    The Core Pantheon (What we know so far...) Update 3

    22 with Melora (not listed but revealed) so far. More gods than appeared in 3e, and a much more interesting selection besides (IMO). Particularly fond of the death of race-specific gods, Pelor cementing his position as primary human god, Ioun the god of magic (:D), and the potential for a...

    What stat bonuses do you expect the non-elves will get?

    This bolding mine, to indicate something that -might- contradict you. Too soon to tell without a look at a Small creature.

    From R&C: Pargon Paths & Epic Destinies

    From my reading of it they appear to be pretty integrated into the leveling system, but you keep leveling in your chosen class as well. They go in the "Special" column, after feats and attribute increases. In my understanding. It does, however, sound like it would be pretty easy to whip up an...

    Rich Baker confirms new look of Gnomes

    I got enough of the image of new gnomes (ngnomes?) from the cartoon, but Klaus has really remolded it to a believable MM illustration there. Gnomes get shuffled out of the "don't mind us, having a little Renaissance in the middle of your Dark Ages" feel I wound up sticking them with before and...

    What stat bonuses do you expect the non-elves will get?

    My own nickel... I see a Charisma bonus rather than Intelligence, personally; I don't have R&C myself (too busy to go and pick it up) but that's my bet. Frankly, I'd be happy if dwarves were all CON, all the time. Well, we know this is right. Certainly seems reasonable. Not sure how I feel about...

    Holiday Present - The Elf PHB entry

    Well, I like the hell out of that. Not totally sold on the Group Awareness, but it's a small enough bonus I can adjust it without too much trouble. Everything else is excellent. The eladrin teleport must be pretty short range if it's only competing with a to-hit reroll, though. Still don't...

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    Now -that's- a gnome I can use. I like the tieflings, too. With their obvious pronunciation and everything. :)

    Shepherd, Rancher, Farmer... Orcharder?

    Having checked the Home Orchard Society website, it appears this is indeed correct. Just to confirm.

    D&D 4E 4e Races and Classes: "Why we changed the gods"

    Q. F. T. This sounds to me, in a lot of ways, like the least crufty edition ever. The rule books will contain play-supporting elements, a light flavor, and very little else. Season to taste with homebrew details or just grab a dangerous piece of metal and go bash a gribblie with a world that...

    Dice Tubes...

    I believe that was a suggestion in their old ads in gaming magazines, no less.

    D&D 4E New "Confessions of a Full Time Wizard" - 4e tidbits!

    Point buy based on an array, rather than the basement? See, I just might be turned around on this rolling stats thing as long as it's not prohibitive to break 15 again.

    Dice Tubes...

    If you don't buy them in tubes, dice come in 7-die sets with only 1d6. 's how all my polyhedral sets came when I rebuilt my collection this past year.

    Crystal Caste - Free Dice! [Not!]

    I confirm spades' email; there are no free copper dice. Only copper dice at $3.50 each. Given that's what I pay for a set of dice normally, I think I'll pass.

    new playtest report by Steve Winter

    Player problem. Please revise solution. Player problem. Please revise solution. Giving orders to other characters. Everybody makes the typo of calling the PCs "players" sometimes, but it's particularly glaring here. Because no pre-4e paladin has ever demanded the party take "the high road"...

    Going Back to 3.0

    Well, then we got Arcana Evolved, which is a whole lot like Unearthed. That Feats book, though? I have it personally, and I've never seen a product as hit or miss as that one. There is at least one feat in the book no-one can take (as one pre-req feat can only be taken by elves, and another...

    Crystal Caste - Free Dice! [Not!]

    I undertook a similar process (less sets) and I was sent a $0 invoice for no product in email. On their main page there's a mention of a minimum $25 order, so I think you can only add them on to another purchase. Or there's a problem with the system and there are no free dice.

    What changes were made from 3E to 3.5 ?

    Huh. There's some stuff here I'd never noticed, or perhaps read once and rejected as "for tournament play". Like the changes to cover, darkness, and facing. Also, the Command spell was neutered, which I hate. I got more mileage out of that spell than any other when I played Dragon Mountain.

    Crystal Caste - Free Dice! [Not!]

    For the sake of those who grapple with metric even in dice, "regular" sized dice are 16mm, while these are 12mm, so...anticipate some little d10's. Still, copper dice are pretty awesome.
