It might just be me, but I disagree about this point. Taking 20 on search checks is fine at my table, because it's the Disable Device check, the balance/jump check to cross the pit, etc, etc that brings the chance of death/injury. Knowing it's there and getting past the trap are two different...

I'd happily play a bard anytime. That would actually require someone else in either of my two groups to run a game though, which isn't going to happen anytime soon.

The first two modules have beautiful artwork, and some pretty nifty ideas. The Steamjacks, Skorne, and the image of PCs on a riverboat cruise through Gatorman infested swamps all struck as being wonderful. However, the actual meat of the modules was such a mess of railroading, UberNPCs and...

Some companies give stuff away for free, some don't. The Wolf will charge so long as people will pay, that's just a fact of business. If nobody buys this, I wouldn't be surprised to see them either stop putting the extra material out there, or just do one for free.

If I absolutely had to cut something it would be either Attacks of Opportunity, or Prestige Classes...although neither in their entirety. AoO just need to be set out more clearly, and trimmed back a bit so as to not to dominate combat so much. Prestige Classes would be fine, if the various...

Excellent news from Reaper, and perfect timing if you ask me. When it became apparent that non-random minis wouldn't be coming from WoTC, I decided to go back to GW for the first time in years. Their army deals are brilliant- the Orcs and Goblins deal has given me 100 orcs, goblins, dire boars...

I'd strip out the Halflings. They used to be a lot of fun, when they were still tubby little hobbits. Since the annoying kender-isation of them, none of my players are interested. They prefer Gnomes these days, which is interesting seeing the Gnome-Hate here. :) I'd also lose the half-elf. It's...

Would this be a good time for us to ask that you spill the beans on the project? Pretty please?

Given that WoD is/was/will be White Wolf's best known and longest running game line, I can't really see them shelving it in favour of D20 anytime soon...especially not since that would annoy and alienate just as many (if not more) fans than their dropping of the D20 lines.

Tome of Horrors is a darned fine 3e monster book, especially if you have a hankering for some classic monsters from 1e. Crucible of Freya is a top notch low level adventure. Especially when combined with The Wizards Amulet (free download on the necro website) and the free expansion material...

Fair point, I was simply expressing my own opinion there.

Excellent, that's the kind of thing I'm much more interested in seeing on the shelves, as opposed to what would amount to a Special Edition reprint. Looking forward to seeing what you have in mind. Yes, I did know that. And I'm quite confident that it'll be worth the wait because of the talent...

huh. If I apply for a job and don't get it because the employer finds somebody who's better suited to the position in question, then that would actually bear some resemblance to my preference for the WoTC line. Maybe I hit a personal sore spot with you or something, but I'm failing to see how...

I'd rather see them still part of the magazine personally. Of course, I can only speak for myself with any authority, but I wonder how many of us would drop Dungeon if the AP were to vanish from it's pages? I know I would.

It'd be nice to see a hardcover AoW out there, but I don't know if I'd actually buy it when it came down to choosing between that and something altogether new. Also, with regards to WoTC publishing adventures? I'm all for it, because it means I get Expedition to Castle Greyhawk, FR super...

The only time I've used the word was when the players in my 'PlaneScape Bounty Hunters' campaign were sent after "the notorious Gish, Threnz'ktai". They asked what Gish meant, the NPC told them it was a Githyanki word, and that was that. I do recall though that when he killed two PCs early into...

Hey RedFox, not seen you round these parts before (I'm dungeonmeister on RPGnet). As for the adventure- The classic flooding room trap is always a must in pyramid dungeons. Especially when you have undead tomb guardians lurking in the depths...or maybe delaying the PCs escape as the room fills...

Big monsters have lots of hit points, as a general thing. Some weapons do more damage to them so that it's a little easier to win a fight with them. The variance between the damage ratings vs speeds and what have you is there to make the choice of WPs important, and gives the Fighter a reason...

That's Shatter Soul you're thinking of isn't it? . Sorry 'bout that. Anyhoo, death has never been a minor inconvenience in my games, and I wonder how many people play up the consequences of ressurection in games? Fr'ex, in my Age of Worms campaign, one PC has been raised twice. Not only has...

Most of my games do see the standard races drop into the same archetypal roles over and over, but that's largely because we like them that way. (We being my group, of course). When we want to play the gruff dwarven miners, cheerful halflings, and ancient aloof elves etc, etc we come to D&D. It...
