I'm not sure what harm is going to come to Wizards by making the core rules DIGITAL version free, when they are probably already considering releasing something similar to an SRD. Print copies have costs, and those are never going to be free. But the digital version? Releasing the a free...

One of the main things that the Pathfinder RPG had going for it in the early days at least was cost. You could download the beta ruleset for free. And they eventually came out with the printed version which cost money. This encouraged a lot of players. I think Wizards has learned from this...

Minions are awesome. Really awesome.

Agreed. Kill it with fire. The party that dings together brings together. Or something. In fact, I don't want to see ANY XP bonuses, really. For the same reasons as above. Also agreed. The people are once again duped by the evil vizier... Oh wait. No, because any king worth his salt...

It's clear to me that we need an optional module for boobs. That way we can bring everybody back to the fold.

Dear Wizards, Our members greatly support recent proposals to bring back the Vancian magic system, and we strongly support this proposal. While some are concerned about workday implications for the typical adventurer, we assure you that our adventurers are some of the hardest working out...

No, I think perhaps I just forgot in *my* old age. :-) Really. Wouldn't get very far playing D&D without Monte Python and the Holy Grail. Actually come to think of it, I tend not to get very far playing D&D *due* to Monty Python and the Holy Grail...

I personally hope that 5e allows players playing by basic rules and advanced rules to play the game at the same table for one reason: I have kids. I like games that give me tons of options, but that sort of system is next to impossible to get them started on at the age my kids are at. The...

If that's a riddle, then I'd choose Input.

I suspect 5th edition will bring a lot of us back. :-)

That is not dead which can forever lie. For in strange eons, even lurkers may submit reply.

My rules are bit rusty but... How many times a round can that dragon hit with Tail Strike? And how many times can it be used against the party per round? If you just run past the dragon, can it hit you every time you leave a square? Can the dragon just bull rush someone and then whack the...

So I picked up Talisman 4th edition because I always loved the 2nd edition game, and now there are enough expansions (Reaper and The Dungeon) for it to be more interesting than my 2nd edition collection... I tried it out with my 4-year-old, and enough though he's never really been that into...

It sounds like a great idea. Speaking from a LOT of experience, let me just tell you. It's not. Party distrust turns to party violence and player bitterness.

I hated the delve format in 3.5, and I started to appreciate it in 4e... Then I started to run adventures and I realized the horrible, creeping effect that the format had upon the adventures. I've been using minis for D&D since 2nd edition. I didn't need to know the exact square position...

The iPhone won't kill D&D, but I do think that it will be transformed. We're already seeing it. 1) How do you build a character in D&D 4e? There's two methods: a) Pull out the books, roll your dice, do the math. Takes about 1-2 hours. Difficult to explain and you need multiple books to...

What I don't understand is why WotC still deals with this exclusive license garbage. It's clear that there's a demand for D&D games. It's also clear that Atari isn't satisfying that demand (either in number of titles produced and in quality of titles). Computer games could bring people into...

Isn't that the one that gives your second level fighter a Flametongue? Or was that Cleric's Challenge... Good times.

It's a bit early for that. I have to say the shaman is really interesting healing wise. The party dynamics for healing are entirely rearranged. Anyone can spend a healing surge to help someone else with the basic healing power. That's an intriguing dynamic.

I don't think the religious assassin concept is that apt, actually. You CAN play it that way, but I don't think it's core to the class. Stealth just isn't that important to an Avenger that I can see. It's just more like single-minded, brutal pursuit and isolation. Imagine Tommy Lee Jones...
