Except for the first syllable of a word, of course. :)

...and now I can't stop thinkin' the same way. Dang it, rounser. Dang it.

People have attacked your data and your arguments based on the data. Haven't seen any ad hominem attacks against you personally. -- At any rate, back to the original topic, are there any benchmarks that we can compare these numbers to? Growth of other systems vs. growth of D&D brand, etc...

Let's try to keep the ad hominem attacks to ourselves, eh? Your survey seems to be relatively valid, but you'd need to go into specifics before we can really extrapolate from it. Multiple countries? Doesn't mean anything. Random groups? Not random if you know them all, and conducted the...

Getting to Yes should be up there as well.

Haven't you heard? WotC's putting a stop to all that nonsense.

It's like they have one person over there who makes sound, reasoned decisions concerning their marketing and business strategy, and then do the opposite of what he/she says. Next up: White Wolf decides to copyright darkness.

That's why we houserule anything related to dragons out of our D&D games. C'mon now. Pretty much anything magical is utter nonsense to someone. ;)

It was the featured article that kicks off April's Dragon. So, yeah, I'd say that a lot of people will take it seriously. The more and more I read it, the more unhappy I am with it. I gotta stop being a masochist. At least Monday is only a weekend away. :)

Fair enough. Like I said, guess this article just wasn't for me.

You know, I had trouble reading this as nothing more than a gigantic advertisement for Arcane Power. Here's some feats, who give obvious benefits. Oh, and you should take all these powers from the Arcane Power book we're releasing. I'm willing to say I'm not the target audience for the...

Reported.

You should wait for the erratta.

And I can roleplay out Monopoly while playing it, but that still makes it a boardgame. The vast majority of D&D rules cover combat, or combat-related things.

Druid, maybe? An Avenger of some wrathful nature god... Or a Shaman, and refluff the spirit companion as the last enemy killed by your Oath, who's bonded to you until it fulfills some purpose only you know.

Classes are just tropes with names, though! They're an artificial limit on the imagination! ;) Although I will say that I do enjoy re-fluffing classes from the ground up. My 4th Ed Hexblade (Beastmaster Ranger whose beast acts as the Dark Companion) would certainly agree. I could get behind...

Covered. All this talk makes me wish that the next edition of D&D is, at the very least, classless. I doubt that will ever happen, though. :)

It knows what it did, and that's all that matters.

Or introduce some kind of luminescent algae to the water supply. An easy, low-level quest could be some sentient undead (ghouls/ghasts maybe?) who poison the algae to cloak the lower levels in darkness, making it easy to snatch people away.

As far as animals go, it'd probably be limited to vermin, pests, and small rodents, maybe some pets kept by the residents. Pests would be a major problem in this city. Small idea: One of the few druids that lives in the city is in charge of a sizable "corp" of semi-feral cats that help keep...
