No problem! Also, if you do decide to extend, the option is under "My Order History." I had to read the FAQ to find that out. There must be some unwritten rule at WotC to make things unintuitive. http://wizards.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wizards.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1835

I have the same subscription you do. Here's the deal. Your existing subscription is still good and still expires in November '09. It's already paid for, so the new prices won't have any effect until your subscription expires. Right now you can extend your subscription until November '10 for $59...

How can you tell the difference between the two? It's never moral from the non-paying downloader's perspective. From the company's perspective, they can never say "oh it's free" because they want to get paid for it. Nor can they condone piracy ever for the same reason. But sometimes it's in...

Nah. First of all, WotC is doing a pretty good job. This PDF thing only affects a few people. The game is much bigger than that. 2nd, If WotC does screw up, there's always someone eager to take their place. I haven't seen anything as good as 4e mechanic wise, but the basic mechanics are known...

These poll options suck. Where's the one that says "It doesn't affect me. If I want a PDF I know where to find it."

5) They want people to buy physical books. For those that want a legit PDF version, they have the option to buy the physical book, then download the PDF version of it off the Interwebz. It's basically win/win. WotC gets the larger sales volumes for their hardbacks, which look good statistics...

The only thing worse than everybody wanting your product for free is nobody wanting your product for free. The ease of access for pirated d&d material is basically free marketing. Some will download it and never look at it again. We don't care much about this group anyway because at best...

The problem obviously isn't too much healing because healing surges take care of that. The problem, as others have pointed out, is the party taking extended rests too often. This problem isn't unique to too much healing. Too little healing can produce the same result. Basically any party not...

Forked from: Why the World Exists [GM-less Gaming] Is there anyone else out there that would like to see an adventure like this? Or is it just me?

I find the combat engine in 4e is quite good overall. It's not as simple as some say it is. We're always looking up rules for one thing or another. But it is relatively solid and balanced. I don't see how a character has fewer meaningful choices in 4e relative to other editions. In fact...

Very interesting post. I think your version of GM-less gaming would appeal best to those gamers who like world building. As for myself, I'm an explorer. I don't really care for building worlds, but I like exploring them and heroically killing things that need killing. My version of GM-less...

This. Hiding after an attack is infinitely more useful than staying hidden without attacking. Well, maybe if this were a solo game and I were trying to sneak into the castle to steal something, staying hidden would be more useful. But our group plays a group combat game where if you're not...

Opportunity Attacks. If a creature moves away from an adjacent enemy etc... A good fighter will be good at OAs and prevent enemies from running past. But a fighter that can't hit can't stop those enemies from running past.

I don't think a BRV build's main problem is that it's "overpowered" in the traditional sense. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But either way, that's not why it's a bad idea. I like to think of it as "differently powered." It lacks a certain stickiness and trades offense for defense. The problem...

I've tried a battlerager in one session. So far, I feel like I miss too much. This is a combination of dwarf not getting str bonus and only getting 16 str to get 18 con, using a hammer instead of a heavy blade, and not getting the fighter weapon talent. So, all these things together, which are...

I've decided to give my adventurers roughly double the normal XP. The reason is we only play 2 times a month (at most) and I'd like them to see paragon play before 2011.

I thought I wrote it down somewhere. Ah here it is, right in the part you quoted. Anyway, here are the primary reasons: This is the main reason. The group members should be balanced with each other. Attribute selection can make some characters more effective in combat than others. A little bit...

I've never used them before. What are they exactly? Do you have pictures?

BoardGameGeek is a good sight for game reviews. It's interactive in so far as your best selected action might change depending on what your opponent does or is likely to do, but you're not going to send an invading force to take over their planets or anything like that. I like the game because...

It's not a board game, but I really like Race for the Galaxy.
