I think a bigger problem is that if they stick with the "one season per book" idea and don't change the timeline, the child actors will age out of their roles too quickly.

In my case, I'm assuming that every thing said about the dysfunctional nature of the relationships in Twilight is true (I have no interest in reading it myself.) I just don't think that people -including young girls- are so fragile that fictional dysfunctional relationships will cause them harm.

"Very much like" does not mean "identical." Of course the two situations are very different in some ways. I think they're similar in that the concern is unwarranted.

I think Twilight is about as likely to create abusive relationships as D&D is to create murderous devil worshipers.

I haven't tried to run Scales of War, but the first thing I do with any Dungeon adventure is figure out how to reduce it down to 6 or so combat encounters.

In high school, my friends and I loved a band called Psykosonik, that had overtly William Gibson inspired cyberpunk lyrics. I haven't listen to them in years, and it might seem pretty cheesy now.

Given the history, Christmas must be a pretty tense time of year at the WotC offices. It would suck to work in that kind of environment.

There's a story, but I don't remember the details. Some sort of Magic-related in joke.

No, there isn't much in the book besides hunger, sickness, cannibalism, pain and death. But this complete lack of romanticization is exactly what sets apart from most of the post-apocalyptic genre, IMO. That said, I'm not sure the book needed to be a full novel. There are couple hundred pages...

The "eh, whatever" alignment in 4e is Unaligned, which has the benefit of avoiding everything you've described in your post.

I can see the appeal- if the players really like 3e character creation, but the DM really likes the way monsters work in 4e.

To be pedantic - I think what's being discussed here is value proposition, not return on investment. :)

In an exception based system like this, I think creating an interface that non-programmers can use for customizations would be a project at least as big as the character builder itself.

This is how I'd do it. d20 Modern/Future characters could be dropped into a D&D 3e world with almost perfect mechanical compatibility. The PCs would be completely out of whack with regard to challenge rating, but that's to be expected.

I played the gold box SSI games in the late 80s/early 90's before I played any actual table top D&D.

There's been all this talk of it being more of a board game than an RPG, but there doesn't seem to be a board- or even a battlemap- in that picture. I wonder where you put all those counters?

Lemon Curry. The decision to buy or not depends on the content of the books, not the number in the title.

This is explicitly intentional- the "everything is core" philosophy of 4e also applies to trade dress. So don't expect the Dark Sun books to look significantly different from any other 4e books.

My guess is that not everyone who plays 4e feels the same way about 3rd party support.
