    Why the renaming of classes?

    Renaming Clerics to Templars is stupid, considering Templar holds a particular mindshare in Dark Sun. I know Templar is a much broader category of people who work for the Sorceror Kings in 4E, but now people will be saying they are a Templar Templar.

    5/17 DDI Update info

    That sucks. We were starting a new game the first weekend in June and I was hoping the new stat selections from Dragon 397 would make it in tomorrow.

    How do you assemble your party in your Game?

    I've seen this story from you before. Very crappy situation. I've been putting together a game, altho a friend offered to run it instead b/c he prefers to DM and I was just going to DM so my wife would get a chance to game too, and I told people it was going to be Revenge of the Giants. Make...

    Need party opinions

    Yeah it was a few, I'm pretty open personally and things weren't quite nailed down yet heh. Rachel seems reasonably set on Shaman (I think) so probably no Cleric. I do have that Dragon, I'll poke around at the article. That would be fun. Actually in talking w/the other experienced player...

    Need party opinions

    I don't mind the combat lengths and I have some ideas for working on that anyway. I do see it commonly tho, I have to agree w/ya on that *nod* I've just been used to a group w/a cleric, a pally and a wizard MCed into Shaman for extra heals, so one healer w/no backup is just very different...

    Need party opinions

    The DM PC is neither here nor there. I could have just said my name and said I would have 6 players. The mod also came out prior to MM3 I believe, so I'll be converting the monster damage to current levels. I'm not positive how the encounters will stack up after that. I'm planning on having...

    Need party opinions

    Ok so I decided I'm going to run Revenge of the Giants for my wife and some of our friends and a group is in the works. I plan on running a DM PC as well, and this is what I know about our group's plans so far: All level 12. Rebecca - Tiefling Infernal Warlock Ricky - Vryloka Fury Blackguard...

    Party suggestion - 5th Character

    Put me in the camp of doubling up on Strikers. My Dark Sun group has 6 characters (our DM runs a PC as well) and we have one each of Leaders and Controllers (yay I love my Wizard!) and double up on Strikers and Defenders. Our Warden is the master of gathering huge groups and holding them...

    Player Control, OR "How the game has changed over the years, and why I don't like it"

    Sounds like your players had a real duh moment heh The joy of winning the initiative roll huh? Well when they are allowed to select powers that say just those things, of course they feel they have the right to say so. My DM usually has a good laugh when his carefully planned combat gets...

    Song Titles as Place Names

    I have about 300GB of music on my computer and 1200 cds. I could do this all day, but I'll stop w/the big list I already put together heh. The Plateaux of Mirror - Brian Eno Above Chiangmai - Brian Eno Among Fields of Crystal - Brian Eno Lizard Point - Brian Eno Lantern Marsh - Brian Eno...

    D&D 4E Three Moves to Fix/Change 4E

    1) Bake in all math fixes, inherent bonuses and use correct monster math from the get-go. 2) Make 80% of all powers power source dependent and have the class specific ones be one of 3 options at certain levels. This will reduce the number of powers drastically as you don't need to have so many...

    Halflings or Hobbits?

    The water thing is them stealing influence from Tolkien again. The Stoors (the branch of hobbits Gollum came from) lived on riverbanks and were much more comfortable in the water than the Harfoots, which would resemble Bilbo and company.

    Changes coming to WotC Community Team

    I wanna say I may have gone to Des Moines to Mayhem to play in a Magic tourney back in the Urza's block days heh. Entirely probably that Mayhem has a couple of stores that way now. It's been 4 years since I left.
