    What changes were made from 3E to 3.5 ?

    Animal Empathy turned into a class-specific use of Diplomacy (boo!), and Intuit Direction got folded into Survival (yay!). Everything I remember off-hand about skills.

    Sound of "Keep on the Shadowfell"

    I think WoW's as video-gamey as it's ever gonna be. :D :p

    D&D 4E Any word on spell components for 4E?

    Adorably insulting, really, but that means you don't have to track the bat guano, not that you don't have to have it. RTFP? And for the record, I ignored them save for the muzzled & bound restrictions since 2e, and haven't even made a caster buy a spell component pouch in 3e. A combination of...

    First look of the Dragonborn?

    Well, I lol'ed. ? While everything about this makes me want to say yes, didn't they say Orcus doesn't make the cut for being a god? Suggests he probably wouldn't get paladins. They blend in with the architecture. The arch directly above the torch flame is the sweep of a wing. Trace that back to...

    First look of the Dragonborn?

    On reflection, I wasn't in fact seeing fur other than the mane, but two details my eyes glazed over that told me it should have fur. 1) On the inside of his right forearm there appear to be gnoll-like spots. 2) Look at his head. There's a distinct black nose at the end of that muzzle, rather...

    First look of the Dragonborn?

    I highly doubt it. Too furry. My money's on 'fiendish gnoll' or somesuch.

    D&D 4E Top Ten Things I've Learned on the 4e Forum

    D&D 4E Top Ten Things I've Learned on the 4e Forum

    D&D is a generic fantasy RPG and always has been.

    I'm not actually sure there is an Internet Nerd Slapfight Thread.

    Are demons/devils/dragons too complex?

    :confused: :confused: :confused: Really? The ones in my 3.5 Monster Manual have charm monster at will. I think that says everything we need to know about the rest of the argument.

    D&D 4E New Information on 4E Classes from Races & Classes Book

    As long as it comes in with the Villager and City-Dweller classes, I'm okay with it. Though I guess if they want to simplify they could just use the Barbarian's counterpoint, the Citizen. Where you were born still isn't material for a class.

    Help a 3e Kid Out - Night Below?

    In Book III there is in fact a group of illithids who don't trust the aboleth plan -at all- and fear they'll be dominated along with the other races, and offer another group of potential allies to the PCs.

    It brings Tiers to my eyes

    I can't see this being accurate in light of: 10-point modifiers in a d20-based game sounds like hard-edged boundaries.

    You do after squeezing Cyberpunk v3 onto the market, in a complete inability to understand what made one's own games popular. I mean, I'll grab the construction manual whenever it hits because I convert some designs to Interlock for a homebrew 'firm' sci-fi setting, but....yag. :(

    Woah there, back it up a sec. There's to be a new Mekton Zeta edition? *deeply in forbidden love with his Advanced Technical Manual* Now the kicker if yes: Is Mike Pondsmith actually involved in the writing or designing the game?

    Mike Mearls comments on design

    But you can just ignore those parts of old editions, so they're generic games. Unfortunately, every copy of the 4e PHB will now come with a WotC-Approved Co-DM who will oversee flavor issues in the game. "HALT. Unauthorized refusal of Dragonborn. You have 20 seconds to include them in your...

    What ever happened to just "playing" the game and telling a great story?

    "Dammit guys, stop playing 3e your way and do what I want!" Ugh. If your players don't match your GMing style, get new players and let them get a new GM.

    D&D 4E Do you limit or ban raise dead? Do you expect to again in 4E?

    Voted "limited a little", but more accurately I use Li Shenron's Mortally Wounded variant with disabled stretched out negative HP equal to Constitution. Resurrection is a day's work for a high-level cleric and an aide (who just has to fetch things), while True Resurrection is a 24-hour ritual...
