Where's the 'too early to tell' option?

Not really. The Microsoft and Apple guys got rich precisely because they had the bright idea that computers should be approachable for the masses: Not the niche property of a technical elite. And while having different third parties come up with a 3.75 edition might be great for the few of us...

I'd be good with that. I'd even be happy with a new edition every 5-6 years instead of 8-10 assuming there is no .5 edition silliness. (Maybe what they should do instead is, halfway through each edition cycle release ONE hardbound 'Rules Cyclopedia' type book that contains all of the key...

Two things: One, Rappan Athuk is very fun, but if 'extensively playtested' also means 'balanced' then, er, no. Secondly, how could RA exist in the same world as Freeport and Ptolus? Maybe if you're going for a Rifts-like 'everything but the kitchen sink' world, but come on: They have...

I don't agree with everything they do, or with every decision they've made. Not by a long shot. But Wizards saved D&D from oblivion at the hands of a company that was spinning itself bankrupt, because it couldn't get past old thinking and evolve. For that, they deserve an enormous amount of...

I don't believe that they are intentionally screwing the 3rd party developers. I think it is their intention, in fact to have healthy third party support. We know that they are all probably overloaded with work over there, and that's the most likely reason things have gone out. However, it is...

Some comments about which monsters should appear in the MM from another thread got me thinking: What if each iteration of the core books were themed by power source? For example: PHI: Martial, Divine, Arcane Heroes MMI: Martial, Divine, Arcane Monsters DMGI: Martial, Divine, Arcane Magic...

I quite agree about Mind Flayers... If their 'power source' is still going to be Psionic (and it should be) then I'm fine with leaving them out of the game until MM2, assuming psionics will be in the PHB2. Unfortunately for me, that almost means I'll have to wait for my beloved Gith. :eek...

Maybe charged items, if they still exist as we understand them, will be usable 1/encounter (for example) and have unlimited uses...

http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=14000736&postcount=30 Its now finished pending playtester feedback, but won't be sent to the printers for a while yet (early next year, people have conjectured)

Er, WotC, please FedEx the third party developers the first draft of the PHB that was due to be completed today, as well as copies of the playtest packets. kk, thanx. :)

I remember when Second Edition came out. I loved it, but I could admit that it was not a perfect system. After a few years, the things that annoyed me about it started to pile up. When 3e was announced I was extremely excited about WotC's 'money-grubbing, financially motivated' attempt to...

Of the 3ish gaming groups I move among and around, the end of LG is the only 4e issue that's causing any upset or anger, and mostly among the two people who are the hard-core types that play every available mod, and travel to other regions to play theirs, as well. As for the edition itself...

Every major third party company will support 4e. The question is not if they will change over, but when they will change over. I suppose that a few third parties may offer materials that are dual statted, or create web enhancements for backwards compatibility, but the idea that any of the...

Tharizdun? Yes, please. :)

That's pretty much what we do, too.

And I, for one, am glad. They are going to appear in the MM, along with the Aasimar, both of which will likely include notes on how to use them as a playable race: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=906393 I like warforged... for Eberron. Let's keep 'em there. :)

The announcement came a year earlier than I had expected, I had thought that they would milk 3.5 for another turn of the globe. But, once the details started coming in, I've become more and more excited. Barring the revelation of playable furries and battlemechs in the PHB, I'm on board day...

We've been told the errata will still be free, although I'm too lazy to look up a link, sorry.
