I thought the finalists were all WotC property.

Do you have Web history on? I think Google will use that to tailor search results based on past queries.

If you are going to go with a 3.5 setting (and continue to play 3.5), I highly recommend Eberron over anything else. 1. The world is designed specifically for 3.5 rules rather than layered with traces of legacy rules like FR and Greyhawk. 2. It's not inundated with decades of supplements...

If you plan on switching to 4e, I don't recommend using a setting that has mechanics specified in it. Instead, pick something that is pure fluff, such as Green Ronin's Pirate's Guide to Freeport. I haven't actually read it, yet, but I hear good things about it and might switch from Eberron to...

I actually go one step further and have both sides roll. I considered the Players Roll variant, but I really like to keep them guessing rather than "Oh, the DC is X, and I rolled Y. I'll spend an action point."

I was referring to drow in Eberron specifically. Drow are painted as tribal groups that survive off the land in Xen'drik and sometimes war against each other as well as against giants.

One of the nice ideas of this variant is if you combine it with Action Points, allowing players to improve results for spell DCs and AC.

Depends on the setting. In Eberron, orcs and drow are not assumed to be evil. Drow are more xenophobic than evil, too. There's nothing wrong with playing a drow that's something to the effect of Mani in Brotherhood of the Wolf.

Wroat isn't too bad of a place, but I would lean toward Aundair given the focus on arcane magic. I wouldn't bother placing it in a city established in Eberron; instead I would simply drop it as is as a new separate city, possibly a free city to keep with the feel.

Well, now I know why the web guys have been busy. Now that things have slowed down at least a little, can we expect to see high-resolution maps for Eyes of the Lich Queen soon?

The blog idea isn't a bad one. Even if it's simply a link to some new tidbit found in a thread, podcast, video, or elsewhere. They could make it open to all WotC staff to add to the same blog, too.

As far as I know, the game table is "dumb" meaning that it doesn't govern any rules. As such, no one would be stopping you from playing with 3e rules.

Oh wait, I found it. It was in Randy's Blog. See? Disparate sources! :P

Mike, I have been very actively listening to the D&D and Gamer Radio Zero podcasts as well as paying careful attention to the YouTube videos from GenCon. On top of that I have been trying to keep up with the WotC Staff blogs and the general 4e forums both here and on the WotC forums. I'd like to...

I think the misunderstanding is that D&D Insider is a combination of things, including Dragon and Dungeon. An $8-$12 monthly subscription to D&D Insider will provide the following: -Dragon and Dungeon articles 3/week (this might be available to everyone according to the D&D Podcast Episode 14)...

They will be free for the next 8 months. They have said this on multiple occasions.

I think they are still moving forward with that effort. They just released Forge of War yesterday. I'm hoping that the prices will drop either just before or after 4e is released. I'd like to get a copy of some of my books in an electronic format so that I can easily search it.

Strange. I was just looking at them last night. I chalk this up to a glitch with the change to the new site.

Point being, they haven't been removed as part of some conspiracy to move it all to the D&DI. They are being recovered. For example, all of the Eberron archives are back.

The archives are back. Product galleries are under Products. Setting archives are under Settings. General archives are under Features.
