I think the difference between the male and female D&D artwork got left over from older versions of the game where most - if not all - of the players were male and played male characters. Females characters on the other hand, were mostly - if not entirely - NPCs. So the males in the artwork...

Gary, (Sorry to interrupt the "+1 sword" discussion - I'm interested in hearing that answer as well, but...) I've noticed that this seller on Ebay seems to have an inexhaustable supply of 3x5 cards with autographs from "Inventor Dungeons & Dragons Gary Gygax" on them. They aren't signed TO...

I disagree. I mean, how can we possibly decide we don't want this brand new thread when we haven't even seen what it might eventually contain? With nothing solid yet to base an opinion on, I say no one is allowed to express a negative opinion about this thread until we wait a year or so and...

How about just clarifying the term by always proceeding the word "race" with the word "fantasy." The rules could say something like: "The Dungeons and Dragons world is populated with many different fantasy races, like elves, dwarves and orcs. Each fantasy race has different advantages and...

I vote to completely get rid of both Take 10 and Take 20. If a player is in a position to be able to roll a check over and over, it should be up to the DM to decide "fine, you keep trying and eventually you succeed." It's really just a gamplay issue, for speeding up play and moving the story...

Yeah? Well I just traveled into the future 18 months ahead of where you traveled into the future and got myself the 4.5E player handbook. So your 4E player handbook is now completely worthless and obsolete! :p

Re-drawing over the lines with the same wet erase markers can sometimes "soften" the old ink, making it easier to clean. Then use automotive vinyl upholstry cleaner available at auto parts stores. (3M makes a good one, I'm sure there are other brands. There also used to be a product called...

Cool. Thanks.

Has Wizards confirmed that the online content is OPTIONAL? Or is the 4E player handbook going to give character creation options, and then say "to finish creating your character, you MUST sign in to your D&D Insider user account and use the online character creator to print out a character...

I'm still hoping this is some overly elaborate hoax, done by Wizards as a publicity stunt to get people to STOP worrying about 4E. But I'm afraid I'm probably wrong... :(

Wikipedia has some pretty extensive information on all things D&D. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_&_Dragons

I've got to second this. I liked the idea that some monsters were meant to be rarer than others. It made it seem like the monsters lived in a real ecological system. And it looks like the MMV has even dropped the Organization entry ("Number Appearing" in the old days) and replaced it with...

I'm thinking it's Fallout. There must be a motive behind Bethesda software suddenly cancelling Glutton Keeper's license to produce a RPG version of the computer game Fallout. And why take back the license if they're not going to do something with it? With Fallout 3 coming to consoles and PCs...

See my post above.

Actually the fact that something is an opposed check does not ALWAYS mean that it involves distraction or threats. But in the case of hide/move silently it does. Your example of Disguise is correct because the PC works on a disguise IN ADVANCE, and later on someone gets a chance to see through...

You're exactly right. A Hide check is an opposed roll made by the person you're trying to hide from. A Move Silent check is an opposed roll made by the person who might hear you. Miss the check once and you are heard/seen. So by their very nature, Hide and Move Silently cannot be used with...

Here's a thread for a "D20 Dune" system on the WOTC boards: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=225679

I've got an idea. Since their site seems to go up and down all the time, maybe Wizards should consider publishing content in a printed magazine format rather than depending entirely upon digital distribution. ;)

I'd rename and reuse the pregens and explain away the duplicate stats by having the characters be identical twins. Less work creating and keeping track of different characters, and an interesting role-playing spin at the same time. Three sets of identical twin PCs + the birthday girl's...

The problem isn't railroading. The problem is players KNOWING that they're being railroaded. Railroading needs to stay safely hidden behind the DM screen. Let's say I've worked on a specific dungeon for tonight's game. I put it right outside the village where the PCs are staying. If the PCs...
