Wait, so if Michael Bay did a remake of Watchmen would it be Baywatchmen? owowowowow! I think my soul just imploded.:eek:

Does that make the Cantrip version of Timestop "Dude, wait ... what?"

Great list. I would love to see WotC follow up on this and make it a reality.

Several years back someone posted a spell named Petal Rain on the forums. If it didn't get eaten in a server tranfer can you good people help me locate it? My search so far keeps leading to the Story hour forum, but I don't have time to read through to see if it is actually there. Thanks!

Sure can. Our groups often have multiple things going on. The weekly group tends to have a couple different campaigns alternating play time and other people run one-shots in the breaks between switching main campaigns. Plus we sometimes have the opportunity for convention games, tournament games...

I like slow level gain combined with good adventuring. For me it makes the levels more enjoyable because each one has a story or more to tell and I've gotten time to play with what my character's capabilities are during that time. The survey mentioned 2 hours of play per week and reaching level...

You missed an important option for the poll: All of the above.

They could always go with Crystal D&D. The books would all have translucent acrylic covers in varied colors. :p

Here's the quote from the article that gives me pause. "For example, instead of the fighter having to spend a single action to make multiple attacks, we might say that the extra attacks that the fighter gains as he gains levels are effectively free actions that the fighter takes on his turn...

I'm not sure why you would say that. Roles as they are in 4e were not part of the game until 4e. The game did well for decades without roles being boxed up neatly as mechanical functions, instead being more like advice. The game has always had shortcomings and I don't see a lack of mechanically...

Back in 2007 while running my Ptolus campaign people always had their phones at hand and once in a while a call might come in. We sometimes used texting for simulation of a special magic item one character had (see Piratecat's adventure - Of Sound Mind) that let him hear a bit of conversation...

I posit that perhaps they lack the will to be so brave as to rise against wizards. Peasants sometimes rise against kings, but only after long suffering. Besides lack of will there is lack of immediate means coupled with fear. Then perhaps it is up to kings to be the wizard slayers. Though...

Something to keep in mind about play testing. Typically you can't expect to have the entirety of the documents that comprise the rules available to the specific group. Most documents are likely snippets involving pregenerated characters designed to test a variation of some elements of potential...

I definitely welcome this. It just made my must buy list.

Since random tables can take up a bunch of space then the best thing would be to show examples and explain how DMs can create their own. Rolling on a table doesn't have to be a rule, it can and should be an option. And yes, if you want things in your game and the players are amenable to it, you...

Looking at the logo ideas presented, I picked out the following ones as appealing to my eyes: #4 - good, but not for the main logo. This could be useful for inside a module. #7 - clan, but dull like a blunt instrument, maybe useful for something like a physical prop (dungeon tiles?) #14 -...

Had D&D not come along I would have been primarily into board games, war games, and chess.

I think it is important to have death of characters as something to be concerned about. Otherwise play can potentially devolve down to the party fighting anything even when logic dictates they should run for their lives. I'm currently running a sandbox without tightly tied plotlines so death is...

That's the beauty of it, very house rule friendly without really requiring any.
