Goblins (and presumably hobgoblins and bugbears as well) as PC races? Awesome! :D That means the playable races for Eberron and Birthright are finally complete. Also: Kobolds, yay! The only thing I still want for 4e is the Epic Tier DMG3, which has a snowball's chance in hell of being...

Hmph. I had hoped for a reprint of the Grey Box. I think I'll pass that one. Unfortunately, it won't be. https://twitter.com/#!/brianrjames/status/163336964341366784

Seconded!

It makes me want to listen to its awesome song in its entirety. And sing along, of course! :cool: Thinking of dwarves, I haven't played one since the mid-90s. Humans, half-elves and elves are my favorites, in that order. So I'll go with a "no".

Thanks! I'd give you XP if I could. So, how's your progress on the Forgotten Realms Collector's Guide? :angel: ;)

They're still publishing excerpts of the book, so yes.

I think it'll be a reprint of the Grey Box. Ties in nicely with the AD&D reprints, too. :)

No exact dates. Sometime in 2012, that's all. FR was released in 1987; does anyone know the exact release date? My guess is that the Anniversary Edition would be released the same month as the Grey Box.

Do you mean "Melee 1" vs. "you charge an enemy"? I scratched my head when I saw that one. Maybe they wanted to prevent polearm charges? (Seriously, I have no idea why it's written that way.)

My FOGS (favorite online game store) has an interesting entry in their catalog for this year, though it's probably not for 4e and it's not on Amazon or WotC's product catalog: Forgotten Realms 25th Ann. Edition They also have Dungeon Tiles: Ruins of War listed. Amazon has a new entry: Castle...

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it. I do remember an article with ritual casting-related feats, maybe that's the one.

I've got a large (and still growing) list. Wall of text ahead; you've been warned. ;) My biggest hacks are: - Separation of feats into talents (for non-combat use) and feats (for combat use), and dropping all their ability score requirements. Starting at level 5, each character gains one...

List updated.

You mean except for Mike Mearls, who was running a 4e Greyhawk campaign as early as 2009? I'm sure there are other examples. :)

Inconceivable! :lol: Ivid (the Undying).

Outside of splatbooks, Dragon Magazine is your best bet for filling in the gaps, unless you want to create your own homebrew versions of e.g. the Sentinel's missing seasons. I once did a few homebrew weapon specializations for the Slayer, and it wasn't that difficult.

Regarding constructs, there might be some precedents, at least in the MERP sourcebooks published by ICE. The Drúedain/Woses have the Pûkel-men, which are stone statues that guard their holy sites, and it is said that they can come to life and attack intruders. IIRC they were also said to be...

First, I'd take a look at the themes that Tolkien used extensively in his works. For me, these themes include: - free will vs. tyranny, domination, and slavery - hope vs. despair - the passing away of ancient knowledge (represented by the withdrawal of the elves) - the presence of an immortal...

There was also a recommendation to double the static damage modifier, e.g. increase damage from 1d8+4 to 1d8+8, IIRC.
