I, also, would be quite interested in such things. Not for use in a game, but for a custom mobile ringtone. Just the thought of "Rawr! I'm a *monster*!" whenever I get a text from a member of my gaming group sends shivers... Maybe someone with more technical skill than I will get around to...

Actual Fear: That the social combat system won't go far enough in preventing players from using charisma as a dump stat, then using their real life high charisma to fast-talk their way out of everything. (The "Mike is good with swords in real life, but he doesn't get attack roll bonuses from...

First off, welcome back to the game. Now, some answers. 1) I would suggest waiting until May 20th to buy Keep on the Shadowfell (the 4e equivalent of Keep on the Borderlands). Give it a go. If you don't like the direction the game is going, check out some 3.5 stuff. Personally, I know a lot...

I thought that particular entry was rather straightforward; since it doesn't specifically mention Shield Bash or Spikes, it doesn't effect them. Exception based magic item design. And 3e won't get any more granularity, as it's a non-supported game (by its parent company, anyway). -TRRW

Until the end of the encounter: whenever an ally is within 5 squares of you, they get a +X power bonus to attack rolls. It's an aura, basically. Works like the old Marshal "Motivate Attack" thing. IF "Leading the Attack" has been used AND You are currently within 5 squares of the Warlord...

I love the previews so far. Glee! -TRRW

More burden removed from the Cleric; characters come back from the dead by fighting back against the currents of the River of Death or whatever. They went the way they went on this choice because it's more fun. If I've played a character from level 1 to 26 then you died to some random...

I've ordered 7 copies of the PHB and one copy of the D&D Gift Set from Amazon. I'm also buying a single copy from my FLGS at the Midnight Release Party on June 5th. I made a promise to my group in October 2006 that if D&D4e came out before GenCon 08, I'd buy them all a copy of the PHB. -TRRW

Just so you're aware; D&D for Dummies is written in 3.5speak. I know a friend of mine erroneously ordered it, thinking it was for 4th edition. If you are aware, I apologize for being annoying. Kudos to you, though, for supporting my employer. -TRRW

Save money until June 6th. I hear there's a pretty interesting new product coming out that day. -TRRW

My FLGS is planning a midnight release on 6/6, so I'll probably get the books, sleep for a few hours, get up and run a game that morning at the afore mentioned FLGS. Short answer: Waiting? What the crap is that? :P -TRRW

There's a thread about it on this very page; near the bottom, sure, but it's there. -TRRW

As I already have them preordered (actually, I have 7 copies of the PHB plus the Core Rules Gift Set preordered for the members of my gaming group), I would have no qualms about getting an early full preview. That being said, E.N. World has strict policies about file sharing discussions, so...

As a counter point, why is there an all female gym chain (Curves) and yet, if a man (or group of men) were to make a similar all male gym chain it'd be boycotted in a second by all manner of upset people who want to be included? Maybe *I* want an easy, 30 minute workout in a non-threatening...

Played as the Warlock and the Wizard. DMed a preview as well. I can tell you that while the Warlock and Wizard look similar on paper, they play pretty differently. The Warlock felt like the Sorcerer always should have, while the Wizard felt more like a Wizard and less like a snot-nosed...

I asked my girlfriend to browse through the afore mentioned forum in response to this thread. Some of her comments, take them as you will. "Wait... You mean there are gamer girls that care about things besides killing things and taking their stuff?" "Not *one* of these threads is about...

This is what I keep telling my players. Thank you for making me realize I'm not the only one that sees the beautiful simplicity. -TRRW

After looking at the DoD DDM page, it seems as though WotC doesn't have pics of a couple of the finished minis; unless the Wyvern, Hooked Horror, and Lizardman are all supposed to look like half-unpainted models. My crate will be arriving on Monday (stupid UPS not delivering on Sundays). -TRRW

Cam, you were never that dark complected. You were much paler than Rick Astley. I have the pictures. -TRRW

Oh, my goodness. They're trying to turn D&D into Pong with this new class! Hiding behind things and shooting little pellets at it. D&D is dead to me now. -TRRW
