It's finally happened, you've all been possessed by demons. I'm gonna go panic in a corner.

Another guess - do you have any software that intercepts / scans links? Spyware detectors or antivirus? They can sometimes cause specific URLs to time out.

Oddly enough, when I ping forums.gleemax.com, I get 100% packet loss as well. But the site loads. Well, I have no idea why you can't load it, but did you try power cycling your modem / router?

Hello. I'm using Firefox 3.5, and the WotC forums load just fine. Normal speeds. Are these forums the only websites you can't access?

I'd love to roll those for totally random NPC social reactions.

No way, not for me. If an option is providing +40 damage while all the other options are providing +10 damage (all else being equal), I'll definitely knock that +40 to +10 rather than fiddle with potentially large parts of my story.

I'm gonna have to go with TMNT as well. Intriguing character generation, but bizarre game mechanics otherwise.

Hi, it's legit. It's one of the new at-will cards that come with a box of official mini's. PH Heroes Preview 3 As for its power level, I assume the powers on these cards haven't been playtested as much as the ones in the books, so they may need some tender loving touch by the DM. You should...

I deal with it on a case by case basis. Some people are awful to game with while drinking. Others are perfectly fine.

But what function does this serve, other than as a "what you think my character's alignment is" vs. "what I think my character's alignment is" metagame?

4e is pretty careful to separate out a character's powers from his behavior. No class loses powers based on ethos violations - at least that's the default assumption.

I think Regicide's point is, play your charcter the way you want to portray him/her. It really shouldn't matter what's written in the alignment space - if you want to play him as what you think is "lawful good," then play him as lawful good. If you've got a good grasp on what you want to do with...

I love those things man. Your PCs never even really need to see one. Just the idea of one can spur on a lot of nice, panicky adventures.

The Second Unhuman War was a part of Spelljammer from its inception, so it's not really a setting cataclysm like the others that Nymrohd listed.

The thread seems fine to me. It generated some relevant discussion about the article. As well, the original poster contributes thoughts himself a few posts down. Anyway, I prefer individual article discussion. I'll just skip the ones that don't interest me.

I'm frankly quite boggled by how you came to any of these conclusions through examination of edition mechanics.

That's what I was implying. I haven't. Irrelevant. I've not found the flavor aspects of 4e "default" setting to affect its game mechanics. I've been a fan of PS since its very beginning, and I've played D&D since the BECMI days, and I don't find anything about 4e that clashes mechanically...

I agree. Planescape had tons and tons of fantastic descriptions and histories, while being very mechanics-minimalist. Most of the "stat blocks" were half a line of game information. I'm actually thinking of running a 4e Planescape game.

Galloglaich is pointing out the game in his sig, I think.

Solos have a fundamental design problem. They're supposed to be equal to five creatures, but in most cases they present a much easier fight than five creatures. The issue pertaining to your case is that any debilitating effects applied to a solo is, encounter wise, theoretically equivalent to...
