    Adventures in the Northern Reach (Leesburg Virginia)

    Read the first post for some campaign details, otherwise reply below, Role-playing style? Informal, I guess would be a valid description. No one gets into "voice", but more like my character does this and that... On the hand, several players do develop set codes of conduct in battle that they...

    17% guessed 4th ed would be released, 83% did not.

    They are not stopping the printing of the hardback books. They have repeated that several times, at least over on their own boards while discussing the DI effort. Below is one quote from Rich Baker about the dearth of real products in the 1st quarter 2008. Mind you that this quote pertains...

    17% guessed 4th ed would be released, 83% did not.

    They are providing further details on their Digital Initiative and Gleemax projects, the cancellation of the magazines, etc. Hopefully we will get some solid details on what the planned content (articles and online tools) are going to be. The pricing plan options avialable are also very...

    Complete Champion excerpts

    Honestly I feel this is still not enough of a limitation. IMV its still very much a powerful feat and furthermore its leading to changes in the game play to something I don't care for. I am not purchasing this book and have cancelled by order with Amazon for it. Perhaps it is a over reaction...

    Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

    Didn't WW chose not to renew Ravenloft and Gamma World because the product's sales did not return the revenue they expected (over the years they had the license) and therefore did not want to continue paying the yearly license fee any longer? If I remember reading correctly from WW own boards.

    What do you prefer? Long home campaigns or Adventure Paths with an end?

    About a year is fine in general As a player levels 1-12 are fine with me and hopefully keep it under a year. After that I get burned out. I tried high-level and epic play a couple of times with different DMs and did not care for it. As a DM I will only run levels 1-10 (homebrew campaign)...

    DDO is dead!

    The fights were the best part. You could actually form shields with the fighter, paladin, and cleric, go full defense, raise your to block mode and hold a corridor, then have the other three party members rain downs arrows or spells on your enemies. There was a couple of cave-volcano...

    LotR MMORPG open beta through April 24

    Very very buggy, I can run Fear, Half-Life 2, DDO, and Battlefield 2142, but have many problems with MEO. I can't run it for more than ~10 minutes before my graphic cards has to reset and eventually if locks up my PC. There seems to be some kind of memory issue in the code,even at the lowest...

    DDO is dead!

    As Steel Wind said above Atari had nothing to do with it. Turbine paid Atari for the license to make DDO, but otherwise self financed it themselves. They wanted as much self-control as possible for design reasons. Of course that means when the money runs out, they have to deliver what they...

    Non-random D&D Miniatures

    Get rid of the distributors? Then the whole shipping, warehousing, selling, billing, and collections falls on WOTC directly (that's a lot of overhead they don’t have right now), so you won't really save anything but perhaps the percentage that the distributor and retailers took as profit...

    Which level cap do you prefer?

    I vote 6th, but I am happy to run 1 - 8, but 9th and above my interest as a DM plummets and I will not run a epic-level game. My players tell me that I run a gritty down-to-earth type game, with a good mix of richly detailed melee battles and plenty of opportunities for role-playing. I prefer...

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

    Yep and that we will get about a year's notice before it hits the streets. Thus a announcement at D&D Experience 2008 and a release at D&D Experience 2009 would be valid.

    Wizard of the Coast Updated Product Listing!

    Nope, check out Andy Collin's response (on his website's discussion board) to people asking for this book. None of the customer responses peaked my interests to buy FCIII.

    A Community SRD?

    FWIW, I always interpreted WOTC design/intent of the OGL to be: Designer A creates "OGL Chariot Ruleset", which includes rules for types of chariots, movement rules, weapons/armor of chariots, attack rules, feats and even PrC for chariot drivers/warriors.... and sells it within a HC book or...

    Would the D&D brand manager please stand up.

    I believe you want Chris Perkins (sp?), I believe at GENCON he said that was his title. Also at one of the seminars he stated that he reads WOTC's own boards for feedback, no mention of other boards. Regarding what's up with the game, d/l the August 2006 GENCON's seminar "State of D&D", it was...

    Heroforge version 5 released

    It will not work with Apple machines. They have asked many times for an Apple programmer (with VB) to step forward and help, but no one has. Also there were rumors on the HF board, about future versions of MAC/Office moving from Visual Basic to Applescript, which further negates any chance of...
