Yes. Very embarassing. I would expect an announcement of this magnitude for the most well known pen and paper RPG ever would generate a lot of interest from internet and print media. It seems like Fark, /. and a million other websites would be all over this announcement...it's big, geeky...

I was getting optimistic up to the point that mentioned the Bo9S stuff. I also think a large variety of maneuvers will bog down a game where combat is already slow. I do like the idea that spellcasters won't be relegated to "duck and cover" or "pull out the light crossbow" once they run out of...

Yeah, my general mood on this is apathy with a touch of disappointment regarding the apparent lack of OGL. I'm not angry about 4E coming, but it'll have to be pretty impressive to get me on board. I haven't really liked much of the new rules stuff lately (Magic of Incarnum, Book of Nine...

Well, that one sounds like a feint in D&D 3.X. An unorthodox one, but still a feint.

I think that kind of "flashy" stuff is considered cool in many different communities. From James Bond movies to Indiana Jones to Diehard, people like to see heroes running, jumping, climbing, sliding, etc. The swashbuckler stuff probably just comes up with D&D since it fits better with the...

I don't think that's an entirely fair criticism of Will Smith. He's certainly been in quite a few "light" movies, but he's got more than enough ability to do a great job in "I Am Legend". I think he proved that with "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "Ali". I'm not saying the movie will actually...

I have the Reality Deviant Press "Rage Feats" PDF and it's really good stuff. Granted, the content is limited to, well, rage feats. It's a very good resource for anyone playing a barbarian. You have to pick a feat or two after you've got Power Attack, right? ;) I keep meaning to write a...

I haven't purchased M&M 2nd Ed. yet, but I found it to be a very flexible and generally cool system. Very slick. Iron Age sounds very cool and Paragons looks interesting. Honestly though I'm having trouble "getting" the Paragons setting. I've read a few design journals and still don't quite...

On the whole, the DCC line is very good. I bought a bunch of them in PDF and I'd say 90% I would rate as above average to excellent. I'll echo the statement that they are very easy to plug in to an existing campaign. I ran "Lost Vault of Zhathar Rho" (sp) in the Forgotten Realms with minimal...

I'd be shocked if that was the whole catalog as well. I think it's a given that there's going to be more Eberron and FR fiction and I hope there's another book or adventure yet to be announced. Maybe Scott Rouse could comment, or perhaps Ari can let us know if he has any work for WotC that...

OK, guys...I need the assistance of the collective EnWorld mind. Preferably using WotC base classes (feats from other sources are fine) is there a way to build a fighter who uses tactics, defense and mobility as opposed to the usual "two-handed power attack walking tin can" build. I know we...

Aye, but I bet me mother's wooden leg that I'll be right in sayin' that "Thieves and Liars" appears to be new material. I'll be hanged from the yardarm with a live lobster in me breaches if I remember hearin' of that adventure before.

I enjoyed these books quite a bit, although the third one was a bit of a disappointment for me. Still, overall I enjoyed the books and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who enjoys reading good fantasy. The opening scene of "The City of Towers" may be one of my favorite beginnings...

Not sure about Deus ex Machina, but the description on Green Ronin's site says that it includes Holiday in the Sun and something called "Thieves and Liars". That info is under the description for the PDF version, but I'm assuming the print version also includes it. There's also another free...

It's not a huge influence for me, but I definitely have a few favorites as far as authors go. I'll give Monte Cook, Bruce Cordell, Keith Baker and Wolfgang Baur (just to name a few) stuff a closer look just because I've enjoyed their work in the past. My main influences for buying are content...

You know, I would have thought that Piratecat's instructions in big red text just a few posts up would have been enough... for ignoring them and discussing spiked chains you are banned for 1 day - Plane Sailing

As a side note, one of the Eberron novels has a protagonist who carries around his religion's favored weapon and practices with it, but he's still complete crap when it comes to actually hitting anything (Blade of the Flame books by Tim Waggoner). I think that makes for some fun roleplaying...

Yeah, I was really shocked to see how much stuff they had on sale besides giving an entire extra week to get the freebies. I'm probably going to pick up the free stuff and get the Anniversary edition of Freeport.

Actually, it's Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend". The Omega Man was a loose adaptation of that story. I hope they keep the "I Am Legend" name for the Will Smith version.

I tried a few times to get the Bleeding Edge adventure and True 20, but with no luck. It's still cool that Green Ronin had so much cool stuff for free.
