This seems strange to me as well, but I understand them not doing solely server-side services to get better graphics. I think it is kind of dumb, but every time I hear people ooh and ah over pretty non-game interfaces I remember that I seem to be of the minority opinion. It is strangely...

What if all characters could be useful in all situations? I'm sure there will still be some variance, but making all characters at least mostly useful in every situation seems like it would make the game more fun.

Also, I am sure they will be continuosly updating, rather than waiting until the very end to make all of the changes.

Increasing the amount they can handle would mean buying more bandwidth and, more importantly, buying and setting up servers. If they contract out their server needs, the people they contract with still have to set up more servers for them. Setting up servers takes time.

:p Service Unavailable :p edit: at least we are in this together. I get the same problem at www.wizards.com Arg! Now ENWorld has died too! The world really is ending!!! RUN FOR YOU LIVES!!! Not that you can hear me...

:heh: I accidentally voted for what I thought would leave (Paladin and Sorcerer). I feel silly. I got it right in the race thread, which is how I realized I did this one wrong.

How about the previous sentance! 'While there are changes in play (such as incorporating "epic-level play," with 30 levels instead of 20), they are described as "evolutionary" rather than "revolutionary."' ! That is cool. Excitement++.

According to Mark Rosewater (head of Magic design), posting rumors, even fake ones, will get you fired from Wizards. I'd say this qualifies. It would be too big of a hit to their trustworthiness. (sp?)

An internet search suggests that Der Infinite is not actually German. I'm not sure where it came from originally. Regardless, it is still confusing to me :p

On a barely related note, in M:tG slang, DI means infinite (from Der Infinite*). This makes reading about the Digital Initiative very confusing for me, because the first translation my brain offers is the Magic one. I now return you to your regul4rly scheduled thre4d. *This is probably...

How hard would it be to run MCWoD like a normal WoD game? What (if any) rules interfere with that kind of play? Not that I play WoD. But I am curious.

Saying that drug use is vile and evil is not condoning a drug lifestyle.

Yes, on the off chance that someone wants to go into a Llorwyn prerelease without knowing anything about it whatsoever. I was considering doing that a while ago, and anyone doing so would assume ENWorld is a safe place to avoid spoilers. I doubt it is actually relevant, but I felt it better to...

The announcement is almost certainly about M:tG, and is almost certainly Which is hopefully awesome, and probably something 90%+ of ENWorld doesn't care about.

Maybe Llorwyn will be a setting for both M:tG and D&D? I doubt it, but that seem more reasonable than WotC being sold. As an interesting note to add to speculation, I wasn't aware there is going to be a big general Wizards thing this Thursday, but I did know that there will be a big Magic...

Nope, I can't. I'd be more afraid of prestige class abilites or feats that use swift actions than I would of spells. You could just blanket-allow trading standard actions for swift actions and ban things on a case-by-case basis. The players help you find the bugs (if any), and they get to...

In the new Star Wars RPG, either a standard or a move action can be converted into a swift action. However, as the swift-action abilities in D&D were not designed with this in mind, I'd be wary of allowing this in D&D. Swapping standard actions for swift actions is probably fine for 95% of...

I subscribed to the War of the Burning Sky. I'll renew my CSA soon.

The neck is creepy-small. I vote nay.
