Great point! That's definitely on my agenda, too. My goals are threefold: -reduce/eliminate NPC magic items. -eliminate most of the big 6. For some reason I can buy into magic swords and armor, but the stat boosters, natural armor amulets, etc bug me. -reduce the amount of magic item...

Spammers are minions, since with a couple of clicks I can delete all their posts...

Can this be extrapolated to the effects of items and the Big Six items? Reason I ask is for my next game I'm considering giving out a feat per level (as per the BOXM 1 & 2) and using action points (per UA), and I'm wondering if this would allow me to reduce the amount of magic drastically...

They may not have any legal responsibility, but anything written for D&D is going to reflect on the brand of D&D - most people won't know or care that a BOEF (just as an example) was put out by a third party and not WoTC. It has the potential to reflect poorly on them, and as a result they'd...

I'm guessing that has to do with WotC as an independent company when the OGL came out and Hasbro being the parent company now. Most big corporations are Delaware corporations (if they're not Bermuda by this point). I can't imagine it had any impact at all.

I think some things do need to be immune to certain kinds of energy - fire elementals being a great example. I don't see the need for a Red Dragon to be immune, or even have more than small amount of resistance. The problem to me, in 3E at least (not terribly familiar with 4E) is that there...

HP has a pretty decent rep for computers, and you can buy them just about anywhere - from Best Buy to Wal-Mart to online. I know a lot of people who dislike Dell intensely, and Gateway has a poor rep. Fresno seems like the likeliest place for you, after a quick look at Google Maps.

Any list of traps is going to have a lot of things that won't appeal to one person or another. I find that I cast aside at least 50% of what I got out of the Grimtooth's books, but that doesn't mean they weren't golden. Same applies to this thread. Pbartender does make a good point that its a...

I like that - you could also use Skill Challenges in the invention process (especially useful if you have multiple PC's who can contribute).

The sovelier-sage SRD has (or at least had) a zip file version so that you didn't need to go to that extra effort - I use it on my laptop when I run game. My main things are: -Laptop with SRD, initiative tracker, campaign history and notes - I can bring my enture campaign notes and history to...

Some information is fine - we've seen people post lists, tables of contents, things like that, and that's OK. Its when people start posting full text of articles or complete feats that it becomes an issue.

We do not allow redistribution of WOTC IP - or anyone's for that matter. It's the quickest ticket to a ban there is. OK, maybe not the quickest (we have some folks who work really hard to get banned really fast) but it's right up there. -Kid Charlemagne, ENWorld Mod

If either ferratus or Galloglaich continue, they will be thread-banned. It's not nice to ignore Mr. Mod.

Let's keep the (millenia-old) religious debate to a minimum - I'd hate to see this very interesting thread go too far off-topic. Some discussion of the medieval Church and its relationship to Science is probably unavoidable here but let's not overdo it. Kid Charlemagne, your mildly-rebuking...

There are two things that I find often are left out of discussions about this subject - the first is demographics. How many wizards are there in the world and of what level? In my games, there may be 10 wizards per 1,000 people (actually in my world its 1 wizard per 357 people), and even fewer...

Drothgery - tone it down, or leave the thread. Disagreeing is fine, but your tone has been over the top - such as in this post. -Kid Charlemagne, ENWorld Mod

I booked it from the link on this page... Gen Con LLC Indy 2009: Indy Housing and Travel Information

I went to the gencon.com link at 12 ET sharp, and got through to the site no problem. I'm not sure what was up with that - several people have reported having problems doing the exact same thing I did...

You might want to take a look at the Northern Crown setting. Its set in a fictionalized New World, and one of the classes is the Natural Philosopher - he gets inventions instead of creating magic items, and they set the inventions at certain gold piece and level limits, so that as you get more...

This is the key. Superhero films were campy up until directors came along who had grown up with modern comics and knew that they didn't have to be that way. The same thing applies to D&D. I also agree with those who say leave out "D&D" from the title. WoTC should approach this like Marvel...
