It's a total fallacy to think that this is what any prior edition of D&D did. The original 1 ED Manual of the Planes gave you what you wanted with areas of each elemental plane that had pockets of other elements...thus providing you with the dungeons you'd want, without having to turn the entire...

It's called imagination. Just because it exists "in game" and is described as such a place, doesn't mean the players ever have to go there. Or that there aren't pocket areas they can visit. What's so horrible about the fact that it serves only as an origin for creatures that get summoned to the...

Wow. Just wow. Add me to the list that finds it hilarious that this video, despite how cheesy and cringe-worthy it is, was still better than both the real D&D movies combined! YEESH! Oh, and I'll be happy to take the redhead and the witches. Think big!

Why even have different settings if they're all going to have the same cosmology? Now every setting can just be a different continent or region of the same world. I really don't see how you can retcon the cosmology of Athas or Krynn into this new model and not completely change what those...

Is the grind aspect due to hp's being too high, or maybe the power system being too limited? I really wish there were more uses for encounter and daily powers, or some mechanic that migrated encounter powers to at-wills at certain levels. Or maybe some kind of re-charge mechanic for PC's. I...

I've read both, but haven't had a chance to see anything in either playtested, but so far I prefer APG. Both seem like really good books, and I would use material from both. FH has new magic items to go with the classes, while APG doesn't. I think you could easily use both and let players pick...

Completist mentality. I felt like I had to have everything, primarily out of a fear of "not knowing" the latest rule/monster/class/etc. As time went on I realized I would never use most of the splat books, and some of them didn't work for me anyways since I use my own homebrew setting, and alot...

Excellent! Keep up the good work! Supplements like these are greatly appreciated!

Sold! Haven't given it a thorough read yet, but from what I've skimmed I like the artwork and seems like alot of the "mount" properties are pretty well designed. Nice supplement that keeps me from having to design my own dinos! Any chance you guys might do a release with prehistoric mammals?

The group I DM for are called the "Company of the Horn", named after slaying a minotaur at low level and then carting its head around. One of their early patrons had it stuffed and had the horns gilded in gold.

I think this is a strategy that's not going to work in the long run. Regardless of the fact that WOTC is now saying "Everybook is Core!", I believe that most consumers will still view the initial books as "core" and everything that follows a "supplement". Players that didn't feel like (or...

I also like the idea of reducing the XP value of minions, instead of them being worth 1/4 a normal monster, they're worth more like 1/8. Minions are way too easy to kill and provide too much XP. Maybe Minions at higher levels shouldn't be worth any XP. Maybe enact a rule similar to what 3ED did...

Always terrible news to hear of more lay-offs, regardless of the reason. I hate to see this during the holiday season too, I wish companies had a better way of doing this, but I understand why it seems to happen at this time of year. Best wishes to all affected. Hopefully new jobs won't be...

Not digging the idea of Spelljammers being planar travelling ships now. I want Spelljammer to stay in SPACE! Oh well, I use my own cosmology anyways!

As Scott has said, there are publishers that are using the GSL as it is now, and I'm sure there are a lot of publishers that will jump on when a few points are clarified. I don't think WOTC is using the GSL as a trap to shut down 3PP's, I think they would be very lenient and forgiving of those...

Santa didn't introduce me to D&D.... Jesus did! I was introduced to D&D on a church youth trip, turns out our Youth Minister and his brothers used to play. After that trip, He started running a weekly game at Church for us! Had a hard time getting my mom to accept it though, she thought it...

Yes it is! A very big temptation! But like Umbran said, the problem with any site that has a lot of extra tourist attractions is why go for Gencon if I'm going to spend my time doing other stuff? Sure you need something to do in the evenings, after hours, but when it comes to Gencon, that's...

Gotta keep it in the midwest somewhere to control the costs and make it available to the majority of people. I mean, the whole reason Gencon is in this condition is because they moved the SW Celebration to LA from Indy, and that turned out to be a bust.

I'm hoping we'll get more than 1 "player's handbook" per year. Since PH2 is out in March, maybe PH3 could come out in the Fall...

Man, I really hope we don't have to wait that long for Psionics. I would think they'd want to do psionics fairly quickly since Eberron is going to be out next summer. Plus I really don't like the idea of waiting halfway through the edition cycle to get psionics! I know not everyone uses it...
