    Rebuild 1E...

    Retooling 1e... I did a fair bit of tinkering back in the day. After experiencing 3rd and 4th edition I have had some changes in attitude about what I would want. That said, however, I would happily play by the book 1e if the opportunity arose. Part of my attitude is that class is the primary...

    D&D Video Gaming News - Hasbro sues for breach of contact by Atari

    Because a D&D game would sell on name alone, there is by far sufficient fluff to create a set of scenarios around and I think real time games suck? I want a turn based game. My job gives me enough time-based pressure already, I would like to relax with my entertainments.

    I'm with you here. I still can't believe they gave us Castor without Pollox.

    What motivates a primordial?

    Primordials want to exult in their idiom. The Windwalker wants to race around mountains, dodge lightning and out-shout the Earthshaker with it's thunder vs. the groaning of an earthquake. Unfortunately, those kinds of games and rivalries make it difficult to grow crops and build houses. For...

    So... where can I print out PDFs?

    Step 1: Buy cool pdf that enhances your game. Step 2: Print two copies of your reciept from PayPal, RPGNow or whatever you have that says you paid money for product. Step 3: DO NOT go to any national chain. Find a local print shop and ask them nicely to print out and bind your pdf file and...

    Which hardcovers do you own/plan to own?

    I have all of the books down to and including Divine Power, except FRPG and Dungeon Delve. After that the only ones I want are The Planes Above, Below and the DSCG. If the Underdark book has some sweet mindflayer lovin' I might get it, but it's unlikely at this point.

    What's your Fifth?

    2 Leaders (Warlord, Cleric) 2 Controllers (Wizard x2) 1 Striker (Ranger) 1 Defender (Fighter) I picked leader. They party I run seems to lean toward "We have a problem, but we can take the punishment so it doesn't matter" over "We have a problem, nuke that spot now." I vote for scotch.

    How many cycles of 4E core books will you buy?

    Lemon curry. I stopped buying 3.x books when I felt I was going to use or was interested in less than half of the contents. For 4th, I bought the core three, core three 2, I will probably buy the PHB3 for psionics. It would have been a garunteed sale if it had Shadow classes, however. I might...

    Dune-based setting elements

    Clark411 was developing a setting he called "the Residuum must flow". It had a Dune vibe to it. If you dig around in the Plots and Places section you should find it.

    The Vistani Return

    One of the things that I really like about it is that you can easily extrapolate the Vistani into a guild or group that gives concrete benfits to its members. Especially when you combine it with the Grandmaster's training from DMG2.

    Third Party: If So, Then What?

    If I produced a 4e 3pp setting that had the longevity as one of the above, I can't see how you could possible consider it anything other than a success. However, I think it would be difficult to produce the first three lines since they had minor to significant levels of PC class changes...

    Do you want PDFs?

    I mostly want PDFs of out of print modules. However, that's a current desire probably born from their inaccessability. I do have a number of other pdfs, mostly monte Cook's stuff. My desire for pdfs is also pretty storngly tied to pdf readers like the Kindle and iRex. My demand for pdfs would...

    Movies that make you want to game...

    The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (w/ Law & Baker) 13th Warrior Conan the Barbarian Conan the Destroyer I'll give a nod to "Robin of Sherwood". I only saw a couple of episodes but I happily stole the sword lore for my campaign. Andon is right on with "Record of Lodoss War" and "Slayers". In fact...

    Kinda stuck for creativity. The heroes have recovered a broken dwarven hammer and the Invulnerable Coat of Arnd from the tomb of an ancient dwarven hero. They have accepted the geas to go forth and smite the hobgoblins of the Black Flame tribe who have held an ancient dwarven citadel for...
