    Dear Wizards of the Coast blog post...

    Confucius says: "Open letter" of more than 300 words will not be read by anyone who matters.

    How to stop runners?

    On the language issue... It's probably reasonable to allow a high INT character to choose a language or two before play. That's a pretty standard D&Dism. If you don't want to break the playtest rules by doing that, there's the option of using CHA and INT checks to sway the attitude of, and...

    Ignorance is Bliss

    Heh, I've got exactly the same feeling! My PF campaign recently shutdown for real-life reasons. After having drifted a bit from ENWorld during that time, I came back to scope out the rules forums I used to haunt... and quickly found that I'd completely burned out on 'modern' (3.x, 4e) D&D...

    Black Box GMing - Would you play with it?

    Well, assuming such a system could be played with normal-sized gaming buddies, too.... ;) ... I'd certainly be open to trying, as either GM or player, and either verbally online or face-to-face. Seems like it would either be too much work or no work at all for the GM, since he could warp &...

    Words are hard!

    Not a pronunciation problem so much as a spelling problem: It's spelled "D A I S" not "dias". Oh, and brazier is not pronounced like brassiere. [edit: Ah, I see from the OP I wasn't the only kid with this problem!] .

    So the playtest is out: What do you think? The EN World poll!

    I didn't vote, since I haven't playtested or even fully read the rules. With no gaming group atm, I've had little interest in 5e. However, on the the basis of others' playtest reports here in the forums, 5e sounds very promising. So much so, in fact, that last night I broke down and signed...

    My Humble Request for Play-Test Packet 2

    Maybe this is a sacred cow, but my humble request is to fix the following: ladder, 10ft: 5cp 10ft. pole: 2spIf nothing else is ever fixed in D&D, fix this. Just do it. Once and for all. Right here, right now.

    Solar Eclipse. How did you watch?

    Drove a bit to get to the sunset line, and watched it from the roadside. Here are a couple pics I took with my cheesy old digital cam. And one with barbed wire, for extra awesomesauce:

    The Shire to Mordor directions

    Don't you mean the Baggins fees?

    The Shire to Mordor directions

    Oddly, when taking a car the other direction-- China to Japan-- one has to use a jetski rather than a kayak: (Not that this has nothing to do with The Shire or Mordor, however!)

    What are your gaming stuff mishaps?

    Somewhat inspired by MerricB's thread on RPG collections, I got to thinking about just how much RPG stuff I don't have-- and why. * Do you have a story-- sad, frustrating or amusing-- about gaming stuff gone missing over the years? * Have you lost gaming materials that were especially...

    Et, And, Ampersand: Fiasco!

    Wait, what?? You mean it's not pronounced "D ampersand D"? Oh my, I've been so wrong for these last thirty odd years.... :blush: No wonder I can't get a game!

    Identify A Rock

    A Deadlands game with you would be disturbing, I fear.

    Interesting ways to integrate a dragon in a campaign

    While travelling at night, the PCs might see from a distance a village on fire. Investigating they hear the sounds of battle and see in the smoke the shadows of men defending and dying. Beyond the fire, they see dozens of torches of the assailing marauders. At some point, in a flash of...

    House Fairies!

    Perhaps the domovoi and broom had a falling out of some sort, and the broom left of its own volition. It's sad/angry/offended and has to be convinced to return.

    Is your Gaming situation Stable or Unstable?

    My lack of a game has been pretty stable until about 3 months ago. This pleases me immensely, after a nearly 7 year hiatus from playing. I think the current game will be stable in the short term (approx. 1 year), as that's the expected campaign length. Beyond that, we intend to keep going...
