You've been a welcome source of information and a bridge between the 'masses' and WotC. If they aren't paying you - they should. Seriously. I'd +rep you for your post/work but I did it too recently. At least multiple people already have. As for the Jester's comments all I can add is...

The main reason I hate rolling for stats is that i almost always end up with a series of numbers between 9 and 11. I hate playing an Average Joe. That is what i am in real life! I play RPGs to be special in some way. I'd almost rather have a few stats at 5 than play a guy with 10s & 11s...

Let's see..... Sword Golem (yes a golem made of swords tied together - it stood about 9 feet tall and was 12 feet long) trapped by a well placed stone-shaped wall. To this day I can say 'tink*tink*tink" and get a chuckle from some of the players involved in this. It is the sound they heard...

A year ago I was easily in the 26-50 range probably the 51-75 most months. Nowadays it is the 1-25 and the low side of that as well. I have discovered other things to spend money on.

I once did up a campaign intro that was 7 pages long. I know most of the group never read any of it past the first page (stat gen, allowable classes & races). What a waste of time. Nowadays I'd give the players the gist of the world in 200 words or less. Hopefully a lot less.

Gamma World is not about balance, thank gawd. Take your lumps you radioactive potato! Burn!

I had to check this out myself as I didn't actually believe it. Sadly it is true that even if I select 'home campaign' I cannot use things like Themes or those psionic powers for Dark Sun. This is just stupid.

Thanks! I didn't see (somehow!) that giant green 'Remove' button.

I play a STR based paladin and currently have a 19 Str, 16 Wis and 16 Cha at 9th level. Optimizers probably have spasms thinking about such a build but the flexibility it gives me allowed my paladin to almost single-handedly save my party from a TPK last week. 3 uses of Lay on Hands (with the...

I'm not sure if this thread is really useful anymore for asking these kinds of questions - discussion of the online CB itself seems to be drown in the 'noise' of what is/isn't legal but here goes - How do you delete items from your inventory? I don't want to sell them or anything I just want...

This is my take almost 100% but I have had it crash about 10 times over the 5 characters I have attempted to make. The pause after each 'click' annoys me to the point that I don't like using the program - where with the old CB I made characters because I found the process fun. The CBC was an...

No, they aren't. See? I have just as much evidence as you too!

My sub is up in Feb/11 and I won't be re-subscribing. My interest in RPGs in general and D&D in particular is at a low ebb right now. Of course that was true 6 months ago when I stopped DMing and last month when I quit one of my groups but I am still playing semi-regularly.

Its out and WotC said they had tested it extensively. Turns out they didn't. It's a perfect time for the poll. No I don't like it at all.

Every poll should be public. It seems to negate the ability of posters to 'rig' polls by voting dozens of times from one account.

Because what they are now offering is a tenth as useful as what we had before and costs the same amount of money. It's OK to admit WotC screwed up badly with this buggy, slow POS online CB - we won't tell them. Luckily a fellow ENWorlder has found a program that will allow me to add custom...

Impossible!

I have quite literally hundreds of dice that almost never see use. If you are willing to spring for the shipping I would gladly send you as many sets as I can spare for free. These are almost 100% Chessex dice of varying colours but many full 7-10 dice sets are in my 'head o' dice' (its a...

Sounds great. You want the terrain to be a side attraction not the main event! That sounds much more like how a 'frozen lake' encounter would go. Something using the lake to lure people out on to it until it is too late. Love it.

Heresy! I have loved the Owlbear since I first saw one on the inside cover of B2 Keep on the Borderlands. To me it is an iconic D&D monster and no edition of D&D would be complete without it!
