Well, yes and no. I don't mean to sound callous. That was, sincerely, a terrible thing, and must have been a huge blow to those working with him. However, as I said in this thread...

That's fair. It's not 4e's failed VTT. It's not the move to the crappy online Char Builder from the functional one. It's not their lack of digital products at release (advertised as current in PHBS). It's not "there will be no 4e for several years." Oops. It's not Gleemax. It's not the death...

Oh, and they need to get movin on this page: Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Tools (The link to the VTT page mentions nothing about cancellation). Also, funnily enough, you can "check out" dungeon and dragon "magazine"... downloading a "sample" issue from 2008...

WOW. Just....wow. :confused::erm: I think I might be out on 5e at this point. I can trust the game, but not the company. I sincerely hope that 4e is retrocloned and all 4e players get great new free character builders (already been done better than WotC), VTTS (maptool, better...

Read the article, but not this thread. Just want to say to WotC that I'm loving what they're doing with magic items!

Notes: A summoned cacodaemon can, once per day, create a soulgem from a recently slain creature, which can be eaten by an outsider to damn the soul and gain fast healing 2 with a duration dependant on the power of the soul. An astrodaemon's soul siphon stacks with itself (so a half fiend on a...

Two things... 1. Looks like a brief delay on book 4 to mid July, according to the author on the Paizo forums. 2. I've created a variant template for half fiend...the half-daemon. It's here:http://www.enworld.org/forum/pathfinder-rpg-discussion/326040-half-daemon-template.html I plan to use it...

Since not all fiends are created equal, I thought I'd take a stab at modifying the half fiend template to a half daemon template. All abilities are as per half fiend template, except where noted. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/half-fiend Creating a Half-Daemon...

You could go: Sling: str to hit and dam Bow: dex to hit, str to dam Xbow: dex to hit and dam

As someone who favors 3e but plays and enjoys 4e, I support the message of the OP, but it's not enough. Looked at only as "they need to focus on these also" for4e players, I agree. 5e also needs to do other things (cast resurrection on sacred cows) killed in 4e for one. While this isn't the...

I think you need to distinguish the difference between players and characters. I'd talk to the player and work it out. If that doesn't work, I'd either just skip his turn repeatedly or boot him from the group. You could always kick the player, but keep the character in some way (an npc...

Darwinism? By that, I mean that there have been hundreds, even thousands of villians over the course of D&D. We remember the best. I think this is the same phenomenon as "music today is crap" "movies today are crap" "[insert just about anything here] today is crap." There was a lot of...

I'm with ya, KM. I didn't like 4e until @pemerton taught me this way of addressing it (FitM). Even still, I'm not necessarily a huge fan of the practice...but I can enjoy the edition now. I think, if a game is going to use FitM, then it needs to be upfront about it. There's nothing wrong or...

I'm going to nominate (spoilers below):

While I'm no insider, gdmcbride posted this on Paizo's forums on June 22: http://paizo.com/products/btpy8shj/discuss&page=last?Way-of-the-Wicked-Book-Three-Tears-of-the-Blessed#tabs

I don't think you'd need to keep it up for long...even if you just submitted what you have here, it could possibly go into the magazine Kobold Quarterly, or onto the website (it's a very active website, with gaming stuff almost daily). Wolfgang's very kind and approachable, btw.

I read your post, and found myself nodding my head. However, I have a different lesson that I take home from it. What if "healer" was more of a "tiny bonus in healing" rather than a larger "entire class is based around the phenomenon"? It seems you're saying 4e worked well with no...

Wow, I'd xp you again if I could. Interesting, fun, and well written. Maybe submit the idea, stats, art, and story to Kobold Quarterly? I'd bet money that Wolfgang would be into this. Kobold Quarterly AND he's fond of kobolds...as you might have guessed.

This sounds like an admission that a single game can't be all things to all people...unless it's actually (in some way) different games. I think that's what 5e is trying to do with the modular approach. Two groups playing 5e with different modules might essentially be playing different games...

Yep, I agree, I'm stealing some from 4e here...in true 5e fashion, as I liked some of what 4e brought to healing, but hated some of it as well. So I'm trying to combine what I liked (lack of reliance on a cleric or specified "healer") but remove what I didn't (overall healing being less...
