Killing the magazines in the first place was one of the things that produced gallons of bad blood. Returning them in some way without tying them to specific edition electronic tools (Morningstar) would go a long way towards making amends. A quarterly model would be OK with me, but I'm not sure...

I'm hoping for a resurrection of Dungeon and Dragon, once a month, in PDF format which can be printed on demand. Even though I'm not going to play 5E, I'd subscribe as long as there was edition-neutral content. Physical format would be better, but I think it's a pipe dream at this point.

Do monsters have actual higher-level slots to use, though?

Flameskulls are supposed to be made from skulls of spellcasters (or at least they used to be), so that makes some sense.

IDW has a long standing relationship with Hasbro so it's quite logical for them to be doing D&D comics. They have several current Tranformers comic series, with "More Than Meets the Eye" being arguably the most popular (with superb writing, great plot twists, and mostly excellent art).

I agree with the OP. Merely referencing spells in stat blocks are a bad idea, when I run a creature I want its stat block to be self-contained. I'd gladly lose a few monsters from the MM if it meant the ones that are there are easier to run (with at least capsule descriptions of all their...

Way, way too late for that. It has become core, whether you like it or not - just like many Greyhawk and FR tropes. You cannot "take something back out" of people's minds. Even if WotC were to completely erase all mention of demon-devil hatred from the 5E Monster Manual - people would STILL...

If you're using a balor who's not a demon or who associates with devils, then you're already not using a D&D balor, or else something else is wrong with the picture (the devils are charmed/dominated/geased?). That's an assumption that most players who know what a balor is would make, and that's...

It would have never occurred to me to look for the bonus in the Classes document, thanks! Still can't find it in How to Play and I've checked five times, but no matter.

Can someone tell me which document lists the actual proficiency bonus? I can't seem to find it.

FR has a non-magical herb called spellbane which inhibits spellcasting: http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Spellbane

In my own d20 revision, I switched the cure spells to short range instead of touch, and they require a simple (move) action (rather than a standard action) to cast. This grants the cleric more flexibility, since he can do other stuff in the same round and heal, and doesn't have to behave like a...

Yes. The spells appear in the spellbook immediately after you gain the level.

What is this, a remake of the 1986 movie?

And with this, Next has jumped the shark. Prestige classes were one aspect of 3.x that should have stayed buried under several tons of concrete. Whatever the intended implementation, prestige classes will get out of control soon after release.

Saw it again tonight (just not in 3D). The introductory part (first hour or so) seemed much longer than on the first viewing. My friends who saw it with me (and fans of Tolkien's work in general) did not like it very much, they sad it was too long, with too many pointless scenes, and that...

Same here.

The only scene I felt was completely out of place was the Old Bilbo/Frodo one (before the party). It felt forced, and while I understand Jackson used it to connect LOTR to the Hobbit, I think there were other ways to accomplish that. The White Council meeting in Rivendell was alright, but its...

I am a bit confused about the last part - how come you are running the campaign and playing the orc PC?

Inquisitors would be even better, what with the massive bonuses to Sense Motive and an array of truth-revealing spells.
