Seriously, I'm one of the people in the target demographic now. I used to run & play the Realms in the late '80s and early '90s when they seemed very mysterious. Since then, I've come to loathe them for the sheer amount of power that is available around every corner (especially the NPCs). I...

BSG!!!!!!!!! ...drool... sorry.

I think Shelly is a very good writer. I like 'em.

All electronic MM1 miniatures should be available with purchase of the Monster Manual and activation of the electronic DDI code. If an a fee were to be charged (essentially to pay for the design & implementation of those electronic creatures), I would personally pay up to $10 (total and...

I'm curious to know how the "tactical encounter format" in Ravenloft & others is different from the way it's presented in The Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde (which is the only one I own). From browsing Lich Queen & others, the format looks similar to Slaughtergarde, although I never had to...

Seriously. I can't dispute that killing things and taking their neat stuff isn't a valid way to play D&D, however as a player I find the advancement of my character's story a far more worthwhile reward. Stuff loses its meaning over time. At least for me. I realize there needs to be a reward...

60. I actually feel just fine about <insert thread topic here> in 4e.

I've read all the tidbits so far and I don't think I know enough to make a guess. However, fighters being able to "heal themselves" is a huge step in the direction of the Everyman game (thank God). I usually try to run Everyman games. That's the kind of fantasy I enjoy most (A Song of Ice...

I like bulettes. Yep, that's all I've got.

heh heh. Yeah... Coincidentally, this is also one of the big reasons I love 4e right now. 4e has changed to more accurately reflect MY game. Soon, many of the rules & flavor I've been tweaking & house ruling will have "official" versions and I'll have to house rule and tweak a whole lot...

d20 Modern 4e. ...drool... Steampunk ...drool... sci-fi ...drool... pirate ships ...drool... old west ...drool... gothic horror ...drool... [:)]

Very happy about these changes. Let those who want to work to be GOOD be good, those who want to work to be EVIL be evil, and let everybody else do as they will. Personally, I think "unaligned" will help players create more complex characters without the 16 ton weight of alignment hanging over...

Don't care. I'm just happy that they're taking a bigger step away from Tolkien and coming into their own as a marriage between (imo) two good ideas. Halflings = great, but too Tolkien Kender = great, but too DragonLance "Kendlings/Halflers 4e" = just right

I haven't played a lot of it, but in our game, there haven't been balance issues between rogues & fighters. That said, the feel of the game I was running was much more "medieval," which is to say we didn't do a lot of monster bashing; it was very role-play oriented and the Iron Heroes rules sort...

Sounds good, Quickleaf. Now that you have a basic sketch, my suggestion would be to choose a very, very small locale. It could be a village or a city neighborhood or a frontier settlement. Draw up ONLY that one locale (keeping in mind the sketch you made in your head of your basic idea of the...

QFT. I was looking for another system to more accurately run my homebrew last year and picked up Iron Heroes. I fell in love with it. Then Mearls joined WotC, and suddenly D&D began to run with the same kind of cool "that makes sense" design I'd been craving. Oh yeah, and thanks for...

And I'm cool with that. I don't really see a better way to do it. Sure, your books may be full of errors eventually, but you CAN print the pdf of your 4e book (and that pdf will be updated in time). Recently, a player wanted to be a transmuter. I had to dig through my books trying to remember...

Red box with Elmore art was 10 and up. I know because it was the first one I was actually allowed to OWN, even though I'd been playing it clandestine with my cousin for a couple years before that (the white/blue box first, and then the one with the viking dude & sexy sorceress in the water...

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! :D rofl.
