I still can't believe they don't do Choose Your Own Adventure books. They hooked me on the idea of D&D years before I ever discovered it. Target them at 8 - 10 yr olds who'll be completely hooked by the time they're at the "recommended" age to get into D&D.

I'll take the dissenting opinion I guess. Let them win themselves into failure. Congratulations, Count McEvil has now been vanquished. Would you like to take over his lands? It'll mean a lifetime of fighting off political plots, assassins, and foreign powers. Of course, you could always...

Upfront I received a free copy of this game to review. I did not work on this product, but I have done playtesting for the author in the past. The Basics Killer Thriller a game of cinematic horror stupidity. Your players’ characters are the poor saps who Fate has placed in the path of a...

I haven't been able to do it yet. The budget tightened up and this is now on the Christmas list. I guess I should probably make sure my scanner still works, too. It's been in a closet for the better part of five years now.

There's a lot less violence in D&D than in just about any history book in your school. Yes, it's "zoomed in" to a closer level of detail than what you get in class. At the same time, in 20 years of gaming, we've never come close to an afternoon in the US Civil War. Edit - That's not to...

Can anyone who has Castle Ravenloft tell me whether the dungeon/board tiles come punched or in a sheet? Am I correct to assume the power, treasure, and character cards are already cut? May be kind of an odd question, I realize. I'm considering getting it, scanning it, and playing it on...

A great excuse that really doesn't apply in this case. The pdfs were made, so no new production costs. Third party vendors were selling them, so no maintenance or upkeep. All they had to do was cash the checks at the end of the month.

I can just imagine how that meeting went. "We must take action to stop these #$%^&*@ pirates! They're stopping us from making money on products we'd otherwise make absolutely no money on! Wharrrgggllbarrrrgglll!!!!"

We care because they've chosen a strange business model. With people lined up to give them money for a product that's already made, they've chosen to take none of their business. They could have had some of that money and lost the rest to piracy, but they chose getting no money instead. How...

Then, logically, they should resume pdf sales immediately. ;)

And now, if just for the span of one breath, you know what it's like to be Mike Mearls. Heck, you even got to ruin something. ;)

Chick is just a troll in print. Don't feed the troll.

All of your talent and an empty box is worth exactly one empty box. Every time you do something stupid, an imp gets its wings. The young ones barely have time to learn to walk. If your plans were any more lame, they'd be carried out on a stretcher.

Oh my <insert deity>! Mike Mearls ruined Lejendary Adventures!

I'd probably try to model them after the way bloodline feats are handled. Like the half-vampire or dhamphir or whatever they called it. A series of feats they can choose as they level up that gives them more abilities. Shifting could be handled by various stance powers. If you want them to...

Not so much friends or enemies, they're just working at cross purposes to the PCs. They think their boss will be able to use his magic book (paragon level macguffin artifact) to eventually restore them all to a regular life. Unfortunately, the PCs have been approached by a third party who...

1. The main advantage is that they're "alive". Its kind of a clockwork/alchemical version of undeath. 2. They're not actually alive. I like the idea of the modifications and systems are unreliable. 3. Time is a tough issue here. They've been in a sort of suspended animation for quite a...

That's pretty cool! I was starting from the Warforged and working outward, but that really captures the kind of thing I was after.

Definitely on-board with templates in the MB and a companion character builder. Fantastic terrain in the Compendium would be pretty cool too.

I'm working on some creatures for an adventure based on 15th level characters. I'd like to use some theme-type powers to customize some creatures. The idea is that the inhabitants of a lost city (and some nearby monsters) have been made part-living/part-machine by the adversary of the...
