    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    Yes. If that happened, I would absolutely scrimp and scrape together enough nickels to purchase it.

    Les Miserables

    I was hoping to get a glimpse of the Thenardiers, but didn't see one in the preview. Hathaway's "I Dreamed a Dream" that runs through that trailer sounded pretty good. I know Cosette doesn't really have any good solos as an adult, but can Amanda Seyfried sing?

    Johnny Cash the story teller.

    Man in Black Jackson What I always found interesting about A Boy Named Sue was Shel Silverstein as the author.

    Prometheus [Spoilers]

    So I can safely wait for the DVD, then?

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    I voted for earlier period, but I'd be perfectly happy keeping it where it is. I didn't buy the 4E version because I didn't buy any 4E other than the core three books. I do own all the 3.5 books, and would be interested in support for DDN, but if it's just a retread of the books I already own...

    Corporate Stupidity: Exhibit A - DC Comics

    I suppose. But I picked up and read Authority before I had an inkling that the characters were gay, and it wasn't really the selling point of the book or the marketing strategy of a whole company. Never read that book. That was around the time that I gave up comics (except for a few Vertigo...

    Base measurement in DDN

    I feel like I see this a lot. I was just in a high school the other day (job interview), and the 15 foot wide corridors could indeed have 5 or 6 students walking abreast. That said, I'm not sure if I placed a two-foot long sword in their hands and had them ready to fight each other if those same...

    Corporate Stupidity: Exhibit A - DC Comics

    Well, no, not in his own book. As for the second tier - he's on Earth 2, not the primary DCU. The role of Earth 2 was specifically a place to try out different things without corrupting the main continuity. Thus, anything that happens in Earth 2 can be easily ignored if that choice turns out to...

    Corporate Stupidity: Exhibit A - DC Comics

    The marginalization comes in at least two ways. First, the marketing promised a major character with the implications being a top-tier mainstream character, and what they delivered is a second-tier character who is neither daring nor particularly interesting. The second comes in the fact that...

    Corporate Stupidity: Exhibit A - DC Comics

    You don't think marginalizing an entire segment of the population and paying lip service to equality while playing the half-assed safe bet for the sole purposes of increasing your bottom line* is something to be called out on? When Dr. Pepper 10 calls out "Not for women," are women wrong to...

    Corporate Stupidity: Exhibit A - DC Comics

    My objection is more to the fact that Alan is not a top-tier hero. The "Green Lantern" name is, of course, a major player, but this has the same kind of impact to me as saying a major villain will be gay and then picking Alexander Luthor. It strikes me as a cop-out. Alan Scott is a second-tier...

    The "Smell Test"

    I just had to say that I really like the phrasing of this poll (and WotC had a similar phrasing in its playtest feedback). I have played 3E the most of any edition, but identify strongest with the very end of 1E and beginning of 2E.

    One could always crawl into the LHC and try to pull a Dr. Manhattan.

    How are you accessing the D&D Next playtest materials?

    The same is true for me.

    LONG REST: let's add some realism.

    I'm a special snowflake. I want some things to refresh at some rates and some other things to refresh at different rates. More specifically, I think HD and spell slots refreshing after a long rest is good, and HP refreshing slower than that is good. How much physical effort does it take to post...

    Elephant in the room: rogue and fighter dailies.

    I wasn't looking for posts by you, but here are two that I came across. You railed against clerics and fire and forget, and said that was your biggest hang-up against Vancian magic for them - http://www.enworld.org/forum/5774065-post108.html And said here -...

    Elephant in the room: rogue and fighter dailies.

    I don't have a cite handy, sadly, but awhile ago on ENWorld there was a thread all about Vancian casting (several, actually) and there were several posts that indicated just that. I'll see if I can dig one up when I have time, but considering how fast threads move compared to the pace of my...

    LONG REST: let's add some realism.

    This piece of the chat session that was posted here is something that I thought could use separate notice in this thread. Mearls: We erred on the side of letting long rests heal everything, primarily because we were fairly split on how to treat it. Personally, I'd like to see a rule where you...

    Elephant in the room: rogue and fighter dailies.

    And yet it seems like many of the people who like martial dailies hate Vancian spell-casting, and the say exactly the same things about those that people who don't like Martial dailies say. "Vancian casting is stupid because the wizard forgets how to shoot a fireball!" They either haven't...
