I'd advance the timeline 10 years on from the end of the Living Greyhawk campaign, incorporating elements of the LG campaign, but allowing for a period in which the writers (including Erik Mona and Sean Reynolds if they could be recruited for this) could make some changes or reveal certain 'new...

Because they can't manipulate as well or hide their true desires as well as the more charismatic ones in their society. When it comes to backstabbing, the game is called Diplomacy. It's not about who is smart and who isn't - it's about who can manipulate and tell a convincing lie.

That's not a given unless the market can't be grown - if Wizards can grow the D&D market with 4E (bringing in more new gamers than those who stay with 3E), then your statement wouldn't prove true.

We play 3.5 even while several of us in our group have problems with it, because they're problems we can put up with and still have fun. We're currently playing a 3.5 campaign using an adventure path that we expect to be playing through the end of 2008. In group discussion, nobody is excited...

If you have the Scribe Scroll feat, you can prepare scrolls for future use. The description for the feat nicely informs us: However, I don't think I've ever seen anything in the rules or the FAQ that addresses whether you can prepare multiple scrolls in one day or not per the RAW. Anyone...

There's a number on the bottom of each booster (20310760000001 for the last set for example) which ends in a 1, 2 or 3. I've found there's typically 4 boosters for each number. The only time I've not got the expected frequency is one case where there was a 5/4/3 split. I tend to order through...

It doesn't need to be Orcs - but if they are trying to make D&D more strongly distinctive (as the move to Eladrin suggests) then another distinctive to D&D race would seem a possibility.

Perhaps... As Eladrin are to Elves, the mystery race will be to an existing D&D race? A noble or fey form of Orc?

I use a variant on solution 2 from http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sg/20051125a :

You may want to avoid with the 'most people ... argue .... is cool' statements - it's subjective to the people you know, and amongst my friends I doubt there's many who think Darth Vader is "cool". Per my reading of the RAW for 3E, Evil characters are only those who show a commitment to evil...

I think the only thing you can do is wait and see what is released and evaluate whether it works for you and your gaming group or not.

Thanks - have downloaded that and it looks like a reprint of the UA rules from a quick read through. It's only one character that I'm worried about - the player tends to forget he has action points to use (despite others using them constantly) while the other players tend to find useful ways...

Hm. Do we know if Haley might happen to have a ... twin sister ?

Was there anything in the Rules Compendium?

In the UA rules for action points (reproduced at http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/adventuring/actionPoints.htm) under Acquiring Action Points it specifies: However, it doesn't mention what happens to unused points from the previous level. In the Eberron Campaign Setting's rules for action...

I can't see any reason that a barbarian druid couldn't wild shape while raging - any rules or FAQ answers I may have overlooked?

Sadly, that's not true. I've certainly encountered those attitudes growing up and living in New Zealand. Parents warned by concerned friends and colleagues etc. When I was at University 10 years ago, urban folklore had it that the city of Tauranga, New Zealand had banned roleplaying in public...

I'll concur with previous posters on Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil's Crater Ridge Mines. The setup to get the players there really didn't work with my group, and we gave up that campaign shortly after arriving at the Mines.

I actually wonder if that explains most of the hatred - people who didn't want to bother understanding how it worked, encountering it in game. What slows down combat or other situations where there's a conflict to be resolved in my experience is people encountering a rule that they haven't...

No earlier than late 2009, when the current 3.5 campaign will come to a planned end. Even then, my group is largely happy to stay with 3.5 and so it may slip to 2010, or never.
