    Would you be interested in a compromise to the miniatures-centric combat of D&D?

    It should go more like this: I'm not sure a new ruleset is needed.

    First Reaper, now Deadlands!

    Does anyone have a link confirming this?

    More Maure Madness?

    300 seconds of the movie 300

    It's not the historical inaccuracy of the outfits that bother me. It's that the end result looks more He-Man than classical greek.

    300 seconds of the movie 300

    Yeah... the "fighting in their underwear" aspect sort of ruins it for me.

    Is D&D combat meant to be heroic?

    The players in my game definitely ignore most "special" combat actions, on the reasoning that 99% of the time it makes more tactical sense to just hit the opponent again and whittle it's hitpoints down.

    Are monster types balanced?

    Thats just for advancing them. In determining ECL, outsider and fey HD are both worth one level adjustment.

    Mearls on Balance in D&D

    Because he's got a lot of ideas and is more outspoken than the average game designer- combined with the fact that many perceive him to be in a position to apply his ideas to the overall direction that D&D takes.

    What 3rd Party D&D Companies Are Left?

    I think it's the market correcting itself. Opening the game up to third parties was an experiment. Having a game and it's supplements all published by the same company is how things normally work, and D&D seems to be slowly but surely returning to this model. (And for the most part, it's the...

    Age of Worms H/C - unlikely :(

    As far as I know, Paizo is still publishes 3 high quality adventures per month with WotC's full blessing. If WotC was, say, shutting down Dungeon magazine itself, the above comments might make some sense. As it is, what were talking about here is republishing a series of adventures that have...

    Dealing with powergamers

    How about: "Learn to lighten up, DM, and you'll end up enjoying the game a whole lot more." That's the most important thing I've ever learned about DMing, at least, and it completely solved situations like the one described in this thread. It's much more fun to work with the players than it is...

    [D&D] What books are you using in your current game?

    To actually run my current game, so far I've only used the core books and Ptolus. But if we include what the players have use to create characters: Expanded Psionics Handbook Complete Psion Complete Mage Spell Compendium Complete Divine Complete Warrior Book of Eldritch Might PHB II And...

    The "Build"

    This style of play is just as valid as any other.

    Book of Vile Darkness

    I think parts of it have also appeared piecemeal in 3.5 products. I could be wrong, though, because I can't remember any specific examples.

    What is your definition of Railroading?

    Remember- it's only railroading if the players don't like it.

    D&D 4E Will 4E be announced at D&D Experience?

    Another way the D&D Experience can't live up to it's Macworld goals is that Macworld also has a lot of 3rd party companies- software developers and the like. As long as the D&D Experience is a WotC only show, it's not going to be a very dynamic "experience", and not something I'd ever consider...

    Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles

    I went and saw this at a local theater a few weeks ago. To sum it up- the voice acting was pretty bad, of course, the CG mecha looked like they were done in 1995, and whoever designed the female characters and their outfits was unreasonably cleavage-obsessed. As a long time Robotech fan...

    Gencon Hotels are on sale at 2pm, and all earlier reservations were WIPED

    And considering that no money changed hands, what would you be asking for? The reinstation of the reservation? The fifty bucks that they would charge a customer for breaking a reservation?

    Gencon Hotels are on sale at 2pm, and all earlier reservations were WIPED

    They must have figured that they'd rather have that relatively the small number of upset customers (the 200 hundred early registrations) instead of the potentially much higher number (everyone who didn't register early.) Neither decision is without problems, of course. The best course of action...
