I'm not going to nitpick about this but I'm not trusting some post in a forum as the definative source for where the Cleric came from. I can look at wikipedia and get a completely different story. That's ok though since it's not that important. :p foolish_mortals

guys, I know its hard to understand buy people would buy these things. Look at Call of Cthulhu, it has modules from 30 years ago still in print. Pendragon might be getting the old stuff back. These are good stories to adventure in. That doesn't mean that new stuff isn't developed...

I hate the anime art. It's not something that makes me want to buy the game. I like the cool b+w and paintings they did in some of the 2nd edition supplements. If it's not something I don't want on the wall it's not something I want in the book. Anime is crap. foolish_mortals

My guess is that it will be called the Inane edition. Maybe they have clowns running around the office to inspire the designers. The manager is probably reading a fart joke book to keep everyone in the right frame of mind. I hope this isn't so. foolish_mortals

I'm starting to suspect that their playing with nostalgia is just a taste to come. Dnd will be moved to the new TSR division of Hasbro and away from the WOTC staff. If they really want to get the old players back they have to take it away from the people that pushed them away in the first...

erph, just get rid of them. Make it how it used to be, a special event. Make gauntlets of ogre power and belts of giant strength all the more sexier. The Wish spell was a good way to make points go up. Special occasions only. foolish_mortals

I think I'd add Green Slime to the list. The last time I looked they'd downgraded the wonderful monster to a trap. A trap I tell you! Never call a monster a trap! Black Puddings are not something you eat, but stick your sword into. foolish_mortals

balancing isn't that important to me. Having cool things in the game are. I saw a "The One Ring" design video where the designer was talking about keeping the characters true to the setting. If Rangers and Noldor are more powerful than other characters, that's the way it is. Being true is...

I don't know. Do they have any access to Dnd materials? I'm always worried about things like githyanki being given wings and tails. foolish_mortals

I'm skeptical that we need a big dnd base to make the industry healthy. There are really great games out there that can attract non-gamers more readily. If dnd disappeared tomorrow we'd still have those games out there. Probably they'd have larger communities as gamers looked for something to...

converting is a big chore and it doesn't make stuff that's been missing for 20 years accessible on the market. A lot of people don't have time to spare trying to figure these things out. They just have time to play! foolish_mortals

guys and gals, I'm going through my first read of Deathwatch and really like how they hand out experience and do leveling. Experience seems to be handed out according to how tough you found the encounter, not how powerful the monster is. That seems to make sense to me. Instead of getting a...

where'd you hear this at? It doesn't seem right, though it could be. foolish_mortals

guys that have played any of the versions from 1-3, I find it foolish that wotc let so many great adventures just fade into the mist. They completely missed the ball in not making a good D123 or A1-4. They shouldn't have let these great adventures become just legends. I consider them part of...

I'm thinking there might be an overestimation. I'm very skeptical about what's going to be produced at this point and won't be doing any preordering. I won't be buying the game until I've had a chance to hear what other people are saying and a good hour to peek at the product at a game shop...

good god, you might be right. I guess pseduo-immortaility of characters must already be in for 5th. Maybe there wont be any monsters at all to fight... foolish_mortals

I heard they stopped doing that because having a character die wasn't considered fun. There's not much to say with that kind of thinking being prevalent in the game. Were lucky monsters even did damage. I hope 5th doesn't take that part out. foolish_mortals

girls, which books do you like the best out of the stuff that's been printed since the beginning of dnd time? I like: G123, D1-3 from first Al-quadim from 2nd(I wish I had planescape, that always sounded cool). 3rd had this albino drow module that was cool to have. foolish_mortals

Now that I think about it, Liches seem to have been wimped out as well. They used to be spell guys which made them nasty. Now all they have is this necron ray. Bring back their spells. foolish_mortals

I'll take the 1rst edition picture of githyanki over the silly thing that they've been turned into everyday. I agree that the inside isllustrations are much better(sometimes black and white rules!). I'm not sure what they were thinking making the githyanki look like elves or halflings. The...
