Twelve actions for transforming the 6th Edition of D&D into a Eurogame without boardgamizing it. Twelve actions for transforming the 6th Edition of D&D into a Eurogame without boardgamizing it. Action 1: Keep it Simple. Boil down the rules to the very barest minimum, with the very least...

Hey buddy! :)

Way back last year I offered a proposal for really opening up D&D to a Third Golden Age based on the Free Culture model: Had my concept been listened to, and enacted, then last January we would have already had a "Free D&D!" community use license and a "D&D Compatible" commercial license...

Threefold Social Organism for the World of RPGs I would like to see the RPG designers, the RPG distributors, and the RPG customers each form an Association or Guild that operates via contractual pre-purchase and shared risk. The RPG designers, distributors, and customers would no longer be at...

Blackmoor 4e Zeitgeist Games and Code Monkey Publishing have announced plans for 4E Blackmoor -- a continuation of their WotC license. http://www.codemonkeypublishing.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=1185&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= Travis

Overall I like it. Two snags for me: 1) The limit to two classes feels like 4e lopped off a happy AD&D tradition. Surely there's some way a three multiclass system could work, even if it was mostly a token rule. For example, the third multiclass might provide an even smaller set of class...

Hospitaler is apparently a Paladin Paragon Path that focuses on healing others. The Cat Burglar is listed in the "class" box on a power card. Here's the two source photos:

"English"? If one includes in "English" only words that are of Old English descent, then "kensai" is not English. If one includes in "English" words that are used in modern spoken and written English, then "kensai" is surely "English", even if it is only used in the specialized English jargon...

Using both the GSL and OGL by splitting into two companies. What's to stop game companies from splitting into two separately-incorporated companies: one using the 4e GSL and one using the OGL? Travis

Chaotic Elver -- Elver -- Un-trawlined -- Gar -- Lawful Gar Hake guys! You ignored my question about albacores...I mean alignments! That's not very nase. In fact I think it's rudd. And here I thought you were a nice grouper fellows, not aholeholes. Trevally...I mean Travis

Alignment a Continuum instead of a Grid? So is the Chaotic Evil--Evil--Unaligned--Good--Lawful Good alignment system a continuum (like an extended version of Dragonlance's Good-Neutral-Evil axis) rather than a grid (the nine-alignment scheme)? I mean, does Chaotic Evil now mean "infra-evil" and...

I admire the bravery of the fellows who've shared their struggles here. My name is Travis and I'm a destructive eater and a gamer. In my earliest pictures I was a bright-eyed adventurous tyke, but around the age of 4-5, I became chubby. I hated having to shop for clothes in the "husky" section...

An interesting read! The only mistake I noticed is where you wrote "bride" instead of "bridge". Also, what you call VAT is called "sales tax" here. I empathize with your surprise and frustration at the lack of sidewalks and pedestrian access to bridges. In this regard, America is insane. The...

I don't know, since I don't own the book. Here's some previews though: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4spot/20071019a http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4ex/20071015a

Hints about classic modules for 4e I suspect that WotC plans to revisit every dungeon that's described in the recent Dungeon Survival Guide.
