Ones in which you're not such a tight-ass. Monsters sentient enough to want to do more than feast heroes try to break their spirit with all manner of curses, shrieks, or warcries, and maybe breath magical fire on them. And by "almost without fail", you must mean, "maybe half the time,"--nearly...

Hey, just be thankful he neglected to bring up Dragonborn breasts. His obsession with them has seemingly lost all vestiges of irony by this point. Great, now I'm obsessing over Wolfspider's obsession.

"Lightning strikes again; lightning strikes again and again and again!"

It's great that you've decided to share this with the rest of the class, but I'm just not sure that this information was relevant or interesting to anyone but yourself... ...you seem much more in your element discussing draconian mammaries.

I indeed was being sarcastic. I've had the misfortune of being informed that the idea I thought was rather clever has, in fact, been used in at least three other systems. I don't follow. In the system I posited, a player is allowed to evaluate their situation--and adjust their actions...

The focus of the second cover is the two adventurers, the focus of the third cover is the dragon. The subject of the Monster Manual is a rampaging monstrosity. The subject of the Dungeon Master's Guide is an unseen orchestrator. Is it not logical, then, that the third member of that triumvirate...

And I could grab a Monster Manual and run a party of Rust Monsters, or grab the Dungeons Master's Guide and run a competitive dungeon renovation game! Wait, what were we arguing about again?

You can't run a Green Dragon from the Player's Handbook. You can run a Dragonborn or Wizard from it though. Besides, having one core book feature a scene while the others focus on their subject (in an admittedly abstract fashion, in the DMG's case) ruins the symmetry.

The second. I realize the third is more 'D&D', but it's the Player's Handbook, not the Dungeons & Dragons Handbook--the focus ought to be on the player characters.

6. Call it the BIG FAT STUPID HEAD edition, 'cause that's the what the people who'd make it'd be! Welcome to EN World--I wish you wouldn't make a mockery of my thread (in before, "I wish they wouldn't make a mockery of my game").

You act like there aren't going to be dragons in the Monster Manual. Were that case, I'd be right beside you--and not just metaphorically--shaking my fist angrily at those bastards having their way with D&D. But as it stands, you seem to either be misapplying your dislike of 4E onto a single...

I think the Udon illustrations, along with adventures in which they appear, were salvaged by Wizard's when they assumed control of Dungeon and Dragon. Nothing empirical to support this, but it seems reasonable enough.

Nothing particularly anime-inspired about them, especially considering who they're by and where you found them. Compare, for instance, the Death Giant illustration to Wayne Reynolds' original. I would say though, that if you wanted to make a case as to why Dungeons & Dragons should be free of...

Will people stop bagging on my Totally Original Movement System (do not steal)! And if its so ubiquitous, why doesn't Dungeons & Dragons use it?!

Just think how many books are devoted to Dungeons though!

Perhaps it's how the focus of the green dragon fight is the monster, rather than the players. I wouldn't be surprised if the green dragon fight was the cover of the Basic Game. Weren't the covers of both versions of the Basic Game from Third Edition adventurers wrasslin' themselves up some dragons?

I stand corrected. The only issue I find with your version is perhaps the colors.

Finally a cover that conveys roleplaying drama queen's tendency to hog the spotlight. We can only assume the 'twilit blobs' are spiked-chain-wielding Factotum munchkins stealing Orcus' and the red dragon's treasure while the lapsed Vampire: The Masquerade players take time to pose for us

There are what appear to be two other characters occupying that open space. As for the green dragon fight, I'd like to see someone photoshop in the logo and information from other books. I have a vague suspicion that the resulting image would be wonky, from a graphic design standpoint.

"A respected hobbit who owns a local butcher shop known for its delicious sausages. His most defining characteristics are his charitable nature--giving scraps to the local poor and settling disputes between other businesses--and the odor of fat and blood he seems permanently to exude. There are...
