It wasn't retconned. It just isn't in effect anymore (except in a few places).

Perhaps they just wanted to put something out there to ease into the new year. I agree that the questions and the way they are presented seems a bit unprofessional, but perhaps the goal isn't so much to get useful answers that they can base revisions on, but rather to get a feel for how many...

I am using Photoshop.

Yeah, the 4e maps aren't impressive, to say the least. I have done a quick sketch of how I imagine the layout of Leilon before the Spellplague, based on the info from your excellent blog scrivener. Let me know if there is anything that doesn't add up or that I have forgotten.

I am interested in Leilon too. I have just finished running my group through LMoP and while their next session is a trip to Triboar, to get support for a joint effort at securing the Triboar Trail, I expect them to seek out Leilon at some point. Doing research on it, I had a bit of trouble...

I am about as likely to include or exclude something from my game that is marked optional, as I am something that is not. I have removed races and classes I didn't like for various reasons, but include feats (I am still not quite sure about multiclassing). I do agree that it is important to...

That is how I read the spell as well.

I kept forgetting to hand it out too, so I have given the job to the players. each session they have one inspiration each to give to one of their fellow players, for good roleplaying or general awesomeness. That has worked out quite well so far.

When falling/diving into water, I would say the first 20 feet are "free" (no damage) and do the regular 1d6 per 10 feet if falling further (1d6 at 30 feet, 2d6 at 40 feet, etc). You could say that a successful athletic check (DC 10) adds 20 feet before damage is taken (due to the creature making...

I went with standard array in our newest campaign because I wanted people to be able to make characters without me present and having to explain how they rolled three 18s without witnesses. I have no problem with point buy either though. Rolling is fun, but it seems to end up very advanced...

I haven't read a DMG in 15 years, so to me, most of the content of the new DMG seemed very new and helpful. Yes, there's stuff I will never use, but that is true for any rulebook with as diverse an audience as D&D. Maybe I should check out the 13th Age books if they are so highly regarded. You...

Yeah, I prefer reading stuff in its original language as well. Then nothing is lost in translation. I believe D&D Basic (the red box from the eighties) was translated, but AFAIK that is the only version of Dungeons & Dragons translated to Danish. Also the Swedish game Drager & Dæmoner (a D&D...

Yes, Danish is my native language and it does get a bit tricky sometimes. We play in Danish, but use the English terms for anything game mechanics related (armor class, hit points, fighter, etc.) as well as names (Waterdeep, Identify spell, etc). Our biggest issue is probably measurements. I...

Many of the suggestions here seems overly complicated. Lets take the invisible wizard Sadrik mentioned above. The PCs are facing a group of bandits with the PC wizard already invisible. They have agreed beforehand, that the wizard attacking is the signal to engage. While the rest are...

Every time I see a rpg term translated to Danish I cringe, so I am very happy with living in a country too small to ever get a translated version :-)

Yep, that's the one. The guy who came to 2 gp/day made an error (which he corrected himself later in the thread). It is actually 20 gp/day. 3000 gp / 30 days = 100 gp or 20 gp per day per party member for a party of five. The prospectors around Phandalin are noted in the adventure, to be mining...

A guy over at the WotC forum calculated it to 3000 gp per month, from numbers he basically pulled out of the air, but which sounded impressive :-) Personally I will give the party 1,000 gp per month after a year (the first year all profits will go to getting the mine up and running). I think...

There are a lot of existing settings, most of them with a lot of dedicated fans, that cover a lot of different styles, so I actually hope, that they will stick to those, rather than create a new one (at least for the foreseeable future).

In my campaign I have a half-orc barbarian who whips out her bag-pipe at inopportune moments. That is kind of the same...
