    Countdown to the Realms: Magic in the Forgotten Realms

    Not so external, as the seeds of change are in fact taken from the old fluff, I heard... Cryptic hints.

    Countdown to the Realms: Magic in the Forgotten Realms

    they do have the Seldarine on their side. Also, things at times happen due to small actors. You don't need big canons to change a world. A lone, single exalted serbian killed an emperor (?) and started so a world war (well, give an excuse to start the mechanism....).

    Andy Collin's comments re censoring playtester reviews

    Also, mental illness and problems don't stop at such lines as 'professional' or 'facing public'. If stars can have bad moments, so them.

    Death and Dying: Annoying new subsystem reduces fun.

    Note that in real life, if one can die quick, there was a few stories that show that the human body can be surprisingly resiliant....

    WotC_Rodney on Ari M. and Al Qadim

    Hence why I said 'Ottoman' (turks). They can coexist well - the Calimshans are kind of 'converted' to parts of Zakharan cultures and believes and all. Like ottomans descend from turks who converted to islam long ago, and adopted the 'pan-islamic' culture bits. If not in flesh directly,weddings...

    The Possibility of "Too Fantastic" Fantasy

    Not Forgotten Realms, but any campaign setting, really. No, common NPC are barely higher in levels from GH or Eberron, really.

    D&D 4E I want 4E NOW!

    Maybe it's a part of marketting - to make the game be awaited in trepidation?

    Game rules are not the physics of the game world

    I disagree partialy - rules of a game TOUCH Physics in parts. Look by example at the strict limitations magic have in Shadowrun - you can't create matter from absolutly nothing, no teleportation, no resurection.... It's tied to natural laws.

    Hum... Isn't Thetyr Al-Andaluz and moor Spain, and Calimshan more the Ottomans?

    Andy Collin's comments re censoring playtester reviews

    Yet, that forget always one detail - stars, pr guys, politicians, etc... they remain human. And even such 'image elite' can fall. It's weird, I read between the lines... At times, the strange mix of calousness of snark plus eerie calm... There is something that eerily feels like one or two of...

    New Design & Development Article: NERD RAGE

    true ;) but seriously.... I see mental breakdown in some workers, between the lines. It's a very cruel and heartless job, facing the mean side of humanity.

    Memo to all 4th Edition Designers and Developers

    The point is, the fandumbness - some critics are irrational and plan mean, hopeless. I see frustration there. I used to be simplistic 'bad corpo vs good fandom', but things in life can be complex, and when you find the dark sides of fandoms...
