    DDI September/October Update info

    I hope the web-based thingie is just a website where Mac and other OS users can go and make dudes along side the character builder program thats downloaded. Where I play my D&D, there is no internet access, and I don't want to pay the internet more money so I can have the ability to pay WoTC...

    Anyone else tired of game mechanic freebies?

    The Themes don't actually do more, the just allow characters to do somthing different. It's like getting a sword with one side sharp, you can only swing it one way. Then theres this new sword with 2 sharp sides, you can now swing it 2 ways, but not both at the same time. Thats what the themes...

    Fireball still sucks, here's my fix

    I agree that fireball lost some of it's charm in 4e, but it never pushed people arround or set things on fire before... it just got more dangerous. My solution: Add a Heroic feat "Improved fireball" that adds a d6 per tier to damage. Add a Paragon feat "Enhanced fireball" that adds a d6 per...

    STILL No Character Builder Update?

    Duke Nukem Forever? Kidding aside, here's my theory as why its taking so long: Essentials made it so the character builder requires a <"New format">. WoTC employees were instructed from <Date X> forward to write every entry for the CB update in the <New Format>. The <New Format> requires...

    d20 Modern Reboot: What Would You Want to See?

    Star Wars Saga Edition is already out... and done... so my d20 modern changes have been dealt with ;) But seriously, I'd love to see the SWSE rules in use for the "new" d20 modern. Of cource Gamma world is looking pretty awesome, so that might fill the gap.

    Black Diamond Games Blog - An Experiment

    I personally would have traded in my pathfinder core for somthing else. Pathfinder didn't change enough to warrant a book on my shelf. I also would have tried to get a better deal trading in my Warhammer fantasy Roleplay. I'd ask for at least 50% of ITs value, not 50% off

    No DDI updates?

    Thanks for the link and the answers. As far as my email goes, I do get WoTC letters (I got a notice to renew my subscription last week... or the week before) but I didn't get this one in particular.

    No DDI updates?

    Did I miss an announcement? Is there a valid reason why WoTC is slacking off on their DDI updates lately? I mean the last Adventure Tools and Character Builder update was August 3rd. We're aproaching quickly on October, and there isn't even an update scheduled on their release calander. Is there...

    Why Use Dungeon Tiles?

    Got to play a one-shot Delve tonight. The DM used my new Essentials Dungeon set. He was able to replicate the delve maps exactly from the one box. I'd consider being able to run WoTC adventures with the exact map peices a bonus!

    Neverwinter 4E!

    So I was reading over at Escapist Magazine and found that Cryptic has the rights to Neverwinter Nights. In the article (in the link above) it delivers a few points. Some of which are: Neverwinter will use the 4E mechanic! It will be an online game (but not an MMO) It is being made with quest...

    Hit Points... Up or Down?

    As a player, I add damage totals up. As a DM I subtract HPs. It just "feels right" this way, I don't know why.

    The Pinnacle of your Collection

    Any one thing from my collection? Thats a little tough. I don't have anything outwardly valuble... maybe Starships of the Galaxy or Knights... but those really don't wow me. Old stuff? Yeah, I have a couple books in my collection older than I am... autographed by their orriginal owners (who...

    If money were no object

    Start my own RPG company, employ a couple big names, like Ari Marmell, and start off a buisness in a big way. Maybe even buy an add spot on TV.

    Alternative: Girls (females) in D&D/ Roleplaying

    If women want to be in my games, they need to grow a pair :p But no, seriously, I don't change anything in my game sessions for women in general, unless they spacifically come up to me and say "Hey, I didn't like this beacause [reason]".

    Subscription levels dropping

    Well, I'm glad I could help. When my subscription dropped I didn't realize until your site said I wasn't a subscriber any longer. I re-subscribed because I love this place. What I think might help is a schedule for what free stuff is going to be released. One thing I look forward to is the...

    WoTC Press Conference Regarding Wand Issues

    Break it down into residuum? BREAK IT DOWN?? I want the full 5/5ths I payed for it not 1/5! I'm quite upset with this... quite upset!

    Divine Intervention in D&D games

    Gods are an iffy subject. I have used gods alot in my games, but then again, I usually run game in the Forgotten Realms setting where it seems like the gods stroll the streets and interact with people all the time, just because they have nothing better to do. I try to use gods sparingly, to...

    D&D 5E Essentials: More like 3.9e than 4.5e (link inside)

    I really like the idea of what wizards is doing with their rules revision. I, as a fan of 4e (and 3.5, and 2, and ... ...) wanted a revised set of rules anyway. I knew when I started seeing the power model change slightly with each new PHB that Wizards was figuring out how to properly use their...
