Or something like the mock parchment illustrations made by Arnie Swekel for the original 3e books. Those were gorgious. I know I'm in a minority, but I don't like Wayne Reynold's style; and I find him overused.

The compendiums, maybe.

If you mean potbellied, stay-at-home hobbits like those of the Shire, then no because "that's not an adventurous race." If you mean halflings called hobbits rather than halflings, then no because the Tolkien Estate doesn't want.

Gnomes: Fey-like race with innate spellcasting abilities, can talk to animal, especially good with alchemy and illusion. Halfling: Street urchin-like race that is good with stealing, catburglaring, and also robbing, especially good with everything rogue. Only common point is that both are...

Tieflings will be ubersuperhyper powered so as to be so awesomely gigacool. Their hair will change color and their power level will go above 8000. It'll be an instant hit. Gnomes will be removed. They wanted to remove them in 3e, remember? Kept them only as a last minute change.

Never going to happen. WotC could publish "Complete Elf", "Complete Drow", "Complete Half-Elf", and "Complete Elf 2", each with 320 pages full color, and make a stupendous profit on each. A "Complete Gnome", on the other hand, would be bought by about twenty-three players worldwide, on a span...

Looking at the miniature database from Vesivus: Half-Elf: 3*. Gnome: 5. Half-Orc: 6*. Halfling: 16. Dwarf: 32. Elf: 44*. Human: 136. * Half-elves and half-orcs are counted along their parent race since it's sorted by subtype. This makes their count potentially wrong since I have only counted...

We've got something like four D&D 3 campaigns going. We haven't used the tenth of the material available in our D&D 3 sourcebooks. So, I'll stay with that. I don't want to convert a campaign to another system. If I use a new system, it'll be for a new campaign; and I'd prefer to conclude the...

I haven't bought anything new for a long time, and I have still a lot of sourcebooks I haven't even read... Don't see a need for me to get 4e. That said, it's not a knee-jerk "no, never!", just a "not interested" -- so maybe, eventually...

I thinks that's not a bad thing to do. I personally dislike the cross-class skill rules; and while I agree with the intent, I think it's needlessly complicated, especially for multiclassed characters. To simplify it a bit, I've removed the "half points" system -- there is still a cross-class...

Yeah, but still... When you watch 2001 and you hear dialogues such as "HAL, print me the punch card" (from memory), you can't help but be amused by these people who engineered interplanetary spaceships, Turing-passing artificial intelligence (with feelings, even), perfect voice synthesis and...

There can be a reason, when you're expecting a storm, to toss the anchor on the other side of the ship; so that it's tide on the port's side by the rope and on the sea side by the anchor. Prevents it from being tossed against the docks or the other ships. Also, it's possible that Lien sneakily...

I disagree with that. The Satyr wouldn't be interested in a sleeping mate. Where's the fun in that?

Without going into too much details, the "small bickering nations" stems simply from the fact that there were no lightning rails or stormships. The Roman Empire had a lot of trouble staying really united because of that -- if you had an emperor in Constantinople, he just wasn't going to be able...

As the long history of tribal warfare and interethnic slaughters in Africa, the Middle-East, Asia, and the America shows, it's purely an European propensity. :] Methinks you give humanity too much credit.

How to make a better City of Union? First, make it stranger. It's a planar city of epic magic. It shouldn't be a normal city. Have the city be sentient or something. No incarnation of that sentience (it would be too Lady of Pain-esque), just treat the whole thing as a creature. Second, when...

It's an approximate value for 5000 ÷ √10. In fact, an approximate value for 5000/3. Making the computations with more precise tools, I get 1 581.13883, so 1600. Not that it matters much.

Why would you do that? Aren't there nWoD forums and sites more appropriate than Gleemax for that? WotC can say what they want to say, Gleemax will be first and foremost for WotC games.

Or Canadian, heh? What do you say aboot that?

You know, similar provisions hold true for about everything. You make a mod for a computer game, and the game's publisher has the right to take it and republish it. You put out a d20 game, and Wizards has the right to copy it. The thing is that, ultimately, they won't. You know, the people in...
