    Goodman is clearly going to the GSL.

    At some point in all this controversy, I think the products would have been marked "GSL" or "under special license" if they were. AFAIK, there has been no official comment on their status, so I tend to think they're going the "not copyrighted" method. I'm not sure why they don't say that in some...

    Gnomes: Monster or PC (Poll)

    In some groups, I've seen more drow than humans. All of these discussions are of course anecdotal, since when it comes up others refute my claim that hardly anyone plays dwarves. (A race so unpopular in Shadowrun, they had to give them bonuses without penalties to offset it...) I've had lots of...

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

    I had a couple encounters when I DM'd where the villain's position had obviously become untenable and he fled. (In one case, the guy actually still died from a lingering effect, but he sunk to the bottom of the lake and the players thought he'd escaped...) The players hated it, most expressing...

    Look, I'm a Monster...

    I think the video isn't funny, and it's presence as a marketing tool totally fails to take into effect that gnome fan's feelings were hurt, instead it grinds them a bit more. You, think I"m absurd. Which of us is making personal attacks, and which of us is discussing the video?

    July '08: Now Playing?

    Mostly grinding WoW, though I am on the last level of Psychonauts. "Platformers" always have a brick wall here or there to smack into... Also played the demo of Ninja Gaiden II about 5-6 times. :)

    Look, I'm a Monster...

    As I said, they bumped gnomes from the PHB, and when their were complaints, their response was? A "humorous" video making fun of their move to "monster status". Same way when folks complained about not getting enough gnome mini's (kobolds outnumbered them... and DDM is faction balanced, so...

    Look, I'm a Monster...

    Nope, not fair at all. You see, Me saying I found the video to be "this way" and you saying you found the video to be "that way" is fair. You ascribing anything to WHY I feel how I do about the video is against board rules and not a valid form of arguement. I know plenty of people that would...

    Is there any way to set the month to something else for a user?

    Since Last Visit

    "Today's" post is okay, but if I leave for a few days it won't help. Thanks though. I'd become a member, but each time I think of it, something happens to turn me off.

    Since Last Visit

    On most sites, and on Old Enworld, when I'd come to the site it'd show the threads that had posts since my last visit. Now, NewENworld displays all the threads, only marking as read the threads I've actually read. How do I get it to the older style? Thanks.

    Sun Rods are awesome!

    That's just insane. The sun produces light way past 100'. These are obviously misnamed, maybe they meant "really bright light sticks" or something.

    Look, I'm a Monster...

    And yet, tiefling's were elevated to PHB status. I don't know that a fan would complain about a little gentle ribbing when they're on the ups. When they're on the low side after having their favorite race bumped, it's a bit different, don't you think? Gnome's aren't real. Gnome fans were...

    Look, I'm a Monster...

    Aside from this thread, there was also the wrong-link message I got when using my old "direct to the board" link when the site address change. It's not a clear statement, no, I'll grant you that.

    Diablo III

    You never played Gauntlet? Same idea. (I used to have Gauntlet for the Genesis that also let you build up a character.) It shouldn't be taken too seriously, IMO, and it's basically point and click with a plot. It's like a roleplaying game in that you build up your character with skills and...

    Look, I'm a Monster...

    There are many degree's of anger between "I'm fine with it" and "you just killed my family member". Interjecting your "free" stuff and idle complaints doesn't really apply either. It's simple, I've bought a LOT of D&D products through the decades, they made a choice I didn't like, and after...

    Mage RPG discussion (threadjack from 4e Character in a 3E World thread)

    So, what percentage comparatively of sales of the core book and perhaps the immediate guides (player, st) were there between the editions? Obviously no exact numbers will be forthcoming, but saying nWoD sold 20% more than 2nd edition oWoD shouldn't be hard. Again, that assumes the conclusion...

    Look, I'm a Monster...

    It was the same as back a while when folks were complaining about not getting enough gnome figures in DDM. So on April Fools, they had some garden gnomes, it was all a good laugh.... Except, like this video, it doesn't address gnome fans seriously, instead showing utter disregard for them...

    Mage RPG discussion (threadjack from 4e Character in a 3E World thread)

    You mean supplements I assume? I think this is the leap of logic that I never cared for in the arguement really. Plenty of people may have bought the core and been playing without regard for continuing to support the line. With the freeform magic, they may simply have had no need for the rest...

    [World of Warcrraft] Character build help

    Depends on what you mean by pirate, and what your expectations are. You can't even get a hat early on, so you'd be Random Dude with Parrot for a while...

    Guild Wars

    You're correct, you'd need the other game to play. You can also take a character from one to another at higher levels. Early leveling is fast, it slows a bit, but you'll hit level 20 midway through the plot. The game tops at 20. At higher levels you still have gear to max out, and of course...
