    I'm a little depressed, and I don't want to be the only one.

    Does anybody remember when we were kids and couldn't play because we had homework to finish? Oh how we wished we were adults so we could play all the time. :D Little did we know huh?

    Ecology of The Genasai

    Did anyone else notice the shai'r class was mentioned in this article? Does that mean we'll see this as a real class, possibly as the Elemental controller? Hmm.

    Barbarian Class in this month's Dragon !

    Not to derail the thread again but the online format has worked out really well for me personally even if it may not be right for everybody. I mean at least so far I've gotten several issues worth of articles for free, I know that won't be that way forever but for now it is, and I don't have to...

    DM's: How much cheating do you have to do?

    Since 4e came out I've made a conscious decision to not cheat as much. I used to cheat in 3e all the time, either to keep the players alive or to keep my enemies from dying in one round (no dig on 3e, it just happens.) Not cheating is hard. Two players died and I've had a few monsters go down...

    I used to LIKE third edition...

    I feel your pain original poster. I too have attacked 3e because of the need to defend 4e. That's always the problem with these wars. You stake out your position and you get so used to knee jerk defending yourself that you close your mind to other ideas. I think the same is true on both sides of...

    Farewell to thee D&D

    See to me casting a ritual using incense, circles drawn in chalk and mystic runes in order to summon a demon (or yes even magically summon a mystic disk) is very fun for me. It screams magic and behaves just like magic I've seen in movies and tv for years. The flick of the wrist magic stuff is...

    We need a unified optional game system or this hobby's gonna die

    Imagine people actually liking D&D! The shock! The horror! I'm sorry if you don't like it, if you've moved on, but you really shouldn't disparage other people's choices. Leaving aside the fact that a lot of D&D people have spread their wings on other systems and games (heck I know a lot of...

    Splug : KotS (Warning Spoilers)

    Well Balgron and Splug are not exactly friends as I understand things in the module. I'm sure if he could Splug would very much like to lock Balgron in the cell and see how he likes being tortured. I haven't gotten there yet but I intend to play up Splug as a real conniving con artist (for a...

    Knight's move question

    Knights move is listed as a Range power. Does that mean it provokes an attack of opportunity? I thought it might since it is a range power but it seems a little silly that the warlord would provoke an AoO in addition to losing an action just to be able to let someone else move. If I ignored that...

    Plot Ideas hidden in 4e

    I think the same holds true for Paladins. Alignment drift won't affect their powers. As for your question I noticed a lot of stuff that would make for interesting stories. One particularly interesting one was the way artifacts work. If an artifact is angry with its owner (it has a low...

    New Gnome Look

    I maybe the only one who feels this way but I like the Gnome design we saw all too briefly in the Tiefling and the Gnome video and I'm disappointed WoTC went the half-pint elf look they showed us in the MM. The new Gnome is supposed to be fey all the way and I thought the design in the video...

    Magic Shields and Bracers

    Does anyone know if the enhancement bonuses of magical shields and bracers applies to AC/Ref? Is it just shields? Or is a shield always a +1 to AC/Ref (if light) or +2 if Heavy no matter what the enhancement. The PhB makes it look that's the case because it doesn't provide a + such and such...

    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    Love 'em both. Dragonmen are a staple of fantasy that I've wished were part of D&D since I played Wizardy: Crusaders of the Dark Savant when I was a kid. As for Tieflings they were an incredibly popular race in my groups in 3.x and now they are just as popular. Love 'em.

    Cover/Concealment Questions

    As you might have guessed from my subject title I have a few questions about cover and concealment. I couldn't find these answers in the PHB. Sorry. 1) Do they stack? if a kobold is behind a low wall and in fog do the PC's take a -4 to hit him or only a -2? What if it's two different kinds of...

    You know you've been getting into 4e D&D too much when...

    .... The only way to pay attention at work is to imagine it as a Skill Challenge .... Your first thought after jogging is I just lost a healing surge. ..... You continue to walk around while on fire because making a save doesn't require an action.

    What kind of PC game do you want from 4E?

    Please sir may I have this? I've been very good this year. :D

    Why new editions are good for the game

    That's a very good question. I personally think WotC is doing the right thing by coming out with 4e. If they really want to make money however they should leverage their biggest asset, namely the D&D brand name. I think they should do something similar to what Marvel is doing, namely make some...

    Marketing criticisms miss the point

    For those who don't know ex WotC staffer JD Wiker had a post in his blog where he said that he isn't going to play 4e because WotC botched the marketing but everyone should check out 4e anyway. (I would link to it but A) I don't know how and B) it's on the Enworld front page). While I applaud...
