    D&D 4E The Daily "4e is Coming! Theory" Thread

    I heard that it's going to be played Magic style.

    Frustrated with camapign design

    I second this. Listen to what your players are saying. If one of them wants to find the legendary sword of ogre decapitation he recently learned of, you have an adventure. If your mage wants to establish some sort of school sometime in the future, you have an adventure. If the thief wants to...

    D&D 4E The Daily "4e is Coming! Theory" Thread

    What 4E thread would be complete without a "What I Would Like To See In 4th Edition" type list? 1. Different Mechanics For Subraces. Instead of different ability modifiers for subraces within a given race, I would like to see something along the lines of the system used in The Wheel of Time...

    Whole lotta lurkin' goin' on

    I'm one of those, as you can see, that have less than 100 posts. My lack of posts is probably due to not wanting to post unless I have something useful to say. Doesn't mean that I don't try to contribute, but I just want to make sure that I'm not spamming needlessly - probably an unwarranted...

    How on earth did I miss THAT?!? :confused: Thanks for the link, Morpheus.

    Eberron player primer?

    Yup, that's just what I did, mhacdebhandia. Typed up the ten most important features of Eberron in Word, then printed it out. Hmm, actually, I still have that in my Eberron folder. D'ya think it would be okay to copy/paste that into this thread, or would that violate copyright law?

    do you play any non-d20 games? If so, what?

    Traveller 4th edition - Great fun, but starship design was a headache. Haven't played in years. GURPS - Another game that we enjoyed. Actually thinking about picking up the 4th edition, and maybe running a Rifts-style game with those rules. Rifts - I really like the setting, but the system...

    GMs, why are *you* doing the GMing in your group?

    I chose "because I have to", but it's really both. I do enjoy running the games, but I'm really the only DM in the group. A couple of the others have had a turn behind the screen, but they have shown no desire to run a game lately. I suspect women might be involved, and I plan to root out this...

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    I predict one of the following: 1. A product that will give gamers detailed rules for creating their own races, classes, and prestige classes. 2. A product that will help DM's run low-magic campaigns (which could be interesting). 3. The setting information for running campaigns in the world...

    [June] What are you reading?

    Finished Winter's Heart and Crossroads of Twilight, in anticipation of Knife of Dreams. Now I'm reading Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison. Also reading through Mike Stackpole and Aaron Alston's X-Wing Series (again). After I'm done with those, I'm gonna read through Harry Potter again.

    AARRRGGH!! (Random gaming observation)

    Well, it's like the old saying: When you do something right, no one remembers. When you do something wrong, no one forgets. :D

    New SW Products?

    First, let me say that the following is just speculation. I think that the reason there has been no new SWd20 SB's is simple: WotC is putting the finishing touches on a new Core Rulebook. See, the current core book (revised) came out in 2002, just in time for the the release of the Attack...

    Eberron Question

    Edit: Nevermind :p

    Mike Mearls is a Genius

    Absolutely. When I first paged through the ECS, I thought that the Shadowrun core story would work well here. After further reading, I thought that the Star Wars core story would also work well. Ditto for LotR. And I'm almost 100% positive that there are others to be found. Eberron supports...

    George R.R. Martin novel news

    Memo to Mr. Martin (and Mr. Jordan, too): While I am anticipating the next books in A Song of Ice and Fire and The Wheel of Time, it's frustrating that the number of books in these series grew beyond what was originally stated, i.e. Wheel of Time was originally slated to be 6 or 7 books, IIRC...

    Did anyone else notice this about Star Wars?

    I put the answer in the first spoiler tag, in case someone else reading this doesn't want to know. Yes, the Jedi Starfighter underwent another design change. Sadly, one of the changes did not include a hyperdrive. This tag contains some information on two other spaceships seen in the opening...

    Which settings are worth looting?

    Here's my list: Eberron (the setting for my campaign) Forgotten Realms (magic items, spells, monsters, concepts) Ravenloft (monsters, concepts) Dragonlance (monsters, items, spells, concepts) Wheel of Time (concepts) Star Wars d20 ( races :uhoh: ,concepts) Scarred Lands (primarily R&R and CC)...

    Forgotten Realms Novels...which ones are good?

    My two cents: Any of the Salvatore books, including the Cleric Quintet. Any of the Cunningham books. Really enjoyed her stuff. I personally loved Greenwood's Spellfire and related novels, as well as the Shadow of the Avatar trilogy. His Elminster novels were great reads too. I haven't kept up...

    Do you trust the people you game with?

    One of my players insists on having me watch him roll stats, just so that I know that he didn't cheat. On one occasion, I watched him roll, in order: 18, 18, 17, 16, 18, 15. One of the few times I've ever seen it happen. This same player was involved in another game, this time in a Shadow...
