What about a Villain that's not quite a villain? Let the PCs kill someone (directly or indirectly) that didn't really deserve it, have some other guy think of them as evil, and let him try to foil their "evildoings" all the time. This could work as an additional adversary you add to your normal...

That's old. Finding out that their enemies were eating manflesh (or humanoid flesh in general) isn't that shocking any longer. We have humans in the real world do that. You have to describe how some enemies have soft skin. Say they got it by using baby oil. Let that last part sink in. Or let...

Wasn't that the fabled Ecchi dynasty? ;)

Absolutely. Especially BG, having always had a strong fantasy theme (after all, they did a whole album on tolkien's Silmarillion. Nightfall in Middle Earth's still one of my all-time favourite albums. They even made a song about Raistlin).

Okay, let's no longer talk about 4e... or rap. Good old 3rd edition heavy metal!

Yeah, it's cool. Some of their music sounds good, too. You only have to not know what they're singing (I used to listen to them a bit when I was over at a friend's place and liked them. Then I learned enough English to hear what they're singing about...)

If you want sick, real sick, have mind flayer porn. Those guys don't understand humanoid sexuality (their idea of a good time is to get one of your tadpoles eat the face and brain off a human.) but they do know about really dominating slaves. I think the images of humanoids being dominated in...

I haven't done anything like that. So far! This is going to change. It really fits Rise of the Runelords. The only monster porn we had was a bunch of pictures that guy painted of his girlfriend, with one being her as a succubus demon (she's undergoing fiendish changes and he's hoping for...

What about a Godslayer? Good villains are driven, good villains have some big motivation - and because they're villains, Goodwill Towards Mankind doesn't work. So look for Revenge. A big Vendetta against the guys who killed his father and thair employer. His father, a petty criminal - not...

That's exactly what I think of 4e. 4e is Manowar: Some of the mechanics (rules mechanics/ instromental part of the music) might be okay, but the fluff (flavour material/ lyrics) I just can't take seriously. You can play M4now4r, I'll stick to my old M3tallica albums and stuff like that. :p

Words of wisdom. There are 4 other stats beyond the c-stats. It's not that cha always has to be the dump stat. It's that con is almost always a bad choice for a dump stat. Use strength and go for light weapons or ranged weapons. With the right choices of favoured enemies, you could have a...

When critters crash the big town party, chase them off. People hate having their parties crashed. They expect large amounts of food and entertainment, not large amounts of blood and gore - at least not if it's their own. If you can't happen upon a town party about to be crashed, pay some...

Don't know about anyone but me - and I'm not even saying "no way" (I'm saying that I'll use whatever Pathfinder will use) - but I will buy only a the necessary 4e stuff (if I will get 4e), i.e. only the stuff that will make its way into the SRD thus being usable by third-party companies. I did...

I'd say "to varying degrees". I doubt that anyone will switch wholesale (they're not using exactly 3.5 now). Some might use most new mechanics, some might use only some, some might completely ignore it. And you don't have to look so far: Even some d20 Campaign Settings will have a hard time...

They don't have to outsell 4e. They'd just have to reach all the people Wizards managed to piss off. I think it quite possible that they could pull it off.

That wouldn't be AE, then. AE was an alternative to D&D 3e's rules. So any AE updates should be an alternative to D&D 4e's rules. And I guess he would not buy 4e wholesale, but rather take only the stuff he likes, and keep stuff from 3e he likes (and throw in his own ideas, of course). In...

I'd buy it. Make it a joint venture with Paizo and let it be the official ruleset for Pathfinder and the next version of Midnight.

I think they're setting up a Pathfinder Chronicles Subscription. That is, all the PC material (the Campaign Setting, the Gazetteers, and so on). You wouldn't get the 30% off like with Pathfinder (they can only do that because they can sell it as the successor of Dragon and Dungeon. If they do...

Spreadsheet's good. The mechanics should not seem like actual magic, with arcane formulas no one normal has been working with for millenia. Unless we get to sacrifice small animals to get our spells back, I'd like rules that are easy and make sens, only being used to describe arcane workings...

Good news: That cover's just a mock-up. So it's only possible that WAR will make the cover for this. I personally think that a setting book should not have an action-packed cover, though. Doesn't seem right. It's great for adventures, but not for a book that tells you about whole world.
