I did a door in 3.5. It had a slam attack.

To be fair, I think he was responding to my mention of Gamma World, and the fact that between now a January, Wizards is releasing two boardgames.

I don't think they would lose any sales if the previews included enough information to make a level 1 PC. I suspect the reason they didn't was because they don't think the changes are as drastic as we do. Bill Slavicsek and Mike Mearls are game designers. I suspect they change the rules all...

Wait, you mean this Time Cube? That's only a possible exception? That's just low. If you wanted to insult it, you should have the decency to just swear at the designers and insult their mothers.* In all seriousness, I see your point. I've never had trouble finding information, but I see what...

Books are just a subset of items. :p

The only reason I hesitate is that I'm wondering if some of those class features are daily non-attack powers. I agree.

Sorry Mister Anderson (insert voice of Hugo Weaving here), the best D&D book was made for 2e, it's called Creative Campaigning. The second best book is also for 2e, it was called The World Builder's Guidebook. Great stuff. P.S. I believe you can download the art for the cards from that...

Well, this is going to make a lot of people (even me, the eternal WotC fanboy) happy: While I like the fighter the way it was, I still feel that this is an improvement. The preview is, as the others were, up for all to see. I didn't see anything that they didn't get dailies, but I suspect...

Good catch! I never (even when we switched over from 3.5) used that XP system. However, I did switch over the to the level independent xp system in Unearthed Arcana. I think it's easy to miss something when talking about 4e disenchantment. 4e is Wizards' attempt to get back the people who were...

Just to point out, the 3e Realms introduced a lot more than rules for what Region you were from. The introduced the Level Adjustment rules (along with their compliments, Character Level and Effective Character Level) and Epic level rules. Those rules later got their own supplements, at the end...

I like the rule. I'm not sure why anyone would be upset at a rule that encourages people to carry multiple weapons. Isn't that what you would expect in a world with highly breakable weapons?

I sugest you read Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser books. IIRC, Dark Horse just republished the series. The first book is Swords and Deviltry. The books are collections of short stories originally published in magazines, so they have a very different feel them than modern fantasy.

So your saying that buying PDFs of older editions of D&D is a low priority on many people's lists? Nah, you don't need an infinite amount of money, just enough to get the products you want. My point is that even at dirt cheep prices, PDFs of older editions of D&D are a very low priority to many...

I've been thinking about this, why didn't they get them when they were available? Wizards had those PDFs up for sale for years. At dirt cheep prices. There's a finite selection of old material. Surely it was easy, within that time frame, to buy all the PDFs necessary for your favorite edition...

Sorry, the fact that it's going to take over a month for it to arrive threw me.

I suspect you meant July 21st. I know it's winter for you guys down there, but I'm fairly certain that you guys are on the same month I am. Anyways, I hope you like it.

Well, they are putting out a monster book. Essentials is going to have Mike from Shortpacked!?

Probably.

Because it suggests that shadow powers can be taken by classes that don't have the shadow power source.

That's what I'm thinking. Combine that with cantrips, and I can have a lot of fun.
