The DM doesn't look like he is making up their names on the spot. ;)

Gygaxian weirdness. The ultimate in exception-based design.

This was an interesting post to me. By and large, most mythological heroes had, what, 7-10 or fewer astounding encounters in their career? In order to even entertain the conceit of D&D, we have to come to terms with the idea that any campaign of PCs is going to encounter "an entire mythological...

You mean 3.x, right, not 4e? If so, I agree with you 100%.

Dragaera would be SWEET.

XP for you, sir!

This matches my experience. Right after the time TSR was scrubbing all hints of satanism from their game, out comes Vampire, a game embracing everything D&D was fleeing from. I remember thinking to myself how Vampire saved D&D from Magic by making RPGs cool again. I didn't want to play...

I love the game, but the flavor text for powers? BLEAGH.

Do they have NPCs they care about? "Surrender yourselves, or we make all your mothers a foot shorter, the hard way" ? Gives you the chance to make them really hate the bad guys that are orchestrating the plot.

I'm betting the 9.99 price, but I guess we'll see. Really looking forward to Death Dealer and the Dungeon Alphabet.

Can I get an "Amen" ?

Another perspective is, yes, my 4E is wizard is equal to Merlin, as long as I can accept that the fighter is equal to Hercules, the paladin, to Arthur, the rogue, Gray Mouser. A wizard is only "mundane" because the player wants him to outshine his peers.

I felt the same way when they did away with the "fighting man" class. But your friend is right. Whereas a magic user/wizard could pretty much do everything a thief could do, but more reliably, in 4E that is no longer the case.

I have a friend who wrote an entry. Supposably it is laid out and headed to the printer in a week or so.

Actually the box reads "paper and pencil and miniature figures" So "yes" to minis, just like it says on the box.

Funny --- I owned and painted a lot of minis, but I don't them we ever used them apart from setting them up atop our character sheets at the table ("This is what my barbarian looks like.") Seems odd thinking back actually. Used my first grid when running a 3.5 game at Gen Con. Still run...

Wow. Those are like 1980s prices! Ha! Old school *is* back.

That's funny, I was just checking this out: Goodman Games Rituals are gaining traction in our group, too. Looking forward to adding some variety and spice.

Sounds like a fun game to me. Beowulf fits nicely into 4E, imho. "Step aside, thane, I'm gong to rip the arm off that monster!"

Ditto. What do you use for a flow chart generator?
