    GSL news.

    Great news! We'll have to get a cleaning crew to mop up the mess from the conspiracy theorists - their heads just 'sploded all over the place.

    Who has paid the $5000 (what companies)?

    I know that Wolfgang Bauer raised $5000 to put towards the license fee in a matter of days via his Open Design project. Necromancer certainly claimed they were right there, and at least one other company publicly said they were ready to jump. I think there were plenty of people ready to take...

    Gamers and Theatre: Is There a Connection?

    Professional engineers compared to professional theatrical/film people sure - but there are a lot more of those in general - and no one does a little engineering on the side in the way that amateur actors and such might work at little dinky theaters out in the sticks, or who appeared in a few...

    Are you going to buy an EXTRA copy of the PHB?

    I doubt I'll buy a second "table copy" but if I like 4E and want to get people to play, I think its likely that I'll be buying a few folks PHB's as birthday presents.

    Help with a naval adventure

    Well, as far as the Kraken goes, its kind of like the story about running away from a bear - you don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the other guy. The Kraken may well sink the ship and kill a bunch of crew, but individuals can escape. How widely accepted is magic in your...

    Where is the GenCon forum?

    I'm not sure when the GenCon forum will be brought back, but I'm sure we will have one. I'd imagine it'll be pretty soon.

    PCs With Recharging Abilities... Why Not?

    I think there's a big difference between "roll a die to see if I succeed" and "roll a die to see if I'm even allowed to try."

    PCs With Recharging Abilities... Why Not?

    My take on it is that its something like this: Monsters recharge because it makes running the monster simpler, yet still varied and with an illusion of choice that causes multiple encounters with the same creature to unfold differently. PC's have more options, and having a player roll a die to...

    Anyone good with Word?

    Goobermuch's suggestion is probably the better (and more likely) one for your first issue!

    Anyone good with Word?

    Sounds like the formatting marks are set to be viewable? Look under Tools>Options>View tab>Formatting marks. I'm guessing something is going to be checked in there. I'm not sure how to resolve the double spacing... EDIT: Look under Format>Paragraph>Spacing and see if you're set at Line...

    D&D 4E 4e Monster Manual excerpt

    I've always pronounced the French way, which would be mal-uh-bronsh. It never occurred to me that it might be pronounced differently...

    D&D 4E 4e Combat - Environment the Most Deadly?

    I'd expect this to be the case as well; in 3E you get a DC 15 reflex save to catch yourself if you fall off of something, IIRC. I'd be surprised if there isn't some sort of equivalent "last ditch" sort of thing. All we're seeing, for the most part are the PC's and monsters - and of those only...

    I know that Scott Rouse has said that the virtual minis will NOT be randomized, but I don't recall any other details.

    Moderator Elections

    I can see where you're coming from - but the one nifty thing that mitigates that is that we are also learning that we can create these communities from scratch all by ourselves, just be applying some very basic skills - after all, creating a new forum is amazingly simple... While on the one...

    Explain the Fiend of Possession's Weaknesses

    Lords of Madness might have some anti-far realms PrC's that might work well for this - I don't have my books handy, but it worth a look if you have it.

    opinions of "Asterids parlor"

    Putting my "Moderator" hat on here for a moment, I think this is a fine thread, and everyone is handling the subject with maturity (momentary stop while I check if anyone has reported it) but it has skirted (ahem) a little close to the politics rule on occasion. Just keep that in mind as we...

    opinions of "Asterids parlor"

    I think you misread the situation. That wasn't a Diplomacy botch. That was an Intimidation success. Sadly, I'm not even close to being joking about that.
