Look at how the WotC Setting Search played out...everyone and their monkey was encouraged to submit for round 1. Round 2 and round 3 were where the applicants were required to show some real talent, and weeded out any possible ineligible candidates that made it through round 1 on a fluke. I...

Speaking as someone who has never ridden horseback, can you go into more detail about how the write-up falls short? I'm curious... I have a theory that a lot of the apparently lackluster treatment real-world animals get in the Monster Manual was done out of a desire to preserve game balance...

Maybe you're right. We'll see. If the father that the Hatian idolized as a kid dies, in some way due to his own actions, that could explain why he doesn't speak.

Since NBC is running new Heroes comics all summer, I thought it would be fun to start a thread discussing them, and what they might be telling us about next season. First up is a 4-parter, It Takes a Village. The origin of the Hatian. Not much new in the first issue, except that we're...

I see where you're coming from, but I've gotta disagree. The PHB isn't the place to be discussing the elvish cultural identity. This kind of detail belongs in (and is essential to!) campaign setting guides. The PHB needs to be setting-neutral, so that writers of future campaign settings, and...

That would basically be the equivalent of the person who didn't subscribe to Dungeon or Dragon, but picked up the odd issue here and there. You sign up once, and get everything you can grab. Then, periodically sign up again, and grab whatever new stuff has come out since. If the pricing...

Dire boar BBQ, anyone? :p

First off, I've got to say that I really liked Edena's idea about the use of Permanent Magnificent Mansion spells to make Elven cities in the forests a little more plausible. It plays to the idea that elves are capable of grat things because of their affinity for magic (and I justify saying...

And you're ending the campaign THERE?!? ;) OK, yeah, I can see where the PCs-as-godlings can be a little unbalancing to an ongoing campaign. But, roll up new characters in the same world, and let the story continue from there. The world is plunged into darkness with the coming of a demon...

They can't. The OGL is out there, and the OGL itself is Open Source. Once released, they can't get the cat back in the bag. At least, that's the theory. They COULD make a stink about it, and bring in copyright lawyers claiming some loophole, and then it goes to court. But my understanding...

Yeah, pretty much. There are already "d20 alternative" brands out there, you'd probably see more products released under these umbrellas, or without any cohesive "brand" at all. The main benefit of publishing under the d20 license is recognizability, that people know that a d20 book is...

I think the line there was more like, "You know that, don't you, congressman?" She was reinforcing that he had gotten what he wanted, and been put into position, and now it was time for him to live up to his part of The Plan. At least, that's how I intepereted it. (Sorry for the double-post)

As for Bennett coaching Parkman on how to take Sylar down, Bennett HAS shot Sylar, and injured him. When he confronts Sylar in his house, he fires several shots which connect, and put him down, even though they don't actually kill him (or, even incapacitate him to any real extent). Still, in...

I don't want to quote you directly, as it's spoilered text, but as to your comment about a certain turn of phrase used by the characters being highly euphamistic...I actually agree with you. I seem to recall that's the terminology THEY used, not my own. It's really not a HAPPY ending, but it's...

I've been looking forward to this one since I read the book ... ;) I think Nicole Kidman is going to do a great job in her role. I also suspect that, due to the subject matter, you're going to see a s**t storm of controversy from the religious right, unless they're REALLY careful about how...

An observation relating to the Peter-is-dumb-and-should-have-fought-better argument: I think that was one of the points of the 5 Years Gone story: we get to see a competent, kick-ass Peter Petrelli go to town with Future-Hiro. I think that was their way of saying "yeah, we know what this guy...

And we do know that Nathan could fly pretty darn fast when he wanted to...

It still fits in with the "personality shapes your powers" theory. Why didn't Nathan develop a power that could save his wife? Because he's inherently selfish. He developed a power that could save himself. He doesn't LIKE that about hinself, and he's trying to make himself better, but that's...

I thought the same thing when I read it. "For SPARTAAAAAAA!" Um...ahem. I mean... "FOR AZUUUUUURE CITYYYYYYYY!"

I missed it. Spoiler it for me?
