No. It IS done. Maybe that is a problem in your experience but it not a problem in any of the several dozen FR campaigns that I have run for 50+ different players. Not once as anyone said anything about my departure from canon storyline, the NPCs or whatever that I was doing that was wrong...

The only thing that will kill D&D is WOTC. Every edition of the game has had its devotees and those people are still playing the edition they prefer. Each move to a new edition WILL leave people behind. It is the stark reality of a game which defies being pigeonholed. Look at threads about...

I think 5e will be earlier rather than later. I base that on several things: Despite being in development for two years, a number of things still seem to be in flux based on some comments made by the designers. I don't know if 3E had things nailed down at the same point in the development...

Since 1974, when I started D&D, I have introduced 117 people who have never played the game to the game. And I don't go to conventions, so that number isn't being padded by one time only games.

A series of murders has come to light and has tongues wagging in every inn. Investigators are trying to determine who or what is responsible. The secret is that two noble houses are engaged in a war started by a recent major transgression. House 'A' youngest daughter was raped by a young rake...

A senior noble family member of house whose star has been rapidly rising has made a Faustian pact with a powerful outsider. The terms of the pact is what has propelled the noble house to it's position of power, wealth and influence. However, it is nearing time for the noble and his family to...

QFT. This is my sentiments exactly.

I used OpenRPG for 2 years. In the last 6 months, I've been using Fantasy Grounds II, which I prefer by far over OpenRPG. I had issues with OpenRPG with its nodes structure and the game play. Frequently, sessions were plagued by lag and I don't recall a session in which one or more of the...

They are not gone. They will appear in a future 4E product (Eberron related for certain, possibly in a Fey related book) Probably apty named 'The Revenge of the Gnomes' :lol:

The Code of Torm can be found here. Code of Torm

I would say to be prepared to be disappointed. Everything that has come out so far indicates that the 4E Fighter would fit nicely into a wuxia style campaign (like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or The House of Flying Daggers) and would appear very 'out of place' in a Conan-esque or...

Wow. There is still a few of us out there. I've got most of the old SPI games, including all the ones that came out in Strategy and Tactics magazine. I don't have a count but I think my collection is over 100 games printed by them. And I do have the Dragonquest game, the Dragonquest...

When 4E was announced, I initally was enthusiast and hopeful. As time goes on and more and more info comes out, I am experiencing a growing sense of ill ease. Celebrin and broghammerj have summed up alot of my misgivings towards the new edition. Dammit, I so much want to like 4E - but as more...

Fixed it for you. If WOTC truly 'knows' their market, then everything they print would be a smash success. Which it is not ... and the proof of that is comments on these very boards. Just look at the commentary on any new publication from WOTC. You will find a near even split of people who...

Marvelous. I was hoping they would tone down the 'Freak Show' syndrome in 4e. Now Dragonborn can join Tieflings as 'core' freaks instead of supplement book freaks. Give me the misunderstood and abused gnomes any day. At least gnomes are conceptually palatable in a wider range of campaign...

If by controversial, you meant that everyone else but Edena decried the methodology and he stood by it - yes, it was controversial. :D

Thanking me for trying to kill their characters week after week? Thanking me for the misery and drama I put them through? No, their weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth is thanks enough. :p (Actually, they thank me by telling me how great the sessions are and by providing me with free...

Destiny - the party comes together because fate or destiny has appointed them to fulfil something. The party may know or not know that they are fated by destiny. Works well for adventure paths like AOW where the party is destined to stop the Age of Worms, for example. The Freak Show - a party...

Our group uses Fantasy Grounds and Ventrilo.

As a spell from a spell list, wish was kicked to the curb in my game long, long time ago. Wish is the province of gods, archdevils and genies. They are plot devices or special rewards, not something to memorize X times per day.
