    Ecology of the Dragonborn up

    It doesn't bother me one bit, but then, wouldn't you also have been fine with dragonborn just... not having boobs? Seems silly to argue either way, but still.

    What's with the Gnome Hate?

    Also, aside from Eberron, Midnight's gnomes were quite well represented. I also think they were very important to Greyhawk, but that's me.

    What's with the Gnome Hate?

    Traditionally (in D&D) Gnomes have been the finer craftsman. The dwarves were blacksmith's and the gnomes were jewelers. All the dwarven craftsmen stuff kind of glosses over the uber-elf craftsman too though. Elves tend to the "overpowered" side of magic, grand illusions and world altering...

    What's with the Gnome Hate?

    Actually, there were real gnomes in Spelljammer, and they hated Tinkers with a passion, IIRC. Nice aesthetic ships woven with magic and illusion and then some jackass thinks they're a tinker... I'm sure it led to plenty of murders cloaked in illusions.

    Lots more spam/porn since the change?

    Did I just not chance on the stuff before? Or have there been more lately than before?

    Earthdawn 4e Announced

    Paint me cautiously optimistic. I loved ED as much as I loved SR. FanPro destroyed SR for me and I wasn't very impressed with LRG's ED. I have no clue how Redbrick is, but I'm willing to give them a shot. The problem being, I can easily see this as getting lost in the shuffle and never...

    Heroes Season 3... Sept 15?? Origins dead

    No no, DL recovers from getting shot, becomes a firefighter, THEN gets ganked. As I mentioned, they have to reset things over and over just to try to tell the story they intend. If they try to follow what they think the fans want, it'll just get worse, IMO.

    So THAT's why Regdar gets no love...

    Well, the problem with this thread is that a lot of this topic was already covered when Lockwood mentioned something a week or three ago. And, lets be honest, historically speaking there probably weren't a lot of "black knights". No one is writing about Rokugan's books not featuring enough...

    Diablo III

    Well: 1) Gameplay difficulty is not represented well in demo-reels. If the character keeps dying, it's hard to showcase the product. (He also mentions how they tweaked the chest for loot and such.) 2) If you remove the plot from this game, then you may as well remove it from all the games...

    Heroes Season 3... Sept 15?? Origins dead

    I think part of the problem was too much jumping around and not enough advancement/ resolution. It was only made worse by them replaying the same drama from the first season with Claire & Dad. They spent the first season bringing all the heroes together, then immediately split them up and...

    4E Gods - Where's the crunch?

    Should we start asking when 4.5 will be here?

    So THAT's why Regdar gets no love...

    For the race thing, I think it would have been a more useful comment had he posted BEFORE Lockwood revealed the same thing. Now it just seems like he's reacting to that in a sort of "ooh, me too!" way. For racial diversity in artwork, you need to figure whether the setting has such racial...

    So THAT's why Regdar gets no love...

    I think what the Iconics offer to the consumer is consistency and a sense of continuation. Sure, it can be boring, that consistency. On the other hand, it also means that they won't have to worry about tieflings that look like someone said "hey, make that random human in that artwork a...

    4E Gods - Where's the crunch?

    I think the main "cause" of the "problem" is due to the decision to give each class equality. Each class gets 2 archtypes, each class gets similar number of powers. At some point they probably even worried that they were putting too many cleric feats in the feat chapter. If they'd picked 5 main...

    4E Gods - Where's the crunch?

    I think even a basic start would have been to assign gods to the Battle Cleric and Devoted Cleric archtypes, though obviously not every cleric of Kord must be a battle cleric or whatnot. Second step I would have liked would be adding "spheres" to the deities, much like weapon groups, and giving...

    New Gnome Look

    It's another part of the 4e upgrade. "Why use the name Gnome (or, Lamia) if the creature created has no real relation to what came before." As I've mentioned before, 4e's gnome seems more the Forest Gnome that was small and could disappear, as opposed to shall we say the "arcane" gnome that was...

    Goodman is clearly going to the GSL.

    He's doesn't have to comment, obviously, but it's not that huge of a market. If the answer will be obvious as soon as someone picks up a product ("hey, there's no GSL here") then there's no real reason NOT to. Anyway, was just curious.

    Goodman is clearly going to the GSL.

    So, have Goodman and WotC publicly just refused to comment on what's going on?

    "Looks like we're going to win this battle . . . in about 90 minutes from now."

    I think some of them had just been burnt by previous games where the retreat just meant "we'll ambush you later". Unless the guy is a serious NPC, my retreats usually don't tangle again. It varies by the encounter of course.

    "Looks like we're going to win this battle . . . in about 90 minutes from now."

    I think it started with computer games, where you just sit down in a hallway and rest until your spells are back... But, part of it is also the entitlement thing, where players want to have all their options each time. In a lot of the games I've been in, it was common practice to blow high...
