    Michele Carter's Big Playtest Post!

    I think that might be a misreading of the post. I read it as an attempt to distract the reader from the lack of a race with the promise of shiny things. Maybe it's what many people have been angling for as a PC race - full Orc. Other than that, there's always the Duergar or the Svirfneblin (I...

    D&D 4E Peter Schaefer on his 4E Rogue (and a Goblin Ranger!)

    Or he used a (power/ability/manoeuvre/talent) which knocked his foe prone and (either as a result of the crit or by default) dazed him.

    Are we there yet?

    We're nearly there. Only a few more moths to go. Here, have a sweet and listen to your music. Daddy's driving.

    D&D 4E What would make you decide against 4e?

    Simple. If, when I run Keep on the Shadowfell for my group, we don't enjoy it, or at the very least enjoy the game if the adventure design itself is ropy, I don't buy it. If we do enjoy it, I run out and get the three core books and start trying to put together something fun.

    Mock your user name!

    Add me to the list of people whose nicknames are sad and embarrassing enough without further mocking. Mine was created after a couple of years or so of lurking because I needed advice on my (now defunct) campaign called The Oakwood Chronicles...thus, OakwoodDM. Besides, my real name is very...

    "Bait Monsters" and the "Trained Mindset"

    I have to say, I wouldn't be terribly upset, no matter what's left out of MM1. Sure, I'd be surprised if I opened it and found no entry for Goblin, Troll or Tarrasque, but the only thing that'd discomfort me would be if there weren't sufficient interesting monsters available for low-middle...

    The Shared Experience: Keep on the Borderlands

    I started earlyish nineties, and said I hadn't played the keep, because I thought I hadn't. However, reading the thread, I notice mentions of the Caves of Chaos. I played through them, so does that mean that I lied in my answer to the poll?

    D&D 4E What 4E class do you most want to try out?

    I've been a cleric (well, druid really, but they aren't around at the start, it seems) man right from my first ever character, so that's where I'm sticking.

    Have We Seen Half-Orcs Yet?

    Or just: Human Fighter. That way, no rants about how class A is overpowered compared to class B or how race X got the shaft. Everyone's Human, everyone's a Fighter. There's no magic, no gods and no...um...sneaky backstabbery. I think I just fixed DnD!

    Have We Seen Half-Orcs Yet?

    I'd go with: Human Paladin Dwarf Cleric Elf Ranger Halfling Rogue Tiefling Warlock Eladrin Wizard Half-Elf Warlord Half-Orc Fighter Human Paladin's nicely iconic, and it means the (likely) charismatic Warlord is served by the (almost certainly) charismatic Half-Elf.

    Rugby World Cup

    From the sounds of it, it wasn't France getting sloppy, but more France foolishly trying to play the English way that caused the situation that very few people would have predicted before the tourament. I mean, I'm an England fan and, while I was fairly confident we'd get through the group...

    Ecology of the Deathknight up

    Someone may have already mentioned this, but I felt like joining in the 4e conspiracy comments. Has anyone noticed, at the beginning of the article, how there's a description of the Death Knight creation story from the POV of Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Halflings, but no Gnomes? Does this simply...

    OK... that's just vulgar...

    I'm with the "Huh?" brigade on this. Even with all the pointing and shouting about the glow, I can't see a female form. Sure, the eye in the middle could be construed as a part of the female anatomy, but I'd have gone straight over it as just another wibbly sword with eye motif if I hadn't been...

    Cats inside house (2 Cats Dead; 1 Cat Adopted; 1 Raccoon, 1 Possum Relocated)

    Now, I realise things may be different for me because the outside is less dangerous in England than in America (no coyotes, bears, or raccoons, and considerably fewer people with guns) but both the cats we've had have been outside cats, both have been healthy, happy animals, and both have lived...

    Fantasy Hockey 07/08

    Sadly, my wonderful new Broadband provider's procrastinating with the best of them, and the earliest I'm going to be able to be online at home (and therefore able to sign into Yahoo) is the 6th, so looks like I'm out of this one too. Anyway, have fun everyone!

    What is your favorite soup?

    At the very least it exists as far away as England. In fact, it's so well known that thick fog is sometimes called "a real pea souper". We also have Pea & Ham soup, which happens to be one of my favourite varieties.

    Fantasy Hockey 07/08

    Thanks, I will. Sadly, I can't sign into Yahoo at work, and am still waiting for the broadband to be connected at home after a move of house. What's the closing point for joining? We should be connected by the weekend, but you never know...

    Fantasy Hockey 07/08

    I would be interested in trying this, but seeing as I'm from the wrong side of the Atlantic, I have worries along the lines of: I've never participated in something along these lines before. Sure, I've done Fantasy Football (soccer), but it seems somewhat different to this And, I have very...

    Enworld Fantasy Football UK (soccer) '07/08 - Season Starts 11th Aug

    Well, congratulations. Not only did Rosenborg get an unexpected draw at Stamford Bridge, but also delivered the boot with which Abramovich booted Mourinho out of the job. Good result all round!
