    Higher Level Minion Additions

    As someone who's thinking of putting together a minions-only supplement, I applaud your ideas. Damn you for getting to them first! ;) I was thinking for troll minions, they could take an immediate savings throw to return on their next turn with 1 HP.

    New Ritual: Mental Pulse

    I half agree and have don't. I was thinking a very similar thing when I first read it, though. First off, love the idea! Very usable, cool, and versatile. I think the minimum distance might be shorter, though the maximum distances might be right. It would be cool, to have ranges like 1000...

    Dragonkard... what do you think?

    So I check the news here per usually this afternoon, and I see the news article for Dragonkard. Then I notice that they seem to be on the banner at the top of the page just about every other refresh, so I check it out further... Dragonkard Now, I'm not one to use power cards in my games (I cut...

    Advice for Gamers in Society

    Why? Because the ignorant should remain so? Because we don't need people to accept the hobby as an appropriate way to spend our time? I'm a pretty intense Christian, I'd have to say. Church on Sundays whether anyone will go with me, all-night vigils around the holidays... but I'd never put up...

    D&D Storms into Theaters Nationwide

    I stand corrected :erm: That's an unfortunate and in my opinion out-dated perspective. Normalize? I thought we were past that in our movies and media. I stand corrected. Hopefully there's brighter publicity ahead.

    D&D 4E Homebrew setting I'll use for 4e

    FF: Crystal Chronicles was one of the first things that came to mind. Also, Final Fantasy IX had a huge "Mist" entity. Crystal Chronicles, though, definitely, right when you spoke of the journeys through the mist, which is exactly what that game is all about. I think your world idea is...

    Cursed Items

    I completely agree. I love the idea, and a lot of DM's seem to like them, but I find that the execution is often just a whole lot of frustration. I try to emulate the effect by making the drawback of the item completely plot-oriented, or any other way I can avoid drawbacks that are just...

    D&D Storms into Theaters Nationwide

    I think it's great that D&D is gonna get some more exposure in this movie. Publicity is publicity, especially when the evangelism of the hobby is a bit weak these days. 4th edition put us back on some front pages, but D&D's constant identification as a feature almost as synonymous with being a...

    [Poison Ivy Press] New Faces for a New Edition!

    Oof, quite right! Does that if you don't include the "http://". Thanks so much for that heads-up!

    [Poison Ivy Press] New Faces for a New Edition!

    @Joela: We currently do not have plans for our initial products to sell through Paizo. This may change, however, for future product lines. @Jack99: We've been having some latency issues over the past couple of days. Give that link a second shot :D @HalWhitewyrm: Haha, it appears we have found...

    Feywild, Shadowfell, and Usage

    Hey there! Alright, I'm new to this, so I'll ask your forgiveness for my ignorance on this matter... One of the things I noticed about the SRD is that it doesn't have many of the fluff-terms listed, for example the planes. I don't see the Astral Sea, Elemental Chaos, Feywild, or Shadowfell...

    White Wolf: What's the Deal!?

    I don't think anyone I've ever met has ever complained "I just can't figure out when this new Wizards product is going to launch!" if it was going to be released in the same month. Infact, go to Amazon right now and it'll list shelf dates months in advance. The reason you don't see books ordered...

    White Wolf: What's the Deal!?

    Yes, but you're assuming I mean specifically Hunter or Vampire or the other WoD companion games. I mean World of Darkness. Just the core game, even. I was using Hunter as an example of their poor marketing skills (ie: someone here wasn't even sure if it had hit the shelf, I assume after they'd...

    White Wolf: What's the Deal!?

    But that's what's the worst part of the whole equation: World of Darkness is a very accessible, playable game. Horror is a much more familiar, comfortable genre for the average person to explore than fantasy, the game system is more more simple and teachable, and it takes place in a modern...

    White Wolf: What's the Deal!?

    I looked around, yes, and you're right, I did notice staff members in the forums. But the forums aren't well orginized, or well populated. I'd check it out now to make a more concise point, but my connection timed-out every time I tried in the past hour. It also means that marketing and...

    White Wolf: What's the Deal!?

    I am also uninformed, and am speaking out of my rear-end when it comes to industry, costs of hiring a web-team, etc, but really... How large does your team need to be so that you can have a news update that says "We just re-released our new powerhouse franchise. Just letting you know" -IV

    White Wolf: What's the Deal!?

    I don't even mean just the community, though! Where are the publishers? I'll stray from WotC for a moment... Keith Baker. Wrote a campaign setting, people buy it, people love it, people play it incessantly. But he's active! He's out there at confrences, he's writing articles for Dragon...
