Well, since it's here... PHB4 Shadow, Primal and Martial Heroes The Bright Plane: Secrets of the Feywild From Beyond: Secrets of the Aberrant Draconomicon 3: Gem Dragons Bel

Voted Hardcore, I play a different game each week, DM D&D FR 4E, Pathfinder, M&M and GM Shadowrun. I have hundreds of rpg books and now only buy what looks interesting to me, for reading or playing. Know what the "Forge" is and largely ignore it. Bel

IMHO, yes however just not as extreme as they did. The changes from 1E to 2E and 3E to 3.5 were mainly superficial, involving mainly minor changes to characters and combat. Level access and limits for the various races and classes and things like AC, thac0 and a deity's power level. 4E took...

I've been running a Realms campaign since the gray box, thru four editions now and though the 4E changes were a shock it didn't really affect my game. We finished up our 3.5 game just last November with characters at 15th - 18th level and rolled up new characters for 4E, I moved the base of the...

I have to disagree with the premise, also. The ratio seems to be constant regardless of the total player base. However the ratio of casual to hard core seems to decrease in regards to the age of the players, at least IMHO. Bel

Yup, it's Skulduggery. Bel

About twenty years ago when I was sharing a house with a couple of guys who were in my FR campaign, I finally had to move due to job considerations, we divided up the rpg stuff and somehow I ended up with two copies of the 2E Seven Sisters FR accessory. I contacted the other two guys and neither...

This is pretty much an update of the old follower, henchmen and hirelings rules from 1E & 2E, I really kind of missed them, the leadership feat never really did them justice. Bel

Aside from the characters I named above, I do have many npc's that I have used and gotten attatched to, some are former pc's that left adventuring due to injuries or loss of interest. Bel

I've been playing D&D since 1977 and I have cared about most of my characters, especially Baran, my Ranger from 1E and Belorin, my Eldritch Knight from 2E both of which have built strongholds. 3.5 gave me Odhran the Bard plus some others. I also have a Call of Cthulhu investigator whom has...

Demonomicon - really looking forward to this Hammerfast: A Dwarven Outpost - a generic dwarven town HS1 Reavers of Harkenwold - part one of the Shadow over Nentir Vale HS2 Raiders of the Stonemarch - part two Martial Power 2 - meh Player’s Handbook 3 - Psionics, Minotaurs and Githzerai! Player’s...

Both 2E and 3E had guides for building strongholds, 2E had the Castle Guide and 3E had the Stronghold Builders Guide. Both provided rules for finding and clearing land, cost of materials and staffing. Both were very rule orientated, but can be a good source for ideas. Bel

Well, okay it's not like you've steered us wrong before, I have faith in you Rouse! Bel

Neat as in wow you won't believe what the new system does or wow, welcome to Gleemax: TNG? I've been fooled before... Bel

Yes, I know we've seen most of this all before and I personally can't wait for a Fey book or even a Feywild book, books on Primal Spirits, and Primordials. It almost seems that Wizards is afraid to release new material too fast, as if the game might not hold up or something. Bel

I use both roleplaying and storytelling in my games, the storytelling is my part and the players roleplay. Bel

This will probably date me, but all I could think of when I saw the Demonomicon cover was the bad 'Z' movie "The Giant Claw". I'm just glad I wasn't drinking anything or I'd be looking for a new keyboard! I am looking forward to a lot of the new books, especially the race and location...

Well, there will definitely be an encounter builder, which I believe will include skill challanges, traps, terrain and more. After that there should be dungeon builder for placing the encounters and terrrain, etc. A treasure builder for creating items and packets. A world creator for those that...

The focus of the Playing... articles is shifting with the shift in focus of Dragon and Dungeon magazines. Dragon will cover the player side while Dungeon covers the DM side where the Ecology of... articles will be found. Bel

2. I use a published setting (Forgotten Realms). I've been running in the FR since the Grey Box, through 2E to 3.5 and now with the 4e move, I have moved my campaign from the Gray Vale to the Moonshae Isles. Bel
