There is some logic to it. The question is whether 4e is a "failure." The only definition we have of success is 3.0/3.5 (no one would call that edition a commercial failure). So it seems like our best way to guess at the "sucess" of 4e is to compare it to 3e. Wasn't there a 3e PHB2? Did that...

I find your arguments unpersuasive for the simple fact that D&D isn't a historical simulation and the classes have a D&D expression that is unique to D&D. In other words, D&D Druids are simply that -- they are not ancient earth druids.

I don't think there has been ANY confirmation that those were the core classes in PHB1. That list could include prestige classes from PHB1 and/or core classes from PHB2 (or 3, 4, etc). All we know is that these "classes" will "be included" in 4e.

Both statements could be true. They also said there will be prestige classes. We don't know how PrC will work. But some of these classes may become PrC.

This calls up a good point. We know there are 8 base classes but we also know that there will be prestige classes. Knowing that paladins are "in" doesn't mean that they are a base class. We also don't really know how Prestige Classes or multi classing will work. What is there were four base...

I just listened to one in which they described the 3rd ed bard as the "class that wandered in from another game."

I'm pretty sure that the designers are intentionally focusing more on what makes D&D "unique" from other ideas or worlds. (i.e. to focus on the distinct D&D "IP" concepts like beholders and drow) -- things that were created by the game rather than the ideas that were appropriated from other...

But did you believe it was beautiful going into the movie :)

It supposed contains a couple deleted scene. here's someone's description of a couple: "Now for the clips that appear to be from ROTK, but were not in the theatrical version. I am hoping these will be in the Extended Edition! Snippet of Merry bowing to Theoden outside at Edoras. (We have seen...

Yesterday, my local Costco was showing a DVD by National Geographic about Return of the King. It was some sort of documentary. I saw a clip that was not in the theatrical movie. Merry was kneeling on the balcony at Eldoras (about where Eowyn stares wistfully at the horizon in TT). He kneels...

Aw . . . that explains what happened to the Orc general . . . .

Have you heard anything about deleted scenes in the Return of the King EE? So far I have heard rumors of the following: 1) "Houses of the Healing scene" 2) Some sort of avalanche of skulls during paths of the dead sequence. (This is taken from P Jackson's comments to the shooting script. It...

Yep. I liked it, too. It can't compete in the special effects department with bigger movies. (it only cost 22 million to make). But it looks pretty nice for a low budget movie. I found the plot entertaining, too.

Will that include a reworking of the meta magic feats?

I understand you suspicion of online reviews. In my opinion, the favorable online reviews I've seen have been accurate. (Gambler gave a long (and mostly accurate) review on this webite.) Midnight is a good campaign setting. From my perspective, if there is a drawback to the world its that it...

I see a few nods to those books. (By the way I love both Game of Thrones and Midnight so the inspiration-- if it exists -- I see as a Good Thing). Midnight is clearly a seperate invention (even if it wears it sources proudly), but I do see some references: 1. First, you have Izrador himself...

Wil, I just bought my copy and I've read about half of it. Nice work on the book -- it has been entertaining to read. But I was left with some big picture questions. (I have not completely read the book so I apologize if these answers are in there somewhere). Its clear from the stuff I have...

Remind me again, what's wrong with titillation?

Tiefling, Sagan, I don't think the question is whether Jaime IS evil -- his character is clearly changing. Most cultures and religions believe in the concept of forgiveness and redemption. How you get to this place varies depending on the outlook of the religion -- however, the starting place is...
