So, let me get this straight, they're streaming out parts of an entire electronic-only magazine bits at a time per month instead of having an entire magazine available on a certain day of the month like clockwork? Are you kidding me?

Quoted for Truth. Plus, I failed my will save versus hunger role. I think for me it's still too early to say whether or not 4th edition will be good based on what they've put out there. I also did like the comparison of spell slots, so to speak. Very interesting.

Here the $64,000 question: Will Wizards of the Coast's target audience, the 12-24 year old WoW online user consider buying Greyhawk with the suggestions you've put int? Mind you, think about some of your complaints: Tieflings and Dragonborn. They were put in precisely because Warcrafters tend...

Well, considering how much of the races are steeped into cardboard sterotyping, how could you not get away from the notion that good Tieflings are more or less Chaotic good to Chaotic Neutral and Devas are more or less Lawful Good? Even though CG and CN aren't in the alignment panorama, it's...

I'm getting an image of a female Deva looking at a demon and saying, "Oh, no you don't, hun," while pimping out in her latest Prada chainmail evening wear, with high-heel shoes that can dish out damage the equvalent of a punching dagger. (And maybe I'm sexists, but I'd like to see more female...

Good: Actually, I think the layout is actually really good. Color-coding which powers are for daily, encounter, and at-will. I also think the layout for the Monster Manual's stat block is pretty solid with a few quibles. Unlike previous editions, definitions for abilities, powers, and the...

He probably liked Earl Grey.

For about that's suppose to be an intro for a person who only knows about World of Warcraft-ish type of online games, the Forgotten Realms book is vastly empty. And having the subscription only online articles to give you more details about the past hundred years seems rather odd. It gives you...

We had a game that involved silly heroes that was part "Whose Line is it Anyway?" and part "The Tick" silliness. My hero was a child actor who had all of the properties of light, brightness, speed, etc. His archenemies were his twin sisters modeled after the Olsen twins. Because, well, they're...

Power Cards just sounds like something from a bad episode of Captain N: The Game Master. Crap, I think I just referenced an 90's cartoon I barely remember watching. I'll just go and pluck the gray hairs out of my eyebrows.

Interestingly, the Hasbro stock (which is more or less an indication of how people would bet on it to ride well, like in a horse race) is up 21.55% in the past year (as of July 29, 2008), and 54.38% in the Year to Date analysis. It hasn't done this well since, well, 1999. They also have a new...

I think it just seems so odd that you'll still get a slightly better deal for the books from Amazon than you would from RPGNOW's pdf price. ($23-ish versus $24). If I were putting a point price on 4th edition, I would have gone with a $20 target price, per "book". So no, I'm not going to get...

To me, what killed 3.5 wasn't the basic stuff, but were the supplements and their plethora of options. 4th edition will probably head towards that way, but having options for all of the classes. I mean we'll get a book with magical items, treasures, and possibly more spells in November...

I like how the powers don't have any Hit Dice limitations. So sleep at first level will be just as effective as it would be at 30th level. I do wish in general that some of the powers were actually rituals or had a ritual variant that would have more power. For example, the fly spell lasts only...

Oh my god. That is so hilarious. (So that's what they mean by the "Duck Bunny." EGG must have been on an ale high when he made that creature.) I think Mimics are underused. I had a DM use a very large mimic as a twist on the dreaded Gazebo concept. (I love the Raggamoffyn he rails against. I...

My problem with Dragonborn is that it feels too much like catfolk. Or dogfolk. If I wanted a part-animal part human, I'd go with lycanthropes. As for the tiefling, if they only had the asimars with them, then I'd be alright with them. Those two go together, like two peas in a pod. And that...

I had not thought about the RPGA, and maybe that's their saving grace. Listen, I know that the fan stuff may go bye-bye with DDI, and they may try to do everything they can to shut it down, but I suspect some people will go underground. I still think DDI has to show its products are better than...

There were two gaming shoppes in Columbia, MO when I first started into gaming in college. One had just moved to a new location underneath a Mexican restaurant, had ample space to host up to three small tournaments in a row, and immediately started doing customer cards where after so many...

I would use the Point of Light genre in cases where the party is out exploring and mapping out territory that has not yet been explored. For example, I have a campaign that basically was the D&D equivalent of Lewis and Clark. They went from the start of a mysterious river and map it out all the...

I had a little more problem with not having to make random rolls for hit point increase when your character leveled than not having a random table. (Although really, the DMG's suggested reward table that lists ten breakdowns kind of acts like a beginning random table generator.) One of the...
