    D&D General The Brilliance of the Original Gygaxian Multiverse

    I totally agree... it was just that they seemed to forget that they were only using a convenient narrative shorthand to depict non-physical spiritual planes, and went too far and had people actually living in these metaphysical places.

    D&D General The Brilliance of the Original Gygaxian Multiverse

    I thought it was a basic assumption that all the non-Material planes, were, well... non-Material? The Astral spell even explicitly says that it creates a compatible body for you in the new plane you travel too. The only violation is with the Plane Shift spell, which actually physically moves...

    D&D General The Brilliance of the Original Gygaxian Multiverse

    Plus, I just revile the idea of villages of mortals living in Heaven and Hell. It really rubs me the wrong way.

    D&D 5E (2014) Epic Monsters: Onocentaur (Poll)

    Well regardless, I am still hoping I will be able to afford MF&MM when it is released; I figure I'll be able to, as I am starting to save up some more money specifically for it. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Epic Monsters: Onocentaur (Poll)

    You did just fine, man. As far as this thing goes, I don't see how you could've done any better. I sincerely hope I will be able to afford the book when it comes out; I live on a very tight disability income, and since I've been needing a new computer I already blew just about all the money...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Shares Theros Table of Contents

    That Paladin Oath of Glory sounds promising to me; I hope it's as cool as it sounds like it could be. The Athlete background also sounds neat. I hope all of the character options are good, since we need as many more subclasses and Feats and the like as we can get without more books like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Musings on the likelihood of future products

    I kinda wish Hasbro could do a cross-licensing deal with Mattel so we could get a Masters of the Universe D&D setting... You could already get most of the way there by just using the sci-fi weapons rules in the DMG, but you would need some kind of rules for building PCs with the odd unique MotU...

    D&D 5E (2014) Musings on the likelihood of future products

    Yeah, but I was wondering if anyone understood why it was so unpopular? I thought it was all utterly fantastic and, like I said, I am baffled as to why so many people wouldn't like it. It seems bizarre to me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Musings on the likelihood of future products

    I am still utterly baffled as to why they abandoned the Unearthed Arcana Mystic class and psionics rules, and then went on to release that far inferior subsystem of psionic class substitution abilities (and then apparently dropped that version as well, I guess?) The final 28-page Unearthed...

    You're probably not very far from me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Epic Monsters: Joe Magarac

    I love it! I actually had heard of Joe before, having come across him in an article a few years ago and then reading his Wikipedia article. I was also quite surprised that I'd never heard of this Pittsburgh Paul Bunyan of Steel before; while I don't live in Pittsburgh, I do live only 2 1/2...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the new setting Icewind Dale?

    God, I hope Icewind Dale isn't the new "setting." Not because I have anything against Icewind Dale, it's fine, but because it isn't a setting. It's a location within an existing setting, the Forgotten Realms, and the 'Realms has already been exhaustively detailed for decades. And I would so...

    D&D General D&D In The Mainstream - Again!

    Nice way to exemplify one of the benefits of playing the game! You're never really stuck inside anywhere when you're playing D&D! A group of my friends and I (actually the very same people whom I originally started playing the game with decades ago) have been playing a campaign over Skype...

    Old timers?

    I basically lived at Eric Noah's/ENWorld from '99 through '05 or so, until outer-world stuff started getting me out of the house for a few years. But I have always been around, even if only in the wings at times.

    Old timers?

    That would get tiresome. I don't know if you'd want to rely on self-reporting or not.

    RPG Evolution: Onward: A D&D Movie for Kids

    Of course, the first mention of a Gelatinous Cube in a major movie was in Wayne's World.

    Old timers?

    I joined Eric Noah's forum in '99, and signed up on ENWorld about as soon as it opened. I was 23 when I started here, now I am 44.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D's Top 10 Fighter Subclasses Revealed!

    Eldritch Knight is my jam. It even has a built-in "weapon familiar" that I would often create my own spells for in 1st and 2nd Editions. Where does the Gunslinger come from? I don't think I've ever heard of it.
