    A Reason I Dig The Feywild...

    I like the OP's angle. I liked the feel of the Feywild for a while but hadn't thought about it quite like that before.

    I hate game balance!

    You, sir, are an officer and a gentleman. I am in your debt. :)

    I hate game balance!

    Heheh :) Tactfully and succinctly put! Could you/anyone attempt a v brief potted definition of narrativist, how it relates to Simulationist and Gamist, and/or point me in the direction of one? :)

    Do people really want/use fan adventures?

    In terms of what use I'd have for fan created adventures, as a new DM I'm interested in how other DMs approach adventure writing, as opposed to the slick professional efforts of published adventures. I'd run it if it stood out to me and made me want to play it. Otherwise it all contributes to...

    I hate game balance!

    I agree with you here, except.. I haven't read SNG (is that it?) theory, but I'd say though it's predominantly Gamist, it sits quite well with a Narrativist approach, though perhaps that's not particularly relevant/pertinent here. Am I right?

    The more I play it the more it shines.

    I think you nailed it right there.. Most people are still learning the game, but it seems to me that once one has it under his or her belt, there'll be less to reference. Regarding condition tracking, Dragon Avenue have some fantastic "name plaque" style cards with the rules for each on both...

    Female opinions, please

    Sounds like a classic case of Freudian penis envy to me ;) Please, PLEASE don't take that seriously. For what it's worth I have a penis and some of the arguments on here make me wish I didn't. Again.. Maybe I need to take some time away..

    How soon do you want more classes?

    Good effort, thanks :)

    Artificer role speculation

    I voted hybrid. I can see them being flexible depending on which rituals/infusions they learn, between leader/striker/controller.

    How soon do you want more classes?

    It should be available in the online Rules Compendium if you subscribe to DnDI.. As for print I don't know, though I think it unlikely..

    How soon do you want more classes?

    Hey man, don't sweat it! There was new info to me on your list, so thanks :)

    How soon do you want more classes?

    I seem to remember hearing that the bard will be an arcane leader although I can't remember where I heard it. It would certainly make sense given their past vibe of buffing and spot-healing. I have a "defenders of the spiral tower" party concept with all arcane characters coming to mind..

    Roleplaying Travel

    This. I like some of your suggestions Ydars, and your approach in general, but I disagree with your use of the word railroading. I think it's more about making your world more than a chain of "levels" to play (which can become railroading when there's no choice or any exchange of ideas in the...

    Where did the D&D experience character sheets go?

    Perhaps they've removed them because there were some inconsistencies with the final published version of the rules? I may be wrong, this is pure hypothesis, as I have only glanced over them and haven't checked them for consistency :)

    Gender Issues

    You seem to be assuming that a) Homosexuality is a choice (of convenience!) b) That there is a "typical" lesbian in terms of interests and physicality. Whilst making effort to remain polite, I disagree strongly. Our modern notions of masculinity/femininity whilst often assumed to be "natural"...

    What does "TPK" mean?

    This is why I love these boards. And yes, I know my post count is low ;)

    Gender Issues

    I think, as several people have pointed out, that any issues arise out of the personal issues of the players involved, rather than the act itself. Why would it be any more difficult to roleplay someone of an opposite gender than it is, for example, an elf? Which is more far fetched? I do...

    Dungeon Adventure: Heathen

    Although I haven't seen KotS yet, the format as described here gets my vote. I also agree that the delve format is worse in an electronic format, i don't have electronic thumbs for place holding. I also boggle at the lack of hyperlinking.. RE artwork for Naarash, there's the Balgura art in the...
