I've started playing Lord of the Rings Online. One of the classes is the Captain, which is how I view the Warlord. The Captain is a pretty tough fighter in his own right, but in a group he has several potent buffs. He can even heal people after a fight. In addition, the Captain is a "pet"...

1 day per caster level for raise dead. So, he's fine... if the party can find an epic cleric who's past level 100.

I don't envy your position, Erik. Your post on the Paizo boards sounded very frustrated and even a little bitter, but then, if my livelihood and that of over two dozen other people depended on getting the 4E rules, I'd imagine I'd have similar feelings that might come through in my writings...

I'll buy the first one (or make strong hints that it's an appropriate Christmas gift). If I like it enough, I'll buy the second one. I've bought art books before, for more, and I expect to get a bit more information out of these than the art books.

Besides thinking that the PHB and the MM were supposed to have the same page count? Looks like Amazon hasn't put a discount on the DMG, but I'm pretty sure that will come.

Mostly as written. I typically don't have a party of four, so that requires some adjustment. And I've been running Age of Worms and Savage Tides as gestalt, so of course that necessitates some changes. Also, since I hand out additional feats to the PCs, I'll give important NPCs access to these...

Hard cover or soft?

I haven't looked closely at the encounters, but check the map on page 22- those are 10 foot squares, not 5 foot. Probably still some tight area, but maybe not as bad as it looks at first glance.

I think it's this one: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=359284

It's something that's come up in my games. PCs are often ready to get resurected because they still have something to finish, but most people are in a better place; in a way, it's selfishness on the part of the living to try to raise them. This strip is making me feel very guilty about some of...

It's not a D&D term; I've seen it applied to many RPGs, to boardgames, and to videogames. Please don't use "retarded" as a pejorative. You might have a point, but using it such puts you on the same level as someone who dismisses something as "gay".

D&D does not use WoW jargon. WoW uses lots of D&D jargon. Hope that clears things up. On the main topic, sounds cool, but I can't wait to see how it actually works.

Gish comes from the original Fiend Folio (AD&D 1E) entry for the Githyanki, and I think was supposed to be a term from their native language. The Githzerai has "zerth" (iirc) for the same combo, though it never seemed to catch on. It's something of an odd word, but in a discussion, think of how...

I tried doing that, then hit a cap on Favorites. Maybe they've fixed that? And Solice had a post linking to all the staff blogs, and I think she's an auto-favorite for everyone.

And the name is gone: http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=14071597&postcount=22 Also, it seems most of the names won't be of the 9 Swords style.

Haven't had any problem with Firefox. I go to Gleemax, click on Forums under Community, and I'm there.

Yes. Especially as characters start growing out adventuring in their backyard and start moving out in the world. There is something to be said for a handful of heroes making a difference, but there's also something to be said for holdings and armies. To go with this, I hope there are also some...

Not yet. I expect any 3.X games I still have running after launch will incorporate parts of 4E, but my current house rules work fine. As for 4E, I'll need to read the rules, see how they work, and see how they work in play before I make any changes. I remember one of my players talking about...

Different strokes. I found it entertaining and it made me regret not buying her book for my wife's birthday.

No? I've replied to a comment Jürgen made in my blog, and have carried on a couple discussion with Merric in his and mine. Just start typing in that white block at the bottom of the page. It doesn't thread the comments, so conversations might get a little jumbled. I should be making notes about...
