Hah! I forgot about that. Shows how my brain filled in those blanks. Those were weird times. Paizo couldn't use Tenser or Greyhawk City, in the name of adaptability I guess, but for every name that got changed they slipped 9 others by.:erm:

Hate to correct ya Hussar as I agree with the spirit of the post. I just don't want people to be confused. Age of Worms was the paizohawk AP that was set FIRMLY in the central Flanaess, using Greyhawk City and its environs for half the quest. The follow up, Savage Tide was set far far away and...

It's not been easy for GH because its canon material was scattered like shot all over the D&D map. In 3x GH was publicly declared the default world, plus Dragon and Dungeon Mags had a little blurb in the corner of every issue that said 100% Official Content. So, technically everything WotC and...

This is well made! Good writing is just as essential if not more than good art IMO (one only need look at KotDT and OoTS), so keep up the good work!

You're probably right about that except for the fact the title Tomb of Horrors is now and forever gold. This mod to me is a catch 22. Wizards wants to capture the feel of the original ToH but can't due to their 'design philosophy' and WotC has to slap the name Tomb of Horrors on it since the...

There's alot wrong with this idea. Most of it has been said already. Where's the horror in a mega-ToH I ask? The original did more to scare players in several dozen pages than an entire boxed set ever could, that's why its often imitated. Mind you I never liked the Return to's and the Expedition...

Well to be fair, those movies would be like Marvel releasing a movie about some generic hero rather than use one of their dozens of popular titles. Why they are scared to option a real D&D property movie when fantasy movies are at their height amazes me. btw, back on topic. I will laugh mighty...

My money is on DL because it has novel compatibility out of the gate and that is where the big money is made possibly branching further into movies.

LOL. Darn and I missed going this year too.

I agree with all Maldin states above. If Greyhawk is to get a proper footing into the next edition it must have a way for fans to contribute either in new development or through official adaptation of old canon materials. This is the only way to bring the fans into the new rules set and not...

I am proud to have met Dave in person. He was a true legend.

Excellent idea Jester. I do wonder now, maybe the solution is to not make base starting ages for PCs so young but instead have the range extend out into maturity-old age from the get go since you never know when a heroic career will really start in one's life. This becomes especially true for...

You'd be surprised. Now that I know the art on this is recycled I'm less impressed. Ari did you write that Kas? If so or not, giving Kas a magic mask is an interesting development that I like.

Looks like a fair excerpt. Kas has clearly gone beyond his Greyhawk roots as a henchman foil into being a more planar-based villain in his own right.

I will go with the flow and say print magazines, although largely I would only get it out of habit. WotC taking the license from Paizo actually freed up my money to use on other hobbies, and in most cases Paizo still gets my dollar.

Quite a humorous topic. They streamlined saving throws into the attack rolls. I would never put anything past WotC now. If someday they lose the dice I'd say most likely attacks will be done by playing attack cards and missing, dodging, resisting will merely be interrupt cards in turn. Scary fun!

I think the OP means goads are fine but its illogical to use in every situation without save. It reduces BBEG's to the same mentality as minions.

If Hitpoints have been decoupled from being purely physical damage then Constitution should not be the only factor in adding extra HP's. If damage can be morale for instance, maybe Charisma should add HP. If damage can be stress-induced maybe Wisdom or Intelligence? Etc. Silly really.

I can appreciate that. My anecdotal reference however is Gencon 2007, the day 4E was broached to a convention crowd for the first time and the howling cheers and applause against 3.x's faults made it pretty evident to me at any rate that many would switch sight unseen.

ehhh....if Wizards had announced a new edition that would fix all our woes about 3.x but gave NO previews of anything until the release date, I'm sure the percentage of people jumping over to 4E would be pretty close to as if they were informed. People were that fed up with 3.5 is why.
