    A simple idea to make EN World even better...

    Hmmm... you are right. Perhaps I can repost it here with all due credit. (This is not mine it is from: HOUSE RULE FOR OSR AND NOT-OSR GAMES + PEOPLE (BLOGS « Joeskythedungeonbrawler’s Blog I have altered the original with regards to all caps and some spelling.) ---Start Quote--- If you make a...

    A simple idea to make EN World even better...

    Not my idea but enthusiastically shared from Joeskythedungeonbrawler’s Blog. Warning the below link is in all CAPS and somewhat hard to read I have attempted to repost it a few replies down so the message does not get lost in the delivery. Here is a link: HOUSE RULE FOR OSR AND NOT-OSR GAMES +...

    What Makes Gaming Books as PDFs Desirable?

    I would just like to second the request for a format other than pdf. Computer screens are terrible to read on but I have yet to find an e-ink reader that can display dnd pdfs decently due to reflow issues. Funny enough since I got the ddi compendium app for my phone I almost never drag books to...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    Another idea/question; to me it seems most people went to pf if not happy with 4e. How could wotc make something like "old" dnd and yet sufficiently different to steal people back from pf? Seems like it would be very difficult. Oh and I do read a number of the 4e books for fun, just odd that...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    First I want to apologize for my use of the phrase "nerd rage" I think my first impression was colored by what is a minority of posts on this thread. It just begins to feel odd to haved liked every edition of dnd. I suppose those that are happy usually are quieter. To attempt to add some...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    All I can say is every edition of DnD has had this same problem. If you want lethal systems there are many others. If you want to tell a good RP story then tell the DM you are diving to your death and the character is finished. Very few DM's would complain if there was a well thought out, in...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    After seeing yet another one of these threads do people honestly wonder why WotC PR no longer caters to this board? This is no longer really a DnD board in the 4e sense, it is very much a 3.5/pathfinder house by at least 50% or more according to polls. I also wonder where all of these full...

    Tomb of Horrors, Demonomicron, and more @ Premiere FLGS

    Just a side note is there somewhere that Premiere FLGS are listed?

    July Errata is up

    Hmm interesting. I have to say I have not seen a Wizard in our group take the original MM since 4e has been out, even the Human ones so maybe this will rectify this. On the other hand I also agree that it could have been a additive change. Oh well maybe we will get a Dragon article renaming...

    What is going on with the release schedule? Now metaplot?

    Sadly I think WotC are caught between a rock and a hard place as the previous complaints about MM1 & 2 were "Where is the fluff, these are boring to read!" In writing decent fluff some direction has to be taken and thus risks alienating some fans. It does look like the vocal "give us fluff"...

    How Much for that Dragon in the Window?

    I would pay them pretty well. 1000gp/HD seems reasonable. The real question is, are both the parents dead? Also if they are sold to the highest bidder who nows what those entities may do with them down the road (insert evil DM laugh here)

    Playing Evil Races (D&D Outsider)

    Love the work OGtR. What do you thinks of some of the monsters from your list making a comeback in MM3?

    What Do The languages Sound Like?

    Dwarves are usually Scots, Russian or German accents depending on what region they come from IMC. I can always picture them or Duergar mining while pounding out the rhythms of Du Hast. YouTube - ramstein- du hast.

    DDI Questions

    I don't know if this will factor in to your decision but you can access the DDI Compendium via mobile devices which is a great way to reference specific rules without lugging all the books around. I love it on my android using the Sylloge app.

    My version of a D&D movie

    Other than the obvious LotR especially for 1st & 2nd edition. I have found 13th Warrior to be a great movie version of a DnD adventure. Without spoiling too much; Heroes are summoned by a king to help him. Traveling is dangerous. The main character picks up a language proficiency on the way...

    Has lack of an insider account kept you from playing 4E?

    It is under the Manage tab then under Campaign settings.

    Has lack of an insider account kept you from playing 4E?

    Just a sidenote to all the DMs worried about players wanting to use everything in the default DDI, make sure to create a custom campaign file for it and send it out to your players. They won't even see options you don't want to include and I have found it to be quite granular. Sent from my...

    Footwork Lure & Unstoppable Advance interaction?

    If a character uses the fighter at-will Footwork Lure while in the Unstoppable Advance stance (Fighter Daily 1) does the player get to decide the order in which the movement effects kick in?

    Any Mini Painters for Hire?

    Where has the market place gotten off to? I was thinking at least 15-20 dollars per fig depending on complexity. I would want to pay at least $10/hour plus supplies. The issue is I don't know how much time is realistic for an experienced painter?
