A wose by any other name would smell as sweet, you know.

(ack, wrong thread)

I wouldn't get your hopes too high. There were polls to change the name "warlord" to something else, too.

Nicknames for Warren: Woz? Wozza? Wose...? ;)

If they did, they'd probably need snorkels. You know, what with marshes being wet and all. But I like your idea. I'm now thinking they should go with either warrenfolk, warrenborn, warrenforged, or just plain old call them all Warren (that way the "we" references would make more sense). It...

Not as easy to trademark as a made up word, maybe?

Touche. :)

Sounds like something that fights even the toughest stains.

No. The focus has gone from broad to narrow. Why should a significant section of the former audience be excluded for the gratification of another section of it? At least release such a product under another name, and keep the broader one going (yes, I know, impractical, so don't go down the...

Well, either "what makes people play your game" got misidentified and/or oversimplified, or Robyn Laws' theories on narrow focus deserve to stay academic, IMO.

Oh, and if sticking with D&D gameplay themes, definitely ditch 4E for Dungeon Squad!, "a role-playing game designed expressly for young players with short attention spans who demand action and fun. There is a lot of die rolling and some amusing shopping and number-crunching. Characters can be...

Perhaps consider "The Lost Seneschal", an adventure from the BECMI supplement Tall Tales of the Wee Folk. The plot rolls out like a fairytale, and it takes place mostly in fairyland. Fairytale adventures are a rarity for D&D, and this is a good one, with memorable characters and a Disney-esque...

I recall a TSR designer saying that the 2E DMG was made with this plan of intentional incompleteness so you'd keep buying in mind (saving material that should have been in the DMG for the splatbooks). I think people notice when they see important chunks of the game they're used to conspicuously...

Proper nouns and the beginning of sentences, I think. People on messageboards regularly misuse capitalisation for Emphasis when perhaps they should be using bold, italics,"quotes" or exclamation points!!! In the above example, the poster should probably have written great axe or "great axe"...

Ha. Nothing new under the sun. I take it he was influenced by Wilderlands then. (And that is one nice map you have there.) Sure, although the temptation to spend more time on painting in undetailed continents than on actually populating hexes would probably prevail for most of us, and it...

AD&D to BECMI conversion: "Do these boots, swash-topped make me look fat?" I googled "swash-topped boots" images to find out what they looked like. The only meaningful result was a picture of Wonder Woman. :confused:

Rules question: How much does a "Canard, embiggened" cost? And can my thief use it in a backstab? It sounds like either a duck, or a polearm. Maybe both.

Here's an idea for bottom-up sandbox worldbuilding. Using Arr-Kelaan Hexmapper, create a map which is nothing but sea hexes. Add a single hex of another type to begin an island (e.g. a town, plains, hills, forest etc.), number it, and detail it in some way - anything from a simple...

I think the problem here is that we don't share the same alignment tongue. I'm fluent in Lawful Stupid, whereas he's clearly using Chaotic Annoying. I'll try Draconic Pidgin Thieve's Cant next, because clearly neither of us know Common.

Can’t be bothered arguing over this, but I know intuitively that in this case your rule is wrong. Mage isn’t modern english, whereas warm is, and "age" an acceptable addition to it for a contrived word. Warmage is no Knightsbridge. If it were a town, people would be saying it my way.
