Nothing I saw in the trailer suggested they were trying to be 'realistic'. Just as long as it's not boring like that Clive Owen dog was.

The ENnies booth seems a popular starting point for groups to work from ...

Print edition now available. You can pick up a copy at Gencon if you're there, or order it through an online retailer or from your LGS.

Company of the Random Encounter, because players are smart-alecs. The Copperheads, because a campaign kicked off with Of Sound Mind Company of the Minotaur, because all the characters owned shares of an inn with a Minotaur-themed named. LCU CRU ("LCU Crew"), the Liberty City University Crime...

Fiery Dragon also have the Iron Heroes Players' Companion coming to LGS shelves this month.

Maybe Master of the Game's blog scared 'em all :)

I'm yet to see problems with the Warblade in actual play over levels 3-5. The combat maneuvers are cool, but the other PCs have been keeping up just fine.

I'd suggest just using the term "inert" instead of "waste". I think the recent discussion about writing "Mandy the well-cared-for-bear" as a resource encounter rather than an "inert" encounter is a useful one for clarifying where you're going with this. It seems like the key concept is "don't...

I don't think there was any "sort of" about it - it's been dire. :)

rycanada: I wonder if you might find less resistance if you simply change your nomenclature. "waste" is a strong term that's getting people's backs up, I think. For instance, I can see some players thoroughly enjoying the "Mandy is a well-cared-for-bear" encounter you outline above, even...
