1) There's no "official line." I'm speaking for myself and people I know very well, who view it as exactly that. If you want to accuse me of having an agenda, please feel free to do it somewhere I can respond appropriately without breaking the rules. 2) They're objecting because they were cast...

The problem is not that WW used Chechnya. The problem is not that WW used the horrors going on in Chechnya. If they'd done it right, done it well, it could have been not just acceptable, but powerful. The problem is that they trivialized it. The problem is that they dismissed real people...

flametitan was asking why they might be reacting so differently to two similar books/presentations. I was discussing possible answers.

*nod* "Aesthetics" includes presentation. It could be down to stuff as minor as the writing style--or even how you were feeling that afternoon. I mean, I'm not saying you shouldn't analyze your responses, and there could well be more significant reasons. Just that it could be influenced by...

At a guess? It's because 1) You're not comparing like to like. No matter how hard you might try to separate them, your feelings on Planescape are influenced by all the Planescape material with which you're familiar, and also by the community involvement and discussion, and also by any past...

I have never seen a group of PCs willing to wait for ship maneuvers to finish before taking individual action. They're constantly casting spells, making ranged attacks, in some cases swimming for the other ship. There's simply no solid line of demarcation in my experience.

That would render it impossible to easily mix ship-combat with personal combat. I wouldn't be in favor.

Elfcrusher has answered more or less as I would have.

Uh, no. In fact, assuming we're talking about the M:tG Planeswalkers, it can't. A Planeswalker is defined as someone with the ability to, well, walk between planes. That, and they tend to be powerful. That's it. That's the commonality. As pointed out upthread, each extant Planeswalker has their...

First edition encouraged--in some places even assumed--a competition among PCs for the most treasure, the best magic, etc. It actually had suggested rules for how PCs got to claim magic items. I never played that way, never played with anyone who played that way, and to this day think the whole...

Consider this stolen. :D

By more or less four years into their lifespan... 2E and 4E had dozens if not scores of pages of rules-changing errata, whether delivered electronically or in Dragon Magazine. 3E not only had swathes of similar errata, it had a new semi-edition. 1E, in addition to Dragon-based errata...

I got 99 problems...

This seems as good a place as any to mention that I might have something coming out soon on DMs Guild that might have something to do with the shadowcaster I originally created--but was never fully happy with--back in 3E's Tome of Magic. Maybe. *cough*

I also found that the flanking rules make advantage too easy to obtain. It's--IME, of course--an excessive benefit. It also--again IME--reduces creativity and interesting maneuvers in combat. People don't try funky ideas or the like if advantage is that easy to gain. Even beyond that, as...

Well, most of them were not. The difference between "less" vs. "fewer," the Oxford comma, and the fact that it's not just wrong but actively immoral to use "of" after should, could, or would, however? Those absolutely were handed down by the divine, and people who violate those rules should...

Is there a general ballpark in terms of 1) pay, and 2) expected work rate (i.e. how many words of conversion are expected per day or per week)?

Catastrophic and scourge/linnorm dragons. Anthraxus and other arch-yugoloths. Uh... And a bunch of others I'm not remembering off the top of my head. :p

Working for me, so I've got you covered. :)

Don't have the book in front of me, but I don't remember it costing Ki...
