    A player with a problem: Death and level loss

    There's two ideas that leap to mind: 1) Temporary negative level. Sticks with the character until they next gain a level. Not removable by magic or any other means. We're using this currently and it's worked well, although I'm not sure what to do with the character who died just before the...

    GSL news.

    Maybe I'm misreading everything, but it sounded to me like Wizards announcement was that there will be a GSL, not that it's out yet - http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=4170348 for example says:

    D&D 4E 4e Monster Manual excerpt

    I have to wonder with: is that 12 individual legion devil legionnaires, or devil legionnaires from the 12th legion?

    Grappling with Grappling

    The rules could perhaps be written more clearly. This is what we've found as well. If the PCs' adversaries are built to grapple, then only the PCs who are built to grapple have a chance - and much the same vice versa. Give the party grappler flight for example, and any BBEG opponent I might...

    WotC announces D&D 4.5!

    Yes, but would the RickRoll be a Daily Bard Ability? Per-Encounter Bard Ability? :D

    Kobold Battle Cries

    Breeyark! (Or was that goblins?)

    WotC_Dave: Color Power!

    I hope they've tested their 'green' and 'red' blocks with a colour blind male.

    D&D Minis on the Decline?

    As the number I have of the DDM miniatures increases, my temptation to buy more has decreased. I'm fairly sure I've hit my 'saturation point' (to borrow the term from above) - I don't really need any more at this point - I can play D&D as I've wanted to from my childhood - with miniatures and...

    Who still doesn't have a horse in this race?

    I'm still sitting on the fence. I also don't have much time for message boards these days due to work and the general state of messageboards. The "healing" change is ok, if you can get your head around the push that HP aren't physical damage, and ignore the 'healing' nomenclature if it bugs...

    Classes ... Much Less Flexible than Advertised

    I wonder if the problem may not lie in two schools of thought on class roles. In the flexible class role school of thought, while your main class grants you certain abilities it doesn't limit you, and you can build similar characters using different classes through adding feats, skills etc. In...

    State of Gleemax: Patch-Dark-Done?

    Or it could be a big complex IT project that doesn't have the support or backing from upper management beyond the odd speech about it - and a lack of funding and other resources. I'm not sure I was aware that Gleemax was an open alpha - and if I'm supposed to consider subscribing to site that...

    Rename Thievery to Roguery

    Yes, I have thoughts. In 1E, a Thief was a Thief, unless they were a Thief-Acrobat. I don't know what they were in 2E (I skipped that edition more or less). In 3E, a Rogue might be a Thief, and vice versa a Thief might be a Rogue, but a Rogue not need be a Thief and vice versa you could play...

    Ampersand: Sneak Attack

    Maybe it's just me, but... does the information give you any feel for how the rogue handles in social combat (politics, diplomacy etc) instead of martial combat (I hit the orc for 5 damage, I want their pie!) ?

    History repeats itself

    For me and my group, it's not the same, and I imagine that's the case for others as well. While I'll acknowledge that you maybe seen something different with the 2E->3E transition, please bear in mind that others had a different experience. And we're having a different experience now as well...

    Halflings: An Identity Crisis

    Well, they are important to me. However, I wasn't surveyed, and that's my problem and where my concern with the surveys and market research explanation for some of the changes comes from. I don't know how wide their market research went. Was it limited to the US? Was it limited to some...

    LIfe Without Alignment

    WFRP 1E Did. Other systems did too. I don't think that not having it will cause any problems however - problems with players playing in a chaotic, evil, disruptive or anarchic fashion has more to do with the players than the system they make. Oh, and I agree with Derren too, I think...

    D&D 4E 4e Rulebook for DDM is up!

    Looking at the photo of the battlemap, dragon and other miniatures... ...is it just me, or do the human miniatures look to be larger than the previous DDM scale?

    What Metallic Dragons do you want?

    What about Steel? To go with my #1 preference for gem Dragon - Sapphire.

    "Alternate" half orc backstories.

    This is what I did with my homebrew campaign - Orcbloods: As with tieflings, aasimar, elfbloods and other mixed blood races, orcbloods are those born to either human or orc parents, where their ancestry includes the other race. E.g. Great, great, great, grandmother had a half orc child...
