I voted Keep Both, but more accurately, I'm voting that the system needs to remain such that there's always an outside chance of success or failure. That does not have to be natural 1 / natural 20, but both are straightforward and traditional. If there is a replacement rule that fits that need...

That said, I don't think that's quite how 4e will work. I bet there's a lot of reorganization behind the scenes. The podcast mentioned that in 4e, the move action was for movement only. My current guess is we'll see only three action types: Minor Action (formerly Swift and Move Equivalent)...

I am a Wayne Reynolds fan, but I've been disappointed with the PHB cover from the beginning. Not my favorite of his work. I also would love the "Adventurers and Green Dragon" art for the PHB, but I'd settle for a more interesting original piece for the replacement cover. M biggest fear is that...

That's an interesting hypothesis. Could be so. Based on SW Saga, I expect Fighters will get a first level BAB boost along the lines of a flat +2 bonus to all attack rolls. I could see such a bonus being combined with benefits based on weapon proficiency, though.

The Gnome And Me: Back in my relaxed days of being a D&D player, our DM used gnomes in a "gnomes of Zurich" type role. They were the money controllers and the not-so-secret masterminds behind much of the world. "Never cross a gnome" was a motto to live by. In our first game, we were explorers...

Sure I can! I had friends try to get me into Champions on several occasions; I invariably ended up running out of the room screaming and/or crying halfway through the session. (Manly tears, of course. Tears of rage.) No, Champions was for stinky powergaming losers! Er. Can I amend my earlier...

At the risk of beating a dead horse, I was surprised that no one corrected Ty on his premise: An important part of the quote that Ty edited out: Just to get a bit of accuracy with regards to Ty's complaint. (To which I chime in with all the others - no, not in the least. In no small part...

I'm also a WAR fan who doesn't particularly dig the PHB cover we've seen previewed. But what I really wanted to comment on was one of my favorite details of ainatan's cover - the relocation of the title bar to the top of the page, rather than 1/4 of the way down with an additional inch of art at...

A quick check in Delicious Library reports (to my horror) that I've got 35 3e and 3.5e in my collection, plus a couple of years of Dungeon and the odd Dragon, as well as Arcana Unearthed/Evolved and Iron Heroes. I'm optimistic about 4e. I think there are various possible and contradictory...

I DM for group A; I and all 5 of my players in the group run Macs. I play in group B, DMed by one of my group A players. Of the three players in group B who are not in group A, one is a Mac user, one is a PC user, and the third hasn't brought a laptop to the group in the two months we've been...

One of my big hopes on hearing the 4e announcement was that prestige classes would be gone. I was initially disappointed to hear that that wouldn't be the case, but I'm also getting the sense that prestige classes will be handled by something along the lines of talent trees, which sounds good...

I don't think we're ever going to see another setting come out based on Rich Burlew's submission, largely because I believe it's been parted out already. James Wyatt has mentioned in the past that the death-worshipping aspects of Aereni elven culture came from Burlew's submission, and I wouldn't...

There should absolutely be just a single set of mechanics for elves in 4e. That said, with the implication that races grant additional abilities as you increase in level, and there being player choice involved in the abilities you get, I think there's plenty of room to have the single set of...

If anyone's still trying, I finally got through. Took a couple of minutes per page, but it made it into my shopping cart eventually. Good luck, y'all! And thanks, GR!

Same boat. I'm going to keep trying and hope for the best, but there's only 2.5 hours of Free RPG Day left - assuming of course that Green Ronin, like me, is on Pacific time. Poor sad overloaded servers. Good news for GR, at least - they seem to have some good visibility!

I'm finally getting a chance to run Eberron for the first time, GMing the Age of Worms. And while I've always been a warforged advocate, I'm rather suprised to find that after our first two sessions, I'm finding our two warforged, one fighter and one cleric, are somewhat rendering our other two...
