At this point, I've got the gift set pre-ordered from Amazon. I'll actually be in California and Texas visiting my in-laws right after the game comes out, so that's cool. I imagine that, just as we did with revised Third Edition, my wife will buy her own Player's Handbook when I get a game...

I do like the way Rich Baker and Bruce Cordell described the updated version of Thay. A remote, scary place dominated by evil wizards is much cooler than the current version, which is an accessible, orderly place dominated by evil wizards.

I'll be buying the Fourth Edition core rules whether or not Wizards of the Coast ever offers a license to any other company. This is despite the fact that I enjoyed Arcana Unearthed, most of Malhavoc's other Complete Book of products, Iron Heroes, True 20, and Pathfinder. First of all, the...

Along the same lines, I'm hoping that the name "balor" will be reserved for some kind of Feywild creature related to the fomorians, considering.

Gods damn it, a party of characters do not fight only one monster. That succubus is backed up by, for example, two snaketongue assassins and two crushgrip constrictors. Five monsters, facing five PCs (the assumed default in Fourth Edition). Do you think the pregen wizard is going to beat her...

I'm running the next session of my Rise of the Runelords campaign tonight - we're in the first module. The PCs are nearly done with the Catacombs of Wrath, and will shortly be heading out to Thistletop. Unless they decide to jump the tracks! I'm a bit sad that it took so long to get this game...

Betcha there's a ritual for long-term domination effects.

Yeah, I really like it myself. They're not "layers" anymore, but they've still got their distinct feels - and I love the idea of expeditions delving ever downwards through each layer, trying to make their way from Avernus down to a deeper realm.

Either that, or it's as simple as saying that she needs to grab you, even if only for a moment, to make sure the kiss takes effect. Very few people would just lean in if they wanted to forcibly kiss someone.

Quite ridiculous, of course. Absolutely nothing prevents the war devil or the mind flayer from attacking with their weapons; however, just as is the case for a PC, this will likely be a less optimal choice than using a power. In other words, the war devil can hit you with his trident every...

I will be in California when Fourth Edition comes out - my wife is interested in playing (she currently plays in my Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords game), and I might be able to talk her brother and maybe his roommate into playing. Otherwise, I might try to run Keep on the Shadowfell either...

Because that was a Living Forgotten Realms game. PAY-lore. ah-MAW-na-tore. What's so hard? ;)

Wow, look at the huge cover images there.

I am being perfectly serious when I say that Deadwood will basically provide all the answers to your questions. Two of the main characters, Seth Bullock and Sol Star, have come to the gold miners' camp of Deadwood in order to open a hardware store catering to the miners and other townspeople...

Nonsense! I dread the day I have to rely on my friend Mark's holy priest rather than my wife's restoration druid. ;)

I have a strange urge to create Tiefling, Dragonborn, and Warforged classes for BECMI now.

Thank you, Scott, and thank you, Wizards of the Coast.

I voted "Yes" to all three, with the caveat that I often come up with settings which have a fixed list of playable races in service of a particular premise, and that these races wouldn't make the cut unless they served the premise - but, since the same rule applies to "standard" races like the...

Just as full of it as the others, too.
