Desmodu would be my most hated new race.

Well, I suppose I wouldn't have minded lizardmen as a new race, and I can pretend dragonborn are just lizardmen I guess. Not exactly an inspiring choice. My dragonborn Dragon Shaman just got himself a Dragonsword +3! Awesome! I hope my Dragon god, Bahamut, doesn't mind that I use it to clear...

I always thought The Mist was one of King's better stories. Not sure that it'll be a good movie though.

Because a yak is a stubborn cow with a sillier name. A villainous yak might decide not to follow you when you pulled its rope. Or it might eat too much grass. Maybe it'll kick you.

Hooray! I'm famous! I'd like the thank the little people of ENWorld, you poor, sad idiots. I'm only awesome in comparison to you. Thanks.

I liked the episode... even with the glaring plot hole. Okay, so Claire's blood brings people back from the dead. And they had Adam in captivity for 30 years? Why then did they need Claire at all? Didn't they bother to get some of Adam's blood? Why not? Wouldn't that have been a good idea...

Well, 3.5e DOES have game mechanics for pushing people into pits. It's called a Bull Rush. They just happen to be terrible, useless, and mostly unused mechanics. The point isn't that they players could do this. The point is that if pits are somehow too powerful for DMs to use, then they...

And what's this about no pits? Don't you think there might be a problem with the DM just not including pits? How about this one... DM: There's an orc camp ahead... Players: DIG A PIT! That we we can just wait for them to come to us, and we can push them all in. DM: What? Uh... Well...

WTF? So much for speeding up combat. That's not terrain, that's turning a 5 foot step into a Greek Epic. Terrain: Barglerocks. If the player steps on a barglerock and it's a Tuesday they take a Reflex +12 attack or suffer 1d12 points of fire damage, unless they are immune to fire, or they...

The new dryad is stupid. I'm fine if they want a new sort of dryad, just don't replace what a classical dryad is.

Heavy armor = full plate. Medium armor = breastplate. Anything else, and you're just not trying or you've got some mithril or something. Who the heck thought that was a good system? Let's give the players interesting decisions: They can (a) have crap armor or (B) pay 20 gold more! Stupid...

On the downloadable content score, I don't have a problem at all with the various fees being charged for the downloadable content. The only way you're going to get a healthy variety of content is to charge something for it. What I DO wish was that it wasn't such a walled garden. People should...

Yeah, those rules are crazy, and I just don't believe anyone ever uses them. The rules should just be something like: Good maneuverability: may move your speed in any direction at any time (can you "run" while flying?). Average maneuverability: must move your speed each turn. may change...

I hate it's a Small World. Not nearly as cool as the one where the animatronic Lincoln fights the animatronic bears in the tiki tiki tiki tiki room. Bear: "Ya'll been taken away my slaves! I'm gonna have a jamboree on yer grave!" Lincoln: "No you won't, because I have the power of music!"...

I think this is essentially what they are doing with the new setting. A less funky, out-of-the-box, no knowledge required, generic fantasy setting.

Ah, well. All I remember was that I had to sit through that AND Falcon Crest before the really good stuff came on. :)

They're creating a single pantheon for their new setting which is a mix of deities. And they're going through a god massacre in FR. Related? Perhaps. Don't know. It's perhaps improbable that they would try to standardize all of the gods. But they still need to go through a "Time of...

I'm talking about saying, "Remember everything we ever published? Yeah. We're going to remake it. All of it. The Timelines in all of the settings are reset to 'zero'. Don't get too comfortable, things may happen a little bit differently this time around." (Okay, maybe doesn't make sense...

And suddenly shifting the entire pantheon is not going to have an effect your ongoing campaign? Or going through some sort of spellplague transition period? You can keep running a campaign without official support just as you could reboot without official support. Just as you could keep...

Okay, I've read the article about the new pantheon. I'm okay with the decision but seriously, I wish they'd just REBOOT the damn settings. It was all a dream. JR is alive. Start it all over again with the new pantheons. The Time of Troubles hasn't happened yet. Temple of Elemental Evil...
