Given how caustically everyone jumps all over his ass the minute the electronic registration is up (and buggy), I'm surprised Mr. Adkinson offers anything but "first come - first served at the door" for all events. With fans like this...

Half-elf must go Half elves combine the worst of both races. By this I mean half-elves get so little of the benefits of either race that it makes no sense to be one. The only reason I've seen anyone play a half-elf is to be able to say they are an elf and perhaps play that angsty "to elves...

Bye Bye Power Attack Judging from the responses, I can tell most of you are voting from the persepctive of *players*. Min/Maxing the hell out of your feats to squeeze as much power as you can out of the borderline munchkin build if your DM will let you get away with it. From a DM's...

Ditto. Of all the Feats listed for elimination thus far, this is the only one that both rules lawyers and munchkins alike manage to abuse in equal numbers.

Not so simple Your poll answers leave something to be desired. I do not play non-d20 games, but it is not so negative as you might think. I have time for one game a week. And even that is pushing it. Since I have time for only one, and D&D is my favorite, that is the one. (Unless you want...

Proper burial One of the PCs is a monk of Wee Jas. He insists on taking sentient foes (well, formerly sentient) outdoors, facing their heads to the north, and then burning them. This does not sit well to the cleric of Al-Akbar in the group, who does not favor cremation. However, he is from...

Polling Tip If you're going to make a poll, each of the choices should be mutually exclusive. The only two that could not (truthfully) be used together are A and D. But it is certainly possible that someone could have never done it, and know people that do, and have players that do.

I don't mind the crunch, but the bloated proliferation of PrCs is ridiculous. From the comments of my own players to the comments I see on this and the WotC message boards, you'd think that the PrC is a right every player automatically gets. Seven PrCs in Sandstorm is not enough? I say it's...

I don't think 4e is "just around the corner" but when it gets here, I would like to see it keep d20. The circumstances under which people say they need to use different dice does not change the base mechanic. We have six dice in D&D, and there are reasons to use each of them. Mass combat...

Re: Greyhawk content Cholke, I interpretted his comments on the Greyhawk content as being too little and too late. This book has Greyhawk content, but Greyhawk is so unsupported as a setting that it seems out of place. As a 23-year player in Greyhawk, I am not sure I *want* Wizards adding...

I have read many reviews on ENWorld, and have to comment on this one... Using the same system the reviewer uses, I would end up giving this review a 5.0 Among the best I have ever read. I enjoy being taken for the ride through the reviewer's thought process, and feel the criteria by which...

Pathping Hold-up Doing a ping on the WotC Boards indicates it should work. Doing a tracert indicates it should work. Doing a pathping identifies a block at all of the XYZ.ip.att.net points. beginning with attga.ip.att.net for me, but also blocked at: wswdc, n54ny, cb1ma It looks like WotC is...

I voted "Words can't describe [...]" since the only idea I was able to see was: So how stupid is this idea? Given no other information, I went with what I knew...someone was having a poll to see how stupid people think it is to have polls with no information. Which reiterates the request...

I took the map of Greyhawk, and made everything in it my own, starting with a storyline concept, and then fleshing it out with a mix of homemade and published adventures that "fit". So neither choice really fits.

Power creep is not an "edition phenomenon". It is the nature of non-core material. (diaglo, Were there any OD&D supplements?) Basic supplements gradually pushed the power envelope. (Expert and Immortals were core power envelope pushes!) 1e supplements gradually pushed the power envelope. 2e...

Not me, but one of my Players One of the players in my group will never touch a DM's dice, and will not let the DM touch his dice. Further, he will not let any other player in the group use his dice if, at any time, they have opted to use the DM's dice. Although he brings the largest...

Which of the Above? If I answer "yes" what am I answering yes to? Yes, I roll behind a screen; or Yes, I roll in front of my players.

Today I cast my vote on the "What would you let your players buy" poll that greeted me at the front page of the News -- my first stop when I visit ENWorld each morning. After I cast my vote, I went to read the discussion. It was only then that I see the stipulations to the poll, which would...

Chalk up another poll to the "I don't know how to make a poll" crowd. If somebody marks the fourth choice ("What? Are you stupid") are you assuming that to be the same as the second choice? If someone doesn't get what you mean, which spot do you assume they marked? Polls should be informative...

None of the Above My gaming and my hospitality are independent of each other in their formation and development. My gaming makes use of my hospitality, but does not form it, and is not formed by it. So... I couldn't vote in this poll.
