Definately! I wonder how well a book that was nothing but fluff would do? Something that collected alot of really cool artwork and no game stats, but was all D&D? Some kind of encyclopedia of monsters? That would be neat, but probably fall to the realm of "niche" product.

I don't have the books in front of me since I'm at work right now, but is that true of every entry in the MM and MM2, or just some of the entries? I know some of the critters have those Knowledge DC charts with info, but not all of them do. I haven't cracked the 4E MM in a while now, so my...

And a much, much smaller stat block.

Merry Christmas all! And Happy Holiday (whichever you may celebrate)! Hope everyone stays safe!

I'd be happy with a D&D game that didn't try to mimic any ruleset, I'd just be happy with the races, monsters, and settings. That way, everyone is happy, and folks that don't normally play D&D might become interested just for the fluff.

As far as Darkvision not being biological, but being a magical gift or trait... Wouldn't it then be dispellable with Dispel Magic?

I like a fairly even mix of both. Myth and magic, but with some biological consistency that does make some reasonable sense. With the "scientific" baseline, magic becomes all the more magical instead of so common its not magic anymore. Plus, one of the elements of my campaign is all the...

I'm still fond of the old Pool of Radiance games.

I guess it does all boil down to individual player expectations and perceptions of how a game does/should work! But as has been said, it is a moot point. ;)

Not sure on this, but is Darkvision a magical ability by RAW? Or do they still distinguish between EX, SP, and SU in 4e? But isn't Darkvision essentially infravision? Which real world animals have.

I think the issue some might be having has to do with biology and not "skill". For instance, the idea that multiple monsters of a given type may all be different in their combat abilities/tactics/powers is an excellent idea. It really makes a lot of sense. The problem comes when you start...

Niiiiice. I'd say make multiple prints and frame them. So long as Claudio is cool with that.

Good question. I wonder if that would apply to freelancers though?

Wow, thanks for ascribing motives to what I post. Do I attack your opinions/positions or make thinly-veiled personal attacks on you? Them not laying off workers, or even paying out big bonuses to all their workers WOULD have moved them up a notch in my opinion, and would have been a step...

Well, I can't speak for others, but I'm not "threatening" to stop buying, I have stopped, and never claimed it was because of this round of layoffs. This round of layoffs just continue to affirm the decisions I've made in the past.

Oh, the layoffs are not the entirety of it at all, they're just the icing on the cake. I have many reasons not to buy from WoTC anymore. See, they don't produce the things I like the most. But thanks for trying to totally describe my motives for me. I don't get the attitude of people that...

True. Although we have been told time and time again that Hasbro doesn't exercise that level of involvement in WoTC's management.

I guess the Rouse got out while the gettin' was good. I really couldn't imagine working for WoTC knowing that layoffs were coming every Christmas. As others have said, this just gives some of us even more reason to no longer support WotC.

Mega Minis has a line of townsfolk. They even have a line of Orc commoners. http://www.megaminis.com/

Ugh, sorry, I can't go along with that idea. PC's spending their actions to control their critters in 4E is one of the things I hate most about 4E. I'd hate to see that concept ported to 3E/Pathfinder.
