    How would you houserule (nerf) magic at high levels.

    the concern here seems to be keeping magic and melee equal. This shoudl only be a concern when the players are fighting against each other. Wizards and other spellcasters get nerfed many ways. Many high levle enemies have spell resistance. Many extraplanar entities have huge swathes of...

    Dungeon #188 ToC is up, Juiblex!

    At this point though, is the table of contents more of a wish list that WoTC would like to get up this month? Well, we'd really like to post some great aricles but hey, you know, quality first right?

    Dungeon #187 - first issue with 0 adventures?

    let us know how that works when you start hitting the upper level of paragon and epic. It becomes more than just bumping hit points and damage capacity as the options of the players don't only scale up, but increase in versitility as well. There's also supposed to be the whole 'thematic' bits...

    [March] What are you reading?

    Joe Abercoimes The Heroes. Gritty and great.

    Dungeon #187 - first issue with 0 adventures?

    Sure there is. Consistency. WoTC has failed to provide consistant Dungeon crawling adventure paths since, well, they took over. I'm not saying every AP Paizo puts out is high art or something. But every month if you want it, since Pathfinder started coming out, you could go to the store and...

    Dungeon #187 - first issue with 0 adventures?

    If only that wisdom had been followed in first edition with those unbalanced classes in Unearthed Arcana! Or second edition with those numerous Complete books.... etc... The rate they're going though, the 'magazine' portions will all be freebies because they'll pretty much be limited to...

    Dungeon #187 - first issue with 0 adventures?

    Man, I keep hoping that WoTC will wow me with content and to be honest, some of the stuff they have listed for March does sound good but the actual produced material? Not good WoTC. Maybe someone will bring it up to Mearls in the Rule of three eh?

    Hell, if I had a clue if my landlord is renewing my lease or not in two months I might have throw many many many more boxes worth of stuff in there.

    I myself have four boxes of miniatures, d20, Legends of the 5 Rings, and other bits in there.

    DM "adding" to your PC's background?

    When I'm a player, I try to leave some wiggle room for the GM. Few are the ideas created in isolation that couldn't be tweaked to fit the game and mood better. It works fairly well because in my case at least, I was able to give the GM some 'hooks' to throw new players and characters into the...

    Will print versions be available in stores or only via lulu?

    The Ultimate "Splat" Books?

    When Paizo starts releasing three hardcovers a month it might be time to reassess the situation.

    D&D 4E Is it me, or are we in a 4e dry spell?

    There are a host of products WoTC could do in ye old 'Essentialized' formats if they so choose. Heroes of the Mind springs up immediately to add things like the Soul Blade and Essentialize the PHB3 bits. But regardless of what they could do.... Yes, it is a dry spell. And that's true for some...

    Miniatures and Madness - Legends and Lore by Mike Mearls

    And supposedly the next monster boxed set has... counters. And if WoTC decides to use, you know, ten minutes of time, when doing adventurers for Dungeon, since they probably already have the illustrations, they could throw in a sheet of... counters. Hell, maybe even full scale maps to go with...

    Miniatures and Madness - Legends and Lore by Mike Mearls

    Here's just my opinion. In one hand, hold Mike's stated preferences. In the other, hold WoTC profit goals. If it's a Venn diagram, perhaps there is some overlap. In my opinion, only my opinion, DDI going online, the cancellation of the miniatures, the heavy, extremely heavy on Dungeon...

    Miniatures and Madness - Legends and Lore by Mike Mearls

    A bug? Counters will take care of that 'bug' and be cheaper for most people and do the same job.l Heck, the VTT will take care of that bug and be incorporated into the system. Maybe with a seperate tier if you want it to say other than the monsters name and status. For example, black circle...

    Miniatures and Madness - Legends and Lore by Mike Mearls

    How does that work for Magic the Gathering? I've heard several times that they are trying to make D&D resemble Magic more than a online game and with the Fortune Cards out and Mike talking about GM versus rule design? Oh yeah. Wave goodbye to the screen ladies and gentlemen.

    Which Miniatures company is best suited to take over the D&D pre-painted mini line?

    Wizkids would be the only one I would bet on only because they have extensive delaings with the market to begin with. As a matter of fact, Privateer Press just changed their marketing on their already random prepainted line Monsterocolypse.

    Miniatures and Madness - Legends and Lore by Mike Mearls

    No, I was not joking. Dungeon, has for many moons, required little actual role playing and lots of dice rolling. I love rolling the dice but if it's all about combat combat combat, why does the GM need to be there? Each player can take a monster's turn on an opposing players turn or something...

    5th edition will have no GM.
