Plastic Miniatures support all editions. Bring those back.

I'm sick of biting into a taco and having all its contents fall onto my plate. I mean really...when are they going to fix that?

Agree...3e was like wizard heaven. In 1e, they needed their fellow adventurers even as they got to the higher levels.

You talk about making excuses for the "old editions" and then seem to focus on 3e. When I'm talking about "old editions" I'm talking about 1e & 2e. 3e introduced feats to the game which ultimately killed any form of balance. Take out feats and the fighter stands up much better. Now, I'm...

20th level fighter may have not been as powerful as 20th level wizards, but that doesn't mean they were nothing to fear. They were still very useful in higher level play. If they were not...that was on the DM. If you read all the hype about old school wizards, you might think a group of 5 high...

I've been playing 4th since it came out, but once I'm done with my current campaign...I'm going back to 1st edition. Here's two reasons why: 1) For years everyone wanted "balance". Well...WotC delivered. Now all classes are so balanced against each other...you may as only have one class...

Have you just read the most amazing post ever and want to give some exp...only to find you need to "Spread some around" first? Does it keep you up at night that you need to explain how you can't perform right now...only to hope someone else will cover for you? Rest easy...the solution is...

Groovy.

re: Guitars Not really a valid comparison. A lot of the price comes from "handmade" this and that which takes a bunch of time, or something unique. A wizards can whip out the biggest baddest magic item in an afternoon. At the upper levels, the gold required to actually buy one of the upper...

I guess I'm in the same boat with those that don't think 4E is more tactical. A 4E mid-level fighter might have 10+ different powers available in an encounter, but it's basically 10+ different ways to do the same thing...damage + (move opponent or keep opponent locked up). Older version...

I'm not sure how others played 1E, but when XP was given for treasure...I STILL killed the monsters in the room! So I guess I don't buy the "big" change in the game when you stopped getting XP for treasure. At the end of the day, I still killed all the monsters in the dungeon and took their...

Devoted gamers can make anything happen. If WotC asked the fanbase to do all the gruntwork and type out all the spells/rules/everything, there would be people willing. WotC would just have to upload this stuff to their server. If WotC offered a Collectors version of the ruleset that the...

Orcus is listed at $75 USD on Wizard's website. McFarlane dragons are about the same size and I buy them for $15-$20. THAT is the problem. Figure out how McFarlane does it and follow suite. I would GUESS that has to do with a broader market...so market differently.

There have been plenty of discussions about random/non-random, so I won't go into that. I think one of the best things to do with the line could simply be a matter of marketing. Stop pushing DDM's as a D&D accessory and start marketing them as a general toy. We gamers will know they can...

For those that you that are all for a purely digital D&D, I have a question for you. What do you have left when WotC decides to stop supplying it? Lets say 5E comes out and WotC makes it only available on DDI. No physical books (less profit) and no PDF's (pirates). Maybe it's the "BEST" D&D...

This item was released through DDI within the Article "Boss Laughter": Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page Pretty much a textbook examle of what I've truely come to hate about 4th edition items, and how they've lost anything special about them. Walking Death has several...

As far as Damage is concered, I asked the Dev team at GenCon if they planned on updating the new damage charts to the older monsters. After telling me there's nothing wrong with the older monsters, they mentioned that in their games, they add 1/2 monster level to damage and that seems to work...

Until recently, I've collected a wish list of magic items from the group I DM for and would hand them out in the parcel system. In our game last night, I did not have a list and not enough time to look up potential items for the party, so I came up with something on the fly: After a big...

Just let him use the template in the DMG and remind him that he's now "Elite" and takes up the spots of two PC's. :)

Seems like this can only work against the PC's. After all, when a PC crits a minion, they don't get anything extra...dead is dead.
