What in the name of Hades happened to the "ng" in your dialect? TEEF-ling. Correct as invented, correct as extrapolated from the German. TIFE-ling is just triflin'.

Personally, I will be pronouncing the A near the end: juss-TISH-ee-ar. "Justicar" is not how the word is spelled and not how it could possibly be pronounced. Plus, I'm pretty sure it was the name of a stupid Camarilla roving intercity sheriff idea in Vampire: The Masquerade.

Is every wizard like Merlin - or, worse, Gandalf?

For some people, the idea of a friendly local gaming store is pure fantasy. ;) Don't get your hopes up. The Fourth Edition SRD will not be a stripped-down version of the actual rules, but a document clearly outlining which elements of the books are Open Content and which are not. You won't be...

Actually, the way Keith Baker writes them, Demogorgon et aliis (if they even exist in Eberron) would be a step below the level of the overlords. In his conversion of the Savage Tide adventure path, the plan was that Demogorgon would be "one of the mightiest fiends that remains unbound", and...

I personally recommend against buying from Games Paradise, having worked there.

Are you trying to correct my grammar, or imply that we don't write the same way as did Shakespeare? In the first case, I would remind you that "they" is still a single word and therefore "was" is the appropriate form. In the second, my point is that we do write as Shakespeare did - in using...

"They" was good enough for Shakespeare, so it's good enough for me.

You think that's bad, consider the fact that the climax of the film involves the protagonist's wife rediscovering divine magic for the first time in ages, and using it to beat the dragon. THEY HAD A CLERIC OF OBAD-HAI IN THE PARTY.

Looks like a lighting issue to me. The rock there looks almost photonegative.

Who says they didn't? The existence of the rakshasa assassin doesn't prevent there being a regular rakshasa - and I note that there's a rakshasa baron in the Dungeons of Dread set.

Wizards of the Coast introduced different rakshasas in Monster Manual III. The rakshasa assassin seen here is just an update of the nazrathune rakshasa from that book. They're still described as having the heads of "black-furred tigers". The expansion of the rakshasa began with the Eberron...

You know they're supposed to be on backwards, right?

No hobbits ever, thanks. I like the warlord. I could definitely enjoy playing a character like that, and I like the subtle distinction between the "defensive" inspiring warlord and the "offensive" tactical warlord.

Including "System Reference Document". We already know that the Fourth Edition SRD associated with the Game System License will not be a stripped-down version of the ruleset, but rather a document which states which parts of the rules are considered Open Content and/or are covered by the GSL...

Matt Cavotta's version of the efreet, from the cover of Dungeon Master's Guide II, is the superior version of that pose:

I am so incredibly tired of absolutist statements like "Flavourful setting material is easy, balanced mechanics are the hard part the game should give you!" and "Rules for combat and whatnot are pretty simple to hammer out, it's the creative worldbuilding and plotting that I need from my books!"...

Most office building corridors I've ever been in were about a metre across. My point was that a square meter sounds about right for space you can control with a dagger or your own fists - about the smallest weapon possible. ;) Actually, the real reason for it? I play with Australians (and my...

Don't get too excited about the Dark Sun novels coming back. They've reprinted several Ravenloft novels by authors who, like Troy Denning, are familiar from other tie-in properties or their own works: Laurell K. Hamilton and Christie Golden, for instance. That doesn't necessarily mean that...

In my Fourth Edition games, squares will be one metre on a side. This makes them significantly smaller than a five-foot-square space, but to be perfectly honest five square feet is to my mind implausibly large as a space for one character to "occupy" in the D&D sense. The other advantage of...
