Don't forget: Humans + Dwarves? Yes, with the offspring being mules (thank you, Dark Sun) Humans + Dragons? Oh yes. Humans + Thri-Kreen? Um... what?

Nobody I know has EVER had enough money to get all the D&D stuff that was coming out! Unless I become independently wealthy - and no one I know is - my strategy for D&D 4th Edition will be the same as all previous editions: Buy the stuff that gets my interest, and ignore or borrow everything else.

I'm curious as to why the first Minis 2.0 expansion isn't listed in the catalog.

That's because you've been trained by the visual language of Western film to accept it. In reality, I've seen a friend put his hand through a plate-glass window (not even his whole body) and the resulting injury caused profuse bleeding and required an immediate trip to the emergency room, dozens...

The lowest price they were talking about DDI was $10 - which is $6 less than buying both Dragon and Dungeon in a single month.

And they work a little too well at that; even though it's explicitly spelled out in the contract that if you change your rate plan your rollover minutes get capped at one month's worth of use on your new rate plan to keep people from pulling stupid rate plan stunts, we - I work for AT&T's...

APM is a clearinghouse company of public radio shows - it's the publishing arm of Minnesota Public Radio, the largest member organization under the NPR umbrella.

And it makes sense given that they've explicitly said they're trying to reduce the use of the DM as adversary model.

"Guy who makes the rest of the party superfluous by level 10" might be a niche for a character, but it's an awfully crappy one if you're not the person filling it. I support scaling back the wizard's power set.

I and the other DM in my regular circle of gaming friends are both interested in switching to 4E once the edition change hits.

It's been mentioned elsewhere but it's worth repeating - an important maxim of project design is "adding manpower tends to make a late project later."

In an RPG, the problem with that is that the processor running the game (the human brain) doesn't change in either speed or power. Most RPGs maintain a sort of backwards compatibility with previous material, but that's because in most RPGs, a new edition basically amounts to errata and bugfixes...

The knight's arming sword, the pattern for the D&D longsword, had both one-handed and two-handed techniques. Does that make the longsword an "exotic weapon" then?

Which is actually not true. PS2 games still outsell PS3 games. But that's because there are far more PS2 consoles out there (on the order of 120 million units, compared to about 5.5 million PS3 units) than PS3. It's a larger market to begin with, by an order of magnitude. But after the PS3...

Please, God. No more waste-a-feat weapons.

Remember, WotC doesn't publish anything but D&D game books. They certainly don't publish game tie-in novels, or miniatures, or any other game lines, let alone a large number of game lines under multiple imprints.

And I suspect some abusable combos are going to be left in to see who's paying attention.

None, but there's a point in visually being able to read a player character's gender...

For some reason, I'm getting a Trogdor vibe off the Dragonborn. I'm really not sure why but something about looking at some of their pictures makes me want to scream "TROGDOOOOOOR! TROGDOOOOOOR!" ;) :p :D

How about Merry hitting the Witch King with his mighty Backstab o' Death? ;)
