That's right. I'm the guy with the tattoo on his neck.

Spell preparation.

Actually, if you read the 2e teasers in Dragon from that period, it's pretty obvious it's a 2e invention. One of the first goals given for the ranger redesign was to encourage light armor.

Rogue/Monk, once a week, plus conventions and pickups. Right now I'm torn between adding Duelist levels or the lightly armed Arcana Evolved guy (whose names escapes me right this second). One thing I like about ENWorld is that it tends to attract RPG players instead of people who read them...

Elements of all of them have merit. I will make a few comments that come from my reading but are not directed at specific people as much as trends in each. * The word "said," is a fine, fine word. People really don't notice when you use it repeatedly. It's transparent. So there's no need for...

I'd buy this, especially in a slim perfect bound form with an attached cardstock table/screen. Didn't the Pacesetter games have a similar kind of system?

Mob United Media (i.e. me) has been swamped with work outside the traditional RPG field, slowing down the release schedule. That's good news for both of us. I'm busy and you get a special offer! The Universal Special includes: Steel and Stealth: A Universal Class Collection * In itself, a...

This is actually an excellent idea. Have a rule where only one character (or maybe 1 PC or 1 NPC) per campaign may have the feat at any given time. I've actually toyed with doing a prestige class/feat supplement that featured this concept. For example, Arthur and Aragorn belong to the True...

That's not really how Ars' troupe play works, though. In ArsM, you have three character types: Magi, Companions and Grogs. Everybody has a Companion and Magus and there are a pool of grogs, and they all live in the same Covenant (wizards' settlement). An adventure will be 1-2 magi, some...

I don't know what "establishment critics" are offending y'all. If anything, critical discourse has shifted to the other extreme, where the popularity of a novel has often become the sole criterion for examining media and a lot of good. lesser-known works are getting the shaft. Anyway, if you...

This indicates you're engaging this discussion in bad faith, so it's over.

In that case, what do you think was shouldering the 8% decline in games revenue reported in 2005? The report mentions Magic and Duel Masters declining, but if specific brand reportage isn't a big deal . . . I remember that. I'm talking about this year, which is relevant since XP did lump...

As its IP has been spun off into higher-risk products like DDO and D&D Miniatures with Eberron creatures, it's a good sign it's doing well.

You need Santo. And the RZA.

Here's how I railroad things. I tell my players something like, "You guys are kind of spinning your wheels here. How about we go here instead?" If the story isn't moving them, then I don't mind taking it out of the game to see how we can get some forward motion back into the narrative.

Watching the fans who drove Mage: The Ascension into the ground by complaining and indulging in pedantry but never playing writhing on a metaphorical hook every time it's mentioned warms the coal in my cold, black heart.

Actually, I haven't made any definitive statements about how D&D is doing at all. And there's no innuendo; Hasbro's last annual report for FY 2005 gives D&D little to no mention, and the 4thQ release doesn't mention D&D. As I said earlier, this may have to do with the presentation style and...

Damn; that's pretty much the only map you need for about a solid year of gaming.

What innuendo? You obviously think I have some kind of agenda. Like you, I tire of innuendo easily and thus, I am tired of yours. Out with it then. Tell me what you think my hidden agenda/point/innuendo/motive is, here. Here. I'll even help you by *telling* you: In my view, people should...
