This is a great idea, I'm going to try to talk some of my players into giving it a shot for an adventure. Dave

1) Get the players some liquor 2) Tell, don't ask, the players what their characters do on each activation 3) Don't bring your own dice, and forbid the players from bringing dice 4) Don't bring any rule books That ought to speed things up. ;) Dave

Insert random Freud comment here. True. However, quite a few regular readers of ENWorld didn't post there. Deep breath everyone. Dave

I have this annoying tendency to play d20 Modern characters as D&D characters. Everyone else is playing infiltrator/hacker/command types, and there's Dave playing his katana-wielding, in-your-face martial artist. I really like some of the flexibility with d20 Modern's spell users, and I like...

It would be nice to see a "History of Dragon Comics" article giving access to some of the more memorable cells over the life of the magazine. Of course, I'm sure you guys are already packed to the rafters with "It would be nice if" suggestions. Dave

New Critical Hit System? http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=starwars/article/SagaPreview5 Critical Hits To speed up game play further, we simplified the way that critical hits work. In Saga Edition, a natural 20 is an automatic critical hit that deals double damage. All weapons default to...

Six double-sided maps? That's a lot more maps than we've gotten in the past. Maybe twice a year? Probably $25. Unless each pack has non-skirmish maps. Then more like $15 to $20 (depending upon the numebr of skirmish maps). If you're including re-runs of older maps, then probably $15 to...

Just change the numbers. Instead of +1 damage for every -1 attack, change it to +2 damage for every -3 attack, or +1 damage for every -2 attack, or something like that. Dave

I don't have much to add. I've made almost every GenCon since about '93, and a went to a few in the 80s. I like going, I love the Exhibits, usually the games are fun, and it's basically my only vacation every year. That said, it is tiresome all the weird glitches and problems that come up...

Demons and devils and possibly some kinds of angels are all we need. All the extra fluff is just too much. I like my fantasy to be, um, normal. Dave

HeroForge is fantastic. It could only be made better by being made compatible with Open Office. Dave

I'm not opposed to opposed rolls. But, as a DM who often has 6 to 10 players, and often runs 10+ hour sessions, I think a lot more can get done at the table if there are fewer rolls to resolve things. Even an incorporeal check, or a conceal check, or whatever, is a degree of complication...

Sadly, I think the best way to do this is to do what you describe--convert everything you want to use into stuff that's appropriate for the CFL (Cheese Factor Level), :), of your campaign. Dave

It can be tiresome, I think; but it hasn't caused burnout for me. Yes, though I see that more from the player's in my son's campaign than from the players in my campaign. I credit this to his friends being teenagers and having more time on their hands, and my friends being 40-somethings with no...

I suppose we ought to be relying as much as possible on real-world biology and stuff here, since we're not using "handwaving" or magic to take care of the problem. The giants seems like a mammal, and, of the mammals, seems most closely to resemble the primates. Of the primates, most giants...

The paranoid freak in me wants to believe it's intentional. The rational guy in me says that this is a simple consequence of a big business being composed of departments that don't have a clue what the other departments are up to, or why it would matter to their customers. Dave

With any luck, we'll see soem hints about 4e D&D in the new Star Wars stuff, and, hopefully, more hints in another system (such as the elsewhere-mentioned possibility of a new d20 Modern release). What would be nice, of course, woud be to see a "4.0" d20 Modern release that came with its own...

I agree, and I hope that this is basically correct. Considering how much smaller the other games are, compared to D&D, it would be very wise for them to test things out in the smaller markets first, get a firm grip on 4e for D&D, and then work out the bugs. I can't imagine anyone at WotC is...

Steve Winter (WotC_Huscarl), at the end of January 2007, wrote an article on Contributing Articles for D&D Miniatures. http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=782667 Can we expect something like this for D&D generally? Can we expect community contribution as part of the expected path...

I'd love to work in some such capacity, and for Wizards. And, I have the qualifications, it appears. However, I have the lives of my wife and kids to consider, and the timing could be better. So, best of luck to everyone else who applies. Dave
