Nothing preventing it except the assumption that humans always behave with perfect benevolence, fairness, and kindness when money is involved. :D

On the other hand, your alternate assumption is that you can place unconditional trust in people you don't even personally know. And possibly, a different set of people you don't even personally know in another week or year, if the first set is replaced in any way. There are 3 people I can...

Yes, it would be badger-riding kobold. Or kobold badger-rider. Or for that matter, kobold badger dragoon! ;)

Problem is, a lot of duels were fatal to both parties. There's got to be a way for both to lose if you want to keep that rather suicidal flavor that historical pistol duels had. ;)

Ah, okay, reading is extraordinarily rash and elitist. Gotcha. Thanks for setting me straight on that. And anything that isn't in the 400 word TV vocabulary is archaic. Huzzah for ignorance!

To elaborate, "justiciar" at least has an association with "justice." Justicar, on the other hand, sounds like one of those ludicrous titles that Carl Barks gave to his maharajas in his Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics -- "The Maharajah of Swingingdore" or the "Maharajah of Bumpacar."...

Justiciar > justicar, IMO. And if I actually heard someone pronounce "blackguard" as "black guard," I would assume that English was not their first language.

And never did I state that this was journalism or that this goon, whoever he is (and frankly, I don't care) is a journalist. I was employing "yellow journalism" as a descriptive, comparative term -- like "mudslinging," even though mud is not involved. Or "smearing," even though no physical...

Oh, yes, and while we're on the subject of the art previews, does anyone else think that the female cambion resembles Aunt Jemima? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt_Jemima

Well, whatever the heck that thing is, it sure isn't a gnome. Nor is that abomination that Wayne Reynolds afflicted the world with a gnome -- its species name is "Kill On Sight." :D

Excellent point .... that would need to be one heck of a tough bag. :D To get back to the topic on hand -- I don't see any reason to not have the power cards as a deck, either. They're just spread out like that for the photograph.

I love that headline, though .... straight out of the handbook of yellow journalism, you might say .... :D "Sleazy proposed new Dungeons and Dragons license seeks to poison open gaming systems" Ah, neutrality. ;)

I'm an absolute Tolkien fan and I marked "No Way" -- turning the books into some sort of glorified dungeon crawl would destroy their magic completely. I might consider a campaign based on earlier parts of Middle-Earth "history" .... for example, the Angmar campaign that Enkhidu describes.

Depending on how mounted combat is handled (or ignored), perhaps this will prompt my first foray into attempted pdf publishing .... something like "The Book of Mounted Mayhem" or something .... :D

My games are typically centered around outdoor adventures and the like, and because of that, my PCs usually equip themselves with steeds at the earliest convenience. I say "steeds" because there are no horses in my campaign setting, ;) but that's beside the point. What I'm wondering is, have...

There's only one thing that I don't like about the paragon paths, and that's the "kensai" stuff. As the runner of a pretty European-based campaign world, I dislike having that oriental flavor hard-wired into the description. In particular, because a slight change -- you are privy to the secrets...

Hm, I just looked over that art gallery for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised. All of the pictures, with the exception of the cambion, looked good to me .... and I like the fact that the rakshasa is wearing more 'traditional' armor and gear, rather than the bondage fetish leather of...

If prestige classes are truly gone, then there shall be great rejoicing in my soul. :cool:

It's a horse carcass I'll never tire of flogging. ;)

How many sergeants, lieutenants, captains, or majors have you heard being described as a "warlord"? Do you mean to tell me that our army contains thousands upon thousands of warlords? My point still stands. It's like a doctor calling the muscle in your calf a "bicep" -- yes, it refers to a...
