Dragonlance is the setting which was so successful as a published world of novels and game supplements that TSR decided to pay Ed Greenwood to turn his Dragon material into a second proper setting. If Greyhawk comes after the Forgotten Realms, it definitely comes after Dragonlance - though it's...

There's actually no possible argument about the latter. D&D Online has almost nothing to do with Eberron apart from the names - its visuals, feel, and approach to the setting are completely wrongheaded.

Aside from the WhiteWolf LiveJournal, and the fact that (as far as I can tell) just about everyone on staff at White Wolf is at GenCon right now . . . do you go to RPG.Net? Because the White Wolf folks do. Freelancers and permanent staff alike post in threads about their games (and others, of...

In the game I play in now, my character is a rogue with a particular devotion to the Raven Queen, while my wife is playing a paladin in service to Pelor. I don't think any of the other PCs have much of a religious preference.

Same as always: none whatsoever. Hobbits are for jerks. ;)

They included errata in the deluxe versions of the Third Edition core rulebooks. I remember there was a controversy at the time, between people who felt it was a tremendous rip-off if they didn't include errata, and people who felt "forced" to buy the expensive deluxe editions if they did.

Bruce Cordell should know better than to write "tenants" when he means "tenets", FFS! Looks good otherwise!

I agree. In fact, the only reason I'm considering using power cards in the game I play in is that our DM doesn't have a large table for us to sit at, so we're a bit cramped with five PCs - it's purely to save space. With power cards, I can have the major details on the character sheet visible...

I don't, and won't, use a character sheet you write on with pens or pencils. For any game. Unless, I suppose, it were one of those games where the actual sheet was as important in play as the dice you use, or whatever (I've heard of them, but can't name names). I greatly prefer to do up my own...

1) You should tell the players when a monster is bloodied. The tiefling has a racial ability which kicks in when a foe is bloodied, and several feats depend on it. 2) He mentioned it's the last encounter because it wasn't a real game - I mean, they skipped over more than half the dungeon and...

For the record: GENASI. Not GENSAI.

One: never heard of it before the ENnie nominations were announced. For whatever reason, news has not reached me - and I come to both EN World and RPG.Net every day, so . . . Two: colonial America, even with witch hunters, ain't that exciting to non-Americans in general. As it happens, I'm...

Actually, all it says is "The ritual to become a death knight is said to have originated with Orcus, Demon Prince of the Undead."

Right now, I'm running a converted-to-Fourth Edition Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords game with four human PCs, and playing in a new Fourth Edition game with a dragonborn, a dwarf, an eladrin, a human, and a tiefling.

What kind of drooling moron would polish their studded leather's metal parts?

My only problem with this is that it's utterly stupid to assume that the artwork has to be wrong. It's a fantasy setting. (There are gelatinous cubes!) If it pleased Io to create dragonborn as humanoid creatures which hatch from eggs and have a superficial resemblance to dragons but otherwise...

People . . . actually ever looked at the front page? Really? ;)

Someone call the mother :):):):)ing waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance.

That is so true about me, as well, especially the last part. Obviously, everyone relates to different groups of people in different ways. It's just that there's no division between "my female friends" and "my male friends" - it's "my friends", "the production and shipping staff at work", "the...

Absolutely not. My female friends swear about as often as my male friends (i.e., some very rarely, some frequently), I tell the same jokes to women as I do to men, I act in exactly the same way - okay, except maybe I'm more likely to hug a female friend hello than a male friend, and even then I...
