    6 months later: impressions of 4e

    Well, my answer to that would have to be; you write it yourself. I realise that it might not be the answer you hoped for, but it's the only one I have, since that is how I obtained it. Considering that it's in swedish, it might not have been too useful for you anyway. ;)

    Status of D&D Game Table?

    No it doesn't. Not really. It only contains data for levels 1-3 and there are loads of data errors. Then there are lots of coding errors (crashes and unexpected behaviour). The installation package uses InstallShield, but it doesn't work very well. It doesn't even check for the presence of .NET...

    Status of D&D Game Table?

    The central feature of a wiki is not that anyone can add or edit its content, but that the add/edit operation can be done quickly with a reduced set of mark-up (compared to HTML). Hence its name (from hawaiian). The comparision is fair, but maybe unusual. I suggest we avoid derailing the thread...

    Not an Enless Quest book, but something similar

    Steve and Ian were also the two guys who founded a certain game shop out in Hammersmith called Games Workshop... How's that for trivia?

    I just love an analythical thread like this! 0) I count seven months, but who's counting really (I am, obviously). 1) Agree. There are several powers that are just soo much better. And several that are just lame *cough*sleep*cough* 2) Yes, cards are nice. I've also found that a...

    ENworlder: How long have you been gaming?

    If we just talk RPGs, it's 34 years and counting. I started with D&D in late 1974.

    Preview: The Warden

    Nothing stops you from shifting away from a fighter either. You might get hurt from it, but it won't stop you (unless it kills you, of course).

    Multiclassing and Inspiring Word

    How do you get to 9 squares? "any shifting"? Moving twice only leaves you with a minor action. Are we talking kobolds here?

    Mearls on Controller design and At-Will balance

    Huh? Of course they "get wisdom". Everybody gets wisdom. But not automatically a good score in it. I don't really understand what you're saying. What was wrong with me correcting the original statement?

    Mearls on Controller design and At-Will balance

    Sorry, but Nature is keyed off Wisdom, not Intelligence.

    Wrath of the River King - Wolfgang Baur's Open Design

    Calling this a scam is not only extremely rude, but also completely untrue. If you don't want to be a patron, fine. But you can leave out the "braindead" comments.

    Latest Dungeoncraft Article

    It would be... if it wasn't for the fact that this same error has occurred on several occasions when they add a new article. It goes back well over a year, and that's unacceptable. Anyway, the WotC tech team has arrived at work, and fixed the article. CS told me the tech team was aware of the...

    Latest Dungeoncraft Article

    That's exactly what I told them. I got a new response from CS. This time they are guessing it's a problem with an outdated version of QuickTime in my browser. But there is no code running in my browser! All my browser gets back from the server is HTTP Status 500 and the document: Microsoft...

    I'm not so sure they are trivial, but since they've been around for over a year, any half-decent programmer would have been able to solve the problem by now. I mean, come on, we know it's in line 494 of default.asp. Send the code to me and I'll fix it for you.

    Latest Dungeoncraft Article

    Quite likely their server code is having some conditional processing when the UserAgent is IE. And somebody made a mistake in that code. It has happened now and then for over a year now. Usually when they add some new article to the system. The worst part is that I registered a support ticket...

    German publisher of D&D 4E won't renew contract

    That would have been FSV, right? I still curse that name in my darkest dreams.

    Previews for December and Beyond

    Same here. Or, rather, a server error message. We've been down this road before... :(

    "Nearest enemy"?

    That's why they issue errata... hrmm, I mean updates. And sometimes they just get it right the first time.

    How about a deadline to WotC?

    If you happen to go through the west of Sweden on that trip, I'll be happy to buy you a beer or two.

    "Nearest enemy"?

    Yes, there is.
