    D&D 4E What's so bad about 4th edition? What's so good about other systems?

    This quote is where my disconnect from your message is. It doesn't mean you are wrong at all and I want to learn more about it. I've never experienced this in my campaigns. Are you experiencing this through organized public play games (like LFR)? Transitioning is a part of the game. The degree...

    D&D 4E What's so bad about 4th edition? What's so good about other systems?

    What's wrong with combat systems that use miniatures?

    GenCon 2011? What do you think?

    Also of note, I'll be sitting on a 4e Monster Design panel with Greg Bilsland and Jeremy Crawford. We'll be in the Indiana Ballroom G on Thursday of the convention, from 2:00-4:00pm.

    Neverwinter CG contains four new Warpriest (diety-based) domains

    I like it. Sounds like more Realmslore that is specific to the setting.

    GenCon 2011? What do you think?

    I'll be using Twitter and Google+. I usually attach photos or video to whatever I send. Twitter: (@)matt_James_RPG Google+: Uh. Not sure how to link my profile.

    Battlemind, Seeker, and Runepriest

    Runepriests can be amazingly effective--especially at heroic tier. The only thing I dislike is that when I play one, I have to pay attention to every single players actions. I'm too ADHD for that :)

    So... Do Summoned Creatures Suck?

    I have a hybrid character that summons creatures and then "buffs" them with temporary hit points (Wizard|Paladin, though a Wizard|Cleric would work too).

    New Content or Better Content?

    This made me think of a funny way of rewrapping the original poster's message. I live and work in the DC area and see politicians do it all the time. I have true vision against it. All you have to do is frame it. In newspaper copy many editorial pieces will spend several paragraphs bashing...

    Monster Vault: Mages of Saruun

    It certainly is not for anyone to say how one is to enjoy a game. I hope you find a sweet game that you can enjoy and that you find it easy to adapt to your gaming group's needs. On my end, I run a heavily modified campaign, where I try out new ways to keep excitement up. This hasn't changed...

    Monster Vault: Mages of Saruun

    So. Who's running around the Nentir Vale now that MV2 has been out for several weeks now? :)

    D&D 4E If 4e went in this direction...

    Sorry for the delay in response. I'm very busy with some big design projects. I'll try to get a new, more detailed, theme up soon. I am very pleased to see this design-space being expanded upon. There are many great new articles and pieces coming out that present new themes.

    Review of Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale by WotC

    Thanks for the review, Neuroglyph! I'm happy to see this book is so well received!

    What is with these crappy Video Games?

    The D&D-branded video games have always been licensed out since the beginning (SSI). None of them have been developed in house at TSR or WotC.

    sorta newb DM question - are the adventure supplement books worth buying?

    If you have a DDI subscription, my adventure from Dungeon #170 (Monument of the Ancients) is not a hack'n'slash delve.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Copyright Issues at Obsidian Portal?

    I'm not sure he was speaking about you. The pages of debate here (and other places) is likely where he found the DSCS ;)

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Copyright Issues at Obsidian Portal?

    Rob Bodine just put up an article under his column on the topic. He is an avid and active member of the D&D/Pathfinder community and is an IP attorney as well. Loremaster - Protection from Chaos Part VII: Thumbnail Images

    Marius, are you an attorney? Your prose is a lot like one! Great points all around.

    D&D 4E What's so bad about 4th edition? What's so good about other systems?

    Two quick points. (1) I agree with you about the OGL. To a point. We are also experienced a flooding of completely horrible products. Normally, the market would sort this out, and to a point it did, however there were so many D20 products out there that it was very overwhelming. I still look...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Copyright Issues at Obsidian Portal?

    Oddly enough, C&D orders are a very kind/nice way of getting people off of your IP. Nothing in the law requires a C&D to be issued and it is solely at the discretion of the IP holder. I tried explaining this back when WotC issued them to several sites, but many put on the ear muffs and I was...
