    EN World Presents (Episode 1 / Pilot Episode)

    Good Lord, Matt is ... young. Extremely young. Extraordinarily young. Sigh. I suppose that's a good thing. At least he'll be able to communicate with everyone.;) Good first effort. I chuckled all the way.

    Non-North American Gamers who want to buy the 1e reprints, sound off!

    See ... it's just not right that Morrus, of all of us, can't just toddle over to his FLGS and pick up as many sets as he wants.

    Non-North American Gamers who want to buy the 1e reprints, sound off!

    I know at least 5 people who live outside the CONUS, will absolutely want these books ... but will never post here or anywhere else. Frustrating, really. But, here I am, posting on their behalf. Where are they? Australia, Far East, Near East and Russia. If that helps.

    Operation: Power Level Gary

    Getting close. I can feel it. Any XP now ... EDIT: Good. Finally made the grade, again.

    What is the typical party size in practice?

    Outside of a special gathering, I don't believe I've ever run or seen run any session with more than 9 players. The average for me has been 4 players. I don't expect that I'm typical.

    D&D 5E (2014) Reflections on 5E -- Hopeful but uncertain

    That I'm not very different from you, William. My biggest issue was my professional life. In the past 10 years, it has become very stressful and it fills up most moments. In truth, some part of me is always thinking about some part of my work. And this is what split me away from D&D...

    AD&D 1E My clever theory: why 1e AD&D is being reprinted

    Hmm. Let's think about human nature for a minute. Someone tries something that you like. You would like to see more of this behavior. What should you do to incentivize them? To get the desired behavior to continue? This is not a test. And everyone reading this already knows the answer.:)

    AD&D 1E My clever theory: why 1e AD&D is being reprinted

    If I have learned anything after 40+ years in my own, rather technical profession, it is just this. Technology is wonderful. Science is fascinating. But people ... people matter. To get anything meaningful done, you need people -- often, lots of them. And the only way to pull them together...

    Mike Mearls Answers Questions About "Dungeons and Dragons Next"

    A core game that's "very basic." And then "add-ons." I can live with that.

    D&D lovers who hate Vancian magic

    This may be one of the most interesting Threads I've read on ENWorld in years. Fairly minimal snarkiness, not too much anger or posting against individuals, very high intellectual content. I'm getting a window into very different D&D games ... games I've not seen. And I'm seeing some...

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    I think it's appropriate. There's a lot of discussion of "balance" right now.;)

    D&D 5E (2014) No ascending bonuses: A mathematical framework for 5e

    It's going to be awhile before I can give you XP ... although this Thread seems to have attracted plenty for you. Sound thinking. I hope the designers are reading this.

    Core Classes: What and how many

    I'm out of XPs today. So I'll just say that this would work for me.

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    Oh ... don't misunderstand me. You have every right to ask how much is going to the Gygax Memorial Fund. Not a thing wrong with that. It doesn't lob a single drop of rain on my little parade.

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    While I can't speak for any other old-schoolers, for me this is purely an emotional response. So much water has passed under the bridge since I first sat down to play this odd, new sort-of wargame. So many changes, so many editions ... and the passing of the founder. I guess it's like getting...

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    I reject the cynicism. Completely. Absolutely. I'm pleased they did this ... period.

    I'm pathetically glad to see you so excited.:D

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    Although I've still got my ancient originals ... I'm going to buy this set, anyway. A little nostalgia never hurt.

    D&D 4E How Are You Preparing to End Your 4E Campaign?

    I just couldn't resist. I also signed up. Just not sure how much time I'm really going to have to participate.:eek:

    D&D 4E How Are You Preparing to End Your 4E Campaign?

    I have never had any luck when switching editions within a game or a campaign. I've learned to keep games/campaigns begun during an Edition within that Edition. That said, I don't see why any 4e-lover wouldn't feel completely comfortable beginning a new game today!
