    D&D 4E What sort of 3rd party 4e books do you want?

    I want a set of good kingdom management rules. It will allow players to view economics, faith, morality, diplomacy, military, art, and academics as resources and attributes for their point of light. Then it will give me rules for building and handling kingdom level encounters. A really good...

    D&D 4E Call a kender a kender? What should 4E "halflings" be called?

    If they're not psychotically cheerful and immune to fear then they're not kender. The kleptomania is something that could be attributed to stereotypical Gypsies.

    It's like the 'new' World of Darkness was for me.

    Umbran I agree with you on this. I really miss oMage and the wacky philosophy it embraced. But have you checked out Promethean or Changeling the Lost. They're both stellar.

    One setting per year?

    I'd just like to point out that Promethean and Changeling (especially Changeling) have done very brisk sales. The concept of a limited run game in the context of the World of Darkness sells very well. I would love to see this happen for all of the settings in D&D. Give me a History/Atlas as...

    Dragonborn - will you ban them?

    Special snowflake: For my home brew I will be OVERJOYED to have an LA +0 lizard race. I just need to adjust my home brew flavor or snip the wings and dragon breath options from the dragon born. The name will change, but I change most names anyway.

    As Editions progress, are homebrews...

    3E made it vastly easier save for one 2nd ed tournament module that was low level and designed to really make deity specific priests shine. Otherwise giving me a great toolbox that allows my homebrew to move seamlessly from story to mechanics is a very good thing.

    Full circle: D&D now being based on video games...

    Where are you getting that? From what we've heard mobs will be more common in 4E, and they're putting in more complex social mechanics, and team tactical play is more heavily supported with role oriented design. Additionally they are adding online interactive play for people who can't find a...

    Eladrin, warlords, and unnecessary D&Disms

    Don't leave us hanging! Start a new thread (if you already haven't) with your ideas on this world. What races did you use? What classes?

    The Shared Experience: Keep on the Borderlands

    Started in 1986 when I was a wee lad but haven't played any of the original modules. Wait I did play through some of the the Temple of Elemental Evil 3.0 conversion.

    Is 4th edition getting soft? - edited for friendly content :)

    Additionally the party cleric at 10th level will be willing to waste a spell slot on death ward.

    Find the Anime Challenge

    Yes for a very high powered super hero. The multiple hits at once is a more common visual technique for lower powered characters in Asian storytelling. Chinese martial arts comics do this a lot. However Nightcrawler from the X-Men did that sort of thing all the time during the 80s.

    The 4th edition class list so far

    Is it possible that the Paladin has been renamed Warlord? I thought I saw earlier hints that the paladin would not be deeply to LG alignment.

    D&D 4E Some thoughts on 4e magic from a designer

    Interesting, this fills me with a lot of hope. I loved the feel of 1st ed illusionists a lot. I never got to play one, but I spent hours going over the spell list as a kid and was just charmed by how unique the spell list was. The same was true of the Druid in 1st ed. The illusionist was...

    New ways to generate ability scores.

    I forgot who originally published this on ENworld but I've used this system for about a 1/2 dozen campaigns and it works well. Take a deck of cards. Draw out 2 through 6 for each suite. Shuffle these cards. Deal out the cards, face up into 6 piles of 3. You will have two cards left over...
