As an avid AAO player, I have to agree on one very important point: this isn't Quake, Counterstrike or any other FPS you've played before. You must communicate and coordinate with your squad in order to stay alive, much less win. A few points of difference in gameplay: 1. Bunny hopping does...

There's a bigger picture here, IMHO... Sure, WOTC/HASBRO is a corporation and has to bladdy, blah blah. Look, the reason they lay off people is apparent: they want more money. Is it good business to make more money? Yes, no question. Is their decision going to make them more money? In the very...

Well, that would suck if I just missed them. I'm part of the Sidewinder d20 Yahoo group, so I'll ask them what's up. In the meantime, thanks for the info, Knightcrawler.:)

How about it, guys? I know you lot are busy, but do you think you could create a lst. file for Sidewinder Wild West d20 by Citizen Games? I'd do it myself, but I haven't the time or the know-how. And if you can't, maybe someone from the community can help a brother out on this. For those who...

A little thing about the ring and its powers, especially invisibility: the ring could deny these powers at will by simply changing ring sizes. When Isildur took the ring, he was later ambushed by orcs, as read in the book and seen in the movie. In the book, however, he dons the ring when the...

Celebrim, good point. Much of the common perception of current Christians is based on the mixing of various sources and a failure to look at the texts as a whole as opposed to yanking single passages out of the bible and inferring meaning out of them. Kind of like when the baptists told me the...

Here are some interesting little factoids, drawn from the study of Hebrew and Christian theology, for you to consider... The term Satan is not a name, per se. The actual Hebrew term is Ha-Satan, or 'The Adversary.' This, and other theological points too long to go into, implies that being Satan...

Those with reading comprehension skills will also note the use of the word SUGGESTED.

Media hype isn't my main concern either. It's the grassroots, as you put it, but that, too, is influenced by the media. Other than that, what you said is very true, Psion.

For Jester and others who just joined in... Look, you lot, if you can't be bothered to read the 6 pages of posts, then at least read mine so you know what my arguments are and can stop misquoting me. They don't concern Devil/Daemon stats. They don't concern PrCs. They concern rules for selling...

Well, that is what I suggested. I want the book distanced from the D&D brand name. Not censorship, telling you how to run your game or anything else I've been accused of. I just don't want it called D&D for many reasons for which I have already given much argument. I feel that this would be an...

Sorry, Furn, meant to say congressman. A bit busy and distracted over here... Con-did-it? That's funny!

My dear Haashenti, I would never blow smoke up your backside to get you to concede! That would be political and I actually care about this topic!:p Furn! You agree with me on something! The Media will take any subject matter like a pit bull with a bone if it finds it interesting, hence, my...

A little OT, but Hakkenshi, I love the illustrations on your page. nicely done! And something else I thought was funny, considering where we're at, your website has a pop up titled 'Do you know if there is Porn on your computer! LOL! And Tiefling, as you are likely very young or old and...

Kenjib and others have missed the point. Tolkien doesn't describe the corruption in graphic terms. He doesn't say 'to get orcs you sodomize elves and then scoop out their brains and replace them with the blood of a slain innocent.' PrCs. Fine. A ringwraith would have 'wraith powers.' but...

Furn asked what I to do? All I can do: voice my opinion and hope that others will do the same. If an exec of WOTC is reading any of this, I hope that it will at least make him think twice about the release of this product under the D&D label and perhaps convince his bosses of the same. At the...

By the way, Thanks Dr. Midnight! That's the greatest compliment you can give a writer! And, again, Psion hits one out of the park. I want more 'normal' people playing D&D. This kind of publicity only ensures that the vast majority of people you have to play with are going to fit the stereotype.

While I would normally agree with you completely, Furn, I feel that the nature of the book, the silence from WOTC about it, and the few reports given out about the thing are bad news. The things it purports to address in a 'frank and mature' manner alone are enough to turn my stomach. It's not...

My point, exactly, Psion. Regardless of the vile stuff already out (the Green Ronin books for example) the BoVD will have the D&D logo squarely on its cover. This means linking that material to the game in a very definate way. As a personal note, my mother thought D&D was the work of satan...

My Advice: Keep It Simple Storyteller. In my campaign, most of the dungeons are less than a dozen rooms. This includes actual dungeons, caves, buildings, what have you. A massive 30+ room complex, like the one in the back of the PHB, should by rare and dangerous, as the resources needed to...
