    Help me capture my PCs

    Getting captured is one of those things that works much better in fiction than it does in games.

    Conventions -- Why do you go?

    Where was this picture taken? I must be going to the wrong conventions.

    And is guaranteed to never lay completely flat! Mine don't, at least.

    New Dark*Matter: d20 or Alternity?

    I think you're looking for Complex Skill Checks from Unearthed Arcana: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/complexSkillChecks.htm That write-up is for D&D, but porting it to d20 modern won't be any trouble.

    Undermountain maps - yeck!!

    The product is described as an adventure, not as a comprehensive catalog of Undermountain room descriptions. Undermountain is the setting where the adventure takes place. If the book is really lacking adventure material, or if there isn't information about the locations used in the adventure...

    Monte Cook is writing a fantasy novel

    Yeah, I'll pick it up it "site unseen," because I'm a fan of Monte's other stuff. If it turns out to be bad, it's not a big deal, because reading a novel doesn't require much of an investment on my part. I'll just move on to the next book.

    Monster Manuals no more

    I think that experienced gamers and long-time Game Masters sometimes don't give the hypothetical fresh kid off the street enough credit. I have a hard time imagining someone smart enough to learn how to play an RPG from a book, but not smart enough to eventually figure out that the you can play...

    Is the "official D&D product" really that big a deal?

    All I said was that the extra stuff wasn't needed, not that no one would ever be interested in it. I've bought plenty of non-WotC books myself, and am always interested in new adventures, regardless of the publisher. You can (and plenty do) play D&D with just core rules. These people don't even...

    Is the "official D&D product" really that big a deal?

    This is really strange question, if you think about it- "why would you use D&D products to play D&D?" Would you also ask why someone would use World of Darkness products to play World of Darkness? I think one good reason to not use 3rd party stuff is simply that there's no reason anyone needs...

    Gleemax = Enworld

    If you really want to know... So, yeah, the name of a website indicates nothing about its chance of success.

    Gleemax = Enworld

    I don't know- it'd be a huge waste of the Dragon and Dungeon brands if they just made them part of Gleemax.

    Gleemax = Enworld

    No, interview specifically points out that Gleemax.com has nothing to do with D&D.

    Talent Trees & D&D

    No, it doesn't decrease options, it just streamlines their use and presentation. And so far, both games that use Talent Trees still have PrCs. It's base classes (maybe) and alternate class abilities that would be replaced by Talent Trees.

    Gleemax = Enworld

    The only thing the press release says about D&D is that WotC publishes it. Here's the relevant bit from the interview:

    Gleemax = Enworld

    Gleemax Magic Card: http://ww2.wizards.com/Gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=Gleemax I'm guessing Magic players are reacting to the name better than D&D players. It'd be like if they titled the site headofvecna.com.

    Gleemax = Enworld

    Or, just look at the initial reaction when the "Revolution" was renamed the "Wii." Jokes about the name will fade pretty quickly once people get used to it, I think.

    Gleemax = Enworld

    QFT. The Gleemax vs EN World question is fundamentally false. There's no reason anyone would need to choose one or the other.

    Talent Trees & D&D

    In d20 Modern, talents are always specific to a particular class, while feats can be taken by anyone, wether they happen to be on a particular class's bonus feat list or not. Also, talents don't necessarily balance with feats.

    Responses to Questions about the DI

    For those who game with non-computer users: are these people subscribers or purchasers of Dragon and Dungeon? I wouldn't be surprised if "lack of interest in reading about games online" correlates with "lack of interest in buying gaming magazines." If so, the switch to digital won't effect them...
