC.

For the most part, I run them as written, but I do tailor the proper names and geographical details to my homebrew, and occasionally swap out a monster or two to suit my preferences. That said, I have actually run Maure Castle in Nyambe, which required a little more fiddling, to say the least.

We're 50% Macs in a group of 8, and I believe I'm the only one with an Intel Mac. And though I might be able to dual-boot my MacBook, I have no intention of purchasing Windows or a virtualizing environment just to run DDI. (I would be very interested in a "reduced" DDI subscription that...

Indeed! I had forgotten about that. 4e, of course! (Actually, I'm one of the few who doesn't have much of a problem with 3e grappling. Just get rid of the size bonuses).

I see a lot of griping about how complex grappling is under 3e, but surely it is way simpler than what was presented in the 1e DMG, isn't it? I mean, I love the older editions (especially Moldvay), but I have to admit that the unarmed combat rules, at least as first presented, were completely...

Is there a difference between having Windows users subsidize Mac users, and having English-speakers subsidize Swedish- or Hebrew-language editions of the PHB? I suspect the economies are somewhat different, but is there a difference in principle?

Even more ironic is the fact that I spend 95% of my non-browsing time on my Macs in Terminal windows. I'm fairly sure vi will be compatible with 4e, at least.

I think it's surprising if you assumed that Insider was going to be a Web portal of some kind, and thus platform-independent, rather than (at least partly) a client installed on your local machine. I don't know about anyone else, but I wasn't expecting *that*. And it's a drag. Obviously it...

I have the patience of a 4-year-old. I am, however, excellent at lurking.
