Except that these are common terms these days, nor is grind being used in a form even remotely similar to its MMO context. Honestly, it seems like some people are actively looking for the WoW Bogeyman in every announcement like McCarthy looked for Reds. And on the matter of static combat, my...

Damn, that is some nice work. By the same token, Sam Wood seems to work better in B/W.

If you're talking about the term Tank, IME that predates WoW by quite a bit. I was hearing the term back when I started playing D&D in 2000.

I've asked it before and I'll ask it again: what is with the love for Erol Otis? I feel like I'm on crazy pills here! How can people complain about WAR's styling and in the same damn post, ask for work by a man who's art resembles the amateurish scrawlings of my single-digit aged cousins?

Given the damage the upjumped little bastard has done in his short reign, sounds perfectly justified to me

I am so going to run this scenario now. This is too good to pass up.

Bouncing lightning bolts strikes me as dumb. Has since I first saw them in Baldur's Gate, and seems to only get more absurd in my mind. Arcing lightning bolts that attempt to earth on metal etc? That I could handle, but not bouncing. Explosive fireballs with pressure so they fill a volume...

Therein lies the issue with it. What happens when you're doing a wilderness adventure, what constitutes 'grabbing the loot'. And things could easily turn into a XP farm when the party gets teleportation or other travel based magic. I don't want the party becoming bank robbers as a way of...

WHY?

I agree that the Age of Worms is awesome, I've been running it for a while now. There are a few brutally deadly adventures I've found so far, "The Hall of Harsh Reflections" ends with a killer encounter, as does "The Champions Belt" (that one killed half my party!). The real meat grinder so...

I see it, but I still think it looks more like Soul Edge than anything else

Heroes. And I resent you loading the question with the bolded part. That these people with enormous power HAVEN'T dealt with such issues that are within their capabilities is a failure on their part.

ARGHHHHHHHH! It's a copout for Superman and its a copout here. Doesn't having the capability to deal with something give you a moral responsibility to do so, rather than sitting back and saying "oh no, that's within the abilities of mortals to do old boy, so they can deal with it"? FRealms...

Priority one: Finish the Age of Worms. We're currently wrapping up "Prince of Redhand" so that's prolly a given Priority two: Run Spycraft 2.0. Probably a hypermodern military game. Priority three: Scion Then, and only then will at look at running 4E

If we're going to use existing artists as a reference point, then 3.X is where its at for me. Especially work by Tsai, Daarken, Ron Spencer, Todd Lockwood, Wayne Reynolds, Lucio Parillio, William O'Conner, Michael Komrack (his covers for WW's Scion line are droolworthy) and Dean Hudnut are all...

That's pretty much what I'm talking about: the Warblade, or something similar, being in the 4E PHB under the name of Fighter or Warrior or something similar. Although if its called warrior I fully expect people to complain about WoW influences... :p

I'm curious, what is archetypeless about a White Raven focused Warblade, when we consider his abilities? Or the tough-as-all-hell Stone Dragon specialist? Take the names away and you've got the charismatic front-line commander and the hard as nails Guts-like mercenary. I'll be doing a happy...

I'm picturing something similar to Diablo II where the sorceress' Orb class items were usually built into a scepter like device. Makes it easy to hold and stops the damn thing rolling away

Savage Worlds: Explorer's Edition Spycraft 2.0 Scion: Hero

You want more good melodeath? Two words for you then: Arch Enemy. Their early stuff with Johann Liiva on vocals is alright but the first album with Angela Gossow on vocals is probably their best to date, Wages of Sin. Anthems of Rebellion is alright, at best, IMO, and Doomsday Machine is...
