And sadly, it'll never happen because it would be just as easy to make unofficial versions of official books and distribute them for free, removing the need for a DDI subscription for many people.

I find the '1 Tip for a Flat Belly' ads disturbing for some reason. They disgust me enough that if they're on a page I'm going to be on for any amount of time (e.g. a post I want to read), I need to reload the page to get rid of them... I think it's the red necklace, or whatever the hell that's...

I'm a big fan of Eberron. For something a bit more esoteric, how about Ghostwalk?

The reckless stance dice also have faces with 2 successes, as well as faces with failures, meaning that they tend to roll really, really well or really, really poorly.

I'd disagree a bit... The damage you do is fairly static. Weapon damage + characteristic score (str or agi). The results you roll can modify that a bit, but usually don't add more than a few points of damage and I don't think I've seen anything that reduces the damage you do. On the topic of...

I actually recall many of the 3e supplement 'series' having some internal consistency. For example, the Complete & Races of... series had the same style and color, the Forgotten Realms books each had the same style and color; Eberron books had identical stylings but varying colors. Off the top...

I wasn't bothered by it, until you pointed it out. So thanks a lot for that. :p I demand WotC issue errata on the color of their book spines!

Your main question's been answered already, so I hope you'll forgive me going off topic a bit to impart some valuable wisdom. You do indeed have the ability to search. Go to google, and use "site:enworld.org" to restrict the google search to this site. For example, a search on site:enworld.org...

Rules light Iron Heroes? I guess if you were to play that game, the only appropriate refreshments would be alcohol-free beer, soy cheese, and diet caffeine-free cola that's been left out long enough to go flat. Seriously, Iron Heroes is a game that's all about a complex and involved system. If...

That pedantry is acceptable and noted. Indubitably. Never let facts get in the way of a good story.

The context of that conversation was an online game, which would indeed be a little difficult to pull off if not everyone had their own copy. It could probably be done, though.

In the beginning, there was Tolkien; and there was a great nerd rage because Asmor said Tolkien was a hack and the LotR sucks and Asmor only wrote this sentence so there could be no silly pedantry about him forgetting Tolkien. In the beginning of things which are worth caring about, there was...

They're not really integrated, aside from tone (to wit: Warhammer is a dark and grim setting, and combat in this game is appropriately brutal and unforgiving). Some of the careers aren't exactly generic (e.g. Troll Slayer), but they're pretty easily transplantable to any setting. The races...

The way range works as written, characters in close range of each other are all in the same 'area' and can engage in melee with each other but are not necessarily so engaged. In D&D terms, they'd all be within a single move (i.e. five or six squares) of each other. Medium range is a little bit...

The range system is honestly not that hot. More complicated than it needs to be, methinks. Ran my first game of it last night, and sort of glossed over the distances with the exception of engagements. I was surprised how much trouble my players had with the concept of an engagement. I think in...

You don't have to. It's simple enough to just blindly figure out the result of the roll (more hammers than crossed swords? You succeeded. More birdies than skulls, or vice versa? You've got boons or banes). But the option's there. In practice, I doubt you'd do this terribly often. I can see...

I just discovered Gratuitous Space Battles and it's really quite cool. Basically, you design your own ships, set them into formations, and give them orders (e.g. escort this ship, be cautious, prioritize damaged targets, etc). Then you just sit back and watch as your fleet squares off against...

Finally got a chance to sit down and read the Tome of Adventures (analagous to DMG)... and I think this one page should be sufficient to make any roleplayer salivate for WHFRP 3e. http://asmor.com/images/post/09-12-25/whfrp3edicepoolinterpretation.jpg btw, the pic is rather large, so if your...

On the astral plane, they find Cyre, un-ravaged by the mourning.
