I posted about this in a thread on Arstechnica earlier today. Imagine the 5E PHB built using iBooks Author. They include all the text and goodies and the character sheet in the back is interactive. You can go ahead and make your character and when you're done, export and upload it to the new...

It's really funny to see you say that, b/c the general consensus for 3E seemed to be that a L1 PC was about equal to a L3 or 4 PC from 2nd Ed. The base was raised again in 4E. Looking back at 3E now, 1st level feels kind of weak, but when it first came out it was much stronger than our...

I just finished page 1, so some of this may already be pointed out. You do remember that Sleep was a Daily spell right? That's the opportunity cost right there. Plus, you could miss. Sleep is an extremely nice spell in 4th Ed, but you also skip a lot of other very nice spells to use it. I...

Not to mention all the existing torrents and places like Ebay and Half Price Books. If people want the books, they will find them in some fashion.

Alignment is supposed to just be a guideline, especially now that 4E has removed nearly all mechanical attachments to alignment, but I can't think of a simple game topic that causes more arguments within a party than alignment. I'm happy to see it minimized in the current edition and really...

There are some things you and I disagree on danny, but a love of AE is not one of them :) Did you ever see Dr Spunj's Classless D&D? Search here on ENWorld for it or I can give you the link sometime, just have ot dig on an external drive. It was a point based version of D&D or AE, however, it...

The question is what they will code things in. Right now, you can't use the DDI tools on an iPad and support for that would be great, especially if there was an active play mode for the character sheet so you could track everything on the screen for yourself. People already track their hit...

I won't even bother trying to quote all the various times they club you over the head in Chronicles and Legends how Raistlin has to study daily, how he loses a spell once he casts it and until the end of Legends, he can't cast more than 1 or 2 spells over the course of an entire day w/o wearing...

Our Gifted & Talented teacher in 6th grade got me to read the Hobbit and then ask my mom for the Lord of the Rings. She then said if I liked those books, she hosted a D&D group on Friday's. I'd never heard of D&D, but I went and played a Wizard and I was hooked. I'm definitely on the side of...

I'll pipe up in defense of WAR. I went to GenCon this year and I was looking around the artist area in the main room and I found Wayne in there. Extremely nice and he had a lot of art I really like. Sadly, I didn't have the cash for the Lord of Blades Eberron cover (it was an original), but I...

Then again, I have a number of friends who refer to any kind of pop as Coke, even Pepsi. (Let's not start on the pop vs Soda vs Coke etc heh) Doing so just makes them sound weird to my ears, not correct :) I generally tell non-gamers that I play roleplaying games and then specify "you know...

Add another vote for Halfling. I love my Daggermaster :)

Honest questions here. Why does D&D need to be more realistic? How is the verisimilitude out of whack? You're in a world of magic and monsters, the verisimilitude seems fine to me. I'll give you the bookkeeping, b/c condition tracking is annoying as heck. The game is already less complex...

Considering my opinion of Pathfinder is very low b/c it was clear to me in the alpha test that the game was going exactly how I didn't want, I think D&D can certainly be (and already has been) improved over PF. 4E is already there really. I just wish condition tracking wasn't so ridiculous and...

Sony Online ran Star Wars Galaxies for 8 years and closed the doors 5 days before Star Wars:The Old Republic opened, run by Bioware/EA. EQ and EQ2 run concurrently. No reason they can't end up w/multiples

Yeah, skipping Thunderwave in favor of Beguiling Strands means one less worry about Wisdom too

More specifically, in the book :)

Any character I make needs a 20 and every accuracy feat I can come up with. I have terrible luck w/my dice. My L13 Halfling Daggermaster Rogue can frequently hit enemies on 4 and higher, occasionally on charges into CA so long as I don't roll a 1 I'm fine. I still miss an appalling amount of...

I love 4E. now if only my DM wasn't in grad school and our game on hold for another 5 months :( It's already been 2 months and I'm jonesing heh.

Actually you could end w/the fake name Lucas used for Jedi Revenge of the Jedi, so Star Wars comes back at D&D in retribution for its license not being renewed :)
