    what are the ramifications of points-of-light?

    I think a better question is, what plot hooks can you come up with based on pol extrapolations? *The cities that still thrive are probably from the nerathian era, and in addition to strong walls and other resources, probably have things like sewage in place. These sewers are acient, only half...

    What's really at stake in the Edition Wars

    I've never seen the pro-4e side of the debate use disinformation, and i'm pretty sure you're using it by claiming that they do. The equivalancy fallacy is not a legitimate or constructive tactic, it simply obscures the real issues.

    What is, by consensus opinion, obviously broken?

    Is there a summary of Fantasy Craft's approach to treasure up anywhere that you know of? I'd love to look over it.

    What is, by consensus opinion, obviously broken?

    I certainly think something like this could fit for normal purchaces made at paragon tier, but I also think at heroic tier, a lot of people like to loot the bodies and tally up their gold. Yeah, actually on second thought that could work really well as a simple fix to get around the 'alms or...

    What is, by consensus opinion, obviously broken?

    Yeah they really need to recast 'monsy' as 'plot resources' and put them in a meaningful context. So yeah, during heroic tier, you get paid, you buy horses, you bribe a dude, maybe charter a ship, and none of it IMO should interfere with how good your magic sword is. Then you get to paragon...

    What is, by consensus opinion, obviously broken?

    Woo, a functional 4e criticism thread, yayy here are some problems and suggestions *Items need a revamp, possibly a split to more mundane items (incluidng your average sword+x but also cool equipment and such), and fewer, more impressive Magic items. *Likewise on rituals, they need to be...

    What a great storytelling DM looks like

    Yeah I agree that it's not good labeling at all. I do think that good techniques are, hopefully, becoming more common as time goes by, and I think there are notorious eras in the past where frankly bad GMing was overtly pushed in some popular games (like white wolf with it's uber-NPCs and...

    Stuff I want (From you 3pp People)

    No, because you're clearly hung up on semantics. You can't rewrite class progression, big deal. Stop thinking inside the box that WOTC operates in. You can define a class to have any kind of powers you want. Using that method, you can define a bunch of newbie classes, based on anything- you...

    Stuff I want (From you 3pp People)

    Mark, i'm not actually interested in continuing this tangent, you are of course free to post as many excuses and greviances against the GSL as you like. So, getting back to the topic, what would people think about a book introducing a new monster or 'family' of monsters, which included a...

    Stuff I want (From you 3pp People)

    I don't know if it's really constructive for supposed 3pp people to derail the thread into making lots of excuses based on their personal taste and opinions of the GSL. Ok, great, you're not interested. Maybe you can go bitch about the GSL somewhere else, and leave this thread for the people...

    Stuff I want (From you 3pp People)

    Sabathius, you should check out Hard Boiled Armies if you're not already familiar with it. And I'm sure I remember somebody was selling clear plastic altitude thingies for flying miniatures at some point.

    Stuff I want (From you 3pp People)

    How much proof would you need? I'm (slowly) working up to 3pp again (after making the classic mistake of this market) and I fully intend to create a product like the kind being described in this thread- what's more, i'm confident that i'd enjoy doing it, and i've enjoyed the bits and pieces i've...

    Answering Questions about Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons (was: Primal Power Preview)

    Yayyy Bronze dragons are back! Are they still semi-aquatic and fight pirates and stuff? I think that ship sailed when Exalted 1st ed was released and the Solar castes were clearly inspired by Fighters, Clerics, Mages, and Rogues.

    Third Party: If So, Then What?

    On the contrary, I was considering becoming a comunity supporter, but I decided not to because I don't like the way the mods operate. Am I supposed to support the comunity no matter how the comunity acts? I'm supposed to 'step up' so you and your buddies can go on and on and on about how 4e...

    Third Party: If So, Then What?

    So what you were saying was that the potential for innovation is non-infinite? Well golly, that's a very important point i'm glad you made it, I hope you see your way clear to asserting the non-infinite nature of the other issues under discussion. This has very little to do with making 4e...

    Third Party: If So, Then What?

    Yes, you could, easily. So you could say that the grand duchy of blarg survived the fall of nerath but it's in some distant province and here's an adventure in it- maybe some people won't like your adventure, but it's not the huge barrier people are claiming. This is absurd. You can have a...

    Third Party: If So, Then What?

    Frankly I think the opposite is true. I think the negativity and drama coming from people who hate 4e is driving people away and making them less likely to contribute to the broader comunity. Blaming 4e for enworld's problems is an example of the negativity i'm talking about.

    Third Party: If So, Then What?

    I've repeatedly said that I think your opinion is wrong. And I think it's fair to say that you're exagerating a minor issue, or rather, an issue that all products face. Every DM adapts to some degree, all products must take that into account to some degree. No, I am saying it is false that you...

    Third Party: If So, Then What?

    The amount of work is really quite small. A lot of the time all a DM will have to do is plonk the module down in their world and maybe change a deity name or two. You're trying to exagerate a factor which is at best, a minor issue. If somebody is interested in buying 3pp at all, then they're...

    Third Party: If So, Then What?

    Again, you're cherry-picking ideas that are difficult to fit between the settings. And a 'generic medievilish' adventure would certainly work for either of those settings, and possibly dark sun, also. You can draw an arbitary line to support your argument, but that doesn't mean anything. I can...
