Like most people, I want 5e to take what I think is the best of previous editions and bring it forward. So this is basically a list of what I think is the best... 4e math. Really good game design in stable math that steadily progresses throughout the levels but not so rapidly that low level...

Have you tried adding rust monsters? But seriously, sounds like a perfectly passable base scenario, just make the surrounding more impressive. Have the goblins live in a volcano rumored to be the remnants of an ancient dragon egg after it hatched and litter it with wingless red drakes that...

I imagine your DM puts a lot of effort into writing engaging adventures because he believes that is what you guys enjoy. Evidently, he is at least partially wrong; this is usually a communication (not an ability or willingness) issue. I would phrase it positively--"Hey, we've really enjoyed the...

I like the simplicity because I believe that simple tools are used often and used well whereas a more precise tool that goes unused is worthless. I'd present it in a table: Heroic Paragon Epic Supra-Epic Easy 10 20 30 40 Moderate 15 25 35 45 Hard 20 30 40 50 Very hard 25...

Small industry doesn't have to mean small revenue. This is a small enough industry that people get to know each other, that brings relationships into it, and respecting relationships is an important part of business. I also did not paint Wizards as "damned," I said the actions of others is...

I think you misunderstand. What I said is that it is rather damning that so few people in the RPG industry trust Wizards enough to invest money in products for fear that Wizards would unilaterally force them to destroy all their product, resulting in massive losses to the publisher. If you feel...

Really interesting topic. I'd say the only other one I can think of is Star Wars with the Force which is sort of the equivalent. The details of Force in Saga are evading me at the moment... I think the way magic is done can say a lot about it. Wheel of Time feels very different than 4e magic...

Check out my earlier post SabreCat was responding on-- this was sarcasm building in the same direction. Probably should have included more emoticons.

Well, if 4e weren't so much like a videogame the item wouldn't have had that limitation and it would have worked just fine...

Another good answer but, like Raven's, there is a better fit.

I've never lied but I generally don't go out of my way to let people know what I do. I'll usually just say that I am hanging out with friends or the equivalent. No one pushes and that is usually the end of it.

I'm not too shook up about it. The colors don't bother me but I'm interested why it doesn't say "Community Supporter" beneath my name. Other than that I really just wanted the products and they are the same regardless the color of my name.

Yeah, I've downloaded files and made other changes exclusive to subscribers. It has taken effect but it does not show.

In this thread I posted a few generators that help introduce linguistics to the world. The general idea is that you'd create a tab for each region of the world and settle upon a lexicon. So Region A could create names by a composite of words, Region B could use harsh syllables, and Region C...

This is one of the rare instances where I think it is more sinister than that. If you want your materials to be compatible with 4e, the easiest way is to include the compatibility logo. But inclusion of that logo allows WotC to revoke your license and demand you immediately destroy all materials...

Just became a subscriber (despite the fact that it doesn't show under my name). Question--do my XP votes update to 3x or do I have to go back and give GG additional up-votes to give him his due credit under my now more pronounced standing?

I think Age of Worms (admittedly Dungeon) set off the height of Dragon and Dungeon magazines. The idea of an adventure path was a new concept and integrating Dragon into it encouraged the idea that players and DMs collaborated to make a campaign and game world. For me, that was the height of the...

I'd recommend around the same time you explain Hack isn't real. Hack and Slash do, after all, go together.

Nothing too impressive just yet. Added additional water features. I've been toying with cliffs to simulate plateaus or ridges but so far nothing is simple enough to be repeatable. I'll continue sharing any breakthroughs and look forward to any revelations of the community.

Sounds like a great use of an item! I feel like this is the type of thing all the "We can't RP in 4e" and "Earlier editions were more creative" threads pine towards. Some of the arguments have merit, but this is definitely a counter example that proves the spirit of D&D lives in players, not...
