    Small, Medium, Large Weapons?

    For what is it worth, Star Wars Saga Edition has small, medium and large weapons, and only one small race (ewoks).

    Mongoose reaction to OGL/SRD

    Agreed. I found it refreshingly in its lack pretense.

    Should he recognize a rust monster? (Savage Tide Mild Spoiler)

    I agree with a Knowledge (dungeoning) check. If you don't go that way, what is the point of taking the skill. This is the one case where it is useful. If you are very generous, let the fighter roll untrained. But still you are hosing the guy that spends two skill points to buy a Knowledge...

    D&D Resolutions

    January 6th, and I've already broken all three. Maybe the campaign will start in February (getting busy 40somethings together can be such a pain), and how will I get to 1000 posts if I don't post to 4E?

    D&D 5E (2014) Critical Hits Appears to be Next in D&D Archive

    I've been really unimpressed by nearly everything that I've seen regarding 4e, but I have to admit this crit thing is interesting. It removes two extra rolls (the confirmation and the extra damage roll), and reduces the swinginess of crits. I'm not sold, but I would definitely give this...

    Petition For Wizards To Not Publish A PoL Map

    Maybe they could make a PoL map that was blank on the back. People who want the PoL map could use the map side, those that don't could use the blank side for there own map.

    Stupid feat naming: Does it really matter that much?

    Are there any good reasons for feat names like "Golden Wyvern Adept"? All the argument for them seems to be "you can change them" or "they aren't so bad". If something isn't a positive, why include it? I don't like these kind of names because (1) they don't mean anything, (2) they may give...

    Run something starting in January. Stop reading 4E threads. Use saved time to plan next campaign.

    4th ed, the Good & the Bad?

    NO MORE LEVEL DRAIN - Neutral. It is nice to have something really scary in the game, but the paperwork was annoying. NO MORE ABILITY DRAIN - Okay, but see level drain above. NO MORE SAVE-OR-DIE - Fine, but see level drain above. NO MORE ETHICAL ALIGNMENTS - Sure, seems like they would be...

    D&D 4E What incorrect 4E conclusions will people jump at?

    Or perhaps he hates people who post such conclusions.

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    Actually, I was only referencing the 'firing' thread, and I didn't realize it would be so combustible. I'm the one making the decision, so I should have written "After watching that video, my perception is that perhaps I'm no longer part of Wizards' target market."

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    I didn't say it was in any way personally directed at me. They post marketing material that doesn't appeal to me, implying their product might not appeal to me. Just business, nothing personal.

    Holiday Present - The Elf PHB entry

    This elf entry isn't bad. I'm surprised at the +2 Wis as it seems to say that elves are really good clerics. But it makes sense for elven rangers, and fits the perception and enchantment save bonuses they used to get. I'm really surprised at the reroll an attack bit. That seems out from left...

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    Okay, I watched it again. And I still don't like it. Not at all. There is no part of this video that appeals to me. I remember a thread about someone "firing their customers," and I kind of feel like that. Maybe they telling me that 4e isn't for me? Maybe I'm fired and I should stay with...

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    If you stretch the term "hostility" to fit any situation, then yes all comedy is rooted in hostility. As for the clip, I thought it was really lame. The dialog, the attempt at humor, everything. I wish I could have those minutes of my life back.

    D&D 4E What incorrect 4E conclusions will people jump at?

    13) 4E is so much better than 3.0/3.5 everyone will switch 14) There will never be a 4.5 or 5E because the designer got it perfect this time.

    Differences between 1st & 2nd Edition?

    No more level titles and "name" level.

    My, how the adventures have changed...

    GURPS measures combat time second by second. That would be one heck of a long battle in game, and in my experience no combat of this magnitude would be resolved that quickly in table time.

    First look of the Dragonborn?

    Is that a wyvern tail?

    D&D 4E Top Ten Things I've Learned on the 4e Forum

    64) When discussing 4E, humor is taken as an attack. 65) When discussing 4E, a sense of humor is required. 66) 64+65 don't mix very well. 67) There is however a new warfork.
