    WotC new Marketing VP

    Actually coming from the MMORG side of the house might be beneificial for us as customers. Think about it, some of our current biggiest complaints with WotC center around something electronic. Most of the Edition Warring has ended for the most part. All that is left is primarily the electronic...

    Star Wars Halloween Special

    Depending on the timeline factor of your campaign. A world so touched by the darkside, force users are nearly supressed by it just by using their force powers. Make them afraid to open up to the force. Perhaps an ancient massacare happened in the place, some ritual death's, etc. Ghostly spirits...

    It's Almost the Season for WOTC layoff!

    Talking about the business policy basing it off past history - not tasteless. Laying odds on specific employees - tasteless. That pretty much sums it up. Really though, it's speculation that has merit. Past history has shown us that WotC does this quite regularly in their business plan. I...

    The Problem I Find Myself In (Long, Sorry)

    Play the one you want. Life's too short to worry about it. :) I kind of run into the same thing in my group. But I'm the 3.xE holdout. Don't really have a desire to play 4E. Luckily my group understands that. But they also have several other game groups, whereas I only play in the one...

    I'm pissed off with Wizards of the Coast

    Just means 5E is around the corner. <insert evil laughter here> Just kidding. Maybe they have a major setting release coming up and this schedule actually give them time to get it all together. But you are right on one hand. It does give you an excellent opportunity to try out another...

    Pathfinder 1E If Paizo can, why can't Wizards of the Coast?

    I think WotC would have Ogre Guards and Paizo Kobold troops. ;) That and I have to spread before giving you more exps. ------------------------------- Now back to the OP. It's easy to explain. Paizo - as was mentioned is bringing their world from 3.5 to Pathfinder. More of a tweaking than a...

    Metaplots - it wasn't just TSR that did them

    Was just going to mention Star Wars as a metaplot. But again, much like Dragonlance, the books and the movies came first. You know what you are getting into with it. The thing on Metaplots of 2E D&D is that they were world changing events that occurred as a result of the novels after the...

    Older Editions and "Balance" when compared to 3.5

    We didn't need no stinking balance. So what kobolds were found in groups of 10-100. You fought, ran, or were invited to dinner as the main course. ;) Actually never noticed a real balance issue as we played either, course we weren't looking for balance just fun. That and outside a few rare...

    Neutral XP?

    I guess the question now would be does it go up later as they post more?

    Which D&D Campaign World did you enjoy most?

    Started in the Known World with the Red Box. Moved on to Greyhawk with 1E. During 2E ran the gambit, of settings, but fell to Spelljammer, than Forgotten Realms, than Greyhawk. During 3E, Forgotten Realms had the setting for me, at least until I started with OGL items. Than was introduced to...

    Why Do You Like the Forgotten Realms?

    When it first came out, I loved the detail. I was a teenager at the time. As I've grown older I've loved the various factions within it that a DM could use or a Player could aspire to be part of. Loved the 2E Realms, the Faiths & Avatar book was great. I loved the Speciality Priest. Screw...

    What could a publisher sell you RIGHT NOW/

    Lets see things they (any company) could sell that would get me to part with cash........ 1. DDI version for 3.5 (and older as a wish) that allows for import of house rules. Weather this is inputed via XML or an actual wizard, if it's XML allow 3rd parties to create their own wizards for it...

    Do you ever cut and run?

    Yup I've run, and I've stayed and been slaughtered. Just last Friday in a Star Wars game, we ran like a beaten dog. 2 Capital Ships + 6 frigate sized ships = our freighter runs. We did manage to take out 2 of the 6 on our escape. Though the best run away was playing a heavily armored fighter...

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    Thinking about it some. Yes DDM would have been the better comparission in my first post than MtG. But another aspect on the cards I could like IF they came in the follow: 1. Random Treasure Pack 2. Random Character Pack 3. Random Encounter Pack 4. Random Adventure Pack This could be tied in...

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    Ok my first reaction when hearing this is: MtG Sorry but that is initial reaction when hearing this. I think it's a wrong step to go, at least in my games it would be for me. Sure I might glean ideas from it for a random encounter, but to allow for it to have game changing aspects. Nay it...

    The most character-less character you've ever played?

    I think everyone has had a 'Bob the xxxx'. It mainly occurs in low level one shots that end up taking on a longer life than meant too. Next thing you know your 'Bob the xxxx' Level 12 and not doing much else.

    Going back in time to play your novice days again

    While my tastes have 'refined' themselves as my hair has turned grayer, I think I could throughly enjoy reliving my youth. Think about it, when was the last time you were hyped up on caffiene playing without a care in the world other than keeping it down so your parents didn't yell 'go to...

    Books With "Tear-Out" Maps

    That's the legal way of doing it. ;) I like getting soft copies of the maps and blowing them up to scale I like and printing them off. Makes it easier to make notes on them, as well if you blow them up enough it can be to scale of a mini's map. Done that with a few module maps, makes for...

    When someone on your ignore list misrepresents you

    Why not just leave it as is? I would wager to guess situations like Bullgrit's are far and few inbetween.
