D&D has bears for the same reasons it has dogs, gnolls, goblins, drow, mind flayers, dwarves, dragons and demons: They're included if you want to use them. And like everything else, there's nothing that says you must include anything if it doesn't fit in your world.

- Since we're being hypothetical... Mr. Rouse, As you requested, here are the eight titles I will be putting out this year. The first four supplements I'd like to present to you are actually the beginning of a new line of supplemental booklets called, Campaign Components. This series is...

Having authored something like this years ago, I was intrigued when I read the title of the thread. I'm always interested in reading someone else's take on the alignment debate, especially when it is well-written. I found this post was not only that, but also well-organized and presented...

I must recommend A Dark and Stormy Knight from the WotC website. It's a great starting point that introduces the characters to each other in a unique way, and it fits extremely well with the setting for Red Hand of Doom. Plus, it's free. Scourge of the Howling Horde is also well suited for...

Just wanted to weigh in on this discussion... There are some valid points on both sides of this debate. I won't rehash them all since they've already been presented numerous times before. But the simple fact remains: "Below average hit points hurt a PC more than above average hit points help"...

That is music to my ears, friend! :D I've had others tell me the opposite, saying it's almost too good. Your statements validate this to be more opinion than fact, which means that most people will decide for themselves if it's worth taking for their characters. From where I'm sitting, this...

Last Call! I've made some revisions since the first post based on a lot of my own decisions, as well as a few critiques from other message boards that actually responded to my post. I've always thought that the EN community was a little better than the rest, but I didn't expect to have to goad...

This is a work in progress, so expect things to change as it is needed and critiqued. I am writing this for a campaign using the Savage Tide Adventure Path out of Dungeon magazine. Characters are using the 32-point buy method and are expected to run the entire length of the campaign. This...

Wow. Ok, I haven't had an idea appeal to me so strongly as this one has in a long, long time. I feel like grabbing it up and running away with it! :] But I think I'll just post something, instead. This simple idea has the all the potential to become something completely and uniquely different...

Ah, guess that would be nice of me... ;) Part I and Part II.

To me, this book not only enhances the Core Rules of DnD on it's own, but it makes it more complete than any other book released to date. You can nitpick about item costs and conversions all day long, if that's your thing. But you cannot argue the three greatest contributions to the core game...

A few interesting points presented here... Indeed. But it is understood that the mechanics of the Core Rules represent the simplest system of arbitration for combat. Therefore, any deviations to this system are most likely expanding the base model and thereby increasing the complexity at the...

What about variant combos? I've seen this topic come up a number of times, and I have tinkered with the idea every now and again. I was just curious, since I've yet to come across this is any other related thread on any board, but has anyone considered how this variant might work with any other...

And it just so happens that I have been focusing a lot of my recent efforts towards developing this very aspect for my game world. Currently, it is still in various stages of notes and scribbles as I attempt to gel everything into something more cohesive and tangible. Perhaps an attempt to piece...
