Maybe you didn't see the part where I explained that. Books are convenient, I can lend them out, they are easy to access at the table. If a player sees something in a book I have and they want it, it's a simple matter to go buy the book for themselves. I find DDI unwieldy and inconvenient. It...

I'm not happy about it either. It's desperation. They need DDI to have subscribers, they're banking on it. They weren't able to deliver on their promises so they're trying to find other ways to gain subscribers. It's annoying as hell and it's playing fast and loose with their original claim...

Actually it says 'rarely retreats' and I wouldn't expect it to retreat. I would however expect it to take advantage of every tactical ability it had, including movement. Despite what I consider some broken powers (though clearly not everyone does) this was a particularly stupid Balor. In...

FTR I don't evaluate 4E in terms of 3E. The number of actions available to a mob on it's own is a good point and this certainly wasn't a complete encounter but I still consider there to be some broken pieces. Consecrated Ground is clearly overpowered IMO. Though that's not the only part that's...

This is why I'd like to see the actual builds and how this all worked. The house rule above seems reasonable. I have to say that I like 4E but there seems to be a lot less thought put into some of the math than I'd like.

That's why I'm asking ;) Some of the math is wrong, not that that necessarily means it was wrong in play, only in the the recounting. Scimitar Dance is only going to do your DEX modifier in damage so at that level 7 or 8 damage at the probable high end. Plus he mentioned that the damage would...

A few more questions, not nitpicking, honestly interested in the math. The Balor should have been making 2 attacks a a round. There's no reason for it not to use "Fire and Lightning" to get both powers off, adding the whip attack in every round not only increases it's damage output, but adds...

How many player deaths? With two attacks per round, the aura, ongoing damage, and most likely missing on a 1 I'd imagine focusing on a single target, most likely the rogue, would have resulted in at least one player death. Throw in Death Burst when he goes down and a player death should be...

The majority of self selected people that responded to the poll preferred other tools first. Accuracy is fun!

What WotC was going to deliver was really only virtual dungeon tiles with a few bells and whistles thrown in. There are several VTTs out already that will enable you to do far more than WotC was likely to provide. So while WotCs online presence continues to be a bit of a comedy that shouldn't...

I don't think that would be a stretch. Barney is all about enjoying himself. I can definitely seeing the rest of the characters being surprised and Barney waving it off as no big deal: "Of course I still game".

Yeah! KotOR and Mass Effect were terrible... no wait... they were both made of awesome.

InitiativeTool does all that, is free, and has never crashed on me. RPTools - InitiativeTool Actually it may not have a HUD, I've never checked. That might be worth the time to add to it.

You mean you assume it will have a lobby. There are no specs for WotCs VTT, no feature list, not much at all tbh. Considering that it's vaporware at this point that's not surprising. What is surprising to me is any furor over the game table failing to materialize. From the little information...

Yes semantics, it's horribly inconvenient that words have meanings :) It's not *you* though, that's how it was listed on WotCs site. And when you're looking at the poll results directly it's easier to do that inner translation. However, this is also how spin works, once those figures are...

No, they weren't voted on those percentages of subscribers and non-subscribers. 83% and 82% of the subscribers who voted, voted for those two. 52% and 55% of non-subscribers who voted voted for those two. (We also don't know the margin of error). There is a difference. Perhaps more importantly...

Hmm, in regards to an issue that is about copyright infringement, on the surface at least... you choose to copy content from another website and post it wholesale here?

And they -do- keep properties sitting on the shelf as well.

Javascript can be embedded in a pdf so that it phones home. If you are reading a pdf with Acrobat and have not disabled Javascript, then yes they can get get some rough numbers. Since most computer users are fairly naive about the software they're using odds are pretty good that most of those...

Interesting, so one can assume that you will discount any pro-wotc information from WotC employees since by your logic that would also be meaningless drivel.
