Having alignment divorced from the mechanics of the game was one of the best things introduced in 4e. If a player want to play the Super Goody Two Shoes of Light and Holiness, they can. They don't have to worry about being put in a Catch 22 situation, where if they do something against their...

I like the idea of the article, but I would like to see it taken one step further. Have the 'core' classes, but allow for the option to switch out pieces as one progresses. This is where I think they failed with Essentials. Had they made the E-classes with interchangeable parts (a stance and an...

1. Rework magic items from the ground up. Commons would be useful to everyone. Uncommons would have elements that would be beneficial to a characters role and or power source. They would also have a Common element as well. Rares would have a Common and Uncommon element. They would include...

While I did vote for new maps, I do feel the need to qualify the reason for my vote; that being that I primarily use Maptools when I DM. When I took up the helm as DM for my group, I was always disappointed in the fact that I had these really cool maps in Dungeon, and no easy way of printing...
