Yep, they didn't add any content, but Wizards did do a bug fix update. Announcement. That was unexpected.

What's the diffrence between a sub-class and a build? Arcane Power has builds that seem to work a lot like the Essentials sub-classes.

1. Having a character builder is good. 2. Offline building doesn't bother me. Here's the deal for me. If I'm playing a barbarian, then I'm fine only using the PHB 2 and Primal Power. If I'm missing a power or feat from Dragon, the miniatures, or some other odd source, I'm fine with that. I'm...

Skill checks as the games demands. I use skill challenges too, though I never take the time to write them up formally the way that they're written-up in DMG2. Mostly for the same reasons I don't write-up encounters in the same format presented Kobold Hall.

I've never gamed in a world that bothered me on some kind of technical level. Part of the reason is that I'm not convinced that the existence of magic would do all the weird things I've seen claimed. For example, I'm not sure that magic would be ubiquitous for NPCs. Even today, in the real...

Yeah, he should have ripped-off Adventure. "What do you mean a bat took my sword!? I only put it down because of your stupid rule that I couldn't hold both!" Or maybe not.

Here's the deal. You are... 1. Expressing a preference for not playing in a game where you play out scenarios taken whole hog from other books, movies, tv shows, etc... 2. Telling us about a time when a DM you gamed with had Mushu show up. You said you didn't like it. It is not unreasonable...

Unless you left something out, the other DM didn't recreate an entire scenario. He created an NPC based on character from a movie. You weren't playing a chinese woman dressing as man to save your aging father from being drafted. It sounds to me like your Tiefling Rogue was in the exact opposite...

I feel a strange pull, an odd desire to read this thread. Hmmmm... Ah! I see I have been summoned. 1. Fanboys are a lot happy lot. It's nice to be happy. 2. Fanboys, like everyone else, pay for what they want and don't pay for they don't want. It's just that we're happier with a wider range of...

Dude, it has a death ray. When you name something "death ray", you are not being serious. Even if it is truth in advertising.

I'll use anything that strikes my fancy. I don't think I've ever stolen a unique plot out of movie though. Mostly because I run games where the PCs are hired to do X, and don't care how you do it. I have, however, used names, places, events, mythologies, and items that were not wholly my own...

MV would have been perfect for updated monster building philosophy, but alas, it was not so! It seems that the 4e designers are making a deliberate attempt to show that monster building is an art, not a science. A noble stance, but it'd be nice to have all the info in one place.

Ah, that makes more sense.

D'oh! Repressed memory strikes again!

That makes less sense than before. Microsoft's client has a version number of 0.1.155.0? OTOH, this is the same company that started numbering NT at version 4.

It's also not out yet! It has no release date! They don't even know how much they're going to charge. All they did was announce that they were going to do a beta test and if you wanted to participate, you could sign-up and maybe be a part of it. We could get the other things on that list before...

I understand it has the lowest percentage, but it's still a lot of people. The poll originally allowed you to chose more than one thing. Thus, there are many people who chose both VTT and one of the other things. I mean, if I want X,Y, and Z in that order but you start with Z instead of X, meh...

Wait, you think it's a mistake to sell something over half your current subscriber base wanted 18 months ago? 67% is nothing to sneeze at!

Like you, I don't think it was piracy. Nor do I think it was the buy only occasionally model. For one thing, if you weren't a recurring subscriber, I suspect people bought more frequently than once every six months. You know what I think was part of it? New players. You hook a new player in...

What kind of flavor text do you want? Example 1: The little reptile hurls a chestnut size ball of sticky, gooey acid at the fighter. Example 2: As if that weren't enough, he tries a put a dagger in kidney. Example 3: Ok, that's it. Now the little ______ has had enough. He shouts a phrase in...
