Sadly, the India book never made it out of playtest. It needed extensive rewrites, from what I remember. That was some time ago. Russia, China, Japan, Greece, and Egypt were all done and printed. I know I have all of them except Greece.

I am the DM of a large group (nine players and me) and only a few of them have even read anything about 4e. Those that have read about it are all opposed to changing editions. Mostly it is because they do not like what they have seen so far of the game. Those who do not have the time, or...

<sigh> I guess what I am looking for is a proofreader for my messages. It should say that what I am now looking for is a good miniature of a dwarf with a fairly large mug in his hands.

I have a player joining my game who is creating a Dwarf who is a mug fighter. I got the idea, and the weapon, from a Ronin Arts book (which one, I can't remember). What I am now looking for is a good miniature of a dwarf with a fairly large mug in his hands. I know that Reaper has Nord...

For me, I could actually care less if my dice match. I should take a picture of my box o' dice. It's a handcrafted, carved box from Poland, velvet lined, and full of a big old mish-mash of dice. As long as I have enough dice to roll for things, I do not care what they look like. Well, except...

That's funny, because I started playing RPGs by playing Traveller back in 1979. Since it used "regular" dice (as I thought of a d6 back then) I preferred to use dice I took from other games, which all had pips. Only recently, with the advent of certain dice sets, have I started to notice d6s...

Actually, yeah. Is that a game, an electronic dice roller, or something else? I swear, work makes me feel dumb.

I am just wondering what people prefer on their d6. Do you prefer pips (aka dots) or numbers? I have a rather strong preference for one, but I will hold off a bit to see what others say.

You know, I am one of those folks who have been playing D&D well over 20 years, and until recently I had never heard the word "gish" and had no idea what it meant. I really had to dig around my old gaming stuff when someone mentioned its origins, and even then I could not find it. As for the...

I know that pretty much the only reason I come here is for information on D&D 3.0 and 3.5. Once those stop being the major focus of the site, I will most likely come here less and less. I go to other sites for information on non-D&D related gaming. If I didn't play D&D I would probably have...

OK, since the edition question was answered, I can say that I have played at least one character of all these races and gnomes too. I've only been a DM for 3.x, so I really haven't played that edition, but if I were, gnomes are high on my list.

Not to sound snarky, but of course it is "teef-ling". It's practically a German word, meaning little dark one. In German, the "ie" diphthong is always pronounced like you are saying the letter "e" in the alphabet. I did not realize people were trying to pronounce it any other way.

Not only do I like know, but several of my players like gnomes. In my current campaign world, the gnomes are a major race, running an underground railroad to smuggle dwarves out of the xenophobic, monotheistic dwarven kingdom. The gnomes are the good guys. Elves, strangely enough, are...

Well, you see, I like to give you youngsters a little show of manners every once in awhile, to show you it's not dead. Just so you know, I am 42 years old, have long hair (most likely longer than yours), wear blue jeans, but I gotta tuck in the shirt, and I drink scotch from a glass. Thank you...

Mr. Rouse, I ask you, in your draft of the Players' Handbook, what is the default method of character creation? What is the method used in any examples (if there are any)? What is the method that everyone is assumed to be using when you talk about everything else in that book? If that system...

For you, yes, you were playing D&D. That is how you want to play the game, so it is D&D for you. For me, I would not want to play in that game. Why? In nearly every point-buy game system I have played in I have encountered more min/max, munchkin, fun-sucking "players" then I have in any...

Well, different strokes for different folks, I guess. I've never played a munchkin character, except for playing the Munchkin card game. It's also funny that I have had almost the exact opposite experience you had. The last person I heard about who was a real muchkin type player was one who...

You mean besides D&D, right? Call of Cthulhu comes to mind. Still being made, still being played, still rolling for attributes. I do not own a lot of newer RPGs, so I can't tell you many others, offhand.I am sure if I dig around I will find more.

To be honest, except for what I read people say here on ENWorld, I have never actually met a person who prefers point buy character creation for D&D. Based on what people say here, I must be in an insular environment. I have met, literally, dozens of D&D gamers since 3.0 came out, and easily...

I am not angry about it in the least. I just found it to be one more thing in a laundry list of things I did not find interesting, enjoyable, or fun in what I have heard about 4e. I am glad that this decision by WotC is making a lot of people here happy. I know from personal experience that a...
