I dig those trees, and I don't see a pattern. Draw those in by hand? Use the same technique as in the tutorial? I should be patient and wait for the tutorial or book that covers that mapping method? :)

Okay, so I finally sat down and ran through the the entire first chapter of podcasts. This is definately harder than it looks, although it would be impossible for me to replicated without such a well made tutorial. I got a copy of Adobe CS when it came out a couple of years ago (I got a good...

Interesting... I like it. The story about them killing the god and falling from grace is really similar to my homebrew.

I'm not sure if I posted this here or on another forum. I want to see support for a lot of settings, old and new, but I want it in large one-off setting books with minimal (maybe even none) additional setting books. If they pump the page count to as high as it'll go and still be profitable, and...

The updated map looks great. The hills look good, and the little lake sort of balances things out I think. I'll definately be playing around with this. I'll likely use a more generic "dots and stars" map key though as my "little building" keys tend to look cartoonish or out of place with the...

I don't know that I can completely explain why I feel brilliant is the correct term, at least in my opinion. You are certainly welcome to use whatever words you like to make your own known. I think I like it mostly as a marketing tactic. It isn't new at all, yet there are a ton of DMs who won't...

I can see Palehorse's influence. I've been following those too, and emailed him a few weeks ago regarding an issue I'm having with world maps, and mapping a world that is predominantly land. I like your mountains a lot! I my Intuos drawing tablet out of storage, which I never learned to use when...

I love this setting concept. This is basically the setting of my youth where we enjoyed running adventures regardless of the world they were written for. I think that is key here. This fast and loose "campaign setting" will allow 3rd party publishers to produce one-off adventures in random...

I have to say that, while I am still against a random stat generating mechanic, the arguments for the array method here make it sound superior to point buy to me. I've never used it, but it sounds like it forces people to play a well-rounded character (no dump stats) and gives them some freedom...

I would like to see the random options for character generation and advancement hilighted as optional rules either in a sidebar or in the DMG. I *totally* get the old argument where a bad roll on an ability score, or a really low roll on hit points, was supposed provide a little extra depth of...

The idea was just to get gnomes into a product, and to give them some "definition" for those folks who feel they have lost their purpose as anything other than 'Dwarf Lite'. Technology as a source has definately got some merit given the various technologies (magically inspired or not) in various...

I, personally, agree with mousey... but I think it's time to agree to disagree or create a dedicated thread? Just a suggestion.

Interesting... but I really don't see both arcane classes being controllers.

An MMO style threat listing is out of the question. They developers have stated, and restated, an intention to minimize book keeping. Tracking threat would be unecessary book keeping. Now, a taunt "maneuver" for martial defenders that forces a monster to attack them for a set number of rounds or...

Given the revelations in this thread regarding each set of core books being centered around specific power sources, I think the real acid test here is which classes are absolutely martial, divine, and arcane; and which can be explained away as another power source. Here is my best guess...

'kay, I held my replies until I finished the thread. This has taken a concept I was absolutely hating on and turned it into something I am looking forward to. I love the idea of using power sources to define each iteration of core material. Of course they will likely do spalt books each year...

If they break it up so nicely then I think they will do so by role (defender, leader, controller, and striker), rather than by power sources (i.e. arcane and divine) Also. Things are so spread out over various sites and forums that I'm having trouble keeping up. The designers are already...

I love RangerWicket's reply, but I don't see it happening. Another option, in addition to those listed above, would be HoT spells. Now I am the first person to cry foul when a tabletop game tries too hard to be an MMO, but the concept is good enough... Rather than having temporary hitpoints or...

I like 'per day' just fine, but 'per session' wouldn't require any real retooling (as far as we can tell right now). It could certainly be presented in the sidebar for groups to consider as an alternate rule. In practice I think per day will work out as per day most of the time, and per session...

Excellent showing Todd. I'm very interested to see what else gets brought to the table. I'm looking to do a "classic" game soon (incorporating all of the fantastic elements of the game that made me love it when I was a kid) and a deck of many things is definately on my list of events for the...
