    Have you seen/met any of these D&D "celebs"?

    I've met John Tweet twice, once while he was working on Ars Magica and another time at GenCon when he was undoubtedly secretly working on third edition. I first met Rob Heinsoo at a Glorantha-Con when he was the new hire in charge of marketing at Chaosium, I think.

    Are kids playing tabletop D&D these days?

    Well, I'd harly call the female warrior "scantily clad"... Anyway, I'm starting a kid's game with a couple of 6 year olds and an 8 year old shortly. Knight and Wizard are the main classes, based off of fighter and warlock. Works nicely.

    Law and Chaos gone? Good Riddance!

    Really? I must have missed that, somehow. I know that alignment is being downplayed in general not that the Law and Chaos alignments were being removed altogether. Looks like I'll have to do some rewriting. The conflict between Stability and Change is forefront in my campaign.

    D&D 4E The 4e PHB : Cheesecake Y/N?

    I pretty offended. I mean, really, just look at that sword. Completely impractical, she would have to have wrists the size of her thighs. ... what?

    Erick Wujcik

    He put together the Amber Diceless game didn't he? I seem to remember reading something where he talked to Zelazny and got his blessing personally for the project. Live well, Erick

    This weekend @ the boxoffice: 2007.Dec.24

    When a movie "tanks", how bad is bad? When I look at the movies in the OP, Golden Compass has made ~25% of its budget in the first three weeks. Is that good? Bad? Okay? Alvin has obviously rocked as the gross is over the cost in the second week.

    Alright. I've been looking forward to this.

    PoL & population density

    I agree if the 3-4th level character is a PC class. If they are a 3-4th level commoner or warrior in 3e or a non heroic 3rd level character in SWSE they're not too impressive.

    Santa In A Game?

    I had a game similar to this, but the PCs were good. Back in the day, when we were around 14-15, I ran an adventure where the forces of evil had captured one of the worlds mythic figures. He, and his team of crafters, were heralds of the new year and brought hope to the oppressed throughout the...

    Heroic Classes

    Why not? I imagine that they will be more plentiul than what we had PrC-wise as the mechanics will probably little more than a string of abilities or a feat tree. Also, if there are a significant number of them it will be easier to extrapolate what is a reasonable paragon path and make our own...

    Heroic Classes

    While I have no special knowledge, I would be very surprised if that wasn't the case. In SWSE you can progress up to 20th level in Jedi, but there are Jedi Master and Jedi... (Yoda) PrC to take. Since it was also specificially stated that these paths are the 4e equivalent of prestige classes I'm...

    Great Fantasy Cities (and what makes them so awesome)

    Pavis was my favorite too. Our group had years of adventure there, in both the new and old cities.

    Did you look at Ghostwalk? What did you think?

    It was an interesting concept but not one I was interested in pursuing. If I was going to pursue an "alternate reality from mideval" style game it would be plane hopping. I'm more interested in Orpheus than Casper.

    WotC_PeterS talks about his "aggresive playtest" (with Le Rouse, SKR, & Noonan)

    You have a point, my example is absurd. However, I haven't found too many examples of problems in 3e that caused my groups (or me, as the DM) any real problems. Polymorph, et.al., was an issue, for example, but I sat down figured out what the problem I had with it was and hammered out a...

    D&D 4E 4E Giants

    Frank, where did that image come from? I don't see it on the WotC site.

    WotC_PeterS talks about his "aggresive playtest" (with Le Rouse, SKR, & Noonan)

    It is handwave simple. "Holy crap Steve, I didn't realize that a Goliath Piledriver with the Kirk Axehandle Strike can do over 300 hp with a single hit. I'll need you to choose a different feat." There you go.
