    What good is an Endurance skill?

    Possibly. Although, if you have hiked along with Thorgrim the Mighty-Thewed for the past 12 levels I would hope that you gained some conditioning.

    grillin' time: what's your favorite grub?

    Brats, ribs and steaks are a slice of heaven, I tell you. I've only recently gotten into cooking corn on the grill, and it is fantastic. Once all of the starch carmelizes it is amazing. Some ribs and corn, it's awesome!

    Beholder in Seattle

    Jenkin, bite your tongue. Err, fingers.... I guess it's time to pay a visit to my daughter in college. "nice to see you too, sweetee. Say, let's get a cup of coffee. No, way across town. Why? No reason. Just herd they had good coffee at Occidental." Followed by much sighing and eye-rolling as...

    Daily Art Preview

    It's on the Wizard's site from ~4 months back, I think. It also mentioned a tidbit about yugoloths that made Shemeska cry a bitter red tear, too.

    Eadric et. al. (The Paladin and his Friends).

    ...yet. I imagine that when push comes to shove, Eadric could call a cascade through prayer. It would be glorious, and afterwards we would witness Eadric's assumption. Which is why we haven't seen it yet, I wager. Once that last demon is slain, I wonder if you would ever adventure in Wyre...

    D&D 4E Raiders of Oakhurst Reloaded -- Free 4E Adventure (Ennie Nominated!)

    Nope, it's a move. Unless you are a kobold, then it's a minor, but it's never free.

    Did Anybody Ever Play "Space Opera?"

    I played it, a looooong time ago. Never ran a game. Character creation was definately more involved than usual for that time. It was definately more "fantastic" than Traveller. I remember there being some alien psychic and some Star Trek level technology being passed around. I played a...

    Alignment/Multiclassing/DM Screen/Power Source From I-Con

    I have a vague feeling that artifice will either be one of those in the lost 10%, perhaps detailing one class, or it will be covered by a third party. And, it will only be covered in the PHB3 or 4, so it's going to be a long time before it is available. The only thing working against that in...

    Joy. It's the Buddy's Girlfriend.

    When a gamer's wife showed interest in joining the table, I asked her what she would be most interested in playing: Joan of Arc? (Paladin) Circe? (Warlock) Eowyn? (Fighter) -----? (Someone else that tied into cleric) Granted, she knew who these people were, but they gave her a good grasp for...

    You D&D people are going to hell!

    We've all been promoted, obviously.

    D&D 4E Early Days of 4e will be a Gearhead's Paradise

    I'm sure it will take me all of a week to write up Giants and neo-Akashics in 4e after I've digested the books. The giants from AE have become a big part of my homebrew and I've spliced together the akashic and oathsworn from that set already. I'll just have to translate that too.

    D&D 4E What place does dual wielding have in 4E?

    In SWSE if you dual wield melee weapons to take a penalty to hit for an extra die of damage. There is one attack roll. Take that as you will.

    Raise Dead: A nice big bone to the simulationists

    Come to my hospital and I'll show you. There are several material components, some of them are entertaining to use. And it costs a hell of a lot more than a nice diamond. Three months ago we brought back someone who was completely exsanguinated for 15 minutes. That was pretty tricky, I admit...

    D&D 4E 4e: the new paradigm

    More than you know, we went to the same college. But, he is a bright and creative man who has bent his mind to the core of gaming. He seeks to know the whys and wherefores. Which, I actually am indifferent about, but he's interesting to listen to.

    Long-Term Injury Fun?

    After musing on the topic for a while, I was reminded of the "major wound" rules from BRP, specifically the Hawkmoon boxed set. If you take a single wound that does half or more of your hit points in one shot, you take a major wound. You have a modest penalty that goes away once you have healed...

    Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

    Puppets are useful, particularly this one. Take his items, of course, and have fashioned for him suitable replacements. They won't be nearly as effective but will have similar auras to disguise that they are knock-offs rather than the real deal. Then, use his influence to divert resources to...

    Long-Term Injury Fun?

    Now that I really think about it, I only have one reason for long-term injuring. Removing limbs and eyes so that we can have those cool magical prostheses. (Hand of Kwill, Eye of Ryn, Benedict's Arm)

    How many "Encounter" powers can you use outside an "Encounter"?

    1A You can use them pretty much whenever you want, but there must be at least 5-10 minutes between each use. That's how I'm thinking about it until I get the rule books.

    D&D 4E 4E Liker - anything you worry about?

    I'm concerned about multi-classing, although intrigued by the concept that you can "feat-dip" into a class rather than spending a level to get something. If it works similarly like SWSE, that will be acceptible. Something fear-worthy? Long term damage. It has been a long time since people were...

    Yes! "Turns" are back!!

    And, if you specifically forbid them and turn your back... SHAZAM! Painted kid.
