Personally, I don't want realism in a fantasy game with spells and dragons. I want the archer to be able to bank a shot off one bad buy into another or shoot 4 arrows at once or magically turn his arrows into ice bolts.... it's heroic! This is what I want when I play: YouTube - Futurama -...

If you ever come out to Pasadena, I'd be more than happy to run a game for you to demonstrate. It really can be fast, you just have to keep people on task. It's the same in 3.x/pathfinder, when the guy playing the sorcerer is pouring over his spell selections things slow down, or the iterative...

Can't you "sheep" or "ice" bad guys in WoW? Isn't that crowd control? I don't equate 4E to MMOs, mainly because you still have a DM who describes the action. If pathfinder could get away from referencing things in books so that I wouldn't have to look it up I would probably DM it a lot...

I'll say this, I DM almost exclusively 4E, and when I have a table of people who know the rules and their characters, it's the same speed as the Pathfinder game I play in. However, when I tried my hand at DMing Pathfinder, I stumbled a bit and the combat took a little longer because a) I...

AD&D -> 3.x: Death of THAC0. At one point I had a computer that did all the table lookups for me (TRS-80) which really sped things up, but still... ick. 3.5 -> 4E: Monster stat blocks being decoupled from player rules... because I no longer need to lug along a monster manual AND a players...

Come to our FLGS. It's an internet free zone, and will probably remain that way. :/

My preference would be to sell products separate from the boxes. The boxes are spiffy looking but I sure wish I could have purchased the Essentials monster book without all those pogs I have no use for.

Combined magazines = not my ideal way to do things. I like having adventures in a separate magazine, but it really doesn't matter I guess... since the adventure isn't much anyhow. Online or PoD isn't something I want / need, though others could probably use it. I would prefer it remain as a...

I see this every day at my work. We have a team of developers who know Visual Studio very well, but ask them to take a look at something written in a different language on a different platform and they give me the deer in headlights look. If only WotC would have taken my suggestion and...

When I saw the topic, I thought of this: YouTube - D&D Monster Man (Comedy Experiment 001) But really, here is what I wish... that you could buy the book without the pogs. I'll admit it's nice for someone who doesn't have 2000 minis at home (plus I own Klaus's works of art for when I travel)...

...and I love being right (sometimes). I still owe you a beer whenever I run into you, you make sure to hold me to it.

I really just have a couple major concerns about security with the site, simple things they could do to build my confidence. The performance and bugs will be worked otu in time, yes. However, I pointed these out and have yet to hear of any action or plan of action for them: * Wrap sessions in...

Well, I am a DDI subscriber, but not for much longer. With all the recent changes with DDI and Living Forgotten Realms really has pushed me away as a customer. With all the recent changes to LFR, it has come to the point where I can't get hardly any LFR games at my monthly meetup...

I will give bonus points for my wizard named $username' or '1'='1' not crashing the server or exposing anything good. But I just noticed that you cannot copy/paste... not huge but really? I can't copy / paste my characters name into a web browser?

The fact that you are even seeing a verbose error message like this is a bit of a problem in my opinion. Really, stuff like this should never be exposed, only a cryptic error message and perhaps a code, but the rest should just be quietly logged somewhere to be reviewed.

Danny was saying it should not be visible I think, that it appears when you touch something. Perhaps middle grounds is this, the beholder is in stasis, trapped inside the golden energy beams, and it gets released when they grab the idol (or whatever the maguffin is) at which time it is...

Yep, LFR is a good choice for 4 hours of gaming. There are some fun stories in the collection. I just ran LURU 2-3 "Forgotten Crypts, Hidden Dangers", which has lots of roleplay opportunities and a pretty decent plot. It's a pretty fast mod though, I think we did it in 3.5 hours. If you need...

Need some sort of a terrain obstacle, something the beholder can float right over but the players have to traverse. At the same time, something needs to come out of that crevasse to harass spell casters. I am thinking a swarm of some kind, beetles... millions of them!

How much game time are you expecting to have available total? I can think of some shorter 4 hours ones and some that would run in a 8-12 hour time frame.
