As a 13yr old the dungeon thing was it...go into the dungeon, kill things, get treasure, power up...rinse repeat. As a 37yr old I would actually rather watch paint dry than play that way any longer. At 37yrs old I am an much better game master than I ever was as a younger person, not because I...

Same here. I have gamed with many, many folks over the last 25yrs and the 15min. adventuring day was never a problem. I have even asked my players about this issue and all I got was blank stares as if they never considered it a problem. However, having said that, I don't run combat centered...

Daaaaaammmmmnnnnn! :eek: I am so interested in that setting, but 4e is not my playstyle at all. Played it, don't want anything at all to do with it. I own your 3.5e materials. Violet Dawn is a strong non-traditional setting like Athas and has a lot of potential. Shame I won't be able to use...

I'm of the philosophy that the rules are there to support my setting, story and game and not the other way around. What the designers include as a rule is designed for the broadest common denominator of game which is, more often than not, not the kind of game I run. I am not a dungeon crawl...

Harn was so ahead of its time. When I was first exposed to Harn I was about 16yrs old. I was running a Dragonlance campaign at the time and thought Harn was boring. Boy was I wrong. The fact is that it is a deep, deep world. My young mind thought flash meant quality. That FR and DL were...

The whole issue of a supposed glut is something I cannot get concerned about because as far as I know I have never seen a 3pp hold a gun to anyone's head and force a purchase. If you don't want it, don't buy it. The market will shake out the wheat from the chaff. 3pp who create good products...

What is really amusing is that you seem to be implying that 3pps owe WoTC something giving them the opportunity to sign onto a restrictive license that could cause them to lose ultimate contro of their IP if WoTC decided to dramatically change or revoke the GSL. The OGL was conceived by Dancy...

You would ;) "Oh no it isn't a turkey vulture, its a wyvern...draw your steel.":confused: But in all seriousness. This debate is one of aesthetics as well as what one will accept in regards to believable fantasy. Its a debate that neither can win. I know I'm right and you believe you...

Yeah, I do imagine that dragons are likely warm blooded or at least in some state between warm and cold blooded like paleantologists believe that dinosaurs may have been. Hussar, you know damn well that D&D dragons certainly do not nurse their young. They don't have breasts and their young are...

I didn't say they aren't reptiles, I clearly said that we aren't using DNA structure and whatnot to determine the nature of fantasy creatures and fantasy tropes pretty much rely on sight identification in regards to what a race is. I never said they look kina like reptiles but aren't reptiles...

I'm not saying that they are monotremes...if you are reading what my argument is...you can see I am against the idea of them being monotremes and never said the article made any such ridiculous claims. I am against the idea of rationalizing the breasts on dragonborn by suddenly calling them...

Nah, I think what would be more fair would be to give them great big humanoid schwantzes. Hey, it would give the female dragonborn something to look at. Heck, they aren't reptiles..they are monotremes and anything goes. ;) Wyrmshadows

That would make sense and a good workaround that would allow the art to make some sense. Wyrmshadows

Hussar, I said that dragons are reptilian to which you responded: Tell me that you can't tell by sight alone whether or not these creatures are reptilian within the context of the fantasy tropes we accept for the genre. Are these reptiles? Should any of these creatures have breasts added to...

What is silly to me is that folks are defending and rationalizing dragonboobs: "Don't think to hard about fantasy." "Their monotremes so they can have boobs." "Dragons aren't reptiles so therefore dragonborn can have boobs." ...and on and on and on. Its all nonsense on its face...

Now, now....be fair. I am perhaps the biggest, nit-picky, versimilitude nut on this board and I have to say that it isn't the foreign sound of the names that throws me, its the lack of aesthetic sensibilities that allow the words to trip easily off the tongue despite their non-english nature...

Scribble, the problem is that the GSL is designed to help kill off the OGL by not allowing 3pps to go back. Killing off the OGL is a :):):):):):) thing for fans who have been loyal WoTC customers and still love 3.5/OGL games and an unforunate position to put 3pps into. There isn't one 3pp who...

I'm not a game designer, I can create monsters, classes, and whatnot but I'm not a system designer. My strength is in writing internally consistant...and I think... very good "fluff" that conveys solid thematic elements and the setting "personality" through the writing. The truth is that folks...

That would be fine if it was perpetual and irrevocable as the is the OGL. As it stands now, WoTC can revoke the GSL at any time or alter it greatly causing chaos for any business relying upon it. It isn't about being spoiled, it is about users of the GSL being at the mercy of another entity in...

I am speaking of 3pp publishing on this thread and you know that. This isn't about fan sites and I would prefer this thread not be derailed onto that topic. Wyrmshadows
