Whiskey in the Jar almost sounds like something a bard would sing. But it's not terribly inspiring. Just take the shell and D&D it up.

Lvl 4 Neutral Good Sorcerer, Human Strength- 11 Dexterity- 12 Constitution- 11 Intelligence- 13 Wisdom- 14 Charisma- 12 I would not play me. These stats would be useful to an archivist. I would play me if it were an archivist rather then a sorc. It looks like I am a mere mortal surrounded by...

Wow, that's hot. This Traveler, I like. I like it a lot. I can see some truly cinematic action coming from this.

Looks like I'll be running it in two weeks. I like most of the Star Drive setting, the bit's I don't like are the funky races and too many different nations. I'm trying to come with some kind of Traveler type character generation, but haven't started.

I'm coming to this late, but here goes... We all might be experts in our own way. Problem is, the only expert opinion that matters is the one who came up with this policy at wotc. I seriously doubt it was an off cuff decision. Perhaps in the old days of TSR, but not in the new days of corporate...

Unlike other people when they "geek out" on television or some other medium, all of this language is correct. It shows he isn't just throwing together various items out of the PHB that make no sense to gamers, he uses them correctly. Bravo.

Why the deception? I don't know. Human nature, probably. When I think of these things, I think back to the old MUD's or D&D games on the PC where stat rolling is random. I'd click that reroll button endlessly until my thief had an 18 dex, and I'd even re-roll those when the rest was crap...

I would be sad to see them absent from the PHB1. BUT... Just like the Wizard, the Druid is waaay too powerful and is a bit of a game breaker. It's worse than a wizard in many ways. So in flavor, I would be sad. As a DM and dealing with PC power, I would not be. Out of the list the OP...

Pun-pun. It's that easy. But I think Raistlin could take him, so I'd send Raistlin after him.

I agree with you. Smart resource management and "reality" dictates how much you can rest. But the problem is, D&D is an anomaly when it comes to the fire and forget system. Most people who are going to be buying D&D for the next 20 years (young people) have probably bee introduced to gaming...

Nuclear induced literal World of Darkness? Man, that would be sweet. Perhaps reworking what the conflagration is the best way to go about it. I don't want to accelerate the timeline, and I don't want drastically change the political landscape. Maybe the world ran out of oil a lot quicker than...

Considering the complete lack of leaks about 4th edition previous to Gencon, I'm not surprised he is keeping abreast with what has been said before. They have very good information security there. It is nice to see a "mainstream" gaming site give some coverage to, as they said it, gaming...

Alright, so I have McWod, and I like it. What I really like the post apocalypse aspect of it. It doesn't help that I just listened to "Night Marauders" by 3 Inches of Blood. Anyway, for those of you who have read the setting book, how would you add a more nuclear post apocalypse scenario to...

I buy a fair amount of RPG's, probably a book every other month or so. It's usually D&D, but I just bought McWod, and will probably buy the new traveller5 if it's any good. That apocalypse deal sounds pretty sweet. Problem is, the armies I am interested in (Tyranids and Dark Eldar) are due to a...

Some time ago there was a discussion on gamegrene.com about getting paid to DM. This was before the insider thing was mentioned, so it would have been a table top DM getting paid to DM. It obviously doesn't work. But it could work on the DI. Set up a rating system like we see on ebay. Charge...

60 is pretty steep to me for that. I'd expect a wide amount of diversity amongst the miniatures, and a pretty wide spread - So there would be more than 30 in a 5 level adventure. Now, where I do see this working is on the D&D insider. For 20 bucks, you get the aforementioned adventure, all of...

I was running an Iron Heroes game, and I had set up a series of encounters leading to the bottom of an ancient temple where a small bronze tube was set on a podium. All throughout the temple there were various Fresco paintings detailing some ancient evil vanquished. The bronze tube was the key...

Something tells me the servers for the DI will be a bit beefier than what they use now. In addition to that, we know too little to say what's going to be supported or will not be, and if we need internet access to view the DI stuff. Not like you will be able to do an offline search for stuff you...

Yes, it all stinks. But it stinks of progress. Wizards is doing what they have to do to make the game appeal to more gamers. Will the amount they alienate be less than the new blood they bring in? I think so. Time will tell.

Ah ha! It did blink. Notch another mark in the "sane" column.
