Hue Jas never really caught on as a patron god.

True, dat. Rarely do I laugh out loud at a post, but this is one of those times.

Oh, alright. But it's 2008. My quota of allowable WoW, anime, and katana criticisms has been reset.

But if they only knew hobbits from LotR, they'd want to play brave, fit, daring hobbits who left their safe community to go adventuring, just like the characters in the films. But then, apart from hobbit-halflings, which D&D races have been composed mainly of boring, peaceful, risk-averse...

Yes, but the intended new D&D audience wants to be able to play the bad guys as standard, just like they can in World of Wa...a computer game which 4E is nothing like, and completely not trying to poach a consumer base from.

Another vote for goblins. They're small, but tough and cunning in a way that the fragile kender elflings aren't. And they can hold their booze.

Yes. In my defence, the player did say his rat swarms were happy little Vegemites.

Happy NY to EN! No, some of us just have strong opinions. Oh - software problems. I get you now.

I always thought a kobbit was that device on Swiss army knives for getting boy scouts out of horse's hooves.

Happy new year! 17 hours in, it's all great. Let's just hope my horoscope doesn't read "at some point in 2008, you will sober up."

Dragonborn with a extra-head feat. The toy was made for 4E

If that were the case, you'd regularly hear people say things like "afake, the bus leaves every half-hour", "Michael Jackson is an abhuman freak. O-to, I quite like "Thriller"" and "E-irk, Spock is half human. Correct me if I'm wrong." Most of those abbreviations are ways of saying "how cool...

Is this, then, a comments and feedback thread? If so, I'm not too keen on the gold bar buttons, and the neon blue time-of-last-post text gives me acid flashbacks. I imagine, though, that it'll just be a matter of changing the skin.

I relate to this, and I agree with much of the post. For me, 06/07 was a golden era of D&D, but my current group is having its last hurrah in January. After that, one player is moving away, another doesn't want to play anymore, and the other three have...personal differences, which means I'll...

"Shazam!" "Abracadabra!" "By the power of Grayskull!" V, S, M. What does that signify? What does a wizard actually do when a spell is cast? I once played a dancing illusionist who cast spells by crumbling material components onto the ground, then performing a jig on top of them while...

An excellent question, OP. Magic has become very utilitarian these days, and for DMs, especially, it's important to postulate on in-game special-effects. Ranger REG and Masquerade already described a couple I use, and several I will use. Whatever spell it is, mine usually involve floating...

Plenty of gamer humour isn't self-depricating. Trawl through ENworld and look at the tags marked "humour". But D&D humour for aficonados is indecipherable to those who aren't familiar with it, so humour for audiences outside the RPG-sphere has to mock popular perception in order to make sense...

Yes, my hat of subscriptions know no limit. And now I've added another one.

As Henry Kissinger said, "the politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small".

Yes, but they also think Jargon was a Greyhawk god who didn't make into 3E, so advice may be futile.
