    IMPORTANT! Should EN World continue reporting RPG news?

    I'm not here that often any more, so my opinion shouldn't count for too much, but when I found ENWorld back in 2001/2002, I came here primarily for the forums. I never had the front page/news bookmarked and always skipped past it. I concur with Erik Mona's point that the news as constituted...

    Morrus gets married today!

    Congrats, Russ! Best of luck, and have fun on the honeymoon! Don't do anything Rel would do (unless, of course, the wife is involved).

    Trailblazer in a Nutshell?

    To add to what Glassjaw said, it also is presented in a toolbox manner - any given set of changes can be pulled out of the whole and used in place of its counterpart in 3.5 - you can use JUST the classes or JUST the combat changes, etc. One of the really cool bits that follow along with this is...

    Thu 7-11pm and Fri 10am-2pm - Piratecat's Feng Shui - "Infestation" (accepting alts)

    I would love to get in the 7-11 game - all my games for Thursday cancelled!

    May '10: What Are You Playing?

    I've got the next two days off work, and I just might pick up Red Dead Redemption at midnight tonight!

    Does D&D have a Brand Manager?

    He probably means that someone with as key a position in the D&D brand hasn't even thought to stop by the #1 D&D fan website to say "hi" and introduce themselves. To be fair, it's always taken a little while for this to happen - the Rouse didn't show up here until after a similar thread way...

    Logging in to EN World

    You should probably post this in Meta - the admins will stand a better chance of seeing it there and might be able to help!

    [Monsters] Extreme Elimination Challenge!

    Achaierai - OK either way. Digester - cut Lillend - ehn. never used one. Phantom Fungus - cut Phasm - cut Rast - cut Ravid - cut Sea Cat - cut Shocker Lizard - keep, kind of like these Thoqqua - cut Tojanida - cut Xill - Keep; to me they're a D&D classic Yrthak - cut

    [MONSTERS] Monster Advancement - Implied Simulationism

    I'd like the monsters to be primarily defined by role - kind of like how 4E does it - and then modified by size, type, etc. Then a few key abilities added. One of the things that really annoys me about 3E is the way that creatures like Fey and Undead are really unsuited to combat roles due to...

    [Trailblazer] Any difference between the PDF and book?

    I'm sure Wulf will chime in soon on the full reasons, but my understanding is that it's partly #2, partly #3. Also, the PDF is probably updated now so that it matches the book, so if you already have it the changes will be reflected there. Ah here's some info from the Bad Axe forum:

    Assassin's Creed as a D&D campaign

    I also have the second game - if I were setting it up as a campaign I would use a background similar to AC2's, where the PC's would be tied to one group, without knowing its true purpose until later. As you put it, the PC's are outsiders looking in; they need to be directly involved and given a...

    If you had 1 year to plan a weekend of gaming, what would you do?

    Each group could have their own specific agenda and/or goal; heck each PC could have their own agenda/goal, which might not be immediately apparent. You could build in specific goals that are shared by PC's that are intentionally started off in different parties, such that the original parties...

    [Weekend Design] New Classes?

    It would be an interesting change - I think the Bard in 3E lacks the ability to pull off the warrior part of the warrior/scholar role, so I think I'd like to see a full-progression bard. Or, you could make the bard your default warrior/arcane half class, which would allow him to fit in the...

    Why do DM's like Dark, gritty worlds and players the opposite?

    As you've only been a member for seven years, perhaps you haven't had time to learn the rules of ENWorld, oh wait, never mind. If you have an issue with a mod, email him. Responding in thread is not the way to do it. Enjoy your vacation.

    Counter spell

    Well, my idea would be that a wizard could only counter spells directly targeted at him. So if the enemy wizards cast spells at the fighter, you couldn't do anything about that; likewise if he cast a fireball, you couldn't do anything about that either. So it would be more limited than the...

    Counter spell

    To expand on that idea, using a feat like Silent Spell or Still Spell would make a spell harder to counter. I'm personally shooting for a Harry Potter vibe with this.

    Counter spell

    I personally don't see a big problem with a spellcaster using a reaction to counterspell, but if that is an issue, how about making it a reaction plus an action point? Also, I don't know if this is core or not, but I'd allow that only versus spells that specifically target the spellcaster...

    Alternate Magic Systems for 3.5?

    That was an awesome recap of each of the systems, thank you very much! I think I might have to get True Sorcery and Thieves World to check those systems out... I do have Arcana Unearthed, so I know that system a little bit though I've never used it. I'll outline my goals for my next magic...

    Alternate Magic Systems for 3.5?

    What sorts of alternate magic systems are there out there for 3.5? I'm looking for something to change up my standard D&D setup, and I'd like to see what systems people have created before going to the effort of trying to reinvent the wheel myself... My ideal system would be a little like 4E...
