    Monster Manual: Legendary Evils Complete Set!!

    Man, that Storm Titan looks awesome. I have no use for monster minis and I still want one. The second bout of PHH looks so far to not have a single thing I'd even remotely want. The Genasi is pretty headscratchy though. I'm still clinging to my dream of them someday doing a male Eladrin that...

    So that's why you like it

    Traditionally in D&D, there's no 'God of humans'. Nobody specific is given who created them, they're just there. They do whatever. Nobody specifically shaped the race, nobody specifically changes it. Demihumans usually are created/found races, with specific racial gods. Elves for example had...

    Forked Thread: from MM2: More fluff?--> The plane next door.

    I never found anything particularly forced about the Great Wheel. And aren't Bright Shiny Reflection and Dark Grimy Reflection, both of which have their own sodding Underdark more of the same horrific forced symmetry, even more so since there wasn't all that much symmetrical about say, Arborea...

    MM2 art gallery- AWESOME!

    I like the Eladrin picture best. Not one but *two* women in sensible friggin' armor? w00t.

    Favourite non-standard polyhedral

    Non-standard, prolly d30. Wonky sizes I own: d3 d5 d7 d14 d16 d18(Not even remotely fair) d24 d26(Even more not remotely fair) d30 d32(Glass ball with indents, kind of like a glass golfball with fewer dips) d50(Dipyramid, nearly unrollable due to size and weight) I want to see d48s, d60s and...

    Ki versus Psionic: Power Sources Do Battle (in a semantic sort of way)

    Psionics, Mentalism, ESP, whatever, I don't care. Anything but Ki. I'm sick to death of asian everything, to the point where in my current 3.5 game I banned asian-themed classes, including the monk. Also, as a fan of sci-fi who's been reading it since I was seven(I'm 25 now), mostly older...

    Tiefling, Dragonborn : have they gained traction ?

    A large part of why I don't like Dragonborn and wouldn't include them is my personal heresy: I don't like dragons. As myths, sure, they work great. And that's the only way they'd appear in a campaign I'd be running, as myths. Giant uber-intelligent flying lizards that breathe...

    Tiefling, Dragonborn : have they gained traction ?

    Don't like the appearance or default background of either. Of course, if I run 4e I'm going to be near completely disregarding the default background of *everything*, and changing the appearance of a few races entirely, and throwing some out in the process that don't fit at all with what I want...

    Forked Thread: How do you feel about online gaming?

    I don't much like it. I haven't even tried MapTool because everyone in the group I'm in long ago decided it 'sucks' and pirated Fantasy Grounds, and later FGII. I can't say I like either much. FGII even less so since when I'm DMing it eats so much resources I can't have browser windows or...

    What "classic" races are left? -- Forked Thread: PH3 Playtest Race: Wilden

    Aasimar. No, Devas do not count. After some massive re-fluffing, perhaps, but as-is? No, they don't fill the role of 'Otherwise normal person descended from a good-aligned outsider/someone whose ancestors made a bargain with the forces of good'. I really hope for no more bizzare races in...

    PH3 Playtest Race: Wilden

    I now have this mental image of a race referring to themselves as the N'Tel'Quessir because the first people they ran into were FR Eladrin/Elves. I imagine the elves would not be amused. ...I might have to use that someday now.

    PH3 Playtest Race: Wilden

    I put french dressing on them and make a salad. Nevermind tree-hugging elves, these guys *are* the trees. Seriously though, it's interesting enough, though I'd drop the 'we' thing since in practice it would merely be annoying. Dunno that I'd actually play one though. If I want to be weird and...

    Creature Competition: Iron Golem vs. Rust Monster

    Gooooooo Rusty! Rusty! Rusty! Rusty! The Rust Monster is cute and cuddly, with big fluffy antennae and this adorable look on its face. Clearly the Rust Monster is awesome beyond words.

    Forked Thread: The Drizzt Clone

    Haven't seen it, though it did make me end up not using either drow PC I've come up with. Although neither of them is the slightest bit Drizzt-y. Both were Clerics, one a CG priest of Corellon Larethian who was well-liked, well-respected and had not one whit of angst; the other a CN with E...

    Arcane Power Art Gallery: Welcome back, old friends

    As a testament to how truly bad that picture is, I knew it was going to be that picture the instant I saw what book it was from. I still want to figure out who drew it so I can whack them with the cover of 2E FR's Demihuman Deities. Or the original picture of him from 1E D&Dg. Or the one from...

    Speculation -- next Friday's PH3 Playtest?

    Well, when you're male, female, both and neither all at the same time and have Hanali Celanil, the elven goddess of love and beauty, as the village wheel and don't mind getting it on with your other 'brothers' and 'sisters'...

    Speculation -- next Friday's PH3 Playtest?

    Thousands of them! Dozens of varieties! An elf for everything! High elves! Aquatic elves! Mud elves! Rock elves! Snow elves! Fire elves! Purple elves! Small slightly oily puddle elves! Keebler elves! Stamp elves! Townshend elves! Sugar elves! Tea elves! (Obligatory semi-obscure reference, whee)...

    DDM: Chicks not in chainmail

    The first sets make do with what they had for the cancelled Feywild set and some reused sculpts, as I recall. There also aren't any male Eladrin at all. Every single Eladrin in the first sets is female. Male Eladrin have been relegated to the role of not existing. Just an example. There are a...

    Arcane Power Art Gallery: Welcome back, old friends

    Yeah, Gimble was a total 'wait what' moment, heh. Though I actually kind of like that picture. I preferred Devis for 3.x Bards, but Gimble looks more 4e-ish than Devis does. I like most of the art, including the reused pieces, and it's nice to see some people who aren't white, reused or not...
