Beat me to it, my friend!

The text of the rules are not that easy to protect. My lawyer (@GSLLC) has a column on my site called Protection from Chaos (get it, law vs. chaos? haha). He's an IP attorney and a big D&D advocate. He also runs the DC area convention called synDCon. He's a bit of crusader against people who...

Hire the services of an IP attorney. Just my advice.

Quoted for emphasis.

I'm not seeing the slander, but we could have different definitions. I also write for both Paizo and WotC. I love each game for what it is. I also accept that I take heat from both fan-bases when I try to interject logic. Am I not free to question motives?

I won't touch that with a 10' pole.

I wonder how much of his comments had to do with the MMORPG he's trying to stand up.

Ryan Dancey is quoted as saying that tabletop RPGs will go the way of model trains. I would be interested to hear what people think about that.

4e gives me the framework to focus on other aspects of my game. As a designer, I need to focus more on giving readers the tools to do as I do. Expect great things in 2012, folks. As you might have already noticed, the paradigm shift has already begun!

Menzo will be a pleasant surprise to many.

Easiest contest ever. 4 hours to go.

You have until 11:59 EST to post a picture of you in the ugliest Christmas sweater you can get ahold of. Make sure to add something like "EN World Ugly Christmas Sweater" in the photo so we know you didn't grab it from the interwebs. We'll vote on the ugliest and I will send the winner a copy...

Guys, it was not my intent for this to to rile up the community. It is just one way of doing things and not necessarily the right way for everyone. It might spark some ideas in someone, who then takes the barebones idea I gave, and turns it into something that works for them. Adventure design...

I don't go by a power's name or fluff. I usually make my players describe their actions. They have learned to adjust accordingly and to not get hung up on a Power's title. Now, LFR? That doesn't count for 4e. LFR is a tactical combat simulation.

Merry Chrismas, Benjamin!

In relation to the OP. I don't force my players to do anything. I try to encourage them to roleplay a character based off of character traits they have given them. The crunch of the CSheet is already in effect with their rolls.

I'm not sure how that refutes my blog post in predesigned adventure creation. It offers an option; not a forced absolute. Some groups need to be lightly pulled through. They need purpose, direction, and motivation--key elements to all stories. Card 11 can have 1,000,000 options if you want to...

So, I think people are missing my intent, which I can totally accept. I wrote that blog post while the idea was fresh on my mind and I could have expanded more. It was never meant to be all-inclusive or a single fix to all problems. It was to promote another way of thinking out story design. The...

1995 wasn't the tail end of 2e. The quality of content was not up to the standard I had hoped for. It doesn't mean it was bad. TSR was in it's death-throws. I see that as neglect, as do some of the designers that worked for them during the transition. It wasn't meant to be an attack against...

Welcome to my fellow Virginian.
