I didn't ask for advice on how to spend my money, thank you.

Do the sale figures include also Amazon and such? I own a good %80 of 4E books, but I haven't bought one of them in a store since the edition's launch.

When creating a custom character from scratch, in the available classes I see: Knight (Weaponmaster) Mage (Arcanist) Slayer (Weaponmaster) ... Shouldn't that be Knight (Fighter), Mage (Wizard), etc.? Funny thing is that the original PHB classes seem to be listed correctly, e.g. Weaponmaster...

I basically grew up with the Known World (not Mystara, meh!) and Basic D&D. I have fond memories of the setting as presented in the Gazetteers, but I really think it was ripped to shreds by later material, and I would never play it after the default time period. No Alphatia. Glantry destroyed...

I'd sure like Spelljammer, Planescape, or Mystara, but I would't define them as "semi-obscure". Besides the real big ones like FR, Ravenloft and DL, I always thought of these 3 settings (plus Dark Sun) as the major league. Birthright I think is just a little less famous. I'd like to see it...

As much as I'd have liked this, It would have been impossible, because it would have made the PHBs nearly incompatible with the newer material.

A little side note. I never played a BMR, but if the main concern is low damage output and low defenses, could it be errataed/house ruled with a simple flat +2 damage/+1 to defenses (maybe per tier per tier) to all beast powers? Not that a house rule is a good excuse for poor design, but...

Actually, this is something that happens ALL the time. For Americans, a sombrero is a very peculiar Mexican kind of hat. For spanish-speaking people, it just means hat. Sombrero - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre Same thing for anime, or manga for that matter. Is Spider-man a manga? Well, in...

I have been watching anime, or like we always called them, Japanese cartoons for the last 35 years, spanning from media produced in the sixties through the naughties. Thundercats is DEFINITELY NOT anime. Produced by an American company, for an American audience, with American tastes in mind...

I voted maybe, but it would actually be "probably". I still prefer paper books to digital. The scale would be definitely tipped if it had some nice new stuff instead of just errata, and PH/Essential integration and swap feats.

I commented just the spelling error because I felt that's the only thing that was worth pointing out. In official material, it looks bad to mispell your own products. I have nothing else to add to the other news. By the way, I, for one, I'm happy to see the Warlord renamed Warlord (Marshal). I...

I'd really like at least in OFFICIAL stuff, for people to write the names of their books correctly. It's FORGOTTEN, not FALLEN kingdoms. You know, it's, after all, ESSENTIAL material.

Is it the same found here? Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Art of Shadow) P.S. they mispelled the name in the picture, it seems...

Go tell that to Arkham Horror players!

This is a quick sample of what I meant. It's by no means assumed to be balanced (I'm no RPG designer), just a rough draft. Like others, I think that big ba-boom spells should be handled by rituals. But I understand people who want to implement in play the archetype of the wizard who wields...

This looks like a skill challenge. Maybe working on the skill challenge mechanism to achieve "pimps" to standard spells could be interesting. Let's say, a skill challenge that if successful maximizes your spell. One that lets you use a daily without expending it. One that lets you use 2...

I woluld like to give them input for the design process. Gladly! If they pay me for this. Not the other way round.

I think the New Red Box to be the only 4 ed product I'd label with "mostly wasted money". It's good just if you stumble on it on a toy department shelf, pick it up, read it alone in your home and get hooked and buy other "real" books. The Red Box is something you read once and don't read ever...

EULA: by continuing you accept to consirer the following post by Danzauker (from here on called "the poster") as "tongue in cheek satire" and not "mod disagreeing" and thus consider the poster not liable of banning. Lo, when, WHEN will we see the day when a similar mod post will be written...

Actually, half of the work is/would be REMOVING the "excess camp" from the Known World campaign. :D The other half is trying to fit the modules in the KW as it's described in the Gazetteers I chose to put the Isle of Dread in the Feywild, for example, because I really find it unplausible that...
