Me neither, for all the reasons Scott stated. Plus, it's a mini you can use for jell-o shots. Or, of course, you can just have your party set upon by a band of vicious jell-o shots...

Seconded. I waste far too much time responding to things I should really just ignore. ;)

Sounds good to me! Given that the whole point of DN is that the players ARE in fact players who were at one point playing games, taking that metagame a step further and saying "Our Champions game? The Vampire game? Those were all OTHER DeathNet sims you guys were playing." Thus, as the...

Nope nope nope. First you had the 12,000 1-pages. Then you had the 11 10-pages. Honestly, I don't remember if they gave us a specific format or just "give us a more concrete overview of the world." Tone and Setting, geography, religion, types of characters, threats people would face, examples...

Hey Dagobert! I'm glad to hear SOMEONE'S enjoying DeathNet - it's certainly been a while. Perhaps I'll have to get a game going over here. To answer your question, Asmor, Tron and eXistenZ are certainly inspirations; it is based on the idea of people trapped in a world of video games. The...

Personally, I want to sit in on the meeting where you tell Oprah all about Fiendish Codex III. Throw in The Book of Erotic Fantasy II and The Book of REALLY Vile Darkness too. (Not that I've got no love for the yugoloth - I'd just like to see how Oprah takes in the whole explanation of the Blood...

And by comparison, in Secrets of Xen'drik you get the stats for the docent Shira, but it DOESN'T mention the happenings of The Shattered Land or The Gates of Night (which, if they occured, would certainly prevent your players from ever getting their hands on Shira). I consider the SOURCEBOOKS to...

Just as a point: I don't know if that's actually true. I know it's true in MY novels, because there's an important magic item which appears in Secrets of Xen'drik which intentionally says nothing about the events surrounding it in its appearance in The Dreaming Dark trilogy. For me, one of...

Eberron Novels Just as a note: I've seen a number of posts on this board addressing the fact that in Eberron, the novels "Aren't canon." I don't know if that's actually true. I know it's true in MY novels, because there's an important magic item which appears in Secrets of Xen'drik which...

I actually just answered this question in some detail for an interview (I'm not at liberty to say what for just yet), so I'm going to leave it for that. Of course, I'm fairly certain I've answered this question before, so someone else may know my answer. ;)

I've actually written an Eberron Expanded article on Book of Nine Swords that will appear at some point. I presented a number of options based on the degree to which you want to integrate it into the world - extraordinarily rare? Commonplace? - with different connections to history and culture...

It was a fairly close process. Between the 10-page and 100 page stages, they flew all the finalists out and told us (individually) "Here's things we like about your setting, here's things we don't like so much." Once they made the final choice, they flew me back out for a week of intense...

Personally, I've never used Incarnum, so I'm not in a position to make any suggestions there. I use warlocks in many different ways. Contrary to PGtE, I don't feel that there's a single path to it - though I think it makes sense to base your invocations on the explanation of your powers. An...

Honestly? This is a case of the needs of the story superceding what we might see as logical. In my earliest vision, the "magic level" of Eberron was higher, and I was considering magical sidearms. But the problem is that frankly, once you replace bow and sword with the wand or even the fully...

Funny you should mention that... ;)

Eh, just a few thoughts. In general I agree that wands would be specialist weapons similar to rocket launchers or mortar - used by specialists attached to a squad, but not carried by common soldiers. Beyond this, I'll note that a few large-scale weapons have been suggested in the past that...

Not entirely true. The warforged entry in FoW states (page 101) "Even the rawest warforged deployed in battle is a trained fighter rather than a mere warrior, which helped to justify the expense of a construct soldier." This is born out in the following stat blocks. Meanwhile, the earlier...

I believe there's lots of room to expand on the culture of, for example, the sahuagin in Eberron. I've already touched on this in Secrets of Xen'drik and The Shattered Land. However, without going into details (given that WotC does own the original proposal, I think my NDA still applies)...

Bill did it? Now I've heard three explanations. MY recollection was that James proposed the idea of the halflings riding dinosaurs instead of more mundane mounts, because his kid happened to be in a dinosaur phase and the decision was that the nomadic halflings needed more exotic mounts. I...

And in Eberron, you have two friends on this front: the Last War and the Dragonmarked Houses. As I play it, the Last War hangs over EVERYTHING in Khorvaire. The war only ended two years ago, and no one believes it's over for good. Scars of the war can be seen across the countryside. The people...
