    Tempted as I am to say "If you'd read the thread, you would know", my point was that you came in and said "I can't accept this as a worg" right after Logan Bonner posted to say "This isn't the worg, it's just a Large variant of it". Rendering your objection more than a little moot.

    price of H1 Keep on the Shadowfell

    Of course, the fact of the matter is that the $8 modules you bought in 1987 looked absolutely nothing like the $29.95 adventures on sale today - and the fact of the market is that the slickly produced adventures of today sell a hell of a lot better than something that looks like a module from...

    price of H1 Keep on the Shadowfell

    Amazon is often wrong about the physical details of products. Page count, format, you name it.

    What's your back-up game?

    I have never been the kind of person who wants to play only one kind of game. I'm very confident that I will enjoy Fourth Edition D&D, but even in that case, I'm not looking at running or playing D&D as my only (or even my primary) game. Case in point: sure, I'm running a revised Third Edition...

    GSL FAQ up

    You want to pick door number three. Paizo's publication of Dragon and Dungeon was arranged under a completely separate license from either the d20 System Trademark License or the Open Game License. It was more of an actual contract between Wizards of the Coast and Paizo Publishing. As I...

    D&D 4E How would 4E improve my game?

    What "happened" is that Dungeons & Dragons has never been a medieval-ish world. People will talk about Elmore and Caldwell and I will laugh in their faces; all their work was just the fashionable Eighties idealisation of what real armour, weapons, hair, and figures looked like. Now we have the...

    Mate, colour the second version of Diablo black, set its neck and feet on fire, and stick some wings on, and you have the movie Balrog. Who are you trying to kid?

    Redesigning the D&D website

    Absolutely fantastic work. I love the colour scheme, I love the layout, I love everything about it.

    [Ampersand] Bill Slavicsek on campaign settings

    That's pretty much the opposite of what he said. Instead of core books + Eberron books + Forgotten Realms books each year, they'll be producing a trio of books for a single setting and a bunch of books for "D&D in general". You won't be seeing Dragons of Eberron and Dragons of Faerun and...

    Listen, <deleted for propriety's sake>, Tolkien didn't design the Balrog they used in the movie, did he? Pretty sure it was just "shadow and flame", not "a big hulking thing with batwings and ram's horns and flame-spikes coming up from the tail, and skin like magma". And the fact that I'm...

    Pronounciation of Justiciar

    It's also worth noting that it's not legitimate in any English dialect to pronounce "ie" like "eye" if the word continues, you know? "Tie" is fine, but we don't write it "strief" or "liek" (well, some of us do not, but it's irony). Obviously, words like "piecrust" are an exception, because...

    I wasn't just referring to the Diablo character, but seriously: if you stuck wings on Diablo and coloured him black, you'd pretty much have that movie Balrog. It's one of the most unimaginative and boring designs they could have gone with.

    Really? I've always thought looked like some Diablo-esque crap.

    They call it African-American Vernacular English these days.

    Pronounciation of Justiciar

    Yeah, but what about the Justiciar - note correct spelling - under discussion? How do you justify killing the third "I"?
