Yeah, both of those, especially the 2nd one, are exactly the kind of stuff I'd like to see. Although I was initially kind of kidding.

Oh yeah, and I like the fact that Mike "Iron Heroes" Mearls is in on it. I love the hell out of Iron Heroes.

Luis Royo. ...what?

I finally got to put in a solid, eight-hour session of SAGA this past weekend. Color me impressed. I played a Jedi, focused more on force tricks than lightsaber combat. I used notecards to produce a hand of cards for my powers, with the rules sketched out on them. It seriously was like all...

This is exactly what I was going to suggest. "Today is undead, tomorrow is humanoids, Friday is planar beings..." This would make my life as a DM so much easier.

I already blow through any charged item I don't sell outright. I mean, look at a wand of fireballs. You could set it off every single combat, 14 combats a level, and you'd gain near to four levels before it burned out. If it was just about cool when you got it, it'd be near useless by the...

I can play the game without them, obviously. *shrug* I suppose that's the way I want to use the term, 'core.' The PHB/DMG/MM triad are sort of the essential elements of a d&d campaign, along with a homebrew campaign. I suppose one could homebrew all kinds of stuff, like monsters, so the line...

I buy new games *all the time.* If 4E manages the following two conditions, I'm most likely going to buy it. 1. It doesn't suck. 2. It seems likely to get a lot of play-time. If it sucks, I won't buy it because I try not to buy games that suck. Regardless of what you've seen on the...

I like to imagine they're going to fix summoned monsters, and I suspect that the Minion rules are going to be related to this.

Damn skippy. I'd play the hell out of a MtG roleplaying campaign. It'd need rules for large-scale strategic and logistical operations, though. It's not all going to be skirmish-level, anymore.

The best solution I've ever seen was in M&M. You say what your profession is. You pick some skill that you and the GM agree would cover it, and that's the skill you use for any 'profession' roles. Yeah, it may add a touch of utility to the skill. Whatever. I'd say intuit direction would be...

There's some kind of monkey race in Oriental Adventures. They have a climb speed, as I recall.

Unless, like I suggested above, the innkeep is a Minion-level adversary and only has two spaces on his condition track - Up and Down.

Profession I'd get rid of, Craft I'd probably keep...forging masterwork swords and stuff like that is still kinda cool. Who can forget the intro to LotR where Sauron pounds away in his forge, making the One Ring? I'm not saying there's no other way to do it, and in fact a few crafting feats or...

The way you limit this is with trained/untrained uses. An adventurer can't perform brain surgery, no matter what kind of bonus he'd theoretically get to the heal roll, if he isn't trained. Similar with craft. You can cobble together an awesome raft out of barrels and detritus, in order to...

That image of mental struggle is *precisely* what I was going for. Yeah...now that you mention it, someone has talked about Sleep. So I have less to worry about. Thank you both for the compliments.

Well, the current plan at my table is that the GM is going to take a break, and I'm going to run a game of 4E for a while to give him time to reflect. At that time, we'll decide whether to convert or whatever. I will probably be using material from the Last Point of Light stuff that's been...

I would like to see Birthright done well. I mean, crazy awesome well. I'd also like to see Greyhawk come back, but I probably wouldn't actually be pleased with what we got if they did it. Really, what I say when I mean Greyhawk is a more Sword & Sorcery style setting, where PCs are dirty...

Cross-Posted from RPG.net The following is mostly outright speculation. We have some reasons to believe that defense values are in rather than saves, but the condition track is just something I'd *like* to see. There have been statements from the WotC employees that 4E is moving away from...

I recently moved here from the city, and I'm looking to put together or work my way into a good solid group. I've got one guy I know well up in Gladstone who is interested. It looks right now like we'd end up playing on Tuesday or Wednesday. Fair notice: We've historically been pretty gonzo...
