    Amazon shipped my books

    My PHBs (all 6 of them) will be here tomorrow. I ordered September 13th. My Core Rules Gift Set still hasn't shipped, still says "Items Waiting to be Shipped". Ordered on the day it became available. -TRRW

    Ok, just tell me Why

    Ok, just tell me Why

    If you were the divine agent of entropy and destruction, but couldn't fly around; wouldn't you find a way to make it so things around you that *could* fly would be less able to do so? Evolution. You argue for incongruous monsters and stats and whatnot, but then berate the Tarrasque for the...

    Build me a Halberd+Puffysleeves Gentleman.

    Rules were released for that particular build here . Failing that, I'd say Fighter. Lots of Fighter. Those are just their out-of-combat outfits. As such, they'd be wearing Plate during the fighting. -TRRW

    Dual pike wielding minotaurs

    It's not that they can use two-handed weapons as though they were one-handed, it's that they can use Large sized one-handed weapons as though they were Medium sized one-handed weapons. It's functionally identical, as I believe the damage scales (ie. a Large Longsword does Medium Greatsword...

    I love Star Wars Saga- will I like 4e?

    Yes. As a Saga Edition player since Day One of that game, I can honestly say that everything that was awesome about SWSE is still awesome about 4e. Most things that weren't so awesome in SWSE are awesome in 4e. No droids though. Sorry. -TRRW

    Keeper of Shadowfell?

    D&D 4E The Quest to use the Half-Elf's Dilettante (4e spoilers)

    I like Bolstering Strike for that build, honestly. A few extra hit points and a melee attack that uses Charisma? Yes, please. So Con and Cha; what's your higher stat out of Dex or Int going to be? That should help to determine what powers to check out. -TRRW

    Emphasis mine. The Anybody is quantified by the following majority of the sentence. The implied emphasis isn't on the Anybody, it's on the rest of the words. As a related statement; Anybody who uses string theory to disprove waffles is a homeopathic misanthrope. Are you going to get...

    Attacks with Area Burst 1?

    It's an area power, as such it affects certain creatures differently than a regular Ranged attack. Swarms, for instance, take 5 extra damage from Area and Close attacks. -TRRW

    It's not that it's not considered a campaign setting by WotC. They leave out the word Including and everyone gets into a tizzy. If they'd have left out my favorite campaign setting from that list, I wouldn't have batted an eyelash. It's not a complete history, it's just touching on most of...

    4E Art Direction--Yay or Nay

    Wayne England did the art for the weapons. Also know as "that guy who drew the hexblade in Complete Warrior, which looked terrible" and "that guy who drew that dragon in a book and it looked terrible". Wayne England is up there with Dennis Crabapple McClain and Erol Otus as far as...

    Keeper of Shadowfell?

    "Special Thanks to Brandon Daggerhart, keeper of Shadowfell" This blurb is in both the three core books and Keep on the Shadowfell. Who is this person (beyond being the supposed keeper of Shadowfell) and why does he deserve to be mentioned in all four books with a Special Thanks? Inquiring...

    Greyhawk is as much a setting as the Points of Light concept is; that is to say, not much of one. It was the default world for D&D and AD&D 1st Edition. FR and DL were the first campaign settings to not be the assumed core setting of AD&D. I don't see the Spelljammer or Mystara or Birthright...

    Penny Arcade do 4th ed - Podcast

    Quite a lot of the "game session podcasts" I've listened to are painful and annoying. I just wish they could get Gamer Radio Zero to sound this casual and fun. -TRRW

    Gnome lovers get some love.. well kind of.

    Will you have these for sale at GenCon Indy? Or (*baited breath*) as swag? -TRRW

    Enough with the Healing Surges Already!

    There aren't any rules in the PHB for Evil gods, as such there aren't any Channel Divinity feats for them listed in the PHB. You'll have to get with your DM to work out a compromise for what kind of granted power Tiamat might have. I'd suggest something like... Armor of Tiamat Encounter ✦...

    How many people outside the RPG hobby know about Greyhawk through novel lines? Same question, with FR or DL in the place of Greyhawk? I'm confident that several orders of magnitude more people have read an FR or DL novel than a Greyhawk novel. As such, they speak to those people. Longtime...

    Beaten here, but people are actually responding to your post. I like it. That's pretty much exactly how the game plays with new players, and it's pretty much exactly what the guys in my gaming group act like as well. So kudos to PA/WotC for getting the feel and sounds of D&D4e so close to...
