My comment was more a general observation than a specific one. The origin was the reference to 2/3rds of a poll saying the name D&D mattered so much that if you gave a completely different system the name D&D they would play it just because of that name. And a similar percentage would not play...

As noted the art was the worst part of the BoEF, they could have done much better with illustrations. It's not like there are a lack of people drawing sexually explicit images, I submit about 30% of the internet as proof. The fluff was usually well thought out and could be incorporated into...

Not many, but you should consider asking if you can customize from a baseline race. The Pixie isn't really playable as written, but can be used to create another race that could. See if the DM will lower LA for dropping various SLAs and such. Dumping Greater Invisibility, the various SLAs...

Wine and blood must flow bring forth the sacrifices! We have a new convert!

Watch the first Underworld film, aside from the transformation scenes where there was a little CGI work to smooth things out it was all live. The Lycan "giant deathbeast" forms were done with makeup, suits, and some leg extending prosthesis. The heads were the most difficult part and were...

Of course but as in Iconic Bestiary you can always have a "Tentacled Brain Devourer" or a "Shadow Cat" with a little creativity. To put in some words Unveiled Masters is a great resource and so is the Ithilliad both had better fluff on Mindflayers than the 3e offerings at least in my opinion...

There are several ways to do PoL, both low and high threat. But the use of Light tends I think to make people gloss over the core idea. It's a setting that actively works to prevent or destroy civilization, all civilization. The Points in question can be Light or Dark they can be from any...

Its when I see posts like the OP that I wonder how many plants are on these boards. Wouldn't be unreasonable for a company WoTC's size to detail a couple of their tech people to create some sockpuppets and try to push their own products a few hours a week. Seen it done before with other products.

If it were closer I'd go but it's just too long a trip.

A wretched hive of scum & villiany looks fine to me

Which tends to give with my experience that only about 1/3rd of people really classify as human opposed to livestock.

I expect a werecreature to look inhuman, digitigrade legs, claws, a animal head. Otherwise it's just the guy-in-makeup syndrome. Not impressive at all just boring. Much as the movies weren't so good the werewolves in Underworld were very well done and with little cgi.

whoever said he actually created us we're totally just one of the Flying Spaghetti Monster's bad trips.

Let me reinforce this Throughout history and even prehistory the spear has actually been the preeminent weapon of muscle-powered cultures. The sword was as much status symbol as weapon, axes have their own drawbacks. But the *pointy stick* has been killing people for a long time. Just ask...

No Mourn I fully understand your post. What I was trying to say is that its changes are inherently nonsensical for an entire segment of the market it seeks to capture. Beyond that I agree with Gnomewerks that I anticipate the "always contribute" faction will ultimately win out and invalidate...

Mourn I swear you are the most annoying poster on this board, you've just turned yourself into the prophet of the One True Game and everyone else into badwrongfun. Get over it. Some of us might see it as an entirely valid form of encounter design. Sometimes you hit things that just suck for...

Sparks can be an asshat I know. Unfortunately his behavior kind of messes up a concept that has a few important core ideas that could do with some attention, leaving those of us who are attempting to get some attention to potentially valuable changes in a bad light via his interference. And...

That art is truly beautiful. I swear I recognize the style, and they're all sepias. Is it the guy who does all those White Wolf sepia pieces? I'd buy it for the art alone, just gorgeous. EDIT: Dragon meet SAM, SAM say hello to Dragon! Aww I had a little friend but he don't move no more!

In my experience at least 4e fixed few of the problems at high power levels. About the only thing it took care of was the outrageous escalation of high-tech damage and DR as seen in 3e settings like OGRE. It still breaks down at roughly the same spot.

I knew it!
