Classes in 4e? Hopefully for me it's none because the more and more I experiment with 3.5 classes, the more I see the inherent flaws and limitations of a class-based system. I realize that classes is one of the main sacred cows of D&D but I really think a skill and power based system along the...

The magitech, steam punk, airship, floating islands/cities, plane-hopping, "pulp" settings do seem to be all the rage these days. It boils down to a matter of taste. Now I'll admit that I've used these very same themes in my campaign setting, but I tend to give it a slight twist. My main problem...

I'd be interested in reading over the entries in the original myself, too. WAR and Todd are among my fave D&D artists, and this sounds like a great contest. Any links to the entry thread?

Funny you should mention this. I was entertaining thoughts of playing a non-psionic Jedi-esque character. Level 12, gestalt rules: Bard 10/Sublime Chord 2 + Swashbuckler 7/Occult Slayer 5 (the PrCs wouldn't overlap with that build since you can't combine 2 PrCs under gestalt rules, or take...
