    I don't think WoTC is damned if they do/don't. they have created their own situation. as others have noted, ds style themes might have been more difficult once they introduced essentials. irnoically enough, essentials was introduced not long after ds and its themes. what we may be seeing is...

    Suggestions for Miniatures

    Counters might work better for you. Fiery Dragon has an electronic collection that pretty much has every monster for D&D. It might work out best for you in terms of figures per dollar and variety.

    Same boat as the Mage. The dreaded real life work is keeping me very busy.

    the tablet war is heating up

    I'm not trying to sound dense here but I have a G1. the battery went dead. I bought a battery, opened the case and popped it in. Are you saying that's not possible with an iPhone?

    Clark Peterson's LEGENDARY GAMES...

    I remember a few other previous big news postings, like supporting 4e, Tegel Manor, Paizo Partnership, etc... I'm hopeful but not expecting a lot.

    It was not the Bizzaro world that Epic support was heavily featured in. It was the Fringe Universe. Alas that only the Fringe Unvierse had the foresight to publish the DMG 3 and the revised Player's Handbook with all of the Essentials and DS Material with new themes in it... It was the Fringe...

    To do this, they would have to acknowledge that Essentials is a .5 edition and that despite the ease of use with the two systems, the differences going forward will become more and more pronounced. As the timeliness of the support is well, not there for the most part, especially in terms of...

    Loyalty among gamers, does it exist?

    Roleplaying games are slightly different than other subjects but they are still games. If you're playing with friends and hate the game, the setting, or some of the other players there and a chance comes along to play in a game without those elements that are ruining your personal fun because...

    the tablet war is heating up

    How long is each 'generation' expected to last? iPad1 didn't make it that long (much like the original iPhone) but I see a lot of parallels with PCs which can last from a few years to a much longer scope depending on its use.

    You Wanted Character Themes, You Got 'Em - Dragon 399 ToC

    So 2 pages of spell list got you to unsubscribe to a 80-120 page magazine? And I thought I was a harsh critic!

    Anything new regarding D&D ebooks?

    No, I believe he's referring to when they pulled the PDF's, En World did an interview and asked what's up, and the guy said they were working on some sort of electronic solution due 'soon'. Please correct me if I'm wrong. As it turns out, soon means soon but in God's time, not man's time...

    You Wanted Character Themes, You Got 'Em - Dragon 399 ToC

    It's about time. A few months more like this, assuming the articles are good, might be enough to make me sub again. I'm not trying to bust balls but back in 'the day', love 'em or hate 'em, every month Dragon magazine usually had 'Class Acts' that had some game mechanics for your character...

    the tablet war is heating up

    In terms of tablets, with Amazon having its own Android store, does anyone think that will have an influx on the amount of aps on Android? It seems that now the answer is no but... Is there a second party ap store for Apple similiar to that?

    What is the #1 most important thing to remember about DMing?

    Understand your play preferences and your players and find a group that matches them. All of the talk in the world about how you enjoy roleplaying means squat if your group is into serious min-maxing and just wants on with the quest. Efforts to force them into roleplaying out encounters with...

    Gaming Group Troubles

    A difficult bit. I've had similiar incidences when I was in high school due to so many people wanting to GM and so many people having difference preferences of who we played with, what game system we ran, and what was the new 'hawtness' at the store, ranging from new editions of Champions and...

    Innocent encounters.

    95. City Guard Captain is drunk and approaches the PCs. On a roll of 1d6 1. He thinks that the warrior in the group is a long lost friend and keeps talking about the old times. 2. He thinks that the players are a bunch of show offs and demands that they demonstrate their skills. 3. He thinks...

    Too Complicated A Buy-In?

    Your initial post and this post confuse me. If you have the 4e Player's Handbook, you should be good to go no? After all, it's not like 3e didn't have a .5 version or that the .5 version was free of errata. Errata your books and play or don't and move on.
