    The Guards at the Gate Quote

    Well, if that's how you feel that's how you feel. Have at ye. Again reading the whole quote I read it as, don't spend a lot of time with stuff that doesn't add to the game feel free to move on. (Especially in light of the fact that in other areas of the book he talks about encounters that...

    The Guards at the Gate Quote

    I personally feel some people will read what they want to read into a quote then get upset about it. It's actually something they train you not to do in a lot of customer service oriented jobs- if you start reading something with a preconceived idea about what the other person's intent was...

    D&D 5E (2014) What big thing is supposed to be next week?

    That's the announcement. They are announcing they have built a time machine and are using it to travel back in time to change the announcement to an announcement about 5e.

    Legends and Lore - Nod To Realism

    I prefer games that give me a rule and are flexible enough in the flavor of said rule to let me explain it however I want. I'm not a huge fan of the idea that a rule needs to be set in place based on some random designer's random view of the universe and how it works, and if whatever else you...

    Legends and Lore: you get one action...

    Maybe, All I can say is that I've seen people skip attacking since waitinf for their next turn isn't too long. Maybe I play at less hardcore tables then you. :P My point being that there is something to the less time to wait means less idea of "wasted" action. It's just more of the same for...

    Legends and Lore: you get one action...

    I don't know if I agree here based solely on my own observations in the transition of my games from 3e to 4e. In 3e since it was such a huge amount of time to get around the table people didn't waste actions at all. They sat and thought how they could use every single action to their best...

    Legends and Lore: you get one action...

    I'd like to see more about what they would do, and maybe see it in action before reserving any final judgement... Seems like a lot of people are thinking about it in terms of, take 4e as is, and lop off multiple actions... Remember he also said they'd make other changes too... Like more stuff...

    Legends and Lore: A Different Way to Slice the Pie

    They already do this with powers. It's one added line for powers that make sense, and it solidifies the concept of how the game works. Right now it's everything you need to know to use X power is in the info about your powers and abilities- except for these rules you need to memorize for...

    Legends and Lore: A Different Way to Slice the Pie

    Sure- but what I meant was instead of having a book to go back to and figure out what it's talking about, everything would be right there for you. Nothing to reference. Same can be said about the other way- a game shouldn't force you to learn the rules before being able to use it. (I know...

    Legends and Lore: A Different Way to Slice the Pie

    But I think his point is to reduce the need to memorize certain rules in the first place. In the current system we have an attack of Opportunity and that is defined as a thing, and how it comes about. So now we memorize that rule, and later on down the road things will call out: This causes an...

    CB and MB on Ubuntu?

    Drat... Was thinking about giving Ubuntu a spin, but not if it means I can't do the stuff I wanna do. :P

    Inquisitors should have been the name for Avengers

    As far as the name goes... I think maybe Inquisitor has some connotations that WoTC didn't want to go with.

    House Rules in the Character Builder

    I think they will do exactly that in the adventure tools. The DM will get a custom power/feat/item builder. My guess is they plan to link all of the tools together, so the DM gets to choose what options are available for a campaign, as well as add any houserules, and the players will see his...

    House Rules in the Character Builder

    I'd say in all reality it's a little of both. All different groups want various things to be worked on, and they only have some much time/money to split. Some poor chump has to juggle the demands of what various people want and what can be done in a given amount of time, and with that given...

    House Rules in the Character Builder

    I don't think inability to edit has to do with copywrite. I think it has more to do with not wanting to add an aditional variable into the mix. Judging from what I deal with at work. I just did X stupid action without thinking about it and Y messed up thing happened. What's wrong with this...

    House Rules in the Character Builder

    I haven't done a ton of testing but from my quick glance over it looked like from anywhere.
