    DM Tip Jar -- is that going too far?

    I pay my female players a few bucks here and then for wearing skimpy outfits and jiggling their dice a lot before each roll. (shrug) The entire world is about commerce. Experience points or dollars, what does it really matter?

    Core books cover art

    And why do you think green dragons are always in a bad mood, hmmmm?

    DM Tip Jar -- is that going too far?

    Wouldn't need a tip jar if you had a decent contract in place. Nope. Retired. But great ideas never go away.

    What happens to previous edition material on store shelves?

    Does anyone know what happens to older edition D&D material once a company (WotC or second-party supporter) releases books for a new edition? There was so much time between 2nd and 3rd edition, I don't suppose it presented a problem, but what happened when 3e became 3.5e -- did WotC order...

    Core books cover art

    I actually like(d) the fake-cover cover of 3rd edition. Then again, art "inspiration" is a very personal matter. I find that once I've been exposed to a particular image, that interpretation of the subject tends to lodge itself in my brain -- and not always in a good way. I prefer to leave some...

    How much is a "preview" book worth to you?

    The impetus for this discussion was the front-page news that such a product was already listed on Amazon.com. I'm pretty sure there's a price tag attached there already, should you feel the urge to look it up.

    How much is a "preview" book worth to you?

    :) The phrase you might hear others mutter involves a "lily-white" body part.

    Why is there no dwarf-hate?

    Because once you loathe elves, you've got no hate left for anything else. It's all-consuming. But I try to hold a little hate in reserve for dwarves' movement penalty. Can't stand them because they're so stupidly slow. Always tripping over their own beards. Even the women.

    If we all rolled the normal way for stats, how come he has three 18's?

    Was Chuck Norris anywhere within a 20-mile radius of the dice-rolling site? His presence alone can rub off on people nearby -- better dice rolls, immaculate conceptions, spontaneous healing, being able to find that sock you lost a month ago, etc. I once rolled a 19 on 3d6 just by thinking...

    Info on "Inn Fighting," the (in-game) dice game?

    If I understand correctly, the Inn Fighting dice game was crafted so it can be played in-game as well as by itself without PCs. A couple of questions: 1. How successfully do in-game gambling scenarios play out for your group? 2. Any details on the mechanics of Inn Fighting available? (I'm...

    How much is a "preview" book worth to you?

    Yeah. I have to wonder the same thing. I have to think it's a shelf-filler, just to keep the retail presence in place and maybe make a few bucks in the process. Holiday gift profits?

    How much is a "preview" book worth to you?

    I spend a quarter of my life at the local Border's book store anyway. Browsing there, with an overpriced cup of coffee and pastry, should be good enough -- no purchase necessary.

    How much is a "preview" book worth to you?

    How much is it worth to you to acquire a 96-page book that provides some information about 4th edition races/classes just months before the release of the actual PHB?

    The 4th edition class list so far

    Well, the latest ENW cover news update confirms some of the more obvious elements again. I s'pose.

    The 4th edition class list so far

    It amuses me that there's still some talk of playtesting the classes and deciding the final picks for the core PHB, when the UK Amazon.com site is offering a race/class preview book for sale by Dec. 17. Doesn't that pretty much imply that the big decisions should have already been made by now?

    Why are monkeys being given treasure?

    I think we've just proven that you can apply a monkey template to an online message thread.

    The 4th edition class list so far

    The initial posters on this thread pointed to actual published resources that justified the classes they listed. If you can expand on those references to explain your list, please do so and help out the rest of us.

    Why are monkeys being given treasure?

    Excerpts from EN's front page: Why do we need monkeys in 4E? Did someone ask for more primates?

    An orc throws a pie in your face. What's the saving throw sweet spot?

    Redundant threads of half-funny originals are less than a quarter-funny.

    The 4th edition class list so far

    Bobby was never very stealthy; he was always waving that club around and yelling about his stupid unicorn. You're thinking of Sheila, with the cloak.
