    "Bait Monsters" and the "Trained Mindset"

    The above list is what I think should be in every first MM and should be mroe than sacred These are the monsters that are essentially Public Domain. The Frost Giant is just an example because they brought it up. If they said some monsters would be missing, and that they were from the standard...

    "Bait Monsters" and the "Trained Mindset"

    This is old and cold (I went to spain) so let me clarify: When I said everything in the SRD, I meant those fantasy standards that cover most myth and legend. The ones I know that don't belong are commented on cause I couldn't bear to leave them out. Monsters (A) Angel Animated Object...

    "Bait Monsters" and the "Trained Mindset"

    Now the speaker that spoke about the Frost Giants not being in MM1 may have just picked a monster name at random to illustrate a point. However I would state that there is a cadre of monsters that has existed since the inception of the game that should always be in the first book (Frost Giants...

    Will You Count "Roman Numeral" Books As Core?

    This is the best policy IMO.

    Will You Count "Roman Numeral" Books As Core?

    Then they will become "The Number Books." The idea I think is to make a clear distinction between the first three and anything subsequent. That way there is a designation that says "This is not required for play, no matter how much the publisher wants to imply it is." Which I think is fair to...

    Will You Count "Roman Numeral" Books As Core?

    The Roman numeral Books- PHB II, DMG II, MM III, etc... Will you consider them core books? Edit: I might want to make a new poll querying the potential sale landscape of the Roman Numeral Books.

    Return of the Cursed Magic Item?

    Some of the 3.5 cursed items are no fun. But some of the properties that are really just quirks to limit the magic of a weapon are kind of cool. I like the 3.5 idea that a magic item can come out not quite right or get weird over time as the magic gets older. The 3.5 cursed items also allow a...

    OK... that's just vulgar...

    I didn't see it initially, but now I can't look at the pic w/o getting grossed out. I think it is intentional, running along the whole HR Giger biomechanics tradition combined with the common mysogynistic idea that the female sex = evil. All in all I think it is a great expression of the...

    Dragon Issue 324 Seems to have a similar armor configuration and sword design on its death knight.

    D&D 4E 4E Player's Handbook just put on some weight!!!!

    What I don't think many game designers understand is that if you have a simple rule set + tons of options the complexity of the game increases with the options. So a rule set with 5 basic rules and 1000 options has 5000 relationships to keep track of. While this is a generalised example it...

    When is D&D not D&D?

    Despite what a gamer might want through personal definition, D&D is whatever the publisher of D&D makes it so long as someone holds the legal license to publish a product called D&D. Conversely, in the mind of the General Public D&D and table top RPGs are one and the same, no matter how the...

    Is the Warlock going to kill the sorcerer and take his stuff?

    Will the Warlock kill the sorcerer and take his stuff? If the Sorcerer does not make it into the 1st PHB, it will be most decidedly so In My Campaigns should I decide to pick up 4e. I don't dig the PHB1,2,3, concept THATS ON THE LAME LIST WOTC!!!! LAME!!!

    To WotC: How to Pick Up Girls

    I think it was stated at PAX in a panel that women like to play games but are not generally as a gender into fandom. Most women want to game. If the dudes are playing 4e then most of the gals will play 4e.

    Why do YOU want a new edition

    I would be interested in seeing a new edition for the following reasons: Magic Items, you should not be expected to have a certain number of magic items (I mitigate this in my games) Spells of 6th level and higher still break the game (I consider them somthing like artifacts in my game) Magic...

    Pre-Gen Con WotC Press Conference

    4e club Any mention of the meeting on Choose Death has disappeared except for the comments. Gaming Report has not said anything. EnWorld has not posted anything. And Morrus wanted to tell us before he went in. My theory: 4e just got "announced" That is: they told those who have a stake in...
