Is there a point where the lawyer can say "judge, opposing counsel is dumb and their mother dresses them funny. I move to dismiss!"?

That's what I remember too. People were able to assemble a list of 7 of 11 of the finalist entries. WotC didn't disclose what the settings were, and not every author disclosed their submission.

Is the point that mundane fighters should be able to get by without magic items? Or, that magic items are acceptable? Or, that items that give bonuses but aren't actually magical acceptable? Or, why is "acceptable" spelled with a second "a" when it should be with an "i"? Or, that fighters should...

That's what happens when you have a +1 sword and it needed to be +2.

Well, there's some shades of grey there. A dozen fighters can kill the Tarrasque, it's just going to get back up after a period of time. You need a team comprised of multiple talents for that one. I don't see that as a knock against or prohibition against wholly mundane fighters. A dozen...

Oh, in a "this, but not this" benchmark?

Planescape is official, and I believe it's presence allows for this product to be sellable on DM's Guild.

There were cheerleaders? Well, yes, of course there were cheerleaders. There's always cheerleaders.

Qwik - Thief, Monk Slash - Fighter (Dex), Ranger Drive - Fighter (Str), Paladin Griffer - Magician, Cleric

The finalists received $10k and the winner $100k.

Well, pedantically, that's a single target. That said, being able to inflict 40+ points of structural damage at 200 yards is no mean feat, and worthy of high end play. A great example.

Yes, depending on my mood, interest and the game's theme. Maybe. Presumably a thief can open more locks in a day than a magician could. The main benefit is that spells are quick, relatively speaking. Knowing a trick to open the door now, right now, they're gonna find us now can be a good...

I take it you didn't have access to the Raven's Bluff Extra-Planar adventures?

Well, to start in my adapted AD&D: Fighters gain +1 to attack per level and +(1 + Level/3) to damage. +1 to damage at 1st level, +2 at 4th, up to +5 at 12th. At 1st level they also have Smite (trade +1 attack for +1 damage, up to attack bonus), Parry (trade +1 attack for +1 AC, up to attack...

I played around with trying to fold Amber, LoSG, and Everway together. I wanted some random resolution system as I find Amber exhausting to run otherwise. Never had a chance to try it out, sadly.

Agreed. It's tough to enhance the fighter with Exploration pillar abilities when you just feat or MC into ranger or barbarian.

What I have done is the following: Develop three magical guilds, which are the subclasses. Each guild has access to 12 spells of each level, 1st - 6th. One thematic spell per level is considered a guild secret. The abilities of the guilds are taken from the spell type lists. So, one guild has...

Seconded! In particular, a set of tribunal books that are all the same edition.

In these situations, I usually tell the player 1) If you don't work as a team, the monsters will eat you 2) All actions have their consequences. I'm not going to punish you, but steal from enough people, or the wrong people, and you'll be chased. Now, if we're just having a stab-fest to blow...

Amazing how every stunt just opens him up further for examination. He can't just take the loss and just compounds it.
