One other thing, has anyone else noticed that the way the adventure is written, the allied NPCs all tell the party that a boat trip up the river is the fastest (though most dangerous) route north, but then when the DM text outlines the options, it actually takes twice as long to boat up the...

As the title indicates, this thread will have Red Hand of Doom spoilers, so please stop reading if you are playing in that adventure, or plan to do so. Anyhow, I have a session this evening in which the PCs will leave Drellin's Ferry to travel by boat to the Blackfens via the Elsir...

I'm not sure that I agree with this, it feels to me like the changes happening this time around are more significant. When they were ramping up to 3e, every change I heard about seemed like a logical choice made to improve play. However this time around, the changes make wonder whether or not...

Boston, Chicago, and Seattle all come to mind from what I see here on EN World. There's quite a few from NY, but it doesn't seem like as much as it should be considering how large NY is in comparison. We also have quite a few from North Caroline, though I'm not sure if it is in one city or...

Does Aragorn ever wield two weapons? I thought that came later (possibly from Drizzt, though I'm not certain exactly).

I'm not a fan of the mix & match core pantheon, but the current line-up seems like an improvement over the previous one that included Thor, Athena, etc alongside existing D&D gods. I didn't really like the Greyhawk-lite core pantheon of 3e, but I got used to it as placeholder names. I wish...

Yep, I have to agree with the consensus, it looks like a terrible set of minis.

Distaste for Dark Sun? Bill wrote the revised version of the Dark Sun Campaign Setting. While I understand that most people prefer the original version, I would have trouble believing that the negative changes were a deliberate attempt at sabotage.

Mine still works.

Having not seen this thread for a while, I tried to start a new thread about this adventure, but since the only post simply pointed back here I figured I'd just follow along and make my point here in this thread instead. First of all, I agree with several of the above posters who commented on...

I am surprised that I have not seen much talk of Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk around here, other than the random complaints about the perception that WotC is judging the future of Greyhawk on its sales. Anyhow, I am not looking to discuss the latter here, just the adventure itself. As...

Fixed it for you. Sorry, I couldn't resist, I've always loved the word "multiverse".

I don't think this confirms that half-elves are in the PH1. Other playtests have included races and classes that they said are not. It sounds like a lot of stuff is being developed now, some of which will be in the PH1, others which will come out later. However, I agree with you that...

I agree with some others who like changelings but voted "no". I would prefer that the PHB1 include only humans, elves, dwarves, and halflings, and that any other races appear in subsequent releases. That way only the fantasy basics are assumed to be default races in most published products.

Very well said, Reynard. Great description.

Besides the pronunciation of Ronin, I was also caught off guard by Pray-mas instead of Prah-mas, but it wasn't quite as much of a surprise since it's a personal name and not a word I though I had known for years. Anyhow, interesting listen, thanks Chris & Erik.

I doubt that the PHB will be set in stone. After all, they are just starting the out-of-house playtesting, right? I'll second the congrats to Mike though.

I can't tell you from first-hand experience, but I am pretty sure that they were touted as containing all of the updated errata.

Yeah, I have it, it's a pretty cool module. I think the price was $12.99. Spoilers:

You say "tomayto", I say "tomahto". Call it a plus to the weapon or change the character's BAB, the result is exactly the same. "Oh it's not a +2 weapon, just a weapon that gives a +2 to my attack bonus? whatever..."
