See, that's one thing 4e got right: no kenders.

Only two ten-minute breaks per work day? The adventurers need a better union.

WotC opening their own official App Store sounds like a nightmare to me, to be honest.

I like how Vancian it can make spells feels, in their naming.

To me, the fundamental problem with the CAW/CAS analysis is the presumption that the two are exact opposites or even the two endpoints of a variable dial. CAW-----------------------CAS Instead, I think that it's better represented as two different dials or axes, if you will. Highly CAS /|...

Here are some purported actual mechanical details about 5e, posted over at Giant in the Playground forums. I wonder if this is legit info. Admin edit: it's been proven that this information is fake. See post 104 in this thread for more information. -- Piratecat

I have a small wallet these days. I'd rather buy several months' worth of DDI than this particular book; the fluff isn't worth it to me.

I think if the rules are written well, they'll support organized play decently well also, with just a standard configuration of modules needed for each OP experience.

Good question, I dunno. It's a cute little map, though! I bet it must have been something that was cut from Dungeon #198.

Honestly, I will probably just read it in a Barnes & Noble sometime. If I thought 4e wasn't already a lame duck, I probably would have bought it. I'm a big Al Qadim fan, and it seems they've integrated several AQ concepts into this book, such as the sha'ir.

I hope they have 9 levels of spells, and by that I mean 9 levels of spells -- no cantrips.

It's not just you. The Elemental Chaos book sounds nice, I just find it hard to justify buying anything more for 4e given the shelf-life of the game system and the fact I'll get most of the mechanical information via my DDI subscription anyway.

Oh, yeah, myself I think they're embarrassingly bad for WotC and I can't imagine them gaining any useful information with the types of polls they're pushing now -- especially the most loaded and/or broken polls. I get what they're attempting -- they hope to somehow measure "the pulse of D&D...

WotC is sure doing a lot of polls as part of their D&D Next process. Sure, some are vague, some are confusing, some are poorly worded. Some are even controversial! (Gender-based ability scores, anyone?) But they're still polls, right? And who doesn't love a ticky-box? So here's your chance to...

I agree! D&D should definitely be all about punishing the players for choices they make. Realism such as this must take precedence over fun, and nobody should allowed any latitude for error. NO TAKEBACKS IN D&D EVER. D&D is Serious Business and if players just don't realize this, then they...

How would you know this?

What do you guys think of the player-facing morale system in 4e D&D?

Faster, Better, Smarter If you could have two of the three, which would you pick? Faster? Better? Smarter? Part of the problem with 5e's Big Promises is that have a rather naive view of being able to provide everything to everyone all at the same time. The truth is that along the way, it may...

Melee reach and space have never been about the size of your arms, though. (Even in 1e, it was about the length of your weapons, anyway.)
