    The Early Verdict (kinda long)

    How? I've seen this assertion, but I still don't get it. What mechanics are present in 3e, that are absent in 4e, that enhance this? I honestly don't get it.

    Campaign Settings, and The GSL

    Clark Petersen of Necromancer Games. Who happens to be a lawyer, as I recall. There are many people watching Necromancer Games to see what they do, study their procedures and how successful they are.

    Campaign Area - Size at 1st Level

    "Hey DM! Come over here!" "What you need?" "One town, one dungeon and one booossssss...!!" Yeah, it could work. I sketch things out so that there are 2-3 things to do, and 2-3 "steps" to each. So, Town --> River --> Swamp --> Lizardmen or Town --> Hills --> Goblins in mine. Things like that...

    How to detain an Eladrin Rogue? ie, teleporting

    If you can forge shackles, you can forge a locking helmet. Don't let him see, he can't teleport. Or, dig a three foot deep trench, put a door over it, pile rocks on the door. Come back if he happens to be innocent.

    Monster Manual: What's missing which has impacted you?

    Good Grief! That kobold article is great! I was not going to even look at subscribing to DDI, but if they keep turning out this kind of stuff my resolve may waver.

    [Points of Light Setting] The Residuum Must Flow (updated 6/24)

    Marvellous. My 3e / AE setting is a combo of Dune and Nine Princes in Amber. I love what you have done with your ideas and will probably steal a bunch of things. My players are interested in 4e and I'm going to advance my timeline a bit. This will be a great springboard.

    How has the 4e/3e schism affected you?

    Hasn't affected our group, or me, at all. We're excited about 4e and looking forward to converting the campaign. If 4e doen't support the way we play, which is hard to imagine for me, we'll take what we like from 4e and go back to our 3x.e / AE hodge-podge.

    Dragon article -- Class Acts: Wizards

    Wow. That's a nice start. Add some rituals for something longer term and you would be set for the heroic tier.

    Challenge! I want to convert your concept!

    A Zothique style game would be awesome. Right at the moment, you'll have to make something up to casually animate dead. Designing a ritual is probably your best bet as well as referencing the clerical summons prayers. I imagine the undead sourcebook will have the necromancer in it as well as...

    Feystep

    Bear with me, this is vague. I read a sci-fi book a long time ago, and it was written even longer ago, about how society changed when humans learned to teleport. No one really knows how it happened, probably some evolutionary thing. But, with focus and concentration, you could teleport yourself...

    Tissue-Paper Dungeons?

    Well, it took me about three hours to bust up and cart away a two-brick thick shell about 3' x 6' x 2'. It was pretty fun, actually. Now, the brick does crush more than stone, but I figure that someone in better shape and with a magical implement could do a pretty good job on a foot thick stone...

    1st-Level Monster Conversions

    I'd love a version of the kaorti. They are going to be my campaigns "orcs", I think.

    Are you blowing anything off to get 4e on Friday?

    I have Friday's off, and Saturdays are usually slow at the hospital. Heh.

    I got a Wii!

    Yeah, they're impossible to find around here as well. The only reason I have one is through mail order. Wal-Mart has them ready to ship, but you have to get the bundle. Which, actually, isn't that bad of a deal.

    I got a Wii!

    And it's darn fun, I tell ya. Also with a young son I can actually find some nice games that we can play together with as well as letting him play alone with it (after homework, naturally). What games have y'all gotten for your Wii, and what have you liked about them? I actually like the stock...

    How will PC's make money in your world

    what an odd question. I've never had any players of mine use the profession skill or secondary skills to make any real money. There were periods of down time where one person may have said "Well, I'm a bowyer / fletcher, so I'll make arrows for the next three months before our castle is...

    KotS Healing Potions

    Hrm. I don't think I like that the magic item uses character resources. The benefit also drops markedly when the character's HP climb above 40, which is fairly soon now. Well, I'll still reserve final judgement until after I've read the books.
