    Discussions about writing in '4e compatable' mode?

    Basically you have to stay away from names and other product ID. Refering to anything that would be setting material, like the Gods listed in the PHB. However, there is nothing saying you can't describe the mechanics of the game in your own words. You pretty much have to reword things so they...

    2008 ENnie Awards Nominees Announced!

    Good to see Roma Imperious get a nomination. I have been trumpeting that one for about 4 years now, before it was True 20.

    Spellbooks for Wizards: Free or 50g?

    I don't know, if it says "You possess a spellbook book" that by the laws of language it means you have it in hand. In my game they get it for no cost since the PHB says "you possess".

    D&D 3E/3.5 3e -> 4e: Have we lost options?

    There may be a few less options but on the whole I think it is very similar in total number of options, comparing core books. It think that building a character in 4E now is less focused on feats and more focused on class abilites and powers and that may give people the impression that there...

    The new FAQ and armor proficiency

    I agree that every rule, for evey instance shouldn't be required but we do have quite a lot of "retarded gerbils" playing RPGs. :D

    The new FAQ and armor proficiency

    I think a better wording of the FAQ would say: "The Armor Proficiency (scale) feat requires a 13 constitution. However, fighters are considered to meet all prerequisites for the armor proficiencies listed under "armor proficiencies" in the "Class Traits" section. "

    Masterwork armor doubts

    Huh...that makes absoultely no sense at all. Well, I found the first house rule that I'll be using in 4E. The bonus will not dictate the armor material in my game. BTW, do you have a link to the FAQ. I'm having a hell of a time finding it. Thanks.

    Masterwork armor doubts

    This is incorrect from the way I understand it. +6 leather is +6 leather. +6 leather is better than feyleather (AB +3) but it does not become feyleather. Base Feyleather is +3 vs +2 for base leather. The biggest difference is that Feyleather reaquires at least a +4 enhancement bonus if it...

    Number of Powers Per Day

    Yes, you basically have the idea. Just a clarification, Utility powers can work similar at-will or encounter powers, the description will tell you how often and when you can use them.

    Dispelling the anti-4e misinformation and why 4e is the best ever!

    I seem to be in the minority but by my reading of the books it looks like 4E is actually less dependant on minis.

    A very pricey game: opinions?

    Before getting married and becoming a father I would spend about $2000/ year on gaming stuff and about 3/4 of that money was on RPG related stuff (books,dice,software...ect). Now I'm down to about $500/year on gaming stuff. Still, compared to say Golf or Fishing it's very cheap at $2000/year.

    4E is NOT a V3.75!

    I've had the books for almost two days now and the bidning and materials seemt to be of the same quality as 3.X. I think the layout is much improved over 3.x which I thought was way too busy looking and hard to use as a reference. I like the simple layout, it's nice clean and easy to scan...

    D&D is Back!

    It does seem that those who don't like 4E try to use the most insulting form of thought they can.

    How long does a new print run take?

    Yeah, about six weeks before they hit the shelves.

    4E is NOT a V3.75!

    The funny thing is for me 3.X didn't feel like any of the other editions, but I moved past that and it became "D&D".

    4E is NOT a V3.75!

    Ok, that might be the case. It doesn't feel like any of the previous versions, that I can admit. I'm not saying people have to like 4e but to simply say it "sucks" is little overboard IMO. Hey, if people don't like that there is a MTG feel to it or that it doesn't really feel like any of the...

    D&D is Back!

    So far I like what I have seen of the the game and it really makes me want to play in a way that D&D hasn't in the last two editions. No, 4E is not dumbed down. I wish people would quite saying was because it most defintly isn't. More streamlined, yet just as tactical , IMO.

    4E is NOT a V3.75!

    Not a good example you have the choice of buying the game you have no choice if you are going to die or not.

    4E is NOT a V3.75!

    You maybe right. When someone says something sucks, I take that as an objective statement. That they've used the info they know about it and they think it's and inferior product in comparison to similar products. Maybe they really mean "It's not my cup of tea".
