Good deal! Does this mean by any remote chance we'll see a 15? Or is it still pretty much a done deal?

Rules light? No. With the understanding that I consider the playtest stuff to be rules medium to more. Rules light to me is anything less complex than B/X or BECMI D&D.

You know, I'm starting to think that the worst of these articles are going to be compiled, cleaned up, maybe given a polish of editing, and wind up a chapter in the next edition's DM's guide.

Just wanted to say, that was fast! I expected at least another few months after the first one. Already looking through it. Nice work.

Yeah, just a little bit. Still, a LOT of people got in on the d20 boom, and I do have some (albeit vague) recollection of a series of "masterclass" books. And I don't generally pay attention to award things save a few so my not remembering that one in particular doesn't mean much. Though I...

Sorry, never heard of him or any of the works you mention - presuming this was during the d20 srd explosion of the early oughts. Who did he write for? Was he a freelancer?

So far none at all unfortunately. For the first time in a number of years, no games are being played and none are in the planning stages (January is traditionally time for campaigns to wind down hereabouts for some reason). Nothing's wrong per se, just a confluence of things and events leading...

Not I. I enjoy having a multiplicity of systems and being able to play them all. Sure i have favorite systems, but they change over time. Which is not to say I've not encountered other 'pilgrims on the path' as it were just that I've never been one of them. Why just play one game forever?

I know there's a castle repair/management aspect to Awakening, the expansion pack for Dragon Age Origins but that's all. Hopefully one of the other posters can come up with something better. I'd be down for finding something like this too.

Excellent - I love Apocalyptica! I discovered this Icelandic band called Of Monsters and Men last week and have been grooving out to the one album I could find ever since. Odd as it's not generally my kind of music but I dig it.

Alas, not since High School. (Though for several years it seemed we always gamed on the 27th; often enough that it's my association with that date.)

I strongly prefer as a GM that the core book and any necessary / commonly consulted supplements are available in hard copy at the table. I can run a game entirely from my laptop but that's not my preference. For prep and light reading however, I prefer PDFs all the way. As a player I'm...

I answered even though I'm not at this point likely to invest in the next D&D iteration - I'd prefer a single book or boxed set (the latter only if it's considerably doable and comes with doodads and extras like dice, character sheets, a screen, whatever). I'm very much over the "Requires an...

Cool, thanks for the linkage!

Put me down as another one firmly in the "I like RPGs" camp. Make no mistake, I love D&D, but it is only one of many games I enjoy. (I'm also fond of Traveller, Eclipse Phase, and Savage Worlds, to grab a few examples) And not the only fantasy game either, as I also love Stormbringer, other...

I'm a big believer in them, especially with particularly big or epic type campaigns where there's a lot of initial player buy in. I keep them to two pages, no illustrations, formatted in a manner appropriate to the players in question (some people do after all retain and absorb information...

I'm green with envy - last week the first session of my new AD&D game went up in smoke as everyone involved collectively realized no one had the energy or the attention span to start a new campaign. Piffle. Though I could seriously work on my tan from all the great rays the game you...

Ancient spirits of thread transform this decayed thread into necromancy...or something like that. (What, this is from 2006 isn't it?) In any case, since someone's called it up....neither. I can't say stats, be they high or low, are terribly impactful on if I'm having fun (as a player). I...

I opted for alternating, but really, periodic and occasional use of his or her (rarely) and the generic are fine also provided the whole text isn't littered with them. Otherwise, liberally distribute the assigned gender in examples and whatnot without regard to GM/Player, race/species, or class...

I can't speak for the poster in question, but if I had to play a WotC iteration I'd prefer to play 3.0 as well. I ran a 3.0 game for several years and I quite prefer it to 3.5 et. al. (Prefer in the sense of never changed over to 3.5.) It's IMO, looser, less fiddly, less grid oriented, and...
