The dragonborn info wasn't determined off that picture. That picture is way too low quality to determine anything other than "Dragon's Breath" from it. I blew it up and used all sorts of filters to try to clean it up and I couldn't get much. The dragonborn info was from something mailed to...

You know, I live in Naperville, but that's the closest good gaming store to here. I've been there a few times. I'd seriously consider being there if I had more notice. If you announce future demos earlier I'm pretty sure I'd take the time to come over to Mt. Prospect again.

I'm actually surprised that people didn't pick up on this earlier. When I was looking at the two pages of the wizard I was thinking "Hm, I wonder why the different colors..." and noticed they varied by encounter/daily. I guess it wasn't big enough news until Dave said something. Both Daves...

It seems to me, more like the problem is that you and/or your group has a hard time mentally visualizing without a visual aid. In my games the DM keeps track of how everything is playing out in his head. He explains how things are and if the players have any questions, they ask. For example...

It's actually pretty easy. It just requires a little getting used to. A few years ago, I joined a group in which every combat was done without minis. We used our imagination and it was just as easy as role-playing anything else. While I prefer minis when I run a game, I've noticed that I run...

That kind of requires the 'joke' to be funny for you to ruin it. Sexual segregation/stereotyping aside, there's still nothing funny about it... Unless you giggle like mad whenever there's the mention of breasts, in which case I can't say I share the same sense of "teheehee boobies" humor as you.

Yep. Gender segregation starts with language people. He could have just said "Soon we'll have bust slider. That way, you'll be able to depict the type of female character you want."

Also, you could shift as a move action and charge as a standard action :)

You can't know. You can prepare contingencies, but you can't know. If you know, then the communication is two ways already. The audience told you something about themselves. Thus invalidating your mention that it's not two way conversation. The speaker who does not adequately know their...

Actually communication is two ways. If the speaker never wishes to be understood, the speaker can say whatever one wants without needing to make any sense as long as it makes sense to oneself. Equally true, if the listener does not want to understand, and would rather remain ignorant to what...

linux perhaps? It takes me about twice as long to boot into linux than Windows XP. Then again, even then it only takes like 3 minutes to boot into linux while it takes like a minute to boot into windows... ok i guess that's three times as long. :P

Unlikely. I'd prefer though, that they actually spend that extra month(s) proofreading the books so we actually get something of reasonable quality.

I wonder how many people voted for 3.x and resisted their change to 3.x based on it being new. Not that I think all people did, but I'm curious to see what the ratio would be, if any, as that would also give inference to how many people are saying they will stay with 3.x, and then will actually...

I agree with others in this thread that exploit is a great word for martial powers, but no one's touched on this: Monsters can have the artillery role. What is the artillery role? Someone that fires off a lot and blows stuff up. There are multiple other roles that a monster can fall under...

From what we can tell so far, this isn't a property of "Ranged weapons" but rather a property of the power. I have yet to see any rules for a "basic melee attack" and "basic ranged attack." Basic attacks are the 4e equivalent of 3e standard action to attack... except we haven't been given any...

Rational. Although, watch out, you may still be called a grognard if you like the older edition and a fanboy if you end up liking the new stuff... and possibly at the same time. Don't you love stereotypes? :rolleyes:

Actually, that does a good job of illustrating the large variance in power dependent on how you build your character. I don't use system mastery to break the game, but rather to build the character concept I want - and I'm never dead weight. My golden rule of DMing was "Don't be a douche...

Easily overlooked? Tricky Target? It depends on what you're truly trying to do. I'd go through this process: Determine the function of the ability. What do you want to accomplish with it? What kind of flavor are you trying to integrate by adding this ability? Determine the mechanics...

[I'm going to play 3.x and 4E] As a player I'll play either. As a DM I don't want to play 3.x again... eww, eww, eww, keep it off, disgusting! 3.x requires system mastery to play as a player, and a great deal of work to DM. While I have system mastery to make characters and that's all fun...

Hehe, I plan on making gnome feats to go along with what's in the Monster Manual as well. Yes, gnomes are magical, but they aren't as magical as to brainwash everyone... Having a compulsion that preys of rumors in terms of a racial mechanic is bad game design in my opinion. What's a better...
