dungeon_tiles : D&D Dungeon Tile Maps (WotC) There is a utility there called Pymapper, which I use to build my encounters.

It's A direction. Not necessarily the only direction. I'm pretty sure we will see more Essentials-style classes as well as new experiments with class design and some more traditional 4e design.

I have to wonder if you have this same reaction to every edition of D&D (or most other RPGs, for that matter), since it's the standard. Want to play a thief in 2e? You've got Backstab as a class feature. Want to be a Toreador? You have Auspex, Celerity, and Presence as clan Disciplines.

It got errata'd to affect warlock powers only. Danny... Sacrifice can be good if you have the bad luck of missing with encounter powers often. The starlock in our game was able to save some of her bigger guns because of it. It has seen less use since the introduction of MM3 monsters and their...

1. Expensive? Nah. $60 can get me several books or products that will produce hundreds and thousands of hours of entertainment. That same $60 can get me an Xbox 360 game that may give me 100 hours, if it doesn't give my girlfriend motion sickness and force me to return it. 2. Obsolete? Hardly...

It's more than that. If the book grows by one page, that changes the page count. If I remember correctly, that means they'd need to add 3 more pages since it's done in multiples of 4. That means more changes to the book, which starts to add up. What began as the addition of errata has turned...

Easier said than done. A change can have a cascading effect on the layout. For example, the addition of the Hop Down action in Acrobatics could push the entire chapter to be one page larger than it was previous, which would require quite a bit more work for layout people.

To answer your actual question, yes. The Wish Upon A Star article is pure awesome. Great new fluff paired with some feats and powers that help Starlocks kick ass and take names. It's just a shame you have no interest in the Dragon PDFs, since you could get that info and tons more for less than...

It might be more than that, since August is having its updates split between the 6th and 20th, as well. I wonder if this will be a regular thing, or just indicative of multiple rounds of solid updates to the Adventure Tools.

It's pretty basic. A series of metal floors, gratings, control panels, and the like. Good for doing a futuristic building, spaceship, or station. And you could always mix it with the other tile sets in order to do planetary stuff. I've been using them to build my Final Fantasy I conversion of...

I'd say the last PC's suggestion is probably the most likely to be successful. Treating them like animals when they are intelligent beings will allow hate and rage against the party to fester. It's like kidnapping a 5-year-old child and raising them in a cage like an animal. I think that...

Digital River... gah. My account listed no order history, no subscription history, and no active subscription. I contacted them and they told me that according to their records, I did not have an active account (despite downloading updates and getting access to everything). Then my account...

Indeed. 25 issues of Dragon in the current archive, and 24 issues of Dungeon. $10 gets you all that, plus any of your friends that don't use a Mac can get AT and CB installed (and hopefully AT will get its update this Tuesday to the MM3 format/math). That is an incredible deal.

That's not metaplot, that's backstory. Metaplot is picking up PHB1 and Vecna is a living deity, then picking up PHB2 to find that Vecna has now been slain by a group of adventurers and is no longer a living deity. Or back in 3e Forgotten Realms, where they advanced the timeline (and thus...

Wasn't the Pristine Tower already known for changing and warping creatures into new monstrosities? It sounds to me like they took the properties of that, and made it a part of Athas itself.

...until it gets put into a book. It was planned to be an exclusive when they announced and released it, but no plan survives contact with the enemy. It looks like they're experimenting with format in the main line. Looking at ways to lower prices, perhaps. It's still early. We could get...

The genasi are a good fit for Dark Sun with the elemental themes. Watersoul could just be called Siltsoul, and aside from the lack of water to need to breathe in, all their other racial powers work just fine.

Off the top of my head, I'd rule that you break your ki focus in the scuffle, or you injure your hand/foot/head/knee/elbow/whatever so that you have to use the normal unarmed attack stats until you get a short or extended rest.

Please, cite a book and page number that says the eladrin use the Feywild to teleport with fey step. The preview books and preview articles with outdated information do not count. This keeps coming up as some kind of central point when there is no basis to it in normal 4e D&D, much less Dark Sun.

Nobilis. Spirit of the Century. Exalted 2e. Scion. Werewolf the Forsaken. Aberrant. Adventure. World of Synnibarr.
