According to Worlds & Monsters the Astral Sea is a "shallow ocean of silvery liquid with the stars visible beneath the surface", so yes, i believe you can sail there. :) Also, W&M calls the Githyanki "the pirates of the astral sea".

Sadly not much new stuff in this podcast, although the infos about the Red Wizards sounds nice.

I bought two packs a few days ago. Most of the minis were ok, much like the previous sets. Some looked really nice (Bullette, Cleric of Pelor, Gargoyle, Warforged Infiltrator, Shade Knight) some were sub optimal (Griffon) and two were abyssmal (Orc Raider, Troglodyte). The Trog looked...

It's nice that you acknowledge that your opinion is, of course, absolutely subjective and not based on reasoning :)

Your constant repeating of wrong assumptions is really tiresome. How many times more do you need to here that NPC will be comparable in power without the unnecessary complexity?

Judging from the gallery, this set is a really mixed bag. Some minis look quite good like the oni and the transparent ones, others look extremly sloppy. Hope the actual minis are decent.

You can also swap races and classes. If they give you a dwarven fighter and a halfling rogue you can build halfling fighters, dwarven rogues etc..

So Fighters are called Warriors now? I like it, a much more evocative name than Fighter. Hope it's not just for the advertising.

As someone pointed out earlier this change sounds a lot more Narrativist than Simulationist... and i love it!!! :D The story as a whole is much more important to me an my players than the accurate simulation of a fantasy world where the strictly defined rules work the same way for everybody, so...

I'm a bit disappointed by this move. I really liked Paizos work on Dragon and Dungeon, but I'm too excited for 4E and my problems with 3E can not be fixed with a new paint job. Let's hope they decide to support 4E next year, although i guess it will be hard for them to explain their fanbase why...

If i remember correctly weakened halfes the damage you make.

QFT And could someone please elaborate how previous versions of D&D supported "Deep-Immersion Storytelling" mechanically?

Oh I don't know...perhaps because placeholder art is not uncommon in the world of publishing? WotC has released quite a few book previews with temporary placeholder covers. Just look at the new FRCS...

Ah, yes. Makes sense. Thanks :)

I thought Bursts were the aura like effect centering on you. If not, what's the difference between Blasts and Bursts? The dragons breath attack is a Blast and it's frightful presence is a Burst effect.

oh man, that's really awfull. :(

Instant grittiness rule: Instead of regaining all your healing surges after a 6 hour rest, you only regain 1. Nightmare mode: You regain 1 per week.

I understand that threadcrapping should be avoided but what exactly are we supposed to discuss here? Ok, you wanted to share your feelings with us. How about starting a blog? I really fail to see the need for threads like this as it only stimulates the negative crowd.

The more i read about the new Realms the more i love it! I think the all the new opportunities for adventure sound great and i'm pretty sure me and my players will have a blast discovering the newly unearthed secrets of their familiar world with their long time characters (granted, a bit of time...

Have a look at the history of D&D corerules covers. I know i left some out ;)
