It's a nice article. I know for myself that I'm coloring the first campaign with the Shadowfell a lot. It will be an oppressive force for the heroic tier, then a direct foe in the paragon tier, and then the Epic tier will focus on the new God I made, comprised of a billion of the most sadistic...

I can't read all this at the moment, unfortunately, but still feel like commenting, so here it goes: I like the 4E system in a way. It will be all right BECAUSE I think, in 4E, it will just be easier to make a new Class than to try and make a 50/50 split character. This is fine by me. A single...

I voted 8. I suppose I could have gone to a 9 but I had a notch of excitement killed with the possible GSL "poison pill" thing. This is important to me because I believe the OGL helps the industry itself and, while it is their right to do so, any move that negatively effects it will be...

If I heard someone near me say "blaggard" I would naturally assume they were a hair lip accusing me of boasting. Thank goodness I've learned the truth before the next gaming convention!

I don't think I would necessarily like the Life Point mechanic as presented, but I sure would like SOME kind of variant in there. I like the more cinematic feel healing in 4E but I still want SOME way to cause wounding, long-lasting damage now and then. I really would have been all over a...

So, do you guys pronounce drow like "cow" or "though"?

I'm not sure that they will. Maybe, I don't know. I'm of the opinion that we ARE supposed to use DM fiat for that sort of thing, which is fantastic. Honestly, the PCs aren't peeking behind our screens and they don't know what we fiat in or not. If our adventures need angels to have the ability...

I don't think you really intend to give it 4E a fair chance. I think you WANT to, as you said, but I don't think you intend to. Probably as a byproduct of your (by your own admission) irrational dislike for the system before it's even out. If you do manage to put your dislike aside and give it...

They look much easier to read. I see it's been said that the books look to have too much white space, but I think it's just a better layout. I know that, with 3E, the books really, really irritated me. I NEVER just found myself glancing through the books for inspiration because they were a pain...

I like the changes, mostly. The mercenary thing I'm "bleh" about, but I don't think it matters since my players won't care since it doesn't effect them directly. I like the damage the angel can do, which is nice, and I like that it will probably be a creature I use against my PCs, which would be...

I play MERP all the time and love it so would definitely buy, if only to own, any Middle Earth setting, provided it was accurate and not somebody's "interpretation" of the books. Making changes like that is one of the reasons why I loathed the movies and had to walk out on one of them (RotK)...

I have no idea what an adventure "book" would entail. Most likely just an adventure module, though I think it would be great to release an entire Adventure Path in book format, from beginning to end. Now THAT I would buy. For every setting they release. It would be awesome to have one book with...

I thought everyone knew. The horn IS a straw. The green dragon can suck down a meal in the time the average gamer could suck down a can of Rockstar. The horns along the side of his head are to help prepare his meal. He twists his head around at high speed, like a blender. Then sucks it all up...

For me, Planescape was never about the Great Wheel, which didn't really ever seem to matter to anything. It was about the Doors, the Factions and the ideals they each represented--which were, I admit, tied to the separate alignments and planes but I hated that so treated them as principles writ...

I don't think Planescape would be difficult to do. They could even use the Great Wheel, if they wanted, but I wouldn't care either way as I was a HUGE Planescape fan and the Great Wheel was never important to me, just the way things were set up. Sigil, the City of Doors, would just be pure...

No big deal, especially now that we know what's going on. And thanks for the clarification "in person". It goes a long way. Much appreciated. :)

Just a misunderstanding, then. Hopefully it all gets fed through the pipe at an acceptable pace. :)

That sounds fair, and a lot better than a canceled interview (canceled after receiving the questions, no less, hehe). Just a misunderstanding. My benefit of the doubt was not wasted!

Were the questions too hard? :) Seriously, this is disappointing. Hopefully, though, they don't shy away from the important, and therefore uncomfortable, questions in favor of over-the-plate fluff questions. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, though.

I could see a Monk Controller, but I think it doesn't work effectively unless you go Wuxia on it and start doing more of a Ki power source instead of Martial. You know, whipping his robe around and causing hurricane winds, stomping the ground to cause it to explode, etc. Completely Ki. But a...
