For what it's worth, I poked WOtC, and Trevor hadn't heard of this before.

I have limited (none, really) skills, but am more than willing to be a guinea pig for testing the new site when you get close to it.

Mainly because God (who may or may not be a moldy cheeto) has said that I must either buy the core books or kill my family...

Bait and switch? How could them saying "here are some re-prints of the 1E books" be considered bait and switch?

Ahh. Never mind then. More of an annoyance than anything else.

So you are agreeing with me. The only reason that he is getting accused of things like not reading 4E or knowing anything about it is because he doesn't mention it! The Legends and Lore series of columns, at the time, was directed towards examining *previous editions*, not looking at how 4E did...

IIRC, he was talking about past editions, and his words on that basically boiled down to (paraphrased) "It would be awesome if there was a stat that measured what you saw when you weren't really looking hard." The fact that he didn't immediately follow that up with "Of course, that exists in...

Well, to be fair, this is the same store which, when I went to drop about $150 on 3.5 books to start playing, the clerk tried to get me to not buy the books, and made it very apparent that the he did not want to take time away from whatever he was doing to give a complete newbie to D&D advice on...

Hussar - I agree with you. While I think that there will be some sort of OGL for D&D Next, I would be very surprised if it is as open as that for 3.X. I find it impossible to believe that WotC (let alone Hasbro) would allow a license which would allow their rules to be taken and used to create a...

According to some people who shop there regularly, your likelihood of getting a pre-order or other limited quantity item increases dramatically if you are female, and in your 20s. I have also heard rumors of a cleavage discount. Me, being male and in my late 30s, got dismissed out of hand when...

I have never played anything earlier that 3.X, but I have these on pre-order as well. Or at least now that I found a FLGS (as opposed to my first attempt, where the answer to "Can I pre-order these books" was "depends on your sex and age") that placed my pre-order I do.

One could argue that the tank in modern warfare is, with the advent of reactive armor, is actually the tank. They go onto the field of battle, and they force people to deal with them or bad things happen to them. That being said, trying to argue that a tank shouldn't exist in game combat...

Ohh, I thought that you were discussing the state of DDI right now. If I would have known that the discussion was on how WotC screwed up 4 years ago, well, I would never have gotten involved. History is history, and continually dragging it out to prove or disprove some nebulous point is of no...

That was an idea thrown out by Scott when DDI was first being announced. Very "Pie in the sky, we would like to be able to do this with DDI." However, once it was investigated how they could get the codes out to people without them being lost/stolen/etc, it was found to be unfeasible. You mean...

What's dangerous about the 3.X fighter is that although it looks like a simple class to play, I am hard-pressed to find another class where: 1 - to effectively do some things (disarm, trip, grapple, etc), you need to take a very precise chain of feats; 2 - There are more feats that look like...

For child of black, is it possible to have the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page use the same blue-on-white lettering as does the rest of the theme or the white-on-black lettering that the Black and Hide in Shadows themes use? Currently, it is blue on grey, and is hard to read.

That would work. Important to note that for my suggestion, you aren't losing con or anything like that. Could also throw in a mechanic where one could burn a step or two along a track to do something awesome, like wrestle a dragon to the ground or overcharge a spell to do more damage, be more...

A serious long-term girlfriend also has the same effect. Or, if you are not one to get tied down like that, have you considered an addiction to cocaine or heroin?

I wonder if one could tweak the con loss suggestions above as follows: Your Con score is the number of rounds that you can survive at 0 HP. When you get to zero, you start tracking the number of rounds. When you get healed, you keep note of that number. Perhaps, one could have a modifier as to...

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. WotC gambled that the tone of advertising/marketing they used would draw more customers than it would drive away. Only they know whether it worked or not, but you can be sure that even if it was a success, many of them feel that it was a Pyrrhic...
