    Legends & Lore: A Bit More on Feats

    If they can make all feats that powerful, it might work out. Can't say if it's properly balanced, but they are certainly interesting and "worth" taking.

    D&D 5E (2014) Legends and Lore 6/23: System vs. Content in D&D Next

    Sure it does. My point is quite simple. Nymrod make a claim that good modules makes a system, citing Pathfinder as an example. I told him that I disagree on the primary reason why Pathfinder has been the success that it has been. I really do not see anything confrontational about it. /shrug

    D&D 5E (2014) Legends and Lore 6/23: System vs. Content in D&D Next

    Paizo's adventures didn't "make" Pathfinder. WoTC did - First by making 3.x via the OGL, then by making 4e, an edition that a lot of people didn't like. ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) June 20 Q&A Legendary Creature Questions

    I hope he does. The first version released badly needs a legendary treatment.

    D&D 5E (2014) June 17 Legend & Lore - Playtesting Dragons

    I disagree. If it had been a legendary something-else, I am not convinced that you would have reacted the same way, since dragons seem to be one of your trigger-points. Either way, I am okay with it overall, especially when considering it a first draft. There are some interesting aspects, but I...

    D&D 5E (2014) June 17 Legend & Lore - Playtesting Dragons

    Actually, my comment didn't mean to imply that I disagree with you regarding the 5e dragon, merely that you seem to have some extremely precise idea when it comes to D&D dragons, and you never seem quite happy with what WotC comes up with. Which is totally okay of course, to each his own, but...

    D&D 5E (2014) June 17 Legend & Lore - Playtesting Dragons

    1st rule of ENworld is the grandma rule. 2nd rule is to never discuss dragons with Derren. Won't get you anywhere. ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on 6-7-13 Playtest Packet

    Also, last I checked, WotC still print their stuff in the US, at least they did for 4e.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on 6-7-13 Playtest Packet

    5-6 months is the number most often quoted in this business afaik. At least when we are talking about WotC-sized companies.

    D&D 5E (2014) We have a Legends and Lore this week

    Not sure I am completely sold on the proposition. IMO; healing should be in function of your hit points, so that no matter your level, it takes the same amount of time to heal up, baring magical help. For example, you could do a dial that looks vaguely like the following: Old school play...

    D&D 5E (2014) Exclusive D&D Next Campaign available at Gen Con Only

    I hope they make this available for those who despite it all have stuck to the DDI, or at the very least, offer the PDF for sale.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Q&A: Monster Entries, Class Focus & Random Tables

    Maybe they have been listening all along, but for whatever reason, it hasn't been high on their list of priorities. Perhaps they felt they needed to figure out how the exploration and interaction rules would work, before they gave the classes the ability to use such rules?

    D&D 5E (2014) Rolling for All Spells

    Having spells not requiring a to-hit roll from the player is part of giving melee and spellcasters a different feel, something which 4e taught them there ought to be.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next will be my next.

    Called it! But seriously, great that you admit it. Not everyone here would :)

    D&D 5E (2014) L&L: Mike Lays It All Out

    Everyone in next will regen - sort of. They are removing HD and changing it to regen. Then the DM can decide how fast it should be, depending on what type of campaign he wants. Like oldschool, hardcore would be 1 hp/day and superhero over-the-top would be like 1 hp/10 min.

    D&D 5E (2014) Time to Stop Revising

    That would have been the worst way to do things. People would have been mad, because they would have to pay twice for the same books. Really bad idea.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next is a mess.

    I think you have no clue what you are talking about.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wish - the Free Magic Item Factory

    That would definitely work for me. I mean, how often have people actually had players cast wish anyway?

    Legends and Lore: Uber Feats eat Prestige classes and Paragon Paths or give +1 to ability

    Offhand, it sounds like the worst idea since THAC0.
