Dead Gods and A Paladin in Hell

In the long run they will get you too! Mwahaahaaa :]

(c) a Gnodron, new Monster from MM1. It killed the Mdorona nd Gnome and took its Stuff :D

It is indeed. My point was that I think most DMs will use more Frost Giants than Rocs. Yes indeed, see my sig! But again I think it is more likely, that in the first year of 4th you will rather throw Frost Giants at your players than the Demon Prince of the Undead. I said it before and say...

Well, Roc is simply an overlarge eagle. Slap a few HD on the eagle and voila, the Roc is there. We don't need this monster either according to you. Orcus is just a powerful Balor. Give him some Ram horns and a potbelly and a magic cudgel. Slap on some Hit Dice and special abilities and there he...

Clark, lets play out the worst case scenario (which I hope will not happen): WoC is very late with the SRD and all the OGL and other legal stuff. Necromancer, Paizo and other companies (?) go 3.75. How long would you support it? I mean it would be only logical to switch as fast as possible to...

Well, i think it is plain ridiculous to have the Roc and Orcus in the MM1 but not the Frost Giant. I mean, how often did you fight a Roc and how often do you fight Orcus compared to Frost Giants? Frost Giant, one of the classic Monsters is out. But the Briar Witch is in. Huh? This has nothing to...

What, you have the 4th MMs stored in your...? I can imagine it must be unconfortable sitting down with at least 12 MMs in your special stoarge area :p

I do not need new crunch to make the fluff exiting. Sense of wonder for me is derived from new and original ideas. Are Orcs boring you? Well then redefine them. Give them some new abilities. Make them neutral or good or whatever. You can do that with 3x. Don't get me wrong, I am still positive...

Have a look at the Wikipedia entry for the Warhammer Setting

In Warhammer you have Dark spots even in the points of light! :]

For us Euro-Zone Europeans the EUR-USD exchange rate makes it relatively cheap. Though living in Ireland, I ordered my copy from amazon.com and got it, including shipping costs, for about 40 EUR. That is a VERY good price.

So no more Gold Pieces but Monkeys instead? Boy, bags of Holding and Peanuts will become the standard items in 4th.

Hi Mustrum, do you know the german RPG "Midgard das Fantasy Rollenspiel"? If I look for a brillant skill system, I look at Midgard. S.T. Cooley Publishing tried something similiar with "Buy the Numbers"

Ok, to make it clearer. In D&D, if you do not have the climb skill you have a hard time climbing even if you are a healthy strong PC and get Ability bonuses. So you are strong and healthy and can not climb this Tree because you have no skill ranks. This is even more ridiculous for a Str. 10...

There are two big in the skill system. If they would get rid of these, most issues would be fixed. 1) No/ not enough base knowledge. Sure you can use skills untrained but the only bonus you get is your ability bonus. That is not enough. If you get a base knowledge (say 5 ranks or so) in your...

You can see the great wheel as an idea of how the planes are supposed to be connected and the world is ordered. The nedless homebrew cosmologies and the new 4th ed. cosmology is another idea of how the planes are ordered. That is all Fluff and can be changed or modified. Maybe the paladin...

Oh well, I have fond memories of DMing a Dwarven Paladin, Troll Knight and I think an Elven Warlock back in 86. Yeah, they were Munchkins to the core, but it was fun nonetheless. Nobody wanted to play a Troglodyte. I bought the 2nd Edition in 97 but was not impressed at all.

Damn, every time I think I can flame WoC they post and qualify previous Blogs so that I cannot flame anymore. ;)

Let me take Monte Cooks Arcana Evolved as an example. AE is a D20 game and uses a lot of the D&D mechanics. AE has some slightly modified skills, a lot of different Feats and a similiar but slightly different magic system. AE has no alignemnts. AE has all new Core Classes. These Core Classes fit...
