    'Dungeons & Dragons' fights for its future

    Online games and D&D are different enough that many people enjoy participating in both of them. I am a very active player in WoW, but still look forward to my D&D game every 2-3 weeks (busy schedules among our group). They will remain different games, even if you will be able to play D&D...

    D&D 4E Would you buy 4E if it were not open/had no licenses for 3rd party companies?

    I'm buying it regardless of the license status. My hope is that third party publishers will be able to publish adventures and campaign settings. WotC hasn't provided much in the way of good adventures in the past compared to the 3rd parties. I think the OGL didn't turn out the way WotC...

    D&D 4E Why 4e is NOT WoW

    With the introduction of the bard hero class to WoW, the new Errata published today for the 3.5 PHB is out of date. You people at Wizards and Blizzard need to talk to each other more. We all know about the secret merger planned by the Illuminati and the Gnomes of Zurich (who bribed their way...

    Making your own power cards

    Impressive work everyone. I'm just getting way too much of a Magic Card feel since some of these are produced using a template for Magic. I'd prefer D&D power cards to be landscape format for more text, and less association with MtG. I don't see artwork on the front of the cards to be at...

    Martial Dailies - How so?

    It's not hard to rationalize as people have already pointed out. It's a difficult maneuver to pull off, and requires everything to happen just right in order to make it work. How often does the critter you're fighting open itself up to your attack in such a way that you can land your mighty...

    When you want to strangle a player

    You don't have the wrong word. Primate has long been used to designate a high-ranking church official. Check the link. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/primate

    EN World 2 gets nearer and nearer!

    It seems to work fine in Safari. I was able to log in, and view the forum page (the first main category page anyway). I didn't spend much time playing with it. Resized the screen and it moved stuff around to fit pretty well. Here are some screenshots. There was an issue in how one ad...

    D&D 4E 4E is like WoW (NOT!)

    Trolls? Pot meet kettle. I'm glad to know you gave WoW an entire week before condemning it as a pastime suited only for 12 year olds. I must be in tune with my inner child. So it feels like WoW in play? It must be great to have had the chance to try 4E out. How was your playtest? Of...

    4e rules will make some games much harder to run

    Just make everyone play Eladrin in 4E and they can teleport all over the place while still following the rules. ;) I hadn't considered that using a mat might impact the players' ability to have a memorable combat because it forces them out of the first person experience, and into viewing...

    D&D 4E Keith Baker on 4E! (The Hellcow responds!)

    Great thread, full of insights and interest. Thanks. It's encouraging to hear from this and other sources that one of my biggest fears about 4E may not be a problem. I have been concerned that the characters would feel too similar to each other. Is every wizard just a choice of fire or ice...

    D&D 4E 4E is like WoW (NOT!)

    What I have learned I have learned that putting up a bulleted list is akin to painting a bulls-eye on my post with a sign saying "Aim Here! Points now broken down for easier rebuttal! No need to read the rest of the post, or take it in context!". I have also learned that If I want to make...

    D&D 4E 4E is like WoW (NOT!)

    Thanks, but as I mentioned in my post (if you read past the first bulleted points) I've played WoW for some time now, and EQ longer than that. While I don't have time to be in a hard-core raid guild, raiding is still one of my favorite aspects of MMO's, and our guild is 3/4 in the Eye, and 5/6...

    D&D 4E Keith Baker on 4E! (The Hellcow responds!)

    This. It's fine for a group of experienced players to accept that their characters are just a bunch of red-shirts waiting to be given season contracts if they pan out, otherwise they get eaten by the alien and replaced with another up-and-coming actor. Players should have a good experience...

    D&D 4E Keith Baker on 4E! (The Hellcow responds!)

    The WotC ninja death squads who are on 3.5 book destruction duty will set their man-portable tac-nukes on "Seek and Destroy House Rules" and there you go. Kerplow!

    D&D 4E Keith Baker on 4E! (The Hellcow responds!)

    And we all know that if you take away the DM's fiat, he whines about it and is always calling you on your cell phone to come pick him up from work. Fiats are good in general. They don't always work reliably, but they're usually pretty cool. ;)

    D&D 4E 4E is like WoW (NOT!)

    The parallels that do exist have been drawn many times before. Here's a quick recap: • Class roles like Striker (DPS), Defender (Tank), Leader (Healer/Buffer), and Controller (CC). • Named powers for all classes. • Marking foes (hunter's mark, raid marking). • Abilities that let the tanks hold...

    History of WotCeria

    It is true that the all-powerful Hasbrite empire is the power behind the throne of the WotCerians, but their henchmen the Parker Brothers said I'd be Sorry! if I revealed any Clue of their plans. The Trivial Pursuits these guys are up to would Boggle your mind.

    History of WotCeria

    Dark clouds gathered in the heavens, blotting out the light of the sun. Which was just as well, for those witnessing the unfolding events were unaccustomed to the piercing light of that fiery orb, having spent most of their existence huddled before glowing screens in dimly lit, windowless cubes...
