Issue #8 features "Battle Cries", by Mario Podeschi. Issue #6 features "The Truth about Tieflings" written by David Zeb Cook. Interesting in light of this: That's an awesome resource which (if you're interested) can be usefully supplemented by 1) Monte Cook on tiefling personality in his...

A significant amount of setting-neutral and rules-light stuff in KQ is actually geared to be particularly useful for 4E players. I mean, battlecries for warlords and insights into tiefling personality? If you think such things feature prominently in 3E games, you must be kidding yourself. I...

I think the original incentive for addressing the letter to Leeds is that he received negative fan mail (a pretty safe speculation, if you ask me). Since he, and not other people, presumably took the main gist of that, the poster thought it fitting to send the letter to Leeds as well. I agree...

@Hussar and Neuronphaser Have a look at the dungeon visuals in the R&D article I cited earlier, Design & Development: The "Delve Format" for Adventures Click on the image - I think that's your dreams come true. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/designdev_format1.jpg

Sure, 4E includes such cases, but only cosmetically. Or can you cite a single instance where such cases affect the actual EL's? No? Because if they don't, then the mechanical impact of these things has been nullified. And if that's true, then single room encounters are just as mechanically...

As an example of enhanced visual content to a module, consider these fan-made visuals for Goodman Games' Dungeon Crawl Classics. Goodman Games • View topic - None the Wiser's 3-D Wildsgate Excursion... I pick them any day over bland repetitions of 2D visuals.

I'm not going to replicate everything that's been discussed in a thread I started on that topic on another forum, but I'd recommend you to have a casual read if you're interested. I linked a pretty interesting R&D article by WotC on the delve format later on in discussion, and there's other...

Troube at Durbenford. It's a mega campaign for 3.5, and I think it's Rob Schwalb's finest work for D&D (any edition) to date. It's AMAZING! You get a mini-setting akin to the Nentir Vale, a city, tombs, dungeons - everything. Every type of adventure is covered (this making it the ideal companion...

Zachary, you made my day. Guys, watch the video to its bitter end (or forward, once you got the initial joke). That's the perfect imagery for what WotC is currently doing, as faithfully predicted by Ryan Dancey for some time now. :lol:

Wow, that was quick! Thanks for that clarification. I'm glad you also put it straight on page 1. Little things like these further add to the impression that WotC at least deem it important to enter a direct means of customer communication at all. This is in stark contrast to the...

Those people will be cut down next, forced by WotC staffers equipped with shiny "Prolonged Reading not Appreciated!" buttons to the cashier.

It's already been pointed out how that figure is ambiguous between 90% of all copies and 90% of all PDFs. Piratecat here. They've asked us to clarify that Greg Leeds is referring to PDFs, not physical copies, when they use that figure. That such an ambiguity is left to stand speaks bounds of...

How dare you imply that 5 players rolling d20 + a fixed ability stat (+5 if trained) under the name of 17 entries is less varied and challenging than 300 combat powers with highly varied effects and conditions? Also, your claim is easily devalidated by having a look at the extent of creative...

I'd just like to reciprocate that compliment. For many people*, the edition wars have been a wonderful if emotionally highly charged opportunity to get even clearer about how to decipher general design principles and match these with (or against) personal preferences. * Or should I say, "for...

Hey, can you tell me what those ten are? I've got the two from Goodman Games which I love to bits (Saga of the Dragon Cult, and Heroes Arise), recall WotC' Players Kit and the Necromancer's Wilderlands and City of Brass being boxed sets - but where are the other five?

Again, that's a mindset I find laudable, but I see no evidence in the RAW for it. Appealing to the stat block's simplicity doesn't tell either way. And, as I said, I find it telling that the p.42 in the DMG is solely designed to cater for "actions" of the PC "the rules don't cover". Ah, here...

Is the page you cited is your base (or worse, sole) evidence for the fact that 4E encourages the DM to forego RAW on a particular occasion if, on that occasion, this would fit his understanding of where the "plotline" should be heading? If it is, then I think you risk confusing two things which...

I've heard that many times before, and I agree with those who don't think this observation is ultimately telling. Mind you, we had this debate when 3.5 came out and the chapter on combat in the revised 3.5 precisely had this switch from feet to squares. What bothers me is less the...

Psion, you see the button next to your name in this post? That will take you to the post the quote is from. Problem on EnWorld is that everytime I quote you, I miss out all the bits that were quotes in your post. (Beat's me why that should be so, but there it is.) Here is the post I was quoting...

I strongly disagree with you guys. Something the designers officially confessed cannot possibly termed a "conspiracy theory". Another RPGA regular: To summarize: "Delve-style events at conventions led the way in identifying this need. DMs running such events often have no time to prep before...
