Ack. It's like the D&D version of rick-rolling.

Yeah, the article is throwing an error if you're using IE (a vb script error). You can see if fine using Firefox. Great previews all around, I'm definitely interested in P2, MotP, Open Grave and even Dungeon Delve.

I couldn't find the DDI newsletter this morning either... It's unfortunate for the digital folks, I agree that since the editorial calendar and the weekly DDI update posts, a positive spirit towards DDI started to develop between the community and the staff, and progress was made (my...

I play it as cheap, accessible... but only for a PC. My group has just turned 5th level and we've only had one 'true death' - good old Irontooth. The players brought his body back for burial in Winterfell, and we had it that when she was performing last rites, the village priestess had a...

Interesting read - I was definitely a MERPs and Rolemaster collector, we played some but it was a bear at the table and 1E D&D was so easy to run and homebrew. The article makes sense why MERPS/RM either involved the early Third Age or the Fourth Age for placing adventures. Funny that 4E could...

Agreed - the Court of Stars was some unexpected goodness slipped into the Editorial. Which immediately brought to mind, will we see something similar for the Shadowfell - or will the rulers of the Domains of Dread fill that role? And surely the Far Realm will get the treatment too. Codex of...

Yep, I would agree that if you're looking for RPG stuff, Black and Read is an awesome book store with good prices on RPG, and the only place around that features a healthy amount of out-of-print materials.

I've been out of the area two years now, but there used to be a few good game stores in Denver - Attactix focused heavily on unpainted metal minis, there was Collectormania in Parker, and Enchanted Grounds in Highlands Ranch. There's also a great store in Longmont (Stonebridge, but that's an...

Wow. Cool thread, and its got me thinking Manual of the Planes will have equal high level greatness. Its going to be a long wait to Xmas waiting for a copy of Draconomicon and MotP... (Little too close to the holidays for me to just rush out and spring for them when I *know* relatives or the...

Umm, people keep calling this an article... it's an editorial - like, the guy's personal soapbox. A blog or something. So this blogger gets up there, and says, you know - "Sometimes when the players have beat down most of my monsters, and it's all over for my side but the crying, I scoop. And...

Good stuff... we went from playing 1E all last year, to a 3.5 experiment earlier this year (haha, the books were on firesale, after all...) and then 4E. Our Temple of Elemental Evil guys spent a lot of days/weeks 'down' doing the 1hp per night style of healing; then they added a second cleric...

Wouldn't you have a better chance of publishing (and certainly better sales) building 'Ancient World' as a campaign setting for an already published game? Either D&D 3.5 under the OGL or non-rules specific 4E? Or if you need the combat realism, maybe approaching ICE for Rolemaster. New...

DOH! My bad, I pasted from someone's post and clearly missed that. Yep, Warden is likely the Primal Defender. I'm guessing if Invoker / Avenger are the two newbies, we'll see Theurge powers in the Invoker class (assuming Divine Controller) and Avenger will be an as yet unseen Divine Striker.

What about the thread on Mearls' WOTC blog where he spoils the first initials of the PHB2 classes like so... B - Barbarian - Primal Defender B - Bard - Arcane Leader D - Druid - Primal Striker I - ? S - Sorcerer - Arcane Controller S - Shaman T - ? W - Warden I thought for sure the T would be...

I wonder if we'll even have this discussion in a few years? The FLGS has been a dying breed for a few years now, but I wonder if the latest round of minis announcements (goodbye DDM skirmish, goodbye Wizkids) and other product line contractions really pushes the stand-alone game store over the...

QFT. Every time I've seen a complaint that the 4E hit point and healing system isn't realistic, the alternative is usually the CLW wands and magic, magic magic. If hit points never equal physical damage, than surges don't equal physical healing... its kinda simple. But I think all this...

Yep - those tutorials are awesome. I struggled with CC3 and nothing 'clicked' easily regarding sheets and layers and sheet effects, but after watching those tutorials... BAM... mapping became much easier (and fun). Highly recommended!

Glantri for me. I may pull out the Grand Duchy every time we do a Classic game (and am using it now with the game I run for my son and his friends), but Glantri is a Gaz I'll turn to for inspiration for just about any system or campaign. Haha, it was the Harry Potterverse 15 years ahead of JK...

Castle Whiterock was pretty awesome, especially for 3.x era. I agree completely that Whiterock took the idea of quests, subquests, milestones, etc to a very high art; well worth reading for inspiration. My group was obsessed with ultimately finding the lost shrine of Justicia. (But they...

Really good ideas, and evocative names. I was taking a similar approach, but your names are cooler. :blush: I like the technique of having some areas per level being highly detailed (the lettered areas TFoster talked about) and then doing some cursory details on the 'non-named' areas and...
