    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    I have been playing since BECMI. I dont see either races being universally despised. Post 2000 WoW is a bit of a misnomer since its only been around since 2005. Tieflings have been around since at least 2nd edition. Dragonborn were effectively first seen in Dragonlance. I like the...

    Should NPCs Have to Follow the Same Rules as PCs?

    On the flip side the rules produce their own level of restriction and annoyance. If I want the my elderly patriarch of Pelor who has spent most of his life in monastic seclusion and prayer I may well want him to be able to Ressurect or cast Commune without adding Cleric 13 to my notes and...

    No Random treasure !?!?...

    This. I have wasted many many hours when younger rolling up "random" treasure until I got something which made some sort of sense both for the adventure and which my players might be interested in.

    Lazybones's Keep on the Shadowfell/Thunderspire Labyrinth

    I am loving the start of this SH LB. I think it will be particularly interesting to see how you and Dr Midnights stories play out side by side. Is the attack by the goblins and bandits an addition to the module?

    Sacrificial Bunnies (Warlock curse question)

    I think I may just die of irony.

    4E is for casuals, D&D is d0med

    Personally I find it helps to think of each encounter as a different scene and go from there. I dont see myself enfocing the 5 minute rest thing at all. New scene, encounter powers refresh.

    4E Out-Selling Any Previous Edition. Good? Bad.

    Its more interesting when you realise that 3.5 outsold 3.0.

    Eulogize your favorite slaughtered sacred cow.

    No you didnt. Also, please dont do that, its very rude, smiley or no smiley. Finally if you cant find immersion then you arent looking hard enough.

    How do I explain the following to my players?

    Full plate is not a force field Full plate does not cover every inch of your body HP do not just represent physical damage, it include luck, endurance, resilience and the will to fight on HP are an abstract system for dealing with combat which shouldnt be thought about too closely. If you are...

    Eulogize your favorite slaughtered sacred cow.

    Goodbye simulationism, you will not be missed. Au revoir necromancers, conjurors, illusionists, druids, bards, barbarians, psionicists and everything else we will see in a year or so's time.

    Fourth Edition Forgotten Realms Sucks.

    I am impressed that you felt the need to create an entirely new account with an intentionally inflammatory username to kick off your trolling post. Truly you shame us all.

    D&D 4E (Poll for those buying 4ed only!) How old are you?

    Around 700 votes and only 5% are under 20. Yep, 4e is targetted at the kiddy market...:)

    Excerpts: Angels

    Not hard at all. I recall a very old module (the Rod of Serallion) from back in 1e which had just that.

    Excerpts: Angels

    Given the epic tier seems to include the option of fighting gods and demon lords I think the exarchs will have stats.

    Excerpts: Angels

    They rebelled. I can just as easily see angels of an evil good falling and becoming something quite different (devils) as I can see it happening to angels of good gods. The issue isn't acting in an evil way, its diverging from the divine plan. Personally I dislike the "mercenary" side of...

    Gandalf - Patient Zero of Bad DMPC Epidemic?

    Reading your comments I have to question this.

    Who was right

    Reading this, I am really not sure Paladin is the class for you.

    Who was right

    I always thought D&D was a game of heroism and daring deeds against hopeless odds, you seem to be turning it into an exercise of tedious accounting. Also, stuff breaks, lean to live with it. You cant prove you are right or wrong in this case, it is entirely dependant on how your game world...

    Helm of Opposite Alignment, Efreeti, and You

    I am not arguing about whether or not doing it is good or evil, mainly because I find alignment debates exceptionally tedious and they never resolve. I am however saying that the perception of the creature subject to repeated attempts to magically rewrite its personality is likely to be that...
