You mean on the UNFINISHED story hour thread? :D

That was an evil comment! Nonetheless, I fight the good evil fight for Orcus. Even if nobody else is with me! (looks around for Nightfall)

Why should WoC axe Devils and Yugoloths? That would mean Less possible Monsters - and that would mean less Monster Books. Nope, never cut the Tree you sit on. Grrr, Orcus is not a Monster but a Demon Prince. He will be in the Monster Manual, true, but he is still a Demon Prince. I hope.

But what about Orcus? It is always Orcus who gets the shaft. First he is killed by a spoiled Half-God brat. Then the shizophrem Ape-Reptile thing gets a whole campaign, but not Orcus. Then the six fingered Loverboy is the main Shemer in a "Return to Book", but Orcus is the scapegoat Then...

The rules IMO should provide guidelines for DM and Players alike. If I play a Cha. 20 Int. 17 Bard with the mob problem I posed earlier in this thread, but am not the most eloquent in RL (and therefore like to play an eloquent character) I will have problems talking it out with the DM in...

A good or a long-time DM can and likely will use a kind a houserule or freeform resolution for social encounters. But there are many new DMs out there who might do better with a set of rules that they can use (but do not have to).

In fact for all European Gamers it is middle of the day.

Even if there is a "social encounter" there still have to be rules how and if the "opponent" is "beaten" or not. And these rules will use some kind of dice roll. I always let my player roleplay his use of Diplomacy and if he made a good speech he got a +2 or even higher circumstance bonus. Maybe...

Naturally I started to grumble as I read about 4th ed. All my 3x stuff now useless and all that. But then I saw the presentation and read the articles and blogs. The energy, motivation and commitment of the WoC Staff just swept me away. Consider me a convert for 4th edition (even if I am still...

I do not think that divine or arcane casters will have unlimited casting power in 4th. They wil still have to carefully manage most of their spells. But they will have some sort of spells that they can cast x/day or x/encounter or 1/round. I do not think (and pray) that clerics will be able to...

WoC is really the evil empire. They destroy the old 3rd republic and build the new 4th empire. Ohh but the lure of evil is ever great. The easy way to power! I love what I see in their previews even if I want to grumble and turn rebel. But they have won me over, body and soul. Count me in on...

I hope CoB sells out soon because I want this to become a classic in the future. Then, one day I can show it to my grandchildren (they play D&D 7th Ed* -full electronic contend. The new idea there: PI print initiative, for a nominal fee you can get print contend to your online stuff). "That" I...

That is an integral part of the marketing strategy. 4.5 will clear up the bugs, typos and errata.

Just let us open ENworld to all editions of D&D and all D20 Stuff as it is now, was and will be. Let us start the true EI (electronic initiative) Honestly, there are so many 3.5 players out there, so many campaigns still in full swing a nd to come (Pathfinder anyone?) and so many prestige...

Just think back to 05. Who designed Irone Heroes, the alternate Players Handbook for Malhavoc Press? Yes, it was Mike Mearls! My guess is that he takes much of his design ideas for IH to 4th ed. Now I am exited too.

It is understandable but it was nonetheless a rather dodgy statement in february this year. Sell us the old crap stuff they curned out this year before they sell us the new shiny books! Such is marketing. I do not feel cheated, it is how it is.

But...but... the are eeeeeeevil! :]

http://www.icv2.com/articles/home/11123.html That also probably means that 3x products will have to be converted to 4ed and it will take a lot of work. Far easier to buy the shiny new products. Campaign conversions, new splatbooks of course and so on. This is how it will be. Nonetheless, it...

Hmmm, didn't they say only recently that 4ed was a long time away? Working on it since 05 they MUST have known that 4ed was due next year. Or am I wrong? Edited: It seems not, from the inoffical 4th ed site on these boards:

Yes, it is coincidence. Somehwere between page 1 and here Erik Mona mentioned that they were in the dark concerning 4th ed too. As for Pathfinder, they have no plans yet but they will listen to what the subscribers/buyers say. I believe them.
