    Best way to teach 4e?

    Well, part of it depends on the group of people you're playing with. A group of well experienced players may want one thing, where a group of novices may be best suited to something else. And a mixed group may need a mixed approach. You could try the desert island amnesiacs scenario, where...

    When is a campaign setting no longer relevant?

    Oh my, how many are false, and how many are true. Some like 9 are spot on, while 21 and 22 make me laugh in how they're not quite accurate. I'm a bit worried about number 16 though.

    When is a campaign setting no longer relevant?

    Something a bit contradictory there? But I think it's important to recognize a distinction between lingering appeal and ongoing viability. I'll use the car analogy. There are folks who love classic cars, right? They spent lots of money on them. It's a big appeal to some folks. This...

    Two examples out of how many examples of fantasy fiction though? There may be some timeless classics that are the exception and manage to endure, but I think more are ground under the press of history.

    And for that matter, many literary settings have themselves undergone reboots, or the author has effectively said "I know all of you like this, but I'm done now, so I'm moving on" when the time came. Occasionally this has riled up some of their fans as well. Mercedes Lackey is one victim of...

    Great D&D Campaign Blunders

    Really? You didn't just put the sad smiley down when you meant something more jocular? If so, then what you need to do is read some Knights of the Dinner Table comics. Failing that, the summary here tells the story reasonably well.

    When is a campaign setting no longer relevant?

    While this part is true, there's a little thing called the Eugenics Wars that was said to have occurred in the mid-90s. This was referenced in the original series episode Space Seed which had some of the survivors in cryo-sleep. And while Zefram Cochrane appeared in the original series episode...

    When is a campaign setting no longer relevant?

    Y'know, when I think of some of the older campaign settings, I think of historical tours and other things where you can see how folks lived in ye old tymes. Some of that stuff may be briefly entertaining, but I'll just as soon pass on a lot of it. Other parts of it, well, they'd still be...

    That monster barrel seems interesting, but it could be problematic for some games.

    Everyone starts at 1st level

    I honestly just don't think it's viable with the system as written. It might be feasible for the GM to fudge things, but that may or may not be a good idea.

    OotS #6662 is up

    However, Nicole Sullivan was cast as Leela before being replaced by Katey Sagal. I do not know the reasons for it though. Here read this Billy West interview: http://movies.ign.com/articles/652/652770p1.html Seen it mentioned a few other places too. So believe it or not, it does seem to be...
