I have no argument, I'm not asking for Colossal creatures now. I don't recakk who called on them. Well, I don't think I "should" be happy of every bone thrown at me, and I sure would NOT be happy. Of playing a satyr instead of a centaur. Between some limits I'm more than happy to use fluff to...

That's exactly what I said. If a category has no game effect it's just fluff, so rules-wise it does not exist. :) Given that line of reasoning, then I should be happy to play a Medium pixie, or a bipedal centaur, because Tiny and four legged creatures "throw balance out of the window"? No...

Yes, I know they are. And in 4e they are even less accurate (they got rid of Colossal, after all). But if dwarves are on the low end of Medium, and "regular" goliath are on the high end of Medium, I'd really wish half-giants to be on the lower end of Large. I don't care what race you reskin to...

Quote all, except for the last point. I'd still very much prefer all sorcerer-kings to be alive in the default setting. Meh, that's what I'll do. Oh,I'm also quite disappointed of half-gients being Medium. I really don't like that. Goliath could at MOST be quarter-giants, not half. Half-giants...

Actually, I like that. I'm already too fallen back on the publishing schedule. Too many books out and too little time (and little money). I'll use the fall to get back on track. :)

What you say is oh-so-true, and that's why I liked the Blood War IN Planescape. Planescape humanized EVERYTHING! It's a big part of it's flavoue and style. The Gods are not omnypotent beings that created the cosmos. They are just "kingpins" bullying around with their great, but limited, power...

I used to plan things sorta the way some people wrote in this thread. It was long before I heard of the "narrativism/gamism" dichotomy. BTW, for what is worth, I was quite wary of encounter based powers when I first heard them in Bo9S, before realizing they were just putting another piece in...

Actually, Madame Hydra is still "active". The current one (don't know the number on the list) should be Viper, if I'm not mistaken, again involved in Wolverine's adventures. Saturnyne, I haven't heard much on her after the innovative Captain Britain stories of Moore and Excalibur stories of...

Good work! P.S. You misplaced Garaitha's Anvil (Dungeon 167 - Scales of War AP) at 15th level instead of 17th and you didn't list Tyranny of Souls, A (Dungeon 168) as Scales of War adventure. ;)

Yes, they did, and strange as it seems he also had a crucial role in last year's Secret Invasion saga. Seems at Marvel's they never throw anything in the bin. :P

My quick house rules (yet untested): Vancian Mage class feature (extends Spellbook) Each time you gain a level that lets you select an encounter spell you select 3 encounter spells. All your encounter spells are usable only once per extended rest (effectively, they are now "minor daily"...

If I were to reskin a race to do the Elan, i'd probably use Deva. "Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes" has always had Elan written on in capital letters to me.

Citadels is one of my favourite games. Easy enough to be taught with a couple of example rounds, still, very funny. Only drawback is that it works well for 5/6 players. More, and the game grinds to a halt in the character picking phase (expecially with inexperienced players). Less, and it's...

Does the new EN World have boobs?

Yes I know that, I was somewhat voluntarily understating the facts. That's because IMHO I still see the new Red Box as a teaser for the complete game. I'm not sure "replayability" is something the authors are looking for or even wishing for. For the sake of selling the game, the earlier the...

(1) That's not what I meant. What I meant was: the Red Box seems to be the introductory/walkthrough chapter of an adventure/platform videogame. You know where you interactively learn all the controls of the pad, one by one? (2) This is probably what interests me (and I think other people who...

Problem is that Basic and Advanced catered to the same market. They were not selling a sci-fi RPG and a fantasy RPG. They were selling two versions of the same game. Economy says that printing, stocking, advertising, selling ONE product makes for lesser costs than TWO products, so it's more...

The way I see it, they are trying hard not to do the mistake they made in the past. A "basic" line of products that becomes a competitor for the "advanced" line and splits the market for, what, 20 years? The new Red Box just shows newbies the basic mechanics of the (heroic tier of the) game...

I really think it's just a matter of money. I'd really have liked a 2 book (3 with monsters) setting model, because I like DS, but I was not surprised of the news. Let's face it: Forgotten Realms and Eberron are the big league. Almost every new player is going to play one of the two, maybe...

50 dollars for a rulebook, IMVHO, is way, WAY too much, expecially for one that I'm pretty sure I'll find nobody to play with.
