Huh. Well, it's kinda neat to have a set path to demigodhood. Sort of depressing to be expected to stop playing the character just when things start to get good, though.

Well, you can do a lot with magic that makes animals bigger, or just use a dire owl. Also, it should have been a druid rather than a Wizard.

I can't conclusively confirm D&D or not, but a buddy of mine plays Call of Cthulhu with him.

Not a bad list, but it needs more Night, Dark, and Terror. Just sayin'. :cool:

Sounds to me like the guy was full of it.

So, how would I set that up as my ringtone? I have a fairly standard cell phone, can I even do it?

I think some radio spots would be cool. And banner ads online.

Well, I too expected a little more content to get tossed up here by the forward agents. I guess there just wasn't as much buildup as there was for DDXP, and not as much motivation to preview-hunt, or maybe it's just taking them a while to get to their machines and post it.

Oh yeah. I'd use a photocopier to make "encounter sheets." Put the stat-blocks for all the monsters you're going to use in a given encounter on just one or two sheets of paper, keyed to that encounter. This will mitigate your book-flipping time, which I expect will add up quickly over the...

I think you could probably pack a fair amount of adventure into 96 pages, if that was your goal.

I'd do it. I think you'll be fine. If you can read fast, you should be able to skim the DMG before they're done getting characters made. Oh yeah, insist on making characters as a group, so they can catch each other's errors and nobody screws up too bad.

I think my dream-tokens would have the picture printed on a heavy ceramic disk, like a professional-grade poker-chip. Still cheaper than minis, easy to store in a tube, and, somehow, sexy. I like the idea of PCs as poker chips. I may return to my conceit of the players actually being deities...

I wouldn't worry too much about a paragon path shoehorning your character into a concept. It looks to me like it's just a small collection of combat stuff under the umbrella of some pretty generic flavor text. Also: I have hated like every little in-character quote they've included in these...

Sounds kind of interesting. I used to do sort of pick-up games at a local game store. It was kind of fun, and I wouldn't mind having something like that again. However, I've got way less patience for crappy players and GMs than I used to, so that's a problem for me. It'd almost be better to...

Together, they fight crime!

I like it. It needs a couple lines at the bottom for the character's will, though. Umm, the last will & testament, kind, not the defense kind.

It's also possible that the number of skills based on any given ability might not be equal. There just might be flat-out MORE skills based on INT, WIS, CHA than the physical stats. That would allow high mental stats to make you a good skill-monkey without resorting to extra trained slots...

D&D can't possibly kill play by post, because there are other games in the world. I'd be shocked if even half of the moderately long-running PBP games out there were based on 3.x. Even if every one of those people switched to playing 4E through D&DI or whatever, there'd still be a big, active...

I'd like playable dragons. Council of Wyrms style. I know this will be nigh-impossible, because dragons tend to be elites or solos, and so it'd be quite a tough thing to match them against a normal PC of the same level, and level adjustments are just...not something I want to see back in the...

Well, the game clearly isn't optimized for PbP play, but I rather doubt that's going to stop anyone who really wants to do it. It's probably one of those games that will work best for players who are in front of a computer all day for some reason, and so are able to reply constantly, all the...
