    If that is the case, then I apologize to Lizard for taking his comments in the wrong light. I shall wait and see if that is the case. EDIT: I missed Lizard's last post. I see what he meant now. Sorry Lizard, it looked liked it was directed at me and I took it that way.

    Easy there, killer. There is no need for that sort of vitriol. I had an opinion and apparently not read the SRD FAQ. There are other (and better) ways of letting me know that this question was answered in a WotC document. Anyway, back onto the the ignore list for you.

    GSL news.

    It makes sense, though. This way, you can use the stuff that WotC worked on and paid money to develop, but the end product must tie back to D&D. I never understood why WotC allowed 3pp to make a product that was 90% D&D and toss the OGL in the back and sell it as a competitor to their flagship...

    D&D 4E Duskblades for 4e

    The first thing that comes to mind is to make other abilities more important. This is off-the-cuff, so I can't claim it is viable, or useful. Here it is anyway, though. Make the attack powers strength for melee, dexterity for ranged. Then make a follow-up rider on them that uses Int to inflict...

    D&D 4E "4E sucks" decry gnomes, half-orcs (humor)

    I really wanted to walk out of GenCon with Necro books, but I guess I shall have to wait. Dirk fing blast. I fully trust it will be worth the wait. I have already informed my wife that roughly $100 a month of my paycheck is reserved solely for the purchase of WotC and Necromancer Games books...

    D&D 4E Duskblades for 4e

    This is probably the best homebrew 4e class I have seen yet. I suppose the best thing I can say about it is that not only would I play it, but I would not have a problem with my players using it. :)

    GSL news.

    In case anyone else was wondering like I was, here is the excerpt from the News page: WotC announces plans for 4e SRD and OGL: On January 7th 2008, Wizards of the Coast held a courtesy call with the 3rd party publishers who had expressed close interest in gaining advance access to the 4e rules...

    Perhaps my memory is failing, but I don't know if I ever knew who WotC was talking to earlier in the year. Does anyone know who was (or might have been) part of that January call?

    My WoTC Interview

    The two don't have to be mutually exclusive. Allow for GMs to be certified by a WotC standardized system, while allowing people to have personal rankings and karma for people they play with. Actually, looking at it it seems like a decent way to do it. Players would know that I, as a GM, know...

    Skill Challenges: Bringing the Awesome

    I don't buy it. It is a trap, designed to go off when certain conditions are met (namely, in this case, when the body is moved violently). The purpose of the skill challenge is to *not* set off the trap. Thus, you make History checks to remember similar traps, Nature checks to find out why it is...

    My WoTC Interview

    My available hours are very odd between work and university, so even the possibility of pick-up games when I have time seems worth the price of admission to me. The idea of a GM College could help alleviate the "what GM are we getting" issue a bit. If you can see the GM is Rank 3 Certified...

    Deployed Military D&D Game Day! (needs you!)

    I am going to visit my FLGS this weekend and see if we can get a drive together to come up with dice, minis, and other gaming essentials in time. As soon as there is an address to send them to, I hope to have a huge "gamer care" package ready to go. I might spend some time today or tomorrow...

    Deployed Military D&D Game Day! (needs you!)

    I hope that this all comes together. As a former US Army soldier, I wish I could help. Good luck.

    To all the other "simulationists" out there...

    Actually, WotC released a web enhancement that gave a non-evil version of the Assassin: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/prc/20070401a So it is legal as official WotC product and does not require houseruling.

    D&D 4E 4e houserules

    So you have it set that Burst n expands vertically and horizontally n and diagonally 1+(n-1)? Not a terribly difficult rule to implement and keeps the shape roughly the same. I like it. :)

    D&D 4E 4E PrRC ~v2.7~ FINAL UPDATE May 29.08

    That is a good question. Wasn't there an announcement somewhere that halflings are getting a size boost up to around 4'? That could bump them up to the lower limit of Medium. I am still stuck thinking of a lot of things in 3.x terms.
