Agreed. I got the book with the game and I'm glad I played the game first. To be honest after playing the game I couldn't understand why they bothered with a novel; the game has a word count that dwarfs the average novel. I don't recall the exact figure but I think it was something in excess of...

That would depend entirely on the people involved in the group. I've been in groups where everyone had a little hand in shaping aspects of the setting along with the DM. That worked well and everyone had a good time. I've been in groups where the DM set things in stone and we gave him the...

As far as I understand Facebook application development - which is, admittedly, not very far - it has nothing to do with Facebook and more to do with the hosting WotC arranged for the application. They got it right when they said they rolled a 1. I didn't care for the minigame myself but I...

Makes sense. With 4E being based on WoW it was inevitable that warlocks would be overpowered. :P

Sometimes I just go with the flow when the players are doing this. It's free material and the players feel good thinking they figured it out.

What's that knocking sound from under the table? No playing peglegsies!

In this case realistic or unrealistic is relative to the context within the campaign world I guess. As for the out of type elf example I'd say if there are reasons for the character to behave that way that are acceptable for your game then why not? Reminds me of a comment I once read from an...

I'm pretty sure Monte was doing something like this with his Ptolus campaign. I don't recall if he had any asides giving advice for how to run that sort of game but it might be worth checking his site.

I'd consider subscribing to it to use just about all the features we've been told it will have. However, I can't really answer the question until sometime after it's delivered. First it has yet to arrive and second I'd be steering clear of it until I'm sure it's actually a retail quality...

I find it much the same either way with a widescreen monitor on a base that allows it to rotate to landscape or portrait. If I had to choose I'd stick with portrait.

It wasn't great but I cut them some slack. As Mr. Noonan said it was their first shot at something like this. If they plan to do another I reckon they should find one of the ongoing WotC campaign groups willing to be filmed. Record half a dozen sessions so they get a little more comfortable...

I think Disney manage to do a decent job of mining the public domain for their movies and then inappropriately holding onto them under copyright law. I'm not going to attribute any motives to WotC but I suppose it's possible they're attempting something similar.

Them's fightin' words! I haven't seen talk like that since my days at university. There was an incident in the Mathematics Faculty that resulted in a lost eye, a broken pen, and a ruined pocket protector.

Definitely have to say I'm not a fan of the new MotP cover. The white backing bar for the D&D logo they're using on 4E covers doesn't help.

At least we'll have chicken.

I thought it was Zargon when I first saw it, but the horn is missing.

I'm seeing this scenario repeated a lot and I think it may be giving 4E more credit for ease of improvising than it is due. While a DM could very well do what you describe, if a warlock or wizard (or whichever class has a Blind type class power) pipes up and says something like "Hey, that's...

I think the signal to noise ratio on 4E is getting so bad that I feel it's becoming frustrating to follow it.

Thanks for taking the time out to clarify. Fair enough. I still found it possible to use them as adversaries although there were plenty of cases where their nature didn't quite take them as far as attacking the PCs although they definitely still were involved in trying to obstruct what the PCs...

Wasn't Mike running sessions of that adventure at DDXP? Also... ...it was apparently intended to be deadly.
