It was said a while back that Half-Elves "multiclass well". Maybe they have a racial ability that mimics/copies the X Training feat, chosen at character creation. -TRRW

Gleemax speaks in all caps, not in mostly-caps. Also, he is friends with many English Diplomats. These are the things I learned from our conversations at the Wizards booth at GenCon Indy 2007. -TRRW

For the record, we finished RotRL just yesterday. Our party composition (core rules and RotRL materials only, mind you) was: Human (Shoanti) Ranger 2/Barbarian 1/Fighter 1/Rogue 1/Horizon Walker 10 Half-Orc Druid 14/Barbarian 1 Elf Bard 12/Wizard 3 Halfling Rogue 3/Fighter 4/Duelist 8 Our...

Those were six hour sessions, once per week. It's not that we focus on combat per-se, but more that we cut to the heart of the roleplaying matter at hand. No bartering with the shopkeeper for every single item, etc. It's a really pulp-ish group; cut to the interesting parts, leave the...

Games I thought I'd like, but hated: Burning Wheel: After reading the reviews, this game seemed too good to be true. Turns out, it was just too mediocre to be true. Exalted: Love the setting, love all the fluffy parts, hate the crunchy bits. This is the reason that 4e D&D seems to have...

Interesting statistics. I still can't wrap my head around it taking 25 sessions to get to level 4, though. Six sessions per level seems a bit... lots of sessions-y. Maybe my group just blitzes through things faster than yours, I'm not sure. For reference, we just finished up Pathfinder...

You were not, in fact, the only one. Those were my girlfriend's exact words. "Wait, where are chapters 1 through 10?" -TRRW

Having worn a pair in Monsoon season in Australia, I can tell you that it's rather difficult. Not impossible, mind you, and they do dry out quickly, but still rather not easy. -TRRW

Void basically works like this: Spend a Void Point to add +2 on your next Attack Roll, Skill Check, or Saving Throw. You may also spend one per round (as a free action) to add +2 to your AC until the start of your next turn. You may not spend more than one Void Point on any one Attack Roll or...

QFT. My collection totals up to somewhere around $3500, with third party stuff factored in. And most of those books were purchased during the years that I was making about $7 an hour, 25 hours a week, paying $300 a month for rent. Just gotta know what your priorities are. :p The choice...

I think the real humor in this situation is that Warcraft is a direct ripoff of Warhammer. Now, with Warcraft minis coming out (and pre-painted none the less), it's like they're rereleasing Warhammer under their own name; with a bigger fanbase. -TRRW

Cam, you and I both know that only ever came up *once*, and it was silly. Making baskets out of the sinew of fallen Dragon Overlords to appease Kiri-Jolith? It's just poorly thought out. -TRRW

I was 8; which would've been 1991. Third generation gamer checking in. -TRRW

Welcome to the gamer sigother club, brother. You are welcome here amongst friends. -TRRW

*shudder* I judge you not for your like of his style. To me his style always seemed elitist and excessively wordy. I like the informal tone taken in the preview books so far, as well as some of the later 3.5 books. -TRRW

These video things aren't meant for us. They're meant for people who don't hang out on internet message boards discussing the latest news on the game. Their audience for these are people who might check the D&D sight once a month just to see what's up. The uninformed masses, if you will...

As much as I dislike the works of Tolkien, his books are where this conceit about having to be more powerful to use Rings of Power (as I'm inferring from the description of what Rings are meant to represent in 4th Edition) comes from. As also noted in the Magic Items article, the One Ring...

September 19th. So, no. Not near the 4e release. -TRRW

This person speaks the truth. It had nothing to do with the shoddy microphone. For the record, all I heard was "Crikey! That's a right beaut turtle! Oy! I'm gonna poke 'im with a stick! That oughta piss him off! Blimey! Me arm!" -TRRW

jaestudio.com has some good stuff in its CCG and Books sections. http://www.komarckart.com/ has lots of good stuff as well. www.drewbaker.com has a lot of great content, too. Basically, search for L5R Art and you'll find a plethora of pics from the CCG that the RPG is based upon. -TRRW
