I feel gates might work as a supplement to travel rather than a substitute, if the destinations of the gates are far away enough, and gate cities rare enough. Say one of the main cities has three gates, and is one of the rare few cities that has this many gates, and the gates lead either to the...

Yep, that explains a few things. Elves as we know them are now known as Eladrin. We've seen one of the teaser pics named eladrin wizard, and one of the playtests had an eladrin wizard. Why eladrin? I rather suspect they wanted a name that evokes Eldar without being Eldar, for various reasons...

Hey guys, I've had a few busy days and that might continue a bit (hence I'm using this account). As for a Living 4E game, I still say we should wait a bit before we start - there seems to be a nice chance that gnomes will have a writeup in the MM1, along with a less-detailed racial writeup, for...

Well, if monster creation is really as easy as has been said, I guess I can easily switch the succubus' alignment back to "demon," and create an 'artillery' role devil and name it the erinyes week 1. If I'm able to create monsters in 3.X, that should be easy, no? Considering hat this is...

I never claimed that one or the other statement must be false. What I did say that the two statements, taken together, point towards more regular SRD updates for 4E than there ever were for 3.X - at least one more PHB, and quite possibly all PHBs, DMGs, and MMs (with assorted material reserved...

No, not to my recollection. Wizards made statements that some people (me included) interpreted as "there will be no 4E in 2008." At one point, they said that it won't be released soon, for example. Well, it was more than a year away at that point, and a year from now isn't exactly "soon." Also...

Will do. :)

It won't be wiz. It will be ard. In 5th edition, then, that will be lengthened to ardent. Alternatively, they'll be harries.

Yeah, what he said. ;)

Most likely you did. D&D Insider is for gaming tools, Dragon, and Dungeon, mostly. No fee or pseudo-fee to use the OGL or SRD. If Modern gets an update, the same should apply to the new MSRD.

I don't mind if it's not a precise review (not that any review could be written at this point). But if you want to make fun of something factual, you get better by using something factual. Why not make fun of gnomes or bards popping out of existance, which is slightly inaccurate, but better...

Hasn't it worked for a few days now? I hadn't had any problems logging in with my account a few days after launch, anyway...

There was also the d20 Modern Weapons Locker (which seems to have stayed in shelves), and Unearthed Arcana, which ended up on a number of SRD sites (Hmmm, I really wonder why Wizards never put out more books that use the OGL...). As for the class discussion, supposedly there will be retraining...

I'd vote other - I have nothing against them to be in, but only if their Aasimar counterparts are also in.

So, we've been told that Psionics will eventually enter the SRD. Now we're also being told that Psionics will be in a PH. If I know my math, that seems to add up to an interesting number.

No, it's mediocre and unfunny because it is false. 3.X had no level cap. The 3.0 core books did, but that was quickly abolished with the Epic Level Handbook. The 3.5 core books incorporated Epic as well, having no level cap. The 4th Edition core books will have a level cap of 30. I predict that...

Does "being put into the SRD" count as tender loving care? ;)

Yeah, it's "just" external playtesting now. Most of the framework already exists, and most big stuff should be ironed out. It is still a pretty tight timeframe, though, should something big be discovered that the developers overlooked.

Abundandly clear. I'm not sure where Graf has seen any indication that Wizards is using the "less than 11 core classes" thing for marketing, really. It's something that to my understanding was mentioned in passing and with stuff that makes it completely clear that more base classes will be...

a) Oops. :heh: Err, I mean, as a red dragon myself, I have to spread wrong rumors about my vulnerabilities. Yes. b) Yeah, that is probably the case, so I said "might," but I guess there is a possibiity that it is the case.
