Oh man, that would be awesome! A "You've Been Served" move based on the Knight's Challenge ability. A synergy bonus of some kind if you can get your whole part in sync (N'Sync?) wouild be appropriate too.

We have information on the 8 classes that will be in the first PHB? I totally missed that!

I honestly don't think D&D can get more "gamist" than it already is, which is fine with me. That's all I have to say about that. Nothing can drain the fun out of a game quicker than a GNS discussion. I still think the original post from Scott Rouse refers to movement and not a condition...

I don't think having "talking points" is skeevy either, but it has been a little heavy handed so far. It doesn't make me angry, it just seems a little silly sometimes. Maybe we were all spoiled by the closer relationship between the designers and WotC in general and EnWorld. Back in the day...

I forgot about that! Possibly the best name for a "fumble" I've ever heard. Of course, it works well in the genre of Tim Powers + Quentin Tarantino Modern Day Occult RPG's. Probably not so well with a fantasy RPG. I still think there should be a power called "Give 'em the Business". I think...

Well, we don't know that people on message boards were the only ones with strong feelings about Sizzling Dragon Flank Steak, or whatever it was called. For all we know a dozen WotC employees, Rick Baker's mother in law and his dog could have all told him the name was goofy. We really don't...

That would definitely be a major faux pas, especially in public.

I don't really like the name "warlord" but I could at least say it at the gaming table with a straight face. I can even deal with Emerald Frost. It just makes me thirsty when I think of it. Rich Baker originally thought it may have been a dorky name. I think a good rule of thumb is "if you...

I didn't even know WoW had warlocks. I'm just glad the D&D warlock seems like he ate the lame Hexblade, spat out the bad parts and is much more interesting than the current "I use my eldritch blast...again" warlock of 3.5 Ed.

I've been considering a suit against Kelly Clarkson and Real Housewives of Orange County for suicidal middle-ages guys. :D I agree that if the class focuses on the darker aspects of the warlock, it's a little too focused for a PHB I. Still, we don't really know that this is the case. I...

Exactly. We are talking about art. People tend to like different things. Weird, eh? Personally, I prefer the "if it looks cool, go with it" approach and I was actually a history major in college. I don't think the "crazy, zany fantasy aesthetic" is appropriate for every setting for D&D...

I'm hoping this is the case. I'd love to see smaller scale novels, just like in Eberron. I'd imagine most authors would like this too. Less Realms baggage to deal with a probably a lighter editorial hand when you're dealing with smaller scale stories. Of course, I don't expect the Drizzt...

That's Michael Komarck. That's a good choice. He's done some really awesome stuff. I really like his art from A Song of Ice & Fire.

Or your 4E Player's Handbook will get the RRoD after using it for a few weeks. :D

You do know what's going to happen to this thread, right? Look at the top of the page. There's a stickied thread about "no more satire/misinformation threads". For what it's worth, there's a more direct correlation in your last example. There was a bit in Halo 2 where the Arbiter used an...

The intro may have matched with the actual setting a long, long time ago but I don't think it does any more. Until recent events, the bad guys were pretty inept. Cormyr was strong, the Silver Marches strong, the Dales relatively peaceful. On the other hand, Zhentil Keep is a mess with...

I like both the Realms and Eberron (is that allowed?) and I'm a bit disappointed that the timeline isn't advancing. Still, it sounds like we'll still get all the interesting stuff that James Wyatt was talking about, in one form or another (sidebars???). Even though there are large parts of the...

It burns, but your Energy Resistance: Fire doesn't seem to be helping. :D

To expand on that a bit, I'd say that in Steven Brust's "Dragaera" world, sorcery as known by Dragaerans would be tapping in to a central power source (the Imperial Orb) to use magic, with no ritual component. Eastern Witchcraft in the same setting is highly ritualistic and doesn't seem to rely...

I know the canon-osity of the Chosen for other dieties has been questioned, but I can easily see a high level PC being a Chosen...just not of Mystra. No open positions. Yet.
