Intent and execution are two very different things. Maybe that is their intent. But the reality is that the novel line is a gold mine. And the FR novel philosphy is GO BIG or GO HOME. Bigger is better. Regional and Country level major events. Over the top heroes. etc. It has been stated...

Nope. Spindoctoring 101. Never once in that post did Wyatt say anything that amounted to 'we heard you and we made some changes as a result'. I find this quote interesting. At Candlekeep, a number of people have asked Ed about the changes. Ed responded that (paraphrasing) he is in the...

Killjoy. If MerricB wants to do the Snoopy Dance and others want join in, what is the harm in that? It is not like there is a finite pool of enthusiasm and that if MerricB is giddy, then someone else is going without because MerricB has taken more than his share. If you are bothered by the...

The Raiders of Galath's Roost (Dungeon 87) is a Forgotten Realms adventure that takes place in Mistledale. It is for character levels 1-4 and it will easily take the party from 1st level to 3rd level. Throw in some more encounters of your own and some more random encounters and you can make it...

I would dock the character the XP for casting the wish and then continue with the game. The wish as worded is a throwaway and the net effect amounts to no effect at all, except the character is down XP.

I guess the Art Director is going to get a call, followed by a call to the Webmaster tomorrow. :lol:

It doesn't come up often in my campaign but I don't try to avoid it - it just doesn't come up often. Recently, it did in one of the Savage Tide adventures - Enemy of my Enemy. The requirement to have an audience with the Queen of Succubi in the buff raised a few eyebrows but the players were...

I didn't see it at all, even when it was pointed out. Then it kicked in after much staring and wondering why I am missing it. It is like the contraversy in which one scene in The Lion King, people claimed to see a dust cloud form the word SEX, which outraged many parents. Despite knowing...

<sarcasm mode on> We are just feeling the love here. So much so, it is a pity the Eberron fans are now going to miss out on all that loving we've been getting. I guess for the Eberron fans - always the bridesmaid .... never the bride. :p <sarcasm mode off> Personally for me, this go...

I don't see it happening. No reason really except for a gut feel that if they really wanted to do M:TG setting book, they would have by now. I suspect the Diablo setting and Warcraft setting didn't do enough volume to continue to pursue cross-over products but that is just a guess on my part.

It is the magnitude of the change. You stated you like Eberron and we know that Eberron is going to get a two year advancement in the time line. Now, if Eberron got the magnitude of change the Realms is getting, try this: The Eberron cosmology is completely revamped to conform with the 4e...

That is speculation based on the sample chapter from The Orc King book by Salvatore that is coming out. The chapter implies that it is 100 years since the Spellplague struck. The spellplague hits in 1385 DR. Eric Boyd has confirmed at there will be a jump in the time line but didn't state...

Well, this IS established. 1385 DR - The Year of Blue Fire Gods are destroyed. Entire planes are destroyed or swept away. Only Greater Gods can protect their own planar domains. Looks like everyone else is taking some sort of hit. The Weave is destroyed and thousands of mages die or go...

You do realize that most of your examples are a product of various safety equipment being used like fly wires, crush cartons, mattresses, etc and the safety equipment is edited out. It is best not to cite movies as proof considering how far the magnificent art of special effects has advanced.

I don't think is going to be a consensus on this. Ask 10 people what is D&D to them and you will likely get 10 different answers. Ask the same people when D&D is no longer D&D and you will get 10 different answers again. What is or isn't D&D is a personal question that the individual must ask...

Is the Plane of Shadow still around or did the Shadowfell kill it and take it's stuff?

The problem is the changes become a 'net zero' situation, which means that one group only is happy if the other group 'loses' Let's use the 're-imaging' as the OP stated as an example. That will attract new fans who now get an entry level into a new 'Realms' in which all the previous tropes...

It is business as usual for my group. The announcement of 4E has zero impact on the campaign and how it is conducted. Once 4E comes out, our group will look at it and decide when to adopt it...or not. Until then, there is too little concrete information out for me or my group to get worked up...

I don't know about 'set in stone' as an analogy. More like 'poured concrete that is starting to set'

It is just jitters on your part. Mearls has stated the PHB is virtually done, barring tweaks based on the playtesters. 4E has been in development for two years, so take comfort in that. Also, if you look at the blogs and such, the playtest reports by WOTC staffers were from playtests done...
