Best plot hook ever. PC 1: What made you decide to become an adventurer? PC 2: Oh, my mom made me. When I was a kid she really obsessed about getting me into rogue lessons. Then she got me fixed up with an adventuring group when I was 15. What could I do? I was only 15, and she's my mom...

I do enough work. The more block-stacking tasks I can delegate to my players, the better.

I feel I should point out that Tenser's Floating Disc is quite possibly one of the most descriptive spell names ever. Bigby: Hey, Tenser. What's that new Floating Disc spell of yours do? Tenser: It makes a floating disc. Bigby: And...? Tenser: You can put things on the disc. Bigby: ...and...

The rules don't say anything about minis. They say that a Huge creature takes up a 15 foot wide space.

Their version of search seems to be based on the odds of someone randomly locating any given blog. The easiest way of locating one is therefore to come here.

So, you're saying that the 3rd party stuff is more correct than the actual official miniatures produced by WotC? Especially when WotC's technique solves the diagonal squeezing problem you brought up? I think you might be looking for trouble where there is none.

Put it on a circular base? That's what they did with my Giants of Legend minis. They control a 3x3 grid, but they certainly don't fill it. Horizontally and vertically, they fill the space. Diagonally, they cover two squares, leaving a half square on each corner. So my circular-based GoL...

Yeah, aren't halflings supposed to be the catch-all for trade and communication?

Dragon's Tail Cut was lame. Emerald Frost and Golden Wyvern were unnecessary (and lame). Tornado Strike? Well, it's a strike, and it hits you like a tornado. It doesn't imply membership in some kind of special Tornado organization. It doesn't sound awful, or like a wuxia technique. Tentative...

Being familiar with the unity and community structure of rural villages, I actually feel very strongly that the allegiances of the villagers are going to lie primarily with their community, and those who are in it for themselves will probably be quickly noticed and either corrected or...

Only if they fixed flying.

I'd write it like this: Heroic: Some Thing was bound down there long ago, with a small city's worth of temple around it because it took that much effort to keep this Thing contained. Now, the Thing is off somewhere recovering its strength, but it'll be out of commission for a while. In the...

ainatan has been pointing out problems with the system that could come up by accident. Of course, it doesn't sound like you've played with many RPGA players. IME, those are the ones who "game" the system to the point of breaking, and they're going to be all over any new exploits this opens up...

Isn't this standard operating procedure? Practically every one of my 3.5 books has some kind of bizarro exotic weapons in the back.

Mostly sums it up for me. Although I might elaborate on #5: I'm looking forward to simple and quick monster and NPC design. Perhaps even "on-the-fly" design, once I get my head around the rules.

I guess that makes me one of the world's best chess players.

WotC: We want to change the grid system in ways that make no geometric sense. ByronD: No. I don't like those changes. Nom: Well, if you're not with us, you're against us! Why don't you just throw away your grid, you grid-hater! I don't suppose that this sort of extremism is called for. The...

That's pretty much the Oberoni fallacy right there: "This rule isn't broken because it can easily be fixed by doing X." But if it needs fixing, isn't it broken?

Go to your local craft superstore (around here it's a chain called Michael's) and buy either a black blotter sheet or a sheet of black felt. Either are cheap and easy to find.

Hey there. Nice girdle.
