That mock up is gorgeous. I'm really digging the new trade dress for the Complete Book of Denizens. I just plugged you on my journal, too.

From the dungeon delve that I played, 4e combat plays out over three or four times as many rounds as 3e combat, so the importance of initiative is diminished a bit.

I used Sleep in my Delve, so I saw slowed in action. A slowed creature has its movement reduced to 2 squares.

Robin Laws just started using one (read about his experience there), and I've been considering getting one.

I wouldn't. I'd help James Maliszewski do it: http://maliszew.livejournal.com/tag/pulp+fantasy+d%26d -George Austin P.S. That's not to say that I'm not interested in what Wizards is up to as much as what Maliszewski is doing...

Olive Oyl? Of Popeye fame?

Huh? Epic made it into the 3.5 DMG, even!

A lot of these phrases are shown up in spoken English. My favorite example is the spoken "I less than three you," referring to the two-character heart <3. The use of the longer phrase when "heart" or "love" would do is often used to add a twee or wry (just to name two) subtext to the...

About half of these really test that statement: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2007/12/YE_10_breakthroughs Edit: hmm, more like a third. But transmuting blood to type-O, or skin cells to stem cells? A super-strong, stiff, transparent material? Neat-o!

Hey, RPGs get a short chapter in the fabulous Dangerous Book for Boys. Moreover, the chapter really only talks about D&D...

It was soon enough for the first Creature Collection to come out before the Monster Manual.

NVIDIA's drivers for XP x64 get updated with MUCH better frequency than they used to (The current drivers are from Nov 6th, which isn't bad), and Microsoft releases updates for it consistently. The driver problems you'll have will be with peripherals like printers and such, and there's little...
