What, so drow don't count as elves? You, sir, are a fantasy racist.

Drow count, right? My brave Underdark ranger Dover Teleron was chopped right the hell up by a blade barrier cast from ambush by a drow priestess and her retinue. Sigh - I shouldn't have provoked House Everhate, I guess. My DM (Fathead) did not pull punches!

Except for the email coupon they send out every week or so that's good for 20% - 30% off any one item of your choice? With the occasional 40% coupon?

Oh, man - if I were a Jedi, I'd want to kill all the time. Cut in front of me in line for coffeee? Force choke! Talking to loudly next to my desk at work? Jedi colon rip!

Pretty much my advice. You're in your OWN house - why the hell are you letting your mother chase you out of your kitchen? Just ignore her and get your damn coffee is she's going to act like a child.

Yes. I don't want to share a hobby with self-important crybabies who get all huffy and offended by the most gentle of jibes - they're the kind of gamers that give us a bad name. Anything that drives that sort off is fine by me.

Duh. If you're a woman, of course you were hit on at Gencon. Probably awkwardly, with clammy ham-paws finding an excuse to touch your leg or back.

Dear god. I don't know why I bother, but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ3J8t2-RVs&feature=related This is the announcement of 4e at Gencon '07. At one point, they're discussing the 4 parts of 4th edition. That's the phrase used on their presentation. Not "Stuff that's separate from 4th...

That character sounds like a modern-day counterpart of the paladin in my 1e game, Sir Johnson Long!

Nonsense. It's a feature of D&D, and has been touted as such all along since this edition was announced. It's not an "entirely separate product", and you know it.

Yes, they have - the 4e books. Judging from what a lot of people were saying online (and no, I'm not going to go back to dig up specific examples), one of the big draws for 4e was being able to play it online, either with friends who couldn't be there in person or just forming new groups. A lot...

No, that's not the post I meant. I'm not sure why you would think it was since, as you pointed out, it doesn't say any of the things I mentioned. I went back and hunted it down - the post was actually by Ken Troop, not Bill Slaviscek: http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=16056224&postcount=2...

Yes, yes, Mourn, you're right - it wasn't TOTAL silence on WotC's part. Of course, I didn't actually say that, either - my wording was "pretty mum". I think the "pretty" part implies that it's not absolute, wouldn't you agree? And they did not make much of an effort to get the word out that DDI...

yeah. they only had d4 hp though, so they had to hide behind the fighting mang.

It may not have been an actual promise, but I think it was damn close to outright deception that they kept pretty mum on DDI being unavailable at the launch of 4e. They KNEW people were reasonably assuming it would launch at the same time, and they were talking about how awesome it was going to...

I've composed a haiku for you, Evilhalfling! Ahem: All foods need bacon A turkey sandwich is food You do the math, chump.

Snag a copy of the 1e module Dwellers of the Forbidden City.

I smell a new advice column... Dear Emirikol the Chaotic, Help! My daughter is being bullied, and I'm not sure what to do about it. As a stay at home mom, I often take my 4-year-old daughter "Tonya" to the park when the weather is pleasant. I've recently struck up a friendship with another...
