Yes, exactly. As disappointing as the review itself is, what's far worse is how egregiously the criticisms of it are being misunderstood.

I don't even know what "there are no wounds in D&D" is supposed to mean, no matter how many people repeat it as though it were a mantra. Yes, I understand (and in fact, have written fairly extensively about) the abstract nature of hit points and that they don't necessarily equate to physical...

While I agree with much of what's said here, there is so much emphasis on faithfulness to 4E uber alles that this reads like a parody of stereotypical fanboyism. (Poe's Law fully applies here.) The problem isn't that they changed things from the way 4E works, it's that they often did so for no...

How is that "Other", rather than "Sometimes"?

My comment was simply going to be "Anglais, s'il vous plait!" but then I noticed they were commercial advertisements that didn't even have anything obvious to do with RPGs. I can only assume this was a hack or something - surely Morrus & co wouldn't do this intentionally?

The "threads started by" link is looking like an interesting trip down memory lane, but the other one has the same problems as just using search or clicking "find other posts by" - all three top out at 200 results, and give limited if any date range options.

Is there any way to do a search for all my posts (not just the 200 most recent), or more generally to include more than 200 results in a search and/or only results from a date range I can freely choose? Even the "advanced" search seems pretty limited. I could see restricting these things when...

I've only read a few of them, but must say I was very pleasantly surprised by the Deadman story in DC Universe Presents. I didn't know much about the character and wasn't expecting a lot, but was very impressed with the maturity of the story and characterization, and the ending definitely left...

Arise, o deceased thread! Thought it might be worth posting my approach to this. I had lineup changes leave me with two ex-PCs at one point, and it was during the fire forest so they really had little chance to leave for most of that adventure, so I got REALLY fed up with DMPCs at one point...

Nice to see the odd friendly "face" from my Usenet days. I had a guest co-DM during the Fire Forest adventure to, among other things, play Tiljan, and a romantic sub-plot between her and the bard developed. (Vuel/Deception had told her something beautiful was to be found in the abandoned...

The "loose cannon" is going to need to learn to work with others if he is to be at all effective as a Warlord... might be a good opportunity for roleplaying and character growth. There's a bard in my current 4E group who is (intentionally on the player's part) going through an arc like that.

Are you KIDDING me?!? That's been around for well over a year, it's not as though that change snuck up on them. Trust WotC to take the one thing I've been waiting for that might have made me resubscribe, and mess it up with a stupid rookie mistake. I don't understand how it's possible for them...

Compelling adventures and an interesting setting. Hey, it seems to work for Paizo. ==================================== Beyond that one point I specifically wanted to respond to, a few other comments (not directed at Jerome specifically). First of all, there's an important difference between...

My main reasons for not buying the 5E rumours have been (a) it's too soon, and (b) gearing up for a major new release is a time when you hire people, not when you let core team members go; those who saw a portent in the loss of Bill Slavisek, in particular, had things exactly backwards IMO...

Not really a counterargument to anything Squire James said. And I happen to agree with him, this is the first OotS in quite some time that hasn't worked for me on some level. The last panel sacrifices all pretense of story plausibility for a joke that, at least IMO, isn't even all that good...

(a) They ran out a while back, and (b) you don't need one anymore anyway; it's now in an open beta, any Facebook user can just log into it. (I never did get mine from this thread, I assume because the open beta was announced before Morrus got around to sending them all and at that point there...

Okay, no problem. Thanks for letting me know where this currently sits. If it's not there in a week then I'll worry about it :D.

Have the keys been sent? I haven't received mine.

Five, seven, five is The right syllable count, yes? Many have that wrong.

The SRD for 3.5 included, as far as I recall, content from the three core books, the psionics stuff, the options from Unearthed Arcana, and bits of Deities and Demigods. Not everything in those books was in there (most obviously, the rules for creating and advancing characters were omitted); the...
