This thread is a beautiful piece of art.

With the three cores initially spread out over three months, KotS looked like a much better deal in terms of a preview. I'm still buying it. Why? This is going to be the first look at what a 4E adventure is supposed to look like. I admit I haven't looked at any of the fan created modules, but...

I wish them the best in this. I'll check out the rules, but I'm pretty sure I'm looking for a new edition, not just another revision of the 3E rules. The announcement does make me reconsider Jason Bulmahn's thoughts on playing 4E.

I don't want to think about the number of times I or one of my players missed a diagonal, or lost track of whether the next step was 5ft or 10ft (a common occurence in a double move with horizontal and diagonal movement mixed). I've only played a little SW Saga, but the 2 square movement on...

It looks good. Thank you.

Of the D&DXP characters, the ranger and the paladin are Good. The other four are all Unaligned. I don't think alignment is going to have a major impact on the game.

Cheaper than plane tickets, though. I don't plan on using the virtual tabletop to play with my regular gaming group. But, I've been talking with some online friends about doing a game. With one in Texas, another in Chicago, and a third in New Jersey, $120 each is pretty cheap to connect us.

Very cool neat. How about: What are their favorite aspects of the new edition? and What power sources can we look forward to in PHB2?

Chaturanga (6th century AD) is the only true chess. All other versions are just poor imitations of the real thing.

Nope. I use firefox and the Gleemax forums haven't given me any problems (other than being a bit slow tonight).

I'd at least page through The Complete Rouse and Tome of Mearls...

Slaads are mentioned in Worlds & Monsters in the Elemental Chaos (natch). My personal feeling is, any of Charles Stross' creatures gets a free pass. The rest of the FF... well, we'll talk.

Hadn't noticed the silhouettes when I looked earlier. Hrm. The top left one puts me in the mind of the Angel of Vengeance mini, so another angel perhaps? Third down on the left side looks like an ettin, and second one in from the left on the bottom row kinda looks like a mind flayer.

I think a class writeup is coming, but I don't think it'll be one of the brand new classes (afterall, we got the elf instead of dragonborn).

Roll a D20. On a 1-10, make a mark. 11-19, do nothing. 20, set HP to 1/4 max. Do this each round on your turn until someone uses the heal skill on you, casts a healing spell on you, or you roll a 20. If you ever accumulate three marks, you're dead. That's complicated?

Provided my game isn't cancelled this Sunday, I will be using them. And, knowing there is a foe coming up who uses a large scythe, this might improve the survival chance for the PCs.

My personal experience has been pretty good. Had one issue of Dungeon or Dragon not arrive, but they quickly sent a replacement. It is a little annoying that there isn't anywhere to cancel subscriptions on the subscription page. Looking on their CS board, it looks like there are still several...
