So the designers are listening to people complain that something couldn't do something regardless of the fact that it did it exceedingly well (you should probably look at some of the discussions of 4E's Sleep). Yeah, that sounds like a valuable use of their time...

Considering the "half-races" are frequently treated as full races themselves in campaign settings, I fail to see what the issue is. Half-elves that are the children of elves and humans are UNCOMMON in Eberron relative to their pure-blood half-elf counterparts (born to half-elf parents). In 4E...

That is true, but then again, they also said that MONTHS ago, so it is possible things have changed. We will see. Personally, I would rather a feat was not required to be a magic-user all the time (rather than part-time MU, part-time Crapsack fighter). As to the video gamey attack on the...

Actually, this article seems to indicate that attack at-wills will be available without a feat. And they should be, for players that DO want them available. For those that don't want them and want to play a crossbow wizard, they can elect to have other cantrips. They aren't forcing you to...

I am starting to think a lot of the hate directed toward 4E stems from people seeing terms like Defender/Striker/Leader/Controller, not reading beyond that point, and then extrapolating what the game is like based totally on those terms and preconceived notions of what those terms entail rather...

It does give you the nice ability to show Goblin-Hobgoblin-Bugbear equals Chimpanzee-Orangutaun-Gorilla. Sizewise, they are also pretty similar in their differentiation. I would rather have bugbears be hairy more in the excessive body hair appearance rather than the furry appearance, have them...

As someone who didn't buy PF, I certainly will be getting these. 3.5E wasn't perfect, but it is still worth having on my shelf. But they need to release 2E reprints too.

Never is a really long time...

FINALLY. Something to be excited about! Seriously, most everything revealed in the past month has been a depressing trek of "Slay the Bastard Child that is 4E!". I am really liking how Backgrounds and Themes are shaping up. Seriously, this one post changed me from a Probable Buy on the...

Sorry, didn't get the edit in fast enough. I get what you are saying now.

Umm, where are you getting that 4E players are just going to blindly go with 5E? We have just as much to lose if 5E isn't stellar as anyone else does. In fact, it seems like the 4E players are the ones the most disappointed with some of the information that is coming out about 5E. And if WotC...

That isn't the point I am making. It is the fact that if Monte was doing his job right, Mike shouldn't have to be telling him what to do with the left arm(4E).

Umm, 'grats on proving my point. The point I was making is that "Feels like D&D" is 100% subjective. I wouldn't have as much of a problem with Monte if he showed the least bit of indication he has actually cracked the cover of the 4E PHB or even looked at a 4E character sheet. The Passive...

We had a game that felt like D&D and had the math RIGHT, and they killed it. The argument they are making is as illuminating about the design process as "I like to call it Passive Perception" was.

If they give Dragonlance a treatment similar to the one they are giving the Forgotten Realms, in that they are supporting all eras in the timeline, I would be on board. A Dragonlance 5E is a sure thing that would get me to buy into 5E. Like many others, Dragonlance was my gateway into D&D, it...

If the game flushes the progress made by 4E to appease the fans who have already abandoned D&D, I won't see much reason to jump ship. If it has new mechanics that evoke the feel of all editions (4E included), then I will probably at least buy the Core 3. I strongly hope the MM is more like the...

Thing is, no matter how they would release anything, people will complain. That is the nature of fandoms.

I would like them to go through their existing setting catalog and see what they can do to make those settings wow people. I don't think there is anything that is fundamentally wrong with any of their settings, just maybe they need to sand off the rough spots, fix the broken and rusted parts...

I don't know about the other ones, but the women in these paintings are half-naked for actual story reasons. Kitiara, the woman in the first image, has had her armor ripped away by the guardians of the Tower of Palanthas (this occurs in the novel, Test of the Twins). Normally she wears the...

Let's see, rat face, ridiculous anime sword, and oversized limbs. I really hope Wayne Reynolds stays far, far away from D&D. He has a certain style, but to me it doesn't capture D&D's feel whatsoever. Give me Elmore, Easley, or Lockwood.
