    Are they replacing D&D's blacktop playground with foam?

    Well, there were some good parts in that book that I use .... gave me some really good ideas for campaign development and torments i could use on the PCs... No, seriously, It was crap, but at least it was fun reading. :D

    Explain the appeal of critical fumbles to me

    Now that's an Idea. I believe Avalanche had something like this somewhere in their "historical" line, and there was a chance of dying from infected wounds after a fight.

    Why Have You Left A Game or Campaign?

    I have left campaign because of play style, especially when it involves no world / character development, and far too much combat. of course, when that happened, the players and DMs had their share of resonsibility : after all they enjoyed wasting their time over this.

    D&D 4E Does a 4e Campaign Setting allowing PCs to play when they die appeal to you?

    I thought that PC death had been declared unfun in 4e and had been outlawed ? :confused: So I don't think there will be much need for it, event though this is a good idea (you are a nostalgic of Ghostwalk ?)

    The Myth of the Bo9S's Popularity

    Back when there was serious management at WOTC, I remember an article stating that if everyone wants one feat, this means it is BROKEN. Was not 4e a paragon of game balance supposed to improve on the oh-so-broken-and-not-fun 3.x bad,bad,bad game ?

    Martin update

    I did, and I loved it, though I was disappointed he did not take the path of the previous books, and split the series in two camps. Anyways, who else can pull this off nowadays ? I hope he can finish the whole and I am looking forward to it.

    The Myth of the Bo9S's Popularity

    I have bought it out of habit back when I was still buying WOTC. I have not even felt the curiosity to crack the cover open.

    Design & Development: Traps is up!

    Wow. Some ideas from WOTC that make sense at last. This is the 2nd thing I like about 4e. Way to go... No seriously, at least, this seems like a good thing to me. Really. No sarcasm here. If only it had been done earlier ...

    New TV series - "The Grognard"

    That's too good to be true. It would mean that a TV show cared about D&D to begin with, and then, it would mean that WOTC had enough critical sense to submit themselves to such an exercise. Good fun though.

    Subverting other sources for D&D. . .

    Video Games ! The Witcher is HOT !!!! In fact I am considering creating a witcher class. Problem will be balancing it. Other problem is all players wanting to play it after playing the video game.

    Would you use Fire Archons in 3.5?

    While this may be one case where 3.5 kills 4e and takes it stuff, no.

    No more Malcanthet?

    Just that, maybe no. But let's talk about the wizard, shall we ? At least, Wow is the popular game of choice now. it's not dance-dance revolution. Hell wait, that could be better in fact, since we would get the bard back.

    Castlemourn

    It looks very good. I bought it, and even though I have no plans to run a game in it in the near future, it is definitely good value. There are good ideas, interesting locales ... very good. Art is good too. My main reproach seems to be too much magic yet again. as for 4e...

    Why I Intend to Purchase the 4th Edition Books

    Ah ok, I think I'm getting it more : You think people give far too much attention to the virtuel world, and since 4e will be less "escapist" than previous editions (and other geek-related hobbies), it will provide a "safer" , more casual kind of entertainment more akin to traditional games ? A...

    Why I Intend to Purchase the 4th Edition Books

    Wow, long post. Not sure if I understood everything you meant to say. if i'm getting you right, you say 4e is going to be a better hobby than the previous editions have been because it provides you with something in real life ? That's fine for you. Right now, 3e is quite useful to me, and 4e...

    What Are You Going To Do With the Money You're Not Spending on New WotC 3.X products?

    Complete non-WOTC few missing items. Then complete missing miniature collection. Especially Reaper, Freebooter and Dark sword. What ? No ! No plastic mini ever again. Then ... save a lot of money. That can be spent on books, video games, records, bookshelves, clothes ... lavished upon...

    D&D 3.x 3.5: Out With A Whimper

    No : Reverse Dungeon was a comedic adventure. You played a tribe of poor weak evil little goblins, against the uber-good uber-powerful adventurers. Very fun ! :D My longtime players still remember their time at it.

    D&D 3.x 3.5: Out With A Whimper

    There were two of those : "the apocalypse Stone" "Die ! Vecna Die !" and then you could also include "Tale of the Comet" and the last Planescape adventure , "Faction War" So yes, at the time, they were trying to do things right. Sort of. These products were kinda OK, but I did not really...
