    "Worse than death"

    As with several things semi-unique to 4e, death is a fairly modest thing to overcome. I've seen more characters lost to boredom and players wanting to test out new ideas over being killed but... Being raised from the dead isn't that hard. It's not an epic ability. Characters would probably...

    Rule of Three finally addresses an important epic tier question!

    Ironically enoguh, if you do go with the kobolds with bigger numbers, that eliminates a number of potential problems as long as youre comfortable with the sliding scale on the monster builder. It becomes like any other computer game where the red kobolds are stronger than the blue kobolds are...

    Elminster and Epic Level Fighters

    Ironically enough if you go by strength, the 3rd edition rules kinda did that already with the variable character level versus cr rating so that characters who were lower level would rise in experience points faster than their comrades who just fought the same thing. Thank you very much Rolemaster.

    Pathfinder 1E LPJ Design’s Secret Pathfinder Project Announcement coming Friday

    I hope you people talking about the Razor Coast are wrong and it's LPJ designs paying clark 4 cents a word to work on Pathfinder material (Iron Tower for the win!)

    Rule of Three finally addresses an important epic tier question!

    I agree with you to a point. Let's take the old classic Secret Wars. The Beyonder isn't a standard hero or villain. He's probably not expected to make any other apperances at this time. Galactus has been fought before, but usually not with as much get out and go as he was this time nor with...

    Rule of Three finally addresses an important epic tier question!

    And in terms of monsters, the real problem is that epic is well, epic. By not treating it as its own tier with actual support, it leaves a lot of ideas floating around about what epic is or should be. And I'm not saying that Epic can't be one man holding the bridge against the host of Hela...

    Rule of Three finally addresses an important epic tier question!

    And to me, another HUGE problem with 4e support in terms of Epic, is magic items suck. I'm not saying we don't have some cool and useful magic items, but outside of the unique items and artifacts, there just isn't a lot of 'heart' in the 4e magic item system. 3e could be bad at times, but...

    HA! to all of you!

    I hope it means that the Red Box kicked all sorts of ass. I wonder what your post will be for '11 first quarter though...

    Pathfinder 1E Clark Peterson supporting Pathfinder?

    Hopefully he's finished off the Sword of Air and has reaquired the rights to publish Tengel Manor. outside of that I can't see what unique elements he'd be bringing to Pathfinder that isn't already filled out by numerous other third party members years after their official partnership (2007?)...

    Changes coming to WotC Community Team

    Bingo. So very simple. If they had launched it with the explanation of what it does instead of talking about what they hope it can do in some Fringe style universe.... "We imagine in the Fringe Universe, even now people are making monsters like crazy! Like crazy! :eek:

    Would you buy Epic Threats? (3pp)

    It depends. Monsters aren't that hard for most people to come up with, especially with reskinning or using the DDI and 'slidding' things up and down. It's one of the reasons why I said a boxed set on the thread you started this from. A boxed set would give you locations, an adventure, new...

    Rule of Three finally addresses an important epic tier question!

    After reading some of the back and forth here, I popped the $3.99 for Sly's Running Epic Games. I'll agree with one on one thing right off the bat. Super Heroes. It's very easy to see how a lot of super hero limited series, like Blackest Night, Sinistro War, Crisis of Infinite Earths, Infinite...

    ICv2 Top 5 Roleplaying Games - Q4 2010

    I don't think so. With WoTC having virtually no print products the first quarter, and Paizo putting out their regular good stuff, and Dragon Age 2 actually hitting the stores, I'm sure that'll be a boost. FFG has continued to support their game lines so I can see that will still probably play a...

    Rule of Three finally addresses an important epic tier question!

    Parts of the Elric series and Eternal Champion series. Stormbringer in particular, as well as Sailor on the Seas of Fate with the Four Who Are One. Maybe WoTC could do an Expedition to Firestorm Gates/Peaks Mountain/etc... where the characters have to save the universe from the far Realm...

    ICv2 Top 5 Roleplaying Games - Q4 2010

    I'm really surprised at Dragon Age being up there. I'd figured the dearth of product releases for it would've doomed it well behind Warhammer or other games. I wonder if doing the Q4 posts not as opposed to say Feb or earlier might be resulting in some interviews posting Dragonage as higher...

    Rule of Three finally addresses an important epic tier question!

    Well, it's not like WoTC is alone on this matter. Even Paizo which 'fixed' 3.5 cops out on their adventure paths at level 15 no? Home brewing is likley to be the only practical solution to this problem for quite a while.

    Rule of Three finally addresses an important epic tier question!

    They should have just said the old classic and truism. It wouldn't sell enough and we are now in a lock and load mode where every product we even think about must deliver above and beyond what it should killing any fringe style products that we might once have brought out.

    So, Hackmaster Basic?

    Is there a poster of that cover?
