I find this very exciting. I like the distribution of the various chapters. 14-15 pages of history. 14-15 pages on race and class options. Approximately 150 pages of adventures (divided into 6 chapters), a few pages on equipment and items, 20 pages of friends, foes, and sidekicks, plus...

Just to throw a monkey-wrench into this whole discussion: I like Kender. If I could vote for a Kender politician, I would. I am grateful that they are back. I realize that a lot of people find them annoying, but I can't help but cheer for the little folk who possess more bravery than brawn...

Howdy gang! As Zaukrie pointed out, there are literally hundreds of options out there... If you want a "real" table top experience, no one is stopping you from engaging an an old-school game of D&D. Go ahead and purchase a 5e or an OSR game right now (just in case you are worried that the...

Personally, I am very excited about this whole process. As one of the many people who disliked 4e, I was very glad that WOTC initiated a play-test for 5e. In my opinion, 5e is far-and-away the best version of D&D. A lot of that is due to the feedback that we provided. I just hope they...

Good catch! I always wondered why subclasses progressed at different levels...

Thanks for the clips. I've been to New Zealand, and I regard it as one of the best places on earth.

Excellent point. There is a lava tube named "Subway Cave" in northern California. The floor is treacherous, to say the least... It is definitely "difficult terrain"!

Greetings. I come from a different world, so I wanted to offer my perspective on this issue: I think it is a little bit sad that the majority of the replies in this thread consider hiking in the wilderness to be dangerous, threatening, and/or exhausting. It may be difficult, but it is not...

Very clever... I am impressed with your lyrical adaptation!

Retreater: I've GM'd the first adventure so far (Burnt Offerings) of Rise of the Runelords with a group of veteran Pathfinder/D&D/Savage Worlds players. They all seemed to agree that the Savage Worlds edition helped make game play very smooth, keeping with the "Fast, Furious, Fun" motif that...

I agree entirely.

This is a great process that includes excellent detail. I like that the solutions are "pyramid tests" that outline critical failures all the way up to critical successes.

I can think of 6 game systems that can handle Highlander. Savage Worlds (PEG Inc.), Simply6 (EnWorld), Amazing Adventures (Troll Lords), Mutants and Masterminds (Green Ronin), d20 Modern (WOTC), and ICONS (Ad Infinitum). Each system just needs a change of the flavor text.

Good Call!

Well, I called it (kinda)! This is probably my first accurate prediction regarding WOTC's output. A Dragonlance box set on large-scale combat? Cross-compatible with traditional D&D? Super cool!

I am excited for a mass combat board game that crosses-over with D&D. It's been done in the past, with some mixed results. I have a feeling that it will be a pretty good system, although it sounds like the systems will be more abstracted and (perhaps) less strategic. Some hard-core war gamers...

You make some excellent points. I agree with you entirely.

So... I'm a nerd. I've played FASERIP, Champions, V&V, M&M, Icons, and other superhero role playing games over the past 40 years. I am very disappointed that the superhero genre has (once again) failed to advance. This game system is less useful than material from the 1980's. In my...

Darn. I hoped this was going to be a strong game with a useable system of skills and powers. After reading it for the second time, I have more doubts than hopes. ICONS managed to capture more in fewer pages. M&M, Champions, and FASERIP make more logical sense. The crunch justifies the...
