It's also intimate in terms of how much gamers squawk their displeasure at the slightest suggestion of a rule, fact, descriptive sentence or even misplaced punctuation mark that might fall outside their personal vision. So to put forth the notion that "intimacy" = "right to advance knowledge" is...

I agree that it looks GOOD as a probable condition. However, this means that WotC will have to pay someone to do regular updates. Or change their system to allow more "automatic" updates once books are created.

I don't have a problem with Wizards restricting their information. Heck it beats the near radio-silence of the pre-Internet days when we waited for every months Dragon and the latest "official" pronouncements. However, I do think that the information flow could be more transparent and could give...

Both. Definitely both. It makes prep so much easier.

This is something that many of us would like. To what degree of annotation though? If the document were hyperlinked or had Comments in it (as in Word) that would be one thing, but if it's paper, the question is which rules and how many?

Piccini Chianti, retailing at about $6.99-$7.99 a bottle, for a vin ordinaire or vino di tavolo Rex Goliath, 48 Pound Rooster - used to be $7.99 a bottle and has shot up by $1-2 ever since folks found it tasty. Trumpeter Malbec from Chile, umm $8.99? Monte Campo Montepulcian D'Abruzzo, going...

Stop looking for validation on the internet. Unless you agree with me! :D

That's it. "You durn kids. When I was your age, we walked to our D&D game. Uphill both ways! In the snow. While drawing our maps in pencil. Pencil I tell you! Our own maps. None of these fancy digital downloads while you stay warm in front of your computer. We had an abacus." ;)

I believe that it even has a sequel, and they came out with a Pulp or Detective version at one point. The latter may be out of print.

It was both, but it wasn't aimed at any one person. Honestly, the thread is rife with veiled sexist references. Those have tapered off and now it's Extreme Style Deconstruction (premiere next week on The English Speaking World Channel!) ;) Everyone seems so jumpy about it. Why can't those who...

I think it's about time for some of you folks to go watch Fear of Girls again. Eesh. ;)

There's an American English version Once Upon a Time. We found it fun, though being gamers managed to turn it into "combat storytelling" and had to create houserules like "no deserts".

Cool. I must be on ignore. :cool: Never been there before.

RUnning cool RPG games for my friends.

Yes you do and I'm not here to stop you. My preferred style (which I frequently fail to observe) is "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." :cool:

I think Eric's point #2 is spot on.

Does it feel rushed? Yeah. Did anyone over there hurry the announcement? We probably won't know until two years after* someone leaves or there's another "reduction in force". *Guessing, just guessing on the NDA expiration dates.

I think you have a point about intent. Now, let's see about the execution! :)

Amazing. Someone writes an article about playing D&D and because there's something about the style not to everyone's taste, there's mockery.

I have constantly tinkered with rules in my DMing career. That said, I think the advent of 4E has changed the emphasis from "working inside the box" to "working outside the box", at least a little.
