These days I don't expect a commercial to educate its audience. The audience can educate itself with five minutes of typing & clicking. All the commercial has to do is get you interested in whatever its trying to sell.

Are you implying there are straight people who drink Miller Light? (Actually, I take that back. I wouldn't wish Miller Light on any demographic.) Beers, -- N

She can never recover. Worse, she is now the eternal target of conquest by James T. Kirk. Actually I'd probably allow a wish spell to fix her. Cheers, -- N

mIRC is a popular IRC client. Perhaps he means it moved to IRC and the client he uses is mIRC. Cheers, -- N

I'll go further and say that lots of people playing games is good for the hobby, and who cares what in specific they're playing right now. Not if you want to fly Economy it isn't. Cheers, -- N

Yep, that was me. I'm assuming humans are humans rather than sleepless aliens, and that probably means we aren't native to this particular world. There are lots of RPG-appropriate ways to travel between worlds, including magic. It's interesting to consider how Earth species might adapt. For...

From what I've seen recently, there are at least four different kinds of 4e players: 1/ Those who buy yearly DDI subscriptions (and then might play other games while being subscribed); 2/ Those who buy sporadic monthly DDI subscriptions (some of these guys are very vocally unhappy with...

You may be right regarding Psi Power, but the new Red Box is supposed to appeal to a wide audience, isn't it? It is WotC's "grow the game market" product. Cheers, -- N

I wonder how many 4e players have stopped buying books entirely, and rely on DDI subscriptions instead. Me & my group are five such people. Cheers, -- N

Unfortunately, now that you've mentioned two different editions in a single sentence, you've doomed the entire thread. "Doom, doom, doom", -- N

He's a guy! With a blog! "Watch your back!", -- N

I think you are assuming that the planet-moon orbital plane lies within the planet-sun orbital plane. Either way, though, "short cosmological" time is plenty for an intelligent species to evolve. Our own moon will fly away in "short cosmological" time, but that doesn't mean a heck of a lot to...

If they're paying for DDI, they might argue that they did buy the toys. It's not free. But I think many people complaining about not having CB working are the ones who do own at least one of the newer books. So far as I can see, they're frustrated that they paid twice for some source material...

Oooooookay, so for all the turns out of the day that the Barbarian isn't using his Rage class feature, he is a mindful killing machine? - - - I don't think your claim holds up, though, even as revised. Barbarians keep their Uncanny Dodge even while Raging. This means that, even at their most...

(emphasis added) They get more skill points -- and from a better list -- than Fighters & Clerics. They get the same "canny cunning" as Rogues (Uncanny Dodge + Trap Sense). Sure, they're Illiterate, but that's not the same as being mindless. I know this because I was born illiterate, and only...

The errata team has been on time so far, no? Still, it's nice to see that the update is both on time and that it is small. Cheers, -- N

That is solidly awesome. Wow, very interesting. I see all kinds of amateur mistakes in the original. They did a GREAT job cleaning that up, and distilling down the good parts. "Remember kids, you can't call him Uncle Smelly when he's around." But yeah, I totally agree that the Red Box is a...

39. ... however, the jargon changes rapidly. Products from a different decade usually use different words to mean pretty much the same thing.

If you had just left the broken post there instead of deleting it, I could probably have recovered the original contents using the edit history, which seems to be visible to the original poster. - - - @ Hobo: If there were a significant moon, it's very possible that the planet wouldn't be...

Nope. But c'mon, you're not willing to suck down one point of lost BAB for full Sneak Attack progression? That's just absurdly greedy... about something largely irrelevant.
