    Nerfing the Roper

    How many players are we talking here? I put a roper up against six 8th level PCs in a Ptolus adventure three times now. They had to go down a shaft on a steam elevator. The steam hid the roper till they got to the bottom. None of the groups I've put through this has ever brought the whole group...

    Is it a full moon or something?

    Strangely, there was a full moon this week.

    War characters give me a headache

    I think it's in the running for third most popular word to put in a book title. Coming soon, Dragon War Magic!

    Slucher's Art

    Great stuff in this thread! The fish in the first one reminds me (but isn't the same) of both Jane Yolen's Wizard Isles and the Afanc from China Mieville's The Scar. Your work is excellent. The gunslinger actually reminds me more of the Stephen King Dark Tower series, but I can see Indiana Jones.

    D&D 4E The Great d20 Books that shaped 4E

    I would suggest that Book of Iron Might, as a precursor to Iron Heroes, shows Mearls thinking headed down the 4E path. That said, Book of Nine Swords appears to be the clearest Wizards product example of the line of development. That and I think the D&D Minis game itself spurred a lot of changes.

    D&D 4E Merric's thoughts on 4e

    Bang! You hit the nail on the head. It's amazing to see several ENWorld community pillars with reservations, such as you and Psion and others. I hope Wizards can fix all of this because there are some really excellent people over there trying to do the right thing and give us a new iteration...

    Iron Heroes fan?

    Clean shave fellow with sandy blonde hair? Probably my friend Colin. He's hoping to come back next year. Glad the adventure's up. I will download soon. :)

    The K-Team: Best Undead Adventures?

    I remember reading Tortentanz. That was very cool and imaginitive. You can read about Empire of the Ghouls and Open Design here.

    Society, Beauty and the Magic World

    This is a side issue with magic. I could see a D&D society where the rich spend money on magical masks to constantly change their appearance.

    Seeking a game store with Tact Tiles in stock

    People have been known to look into purchasing them overseas to ship them to the US. (Too expensive, but my friends thought about it.)

    The K-Team: Best Undead Adventures?

    Ravenloft (the original) just for the sheer beauty of it. L1: Secret of Bone Hill for the nostalgia. Lance Hawvermale and Rob Mason''s The Bonegarden, from Necromancer Games. (I also hear good things about Raise the Dead, but don't own it.) Amazing location with tons of cool stuff in it...

    D&D 4E Why no beginner boxed set for 4E? [Set Confirmed in post 10]

    I concur. The current "starter drug" is cool in that it has minis, but it stops really short of being a usable product. Or rather it doesn't go quite far enough to hook potential players. The old boxed set that I got in 1981 ignited my appetite. As soon as I and my friends exhausted its...

    D&D INSIDER CLARIFICATION...e-books/extras

    The name is probably accurate, but watch downloaders get defensive about the label anyway. I game with numerous people who download. I don't. As a (really minor) published author, I dislike it. That's neither here nor there of course. I'll be curious to see what the security measure winds up...

    D&D 4E Movement & Time in 4e

    This seems like a pretty smart change, foreshadowed by listing movement on stat blocks as 30 feet (6 squares). It's just in reverse, with a silent "30 feet". ;)

    Will drow be dark elves or dark eladrin?

    Coming soon from Disney Pictures, Drowladdin! The tale of a boy who might be a dark elf, might be a dark eladrin, whose all heart and a magic carpet. Oh yeah, he has a genie cohort who kicks, well you know.
