I would say you missed the point--why would you expect to find a campaign sourcebook filled with maps, magic items, monsters, and encounters? We already have oodles of all those things. I'm really not sure what what make you expect those things. Particularly since we already have two more...

My experience with multiclassing is that it's not really multiclassing as conceived of in previous editions. That type of multiclassing doesn't really exist in 4e. It disappointed me three years ago when the game came out, but now it doesn't even seem necessary. Why would you need to be a...

Eh? The discussion was 15-minute adventuring days. Unless you're arguing that it's a regular occurence in most combats for one or more party members to lose all their HP, thus necessitating that they spend all their healing surges... then I'm not sure where you're going with any of this. In...

I guess in the instance that your melee striker has no Constitution and is constantly surrounding themselves with enemies, this COULD happen. But, what the heck were the other party members doing? If those monsters are ignoring the defender and controller, they should be getting tied up and...

I've never seen a group blow all their dailies and then decide to stop. Dailies are nice to have, but unless you are consistently engaged in encounters 4 levels higher than the party level, or suspect that you're about to engage in a very difficult fight, you don't really need them. If a group...

Yes yes, that is a more or less accurate timeline, but it leaves off an important detail--that Tolkien was creating the linguistic and mythological background that would someday be turned into the Silmarillion many years before the Hobbit was ever published. It's these linguistic and...

...Sure, of course not. Surprise Forum Maintenance is a Surprise, and Forum Maintenance is not. But wait, is that logical? Some Forum Maintenenace is a surprise. All Forum Maintenance is Forum Maintenance. All Surprise Forum Maintenance has to be Forum Maintenance then, right?

World-building is a pretty solipsistic activity. Most authors, and for that matter most DMs, are not really world-builders--not the kind that this guy is talking about. World-building is not just fleshing out a setting; that's a standard part of any kind of story-telling. World-building is...

I'm sure that WOTC is very sensitive to the important business needs of allowing people to complain about them and insult them on their message boards, but sometimes, even if you're not WOTC, you just have to do site maintenance.
