    4E Gods - Where's the crunch?

    I don't know if this is the right thread but it seems to fit here. Has anyone with a home brew world made up new feats for their deities or just copy and paste. I'm thinking of doing the former, but there is very little guidance on how to do this.

    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    For me it's because I don't see them having a broad role, and since I'm using an established game-world that included all of the 3.x core, new core races mean too much ret-conning or trashing my world and creating a new one. Some of us enjoy our worlds and enjoy having the races we've had since...

    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    Well, there's no accounting for taste. ;)

    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    No, it makes my Drizz't-sense go off, and I start getting stabby at the game table.

    Forked Thread: Its the terminology that kills me...

    Really? I've never heard these kinds of terms until I played WoW and I've been playing D&D since 1980. I'm more story focused and I try to keep meta-gaming as far away from the actual game as I can, but if others do it I can see the use of it.

    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    I'm not sure we can take a ENWorld poll as quite scientific though. I'm sure the poll could easily be different on different sites.

    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    I was just looking through some old video games last night and discovered my Planescape:Torment discs and it came to me. I really think that my dislike of the Tieflings is more tied to their current look and back story than the race itself. If they presented a Tiefling like my beloved Annah...

    Snippets of Elven

    Since I hear it all the time in LOTRO, I'm keeping Mae Govonan (sp?) as the Elvish phrase for hello. In fact, if you like Sindarin, there is a lot of it voice recorded in that game.

    Eladrin Cities...

    I actually should have said the Tuatha de Danaan, or the Irish and old English version of the Fae. Dagda was actually their leader. They were actually one of the main sources for Tolkien's elves. The glamours I'm talking about like the legend that the Lake where Excalibur was hidden was...

    Eladrin Cities...

    I don't see how they can't teleport out of an encounter if they can in an encounter, but on to your point. I imagine Eladrin cities as akin to the Dagda of legend. They are both well-hidden and expansive, with delicate towers and bridgeworks hidden by glamours. The areas where other races...

    Well, they had extra d20 stickers and needed to find something to do with them...

    Why'd they change the Lamia?

    I agree it's an interesting concept, but it's not a lamia. Even if you follow the mythological trend it's not a lamia. This is one of the changes that still irks me toward the new edition. This, the succubus/eriynes, the dryad; they are changes for the sake of change. I can't follow any...

    Critical Hits Report: Mearls on 4E

    I'm a board game nut, and I've wondered this a long time: why are Germans so dang good at making board games? So many of the best games I've played have been German. Heck, I even look for the German Game of the Year award on a game, I forget the actual name as German is not my main or best...

    WotC Web Forums down all the time!

    I believe they have a randomizer that decides when they are up. Every hour, it is consulted, and on an instance of "1" out of "20", they boot the servers, otherwise they stay down. At least that is how I imagine it works.

    Look, I'm a Monster...

    Not since I got my chainmail coif but that's another story altogether. I don't like this video mostly because I don't like the changes to the races. If a more whimsical gnome and Annah from PS:T were the stars I think I'd have enjoyed it more. MMM Annah from PS:T. That's a Tiefling!

    Newspeak for ENWorld

    I know I'm not a celebrity here but I think I've made clear my concerns regarding the editions, but I found this quite amusing. I thought it was pretty well rounded in its pokes. But then again I think this thread might be badwrongfunny, or is it badhongfunny... ;)

    Old Adventures You're Thinking of Converting?

    Oh my! That is one of my favorite Dungeon adventures. If you do this, please let me see your work. I don't have my mags in front of me, but with the new focus on Orcus there was a fun adventure with a castle in a swamp that featured him. That might be an idea.

    You know 4th edition has succeeded when...

    1) I've never done this. Heck I've never even used a computer for more than writing out the background documents. What parts needed a spreadsheet, if I may ask? 2) I've never stopped since '80. I play rarely and have always enjoyed it no matter the edition. I'd like to play 4E, but am...

    You know 4th edition has succeeded when...

    I never took that long with 3.5, but like I said I think I was unconsciously just excising the parts that struck others so badly. I've DMed since '80, very rarely play, and don't see much difference in how it's done. Of course I enjoy the story and interaction more than combat and such. I'm...

    You know 4th edition has succeeded when...

    I'm going to admit something dark. Something so vile I haven't admitted it in many years. I LIKED the Buck Rogers stuff from TSR. Ok, now that we've got that festering sore on my soul out I can go on with my life. :)
