    Let's say D&D ceases to exist...what do you play?

    Luckily, 4E is still the game of choice at my FLGS, so I won't need to pull a Charlton Heston and force anyone to pry my Essentials books from my cold dead hands. But, if there was no D&D, I'd play GURPS too. Alone probably. :.-(

    Need a 'ranged' weapon for my Warden.

    A single Skewering or Hungry javelin is quite handy.

    D&D 4E In D&D 4e, is there any ability by Enemies that will silence a caster?

    In my (limited) experience, I've seen a great deal more problems with melee types who fail to bring along a ranged weapon than I have seen with casters who fail to carry a weapon at all.

    Power Pools/Points?

    I created something like this a while back. It was based off the Dragonlance SAGA sorcerer in that it used a point cost per spell effect. Turned out to be a bit cumbersome but very flexible. None of my players wanted to try it out long term so it sits gathering digital dust. Hopefully someone...

    Natural 20's & 1's?

    Amen! To me (and my group) D&D is about heroic fantasy. Its bad enough when you miss, but to make me stab my buddy or accidentally toss my weapon across the map? That's not very heroic. I'm not trying to play clumsy, real-world me. I'm Torro! Human fighter and ass-kicker who may miss, but is...

    MERGED - "About Edition Wars" threads x9

    /nitpick It was still called Deities & Demigods after the removal of the Elric & Cthulhu. (I actually have both copies.) Legends & Lore came later, post purge.

    Metaplots - it wasn't just TSR that did them

    To me, the original Dragonlance era (End of the Age of Despair aka. War of the Lance) wasn't so much metaplot as it was a shared experience between novels and D&D. Both (ideally) concluded the same with the war over and the heroes victorious. I agree that everyone pretty much knew what was going...

    Metaplots - it wasn't just TSR that did them

    Luckily, as a Dragonlance fan, I've never experienced this. Oh, wait. . .

    Two familiar questions

    Its not specifically stated where the familiar gets placed on the battle map when transitioning from passive to active, but seeing as its a tiny creature, and tiny creatures are allowed to end their movement in a square with any creature larger than they are, it seems logical that they occupy...

    No buzz for the 2011 Campaign Setting?

    Amen. Novels are the worst thing to happen to any game setting. And this coming from a Dragonlance fan. One set of novels to get the setting rolling? Great. But an endless plague of crap that we now feel compelled to consider canon? No thanks.

    Longest Board Game You Ever Played

    Back in the early 80's we used to play marathon sessions of Avalon Hill's Squad Leader (the original, not ASL) with CoI, CoD, and AoV supplements. A single turn (out of a 10 turn scenario) would take usually 2 hours with all the phases, op attacks, line of sight arguments, or armor penetration...

    Character Concepts - Dragon Lance (Updated 6/12)

    In AD&D he was a fighter. But he dressed like a ranger, and acted like a 4E warlord.
