ROCK ON! That was *GREAT*! I did not even mind the Mohinder/Maya parts tonight-- she was reduced to eye candy, which the actress is very good at, so no more lousy acting. Mohinder moves into "The Fly" of course, but no surprises there. BUT! I did not see the rest coming *at all*. Nice to...

LOL Freakin' awesome. Buzz is the player that suggested the roleplay in combat but that I referenced in my post above, and I would bet anything that I am the player that he described above citing "dinner theater." The point here is that different folks like different aspects of the game; if...

First off, I should note that I would consider myself to have much the same preference that your wife seems to have. And, FWIW, I found the tone of your thread title to be borderline offensive-- it smacks of saying that not doing it your way is doing it the wrong way-- so maybe that attitude...

What the..?! No D&D4e?? No Star Wars SAGA?? Come on, people, it's 2008-- this is not your father's RPG! ;) J/K. Sorta. :p

I like the idea, but feel that it might be too restrictive-- having both race and class restrictions makes it very limited. I also do not like calling out "feat" specifically for Light Shield Proficiency and Chainmail Proficiency, since you might get both with a core class using the Swordmage...

I love your Mon Calamari Jedi conversion. Very slick.

I agree with Wormwood. Whether or not this is "lawful good" behavior or not does not really matter like it used to-- there are not mechanics attached to alignment anymore. Frankly, that is a good thing-- it creates a freedom to play truly different characters. And, that is the root of good...

I used a combination of drawn plans, with "highlights" built using the tiles (which are more visually interesting). For instance, the exterior walls of a room might be hand-drawn, but the entrance hallway and room/terrain features are indicated using tiles. It is ultimately about the same time...

Here is some WIP with a similar idea: http://www.mainlymedieval.com/ozpainters/viewtopic.php?t=1450

Mark- I am definitely interested in joining, but do not know my schedule yet; I am still synching up travel plans and events with my buds. I will post again when I know more! -Tom (aka Rowport)

KQ is *great*! Folks- Anybody who is on the fence about subscribing to Kobold Quarterly should absolutely do so, or at least give it a look by buying a copy. (I think it is in the big box booksellers like B&N and Borders now-- or at least that is in the works.) It is great stuff. In a year...

I see what you mean on both of your points, but actually think that the first may be able to counter the second. Adding a lot of the D&D specific IP would differentiate it from a LOTR film, especially the Far Realm oddities like Illithids or Abeloths. You could even use Drow, although I think...

"...You should save your blogs by copying that text somewhere else. "

Jester- I find this tremendously interesting, for by complete coincidence I did *exactly the opposite*. I just rebuilt my Tiefling Wizard as a Tiefling Warlock. My reasoning is that I kept playing the Wizard as a Striker, choosing single-target spells, and was dissatisfied both by his lame...

I am deeply in love with Melech the Red. But, of course, it is a manly kind of love. The kind of love with brothers slapping each other's shoulders in congratulations over their recent slaughter. I guess reading this thread is a bit like watching "The 300." Nice.

GET BACK TO WORK, BUZZ! YOUR FIENDISH-PACT MASTER HAS SPOKEN! :D

LOL Pretty funny. Not only did Cadfan beat my post, but even used the "excel" wording.

I am confused by your post. AFAIK, your examples here *are* about game balance! You posit the classic rock/paper/scissors scenerio, where under the right conditions a certain class excels, so all are balanced as a whole. Personally, I think this is a good thing, 4e or other game. Otherwise...

With some photoshopping on the color, this might work: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=163121 This might be a good color guide: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=178349 Both pics are by DMAC (Darren Calvert) who stuff is great.

Ari- From my perspective, 3.5 was a poor multiclassing system, since it was clear that a 50/50 class split was *never* as powerful as a 100 core class (at least with any casting classes in the mix). You are very right that kludges like prestige classes and/or feats improved the situation but...
