I wasn't aware that this was news.

Not understanding what the players want is probably the worst and most common. I just quit a game and took a few other players. (I should probably tell the DM I'm done, but anyways...) I showed up to my first game a few games ago. 2 guys are older and like to RP. 2 guys are annoying. Everyone...

Family had a post in one of the threads that covered them all using Terminators. I hope someone can find that. It was hilarious and ridiculously accurate.

I don't honestly see this coming up. Over the normal course of play, after months and months, maybe even years, I can't see someone saying, "Hahaha! Now I can do infinite damage to Orcus and kill him!" Besides, the reality is that, if you're going up against Orcus, he knows you're coming, and...

You're talking about what level by this point? Against enemies with what outlandish abilities and ridiculously high AC? The Wisdom-focused Ranger then throws STR against their AC? You're using an action point, encounter and a daily to do it? Where's the problem? Seriously. It doesn't seem like...

I got a call earlier where my friend asked if I knew that 4E was coming out. I told him that I'd known for months and preordered on February 8th. "Have you downloaded them?" "No." "Uh. Really? I was looking at them, and it definitely seems like it would be fun to try again." "Yep. I've got them...

Seriously. Does it really matter? It's not our world. It makes sense that their world would have a lot more people able to do a much better job for a lot less. Boom. Done. Nothing special. This is the sort of rules lawyer crap that detracts from the game. Player who just wants to have fun- "I...

There are more people with 25 to spend than there are 50 to spend. If someone could afford the Full Plate, they might get it. But there may only be 20 people in an area with enough "extra" cash to get it, while there are 500 with enough "extra" cash to get the Leather. Besides, heroes are...

Here's something that I came up with a few months ago. I haven't cleaned it up at all, but it might have some ideas that you can tweak. Everyone is "human". As an Exalt, though, you gain the abilities of a race and a class, even though you don't look like the race. This is what distinguishes you...

When it comes to minions, I plan to allow the PCs to do anything that they want to do, up to killing the minion. They attack normally. They hit. They could decide to do anything from knock unconscious to interrogate to cutting off the head. I don't see why this should really be an issue. If the...

For the record, legality and morality are not the same thing. Laws can have no basis in right or wrong. The are immoral laws. There have been people in history who have done the right thing, even though it was illegal. You can say that downloading the PDFs is illegal, but you can't say that it's...

When it comes to residuum, I like the idea of using it as pure magical energy. I always tried to get the same thing done in Eberron games. You get a special sort of gem. As you drain off a magical item, the gem changes colors and intensity. When you use it later for something, it dulls again...

But.... David Bowie! Ridiculous?! I'll agree. I do like Halflings on Dinosaurs. But it's my understanding that Halflings are a little bigger and less ridiculous in this edition. I have a German Shepherd, and there's no way anything could ride him for more than a few minutes before he would get...

If I understand correctly, the weakest uses a Surge and only gives you 10 points, no bonus from the Surge. The reason that you would use this is that it allows you to heal in combat without using your Second Wind.

Yep. It goes up with Tiers, Paths/Destinies and Feaths. But it's still just once per encounter.

I enjoyed it at the very beginning, but my enthusiasm waned as time went on. These last few years, though, I really started to like a lot of the new stuff. The Tome of Magic, Tome of Battle, Magic of Incarnum. Those are some of my favorite books. They also happen to include a lot of the ideas...

This constant notion that 4E isn't "True D&D" is retarded. It doesn't make any sense. Most people don't care about a lot of the changes. They don't care that some things (not that I can actually name them) have been "stripped". I already have 5 brand new people who are going to get involved...

Then how does a group of 5 Epic people exist at the same time and just happen to find each other? I know that there's a lot more to it than that, but that's what your math doesn't take into account.

I'm a teacher. I've mentioned that I play D&D. One of my students was reading Salvatore and talking about how much he liked it. I pointed out that it was a D&D book. In a short amount of time, I talked him into playing 4E when it comes out. I've even run a little bit before school for him and...
