For a good treatment of the Fey, look in Tad William's books Memory, Sorrow and Thorn as the Sithi seem to be very like the 4E version of the Eladrin, save that they are more feral.

In 4E I would make an insight check for the PCs; if they make it, they get a reasonable idea of the risk, though I wouldn't couch it in numbers. If they fail the check I would increase or decrease the "percieved difficulty" by the amount they failed.

All the Lone Wolf books are available hyperlinked and you can download them or play them online from here (note that this site has Joe Dever's approval and is not like the Underdogs gamebooks site, which is illegal); Project Aon: Main / Home (browse)

I posted this in another thread but thought it was relevant to the discussion of why 4E sometimes feels like WOW or other videogames and why this doesn't work for a PnP RPG. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem with defining a "feel" as in...

Aha! Now I understand; thanks for that. I got another real XP point just after and levelled up! Who-hoo! Ydars is level 3 at last. Oh and while I have you here, how is the WoBS map of Ragos coming along?

My XP don't seem to be registering correctly; I had 22 XP before someone gave me XP today and I STILL have 22 XP according to the my account. Can someone also please let me know how many XP you need to go to level 3? I am still level 2 with 23XP. Not a big problem but I get so few I need...

Asmor, I don't really assume this; I just had to pick something for 4.5E to give it some identity. Otherwise, the name 4.5E wouldn't give people any indication of what the changes were; and I am not clever enough to make another suggestion for how to fix 4E :p. Also, I picked the simulationist...

I am not asking what YOU would do in your games; I am asking what YOU think WoTC should do "now that 4E is dead" (note this is hypothetical). Of course many people would carry on playing 4e, but I haven't put an option for that because if I did, the premise "4E is dead" wouldn't mean a whole lot.

I asked it because I am curious as to how WoTC could best extricate themselves from the current situation. I made the point on another thread that WoTC DO listen to EN World opinion and Darrin Drider asked me what can they do about things as they stand. He was asking; they are listening, but...

This poll is here because I wanted to see what people would do IN THE ABOVE situation. Of course 4E will continue! I am even writing an adventure for 4E that I hope will someday see the light of day, if only on EN World. I am really interested in this question "Does people's dislike of 4E...

I don't want an edition war here; I am NOT anti 4E! I want to know what ENWorlders feel in the FOLLOWING scenario (note I am NOT suggesting this will happen, I am just curious). This is MAKE-BELIEVE people. Hopefully we all are good at this (what do you mean you are gamist and don't like all...

Please vote; some of you responding don't seem to have done so!

1) Create 4.5E version of D&D that takes on board the criticisms of 4E and resolves them. I know some people will say this is wrong, but the opinion polls on this site indicate that many people who think 4E is not for them would respond better to a fundamental re-jig than continuing in the...

Argghhh; my 500th post and still a goblin sharpshooter!

A couple of points occur to me after reading this thread. The first is the question "Why the need for a new edition?" I do accept that 3.5 has a number of serious mechanical problems but I would like to point out that the CORE 3.5 is almost as stable as CORE 4E (see my comments below); it was...

On another thread I got thinking about estimating the purchasing power of EN Worlders collectively, and so decided to post this poll (my first). So come on ENWorlders; declare the depths to which your obsession plunged. Please also note that I am asking how many books you had at the height of...

The idea that EN World is irrelevant and not a "representative sample" of typical gamers is crazy for one reason; this is not a democracy where one person gets one vote. Your "market weight" to WoTC depends on how much you spend. The more you spend, the more they should care. It would not...

The fighting fantasy books were just one a whole raft of those "choose your own adventure" type books; 1) Bloodsword; 5-gamebooks based on the Dragon Warriors world and using some DW like mechanics. 2) Lone Wolf by Joe Dever 3) Way of the Tiger; Ninja gamebooks based on the D&D world of...

Art; I love everything older than 20th century and am fascinated by what ancient art tells us about the world view of people from long ago. I particularly love the statuary of ancient Greece, the cave art of both the Aborigines and of the hunter-gatherers of France, and the menhirs and megaliths...

How weird; the same page translocation, to a thread from ages ago, happened to me when I voted.
