I don't think anyone has mocked their writing, rather, like myself, they've only stated that they don't care for it. And I have read some terrible RPG (and novel) stuff. FATAL wasn't even English, it was more like some twisted reverse, double negative, Englush. (and reprehensible, insulting...

Sex in the City meets The Cape. Gawd, I hope not. Though, I like the casting of Adrianne Palicki.

I agree with your point. I was simply pointing out how using a readied action to get an additional SA during a round can be done without resorting to readied-action-cheese.

I am in agreement 100%. I liked that they used to consistently have preview and promotional material in the free area - IMHO, your point makes complete sense. I also remember a lot of nerd rage and hand-wringing when they were doing it.

There are a LOT of ways to get SA outside of flanking, though.

I understood your post. :) I was simply pointing out that WOTC is damned if they put the preview material inside the paywall, and damned if they put it outside the paywall. (Pointing more towards El Mahdi's post)

Yea, I had a hard time with a lot of the writing style that the gang at Troll Lord uses. I have a bunch of their books (and only got the original couple of C&C books, though never played it). The only person I have heard of that plays C&C consistently is Treebore, and if he hasn't commented on...

What about this situation: The player going after the rogue runs the party barbarian. the readied action is "attack after the barbarian moves". If the party barbarian moves into flanking, then the rogue fires off his readied standard action (and gets SA again), then the barbarian strikes.

While I totally agree with this, remember when they were doing it and everyone railed on WOTC for putting preview material up? It was crazy. "WOTC is putting all this damn advertising in the free area of DDI site! They just want us amped up to buy their product, those capitalist pig-dogs!"

Now I wanna read it...

When running 3.x I generally give out levels every 3-4 game sessions, depending upon how fast the party wants to level up, or depending upon what the group has accomplished. In 4e, I started using strict XP rules (and magic item parcel rules), but in the past 9 months or so have gone back to my...

You had me for the first half of your post, but the last paragraph, was like reading about how to administer discipline to a group of 6yr olds learning how to play sorry or monopoly.

I mostly agree with this, and I love the in-game discovery process, but PC's are not blank slates when they start. They are (generally) young adults that have lived the equivalent of 18 or so human years. They would know a few things about the world, their local area, and maybe even some...

DM: There will be no Tiefling PCs. Player: I am curious, why? DM: You know what? If you have a problem with the English language, then get a dictionary. No means no. Personally, I would have to resist the urge to headslap the DM before walking out. Geez... I just asked a simple question.

Actually, I disagree with this. And, if I recall correctly, every edition of the game has a paragraph in the DMG or the PH that states in some form or another that the book is NOT law, and that the DM is the final arbiter. Yes, the books have the rules, but rules =/= law. And this is why I...

I thought Irn Bru was like some weird tasting orange soda... Is there even fruit or juice of any kind in it? Yea, I don't get it either. Dice cheating is something that really raises my hackles more than anything else at the table (except a**hats that keeps trying to PvP when everyone else is...

Is there an update posted there? I barely have enough time to spend at EnWorld, let alone another gaming forum. :) Between work related forums and the fact that I am a developer makes it so that I am in front of a PC all friggin day.

What about the universe of Flinx? Alan Dean Foster? I think they were the Commonwealth novels...

Ahhhhhhhh...... I see now, you crazy Brits! ;) Our concentrate is mostly frozen, but we just call it Orange Juice (or Grapefruit or whatever it is....)

When I was a young Monte Hall DM (8th grade, 1978, give me a break) I decided that i wanted to run crazy game. I ran Barrier Peaks and they got a ton of Monte Haul huge treasure. Then a new guy joined. I swear I did watched him go 18/00 and then 17, 16, 5, 4, 4. He kept it. Then they went...
