I would like to see thier treatment of genie-kind and where they stand in all this elemental-plane-shuffling...if they even still exist. But I suspect we will see a dragon.

It has always made more sense to me that they be templates, and even back into the 1e days there were skeletons and zombies in published modules that were taken from animal, ogre and giant stock...in effect, templates even then though we didn't have that term to apply to them yet. Having said...

This is how I've been doing them for awhile now too, and it works out well enough. I don't even map the maze as DM, I just note on my map there's a maze in that area. I generate 4 or 5 encounters that will be found if the Survival skill checks are bad...usually ramping up in difficulty so the...

And if you're a 4e grubbing fanboy you'll rally to the defense despite the -HUMOR- tag? Yes we all know 4e is not going to fail because they called some book a compendium, Gene is just taking a somewhat satirical look at our 2 and a half edition sample of the past. (I say half because while...

This entire website is a small subset of D&D players. If we ALL used it in EVERY post...we're still just a small subset of D&D players.

Stab him in the eye with a stick. Even if he's dumb enough to try it twice, he'll just be bumping into walls as a bear or something.

But the length of a book and a movie aren't all that closely connected, and from the filmmaker's point of view are almost inverses. What takes a lot of page space to describe in a book, such as detailed setting or character details, is conveyed quickly visually. By the same token, things that...

Well, you're dealing with a base system of 20 (the d20) as the core mechanic, and I'm guessing they chose a hard upper limit where the hard modifiers and the random d20 came together to create the balance they were looking for...it really comes down to how your modifiers compare to the potential...

What sticks with me is that I'm not really paying for "virtual minis", random or not...I am paying to RENT THEM. As soon as WotC decides this isn't supported anymore, those minis are gone. Whereas the metal and plastics I have accumulated over almost 30 years of gaming...they're still in the...

Well, given that the 2nd/3rd level spell Blindness/Deafness is *pemanent* until healed, that doesn't seem beyond the scope of this 7th level spell, and that's how I do it. But you're right, it is ambiguous and if you feel that's too harsh, I can see where a reading could lead you to 1 rnd per...

Well, your situation was the worst of all worlds because you had weak UNTHINKING monsters...D&D zombies are not "dawn of the dead type"..or maybe PC's are just not the stand around and get eaten type..but either way that classic movie scene doesn't play out well beyond about 4th level. Weaker...

I have one player that latched onto the gnome some 20 years ago when we moved from B/X D&D to AD&D, and has played them exclusively ever since. He appears to be alone in the world :)

My predict...first place you'll actually see'em used is on aircraft carriers, rearming planes and moving them around. All this combat speculation is great, but this will be a forklift before it's a tank.

I've certainly worked in rains that I would classify as "immersion"..anyone who's visited Vancouver island or the Olympic peninsula knows what I am talking about...and I wouldn't have a problem letting them regenerate in those situations. I've been in rain that makes you no less wet than...

Yep, I usually just say "I'm driving tonight so just a coke, thanks"..never gotten any uncool reactions from it.

But you're only saving the space on your shelves until Amazon decides to stop supporting this thing, and all those DRM books you've "rented" suddenly can't find thier/your digital authentication anymore.

(Not a pick, an honest question asked to get information :) I can read your statement a couple different ways...is Real 3D cinema or Imax 3D the lesser and cheaper beast? Lol you edited while I was asking..good enough!

I'm going to step back in here and give this a qualified "Well, yes and no." There are generally a LOT of little fiddly bits running in a windows environment...run something like AdAware and look at how many processes are running even on a freshly installed and booted system...it will be...
