    Ritual Magic systems?

    The Blue Rose Companion apparently has some. I've never had the fortune to look at it, but it's right there in the description.

    Poll: 1E or 2E?

    If Elf is not a class, it is not DnD!

    How do you feel about miniatures?

    Minis are great for combat. They definitely help with the tactics and answer a lot of questions before they are asked. However, the GM needs to be skillful in deciding when to use them. If you know there is going to be a fight in a tavern, do you map it and place minis when the characters...

    [True/False] There is a point in every campaign when the PCs come to blows.

    A big TRUE here. Recently a one-shot game even involved a little PC-on-PC violence. I have never seen PCs kill each other or even use their weapons on each other. As a player you see how powerful the characters are and know that the fighter or wizard could easily kill your character if...

    Help me kill my DM!

    I agree with this. Use your experience with narration and world-building to engage the DM's world deeply. Ask questions that might slip past the other players and engage yourself fully in the role of PLAYER. I think that the hardest part about switching sides of the screen would be the...

    d20, Circa 2nd Century A.D.

    How cool is that? Next time you look at your d20, remember "I am the recipient of an ancient tradition" and kill those freakin' goblins!

    Hit it - Hit it hard.

    My avatar is not appearing. There is just a link that says Ruslancik's Avatar. I went to try and change my avatar, but none of the pictures appear. I selected a new one and there is still the Ruslanchik's avatar link. Is this a feature or a bug? Everyone else's avatars appear just fine...

    So My DMG is Falling Apart Three Days After I Got it...

    This just goes to show how much more convenient it is to buy books from an actual bookstore. This is in addition to the obvious stimulus to your local economy. (Even if you buy the book from Borders or Barnes an Noble, people in your city are getting a salary from that store. If you order...

    Worst & most common DM mistakes

    I second this. My example is much more egregious than yours, but I won't bore everyone with it. Let's just say that playing favorites can kill a gaming group.

    Critiques of 4e: about style not substance?

    I don't own the 4E books, but I have looked through pretty much all of the PHB. Because of this, I have an "impression" of it and that's about it. Based on this impression, I have to say that I dislike both the style and the substance of it. As far as the books go, some of the art is really...

    The WotC D&D Website Movie Intro.

    I assume you mean this: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/welcome It's pretty metal. But as with all things involving WotC and the internet, it could have been SO much better. Edit: To avoiding sounding like too much of a hypercritical jerk, I would like to say that I really liked the...

    So, who's looking forward to 4E Forgotten Realms?

    I'm more excited about Eberron. I think that the 4E rules will work with that setting better. I can't really find a rational reason for it, but I feel like 3.5 fits FR quite well. If I continue to play there, it will most likely be with the 3.5 ruleset.

    4e for couples, OMG your GF rolled a char ?!

    Your wife and mine should get together. Sounds like they would get along.

    Please kill off dual wielding ranger genre for 5th ed, please?

    Did the TWF Ranger really not appear in the books until after Drizz't. I thought Drizz't was an expression of the archetype not the source. Of course, I was kind of late to the DnD game so I'm fuzzy on the timeline. When did the TWF Ranger appear in DnD? Is it not in 1e PHB or UA...

    WoTC in the Frying Pan

    I have to say that my hopes for seeing any program available under DDI anytime soon are very, very low. Of course, I won't be able to use them if and when they are released because of the ridiculous requirement of XP Service Pack 2. Are they not even going to support Vista, not to mention Mac...

    D&D 3E/3.5 4E vs 3E Sales Figures: The Facts

    Since 4e hasn't even been officially released yet, I think it's a little early to be talking about sales. I'm sure that the initial run will sell out, but that's not a guarantee. Just because Amazon and all of the other big sellers have ordered thousands of copies doesn't mean that they will...
