I'm the Macful GM.

Actual thought: "Wow, he got given props by Orcus? Very good credentials, that." Then I read the thread. But.

D&D already became anime. Ever heard of "Lodoss War"?

Oh, incidentally. So not true. Happened to me more than once!

IME, many D&D damsels in distress are male. ("Rescue Zenith Splintershield!") I mean, seriously, I can't even fault D&D for being heterocentric, as I can name several contrary instances.

So I have to admit that I have never gotten a very anti-women vibe from D&D. In fact, usually quite the opposite. ("Wait, there's a dwarven chick who's one of the pirate kings? Awesome!") But then I also don't pay a lot of attention to the art, so.

I suspect that metamagic will move from the characters into the items. Think a "+1 lesser empowering orb" or something similar.

50-50 chance. No virtualization software currently supports DirectX 9 -- they do support DirectX 8.1, but the DDI client is DX9. By banking on this, you are essentially betting that Parallels and/or VMWare Fusion will support DX9 by next year. I would not be surprised if this is the case, but...

So here's a possibly wild idea: Is there any reason for them not to open up the source for the client and give away the documentation for the web services and so on? In all seriousness, the Mac software development community would probably jump on something like this and release a freeware...

I just hope that information doesn't get lost. I'd gladly pay extra for a Directory's Commentary version of the PHB/MM/DMG with design documentation and good advice for designing on your own.

I like to think that warforged marriage is a big controversy in Eberron.

Just an informative addition -- you might want to look at the game Mortal Coil, as I've been doing, as it may better fit the campaign-which-is-unnamed-but-which-I-infer-is-the-difficulty. Essentially it seems to be shared world creation with a diceless resource-based task resolution mechanic.

I've been wanting this one since forever. I can already imagine the Great Modron March quest series.

Somewhat along the lines of the "aging heroes" thread, I've vaguely entertained the notion of a sort of Lupin the Third feel -- that everyone's sort of an old-timer and after a big adventure everyone parts ways, and then when some great danger or adventure comes along again, you start off with...

In our game, we stole a concept off of His Dark Materials and said that familiars are actually a manifestation of a part of the arcane caster's soul given physical form. This tends to make the idea of losing a familiar seem much less trivial than it actually is -- plus it gives the familiar...

Legends of the Lost Five-Hundred Years.

FUDGE is fun, but it annoys me somewhat that the philosophy many FUDGE folks have is that rolling a +0 total on your dice should happen very often. It has the tendency to reduce the amount of tension one has about the outcome of a situation. That said, I absolutely love FATE 3.0's Aspect...

I'm with the Auld Grump -- with a roughly equivalent CR the party should be fine. One thing you may wish to keep in mind is that the dragon is young, and therefore probably overconfident. If you want to make it slightly easier, you might have the dragon spend his surprise action attempting to...

Now that is certainly not true. Oh, right. I've been getting into Spirit of the Century lately; it's certainly worth looking into.

Not to paint anybody in a negative light, but I have to admit that I'm definitely getting that feeling of sick realization much like when you realize that your fellow party member has one eye and is missing one hand and is named "Vance". Just the sudden confluence of WotC looking into online...
