    D&D 4E 4E at the printers...but we don't see it until June?

    The very first step of sending a book to the printer is to get proofs back. There's a 2 day turn around for that and the full-run is printed. Many full-color hardback books are printed over seas (re: China) it takes about 2 months for the books to reach the States, then you have to distribute...

    After the Bomb (2001)

    I was a fan of the original but haven't seen the new one yet. I've been checking the local stores, but nothing. I'm not up for ordering it as it's just to read over, but still. Mutant animals. You can't go wrong. M&M. You can't go wrong.

    Star Wars vs D&D playtest!

    D'oh! D'oh! In the original version he didn't need to yet, but should have. Considering the above, let's run through the last few rounds again... The Jedi uses Force Disarm to pull the dwarves weapon out of his hand. Roll: 25! A hit. The dwarves warhammer tugs out of her hand, flying...

    Star Wars vs D&D playtest!

    First off, this is just late night silly time fun. Don't panic. Second, I know the systems are different. But I wanted to see how the "powered" pregens performed again the Jedi. With their force powers being per encounter and some of the trained bits of Use the Force, I thought they would match...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Annoucement!

    EDIT: Sorry I was agreeing with you but being snarky. The issue is how much does 4E take from the SRD/OGL, anything that's covered in the OGL is still there, even if it's also in the GSL. There just seem to be some minor changes that could easily be derived from OGL material that are 4E...

    WOTC, Scott, Where in the World is the GSL

    Sure, they were handed the mantle... and what was the first thing they did? Altered it. Changed it. There are people who are switching to 4E no matter what, those sales are lost to Paizo. There are people who are sticking with 3.x no matter what, those sales are now lost to Paizo. So who exactly...

    WOTC, Scott, Where in the World is the GSL

    What? Are you serious? What percent of the total 3.5 adventures market do you think Paizo has now? The only way they come out ahead is if they don't lose customers or gain them. Check the poll about this. One-hundred votes that are pro 4E, fifteen that could be pro Pathfinder. Most people...

    Pathfinder 1E PPP (Post Pathfinder Poll)

    164 votes, and 15 that will or might go for Pathfinder. Say goodbye to the profit margin.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Annoucement!

    No they haven't. And no, we can't. Sure, we can provide input, but at some point they will have to decide which choice to make. Spend five minutes on this forum or theirs, everyone has a different opinion on what is the best way to proceed, the best choices, the best parts of other OGL games to...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Annoucement!

    I think this was a good choice on their part, but not for the reasons some have stated here. With WotC abandoning 3.x for 4E and so many players apparently decrying that change, there would have eventually been some company that came out with sustained support for 3.x. It might as well be...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo being mysterious

    Why is everyone assuming that if Paizo picks up the GSL they will no longer support 3.x? There's nothing stopping them from supporting both. Especially if there's a market. If these boards are any indication, Paizo could pick up WotC's slack by playing both sides of the fence.

    Rodney Thompson: Non-Combat Encounters

    I'm so glad that Gleemax owns my brain. Considering how crap-tastic Gleemax is, would anyone consider posting the blog here?

    New podcast...

    The podcast was recorded on 4 March 2008, at that time the adventures were not going to be released. They are available to RPGA Herald-level DMs though. If you sign-up to run an RPGA event then you can download them a few weeks before the release of the core set. Otherwise, you're out of luck...

    Picture of the Core Rules Gift Set...

    Considering the page count (PHB 320; MM 288; DMG 224) there's something wrong with that pic. Also, for those ordering from Amazon, what's there delivery like? Am I getting it on the 6th, or are they shipping it on the 6th? I'm willing to shell out the difference to get it on release rather...

    Design & Development: Warlord Article UP!

    That's a perfect example of the other extreme. I wouldn't want that either. Somewhere between that kind of silliness and the silliness of "Iron Dragon Charge" there has to be some middle ground.

    Design & Development: Warlord Article UP!

    But, if that assumption is true, why not simply describe them that way. If it's about buffing call it a "bolstering x" or an "encouraging x" or a "coordinating x." There's no need to use descriptive names this badly. Go check again, onslaught is not a tactical term. It's a "fierce or...

    Design & Development: Warlord Article UP!

    That article made two things crystal clear in my mind: 1. I love the warlord. 2. WotC sucks at naming powers. I am a 4E lover and can't wait to play, but the more I find out about it, the more I see where the anime/video game haters are coming from. If they're going for tactical leader the...

    15:30 "With the Dungeons of Dread pre-pre-pre-release they have the (4th edition) creature stats from the RPG side." Really? Where the hell are those?

    Here! Edit: Nice. I was in before the damned podcast was uploaded. The link to the article works, but there's no podcast yet. Damn.

    D&D 4E ConQuest Sac- 4e Demo!!!

    Cool. Have fun and learn from XP. Get real close with your camera phones and don't take pics at an angle. Notes, notes, notes. And scans if possible.
