Those are great, thanks!

I like the idea of full-cover art. And I like the dynamics and topics of the MM and DMG. But... I don't like WAR, especially his faces. I very much hope the PHB gets a better picture, and would have preferred some other artist to do the covers. Lockwood is good.

I can't help but wonder if WotC acquired extra bandwidth and server power for the big reveal. Something tells me a lot of computer screens would be directed at their site in about 7 hours...

So true :(

What old TSR setting would you like to see republished by Wizards? (Inspired by a similar thread on Gleemax.)

KenSeg wins the forum. :)

The current policy of WotC regarding fan sites is a bit vague, but generally as long as the site isn't for profit and doesn't publish WotC's own work, Wizards won't bother it. This includes the publishing of fan material on ENWorld. You still aren't encouraged to publish material that...

I'll do check that. I apparently interpret the transparency differently than you all do, I'll look into that.

As you say, it's unlikely to matter. However, to publish in Hebrew you'll probably need to use Silver Stars' phrases and translation, which makes their policy more relevant. I believe Silver Stars won't mind too, and might even release the translations of the core books under the OGL, but that's...

I'm hoping for Birthright. If you remove all the domain rules, it makes for a very good D&D setting, that if done right explains why killing monsters makes you increase in power. More realistically, I think Greyhawk is still probably the best setting. I don't expect yet another setting, it will...

Hah! And I didn't know! As a confirmation, you can look here, where the Silver Stars publishing man says (in loose translation): Ok, so a little information: Fourth Edition is coming out starting in May 2008 in English. First the Player's Handbook, then the Monster Manual, then the Dungeon...

I like FireLance's points, and the similar lessons I've learned from Iron Heroes. So... - Balance per-encounter - Incorporate swift and immediate action, to increase options in each combat round - Include complicated resource mechanics (like tokens) to further increase options in combat, but...

I'm sure the Fourth Edition would be great. I doubt I'll purchase it, though. I plan on continuing playing 3.5 till the end of my current campaign, which should end at about the time Fourth Edition would be released. Then I'll be playing other games, not D&D, for a while. I expect to return to...

This is very strange. The SRD listing for pixie here and here doesn't list polymorph self, but the Monster Manual (v3.5, p. 236) does! Going by the MM, he can polymorph (self only) once per day. Edit: Got it, it's in the errata. We are working under a psionics-magic transparency rule (which is...

Eh, you're right. Still, he's going to use it, somehow... Hmm, I think he was going to use it on his spell-like ability, which has a caster level of 8 so the feat applies. However, as you say above, he doesn't have this spell-like ability... At any rate, he's gonna get the feat. (And use it...

My player wants to take on the "metamorphic transfer" feat from the XPH, which is He's intending to use it with his polymprpth racial ability - he'll be playing a pixie. Yes, he's a bit of a power gamer. I'm worried he'll go drawing out all sorts of crazily powerful supernatural abiltiies. Do...

I don't think egalitarian storytelling can work. Most players won't contribute much, but that's not really the problem. What bothers me is that things can't work well in terms of unexpected twists and surprises and so on; to make a good game, you need a united vision that just can't be provided...

:( I wish your father full health.
