I hope 4e will kill spell slots. Dumb and archaic mechanic. I think keeping levels but killing classes (somewhat freeform ability purchase with optional template paths called "classes") would be good too. You could still play a ranger or fighter or whatever, but you could also play something...

All those house rules sound like a lot of work. I know if it was me I'd probably burn out before I finished them. How about a different game system that better fits your idea out of the box. Maybe BESM or Exalted? You should do it though. It sounds fun. Good luck!

It seems like with such a small population per land area, and a Lord of the Rings feel, you have a lot of freedom to allow NPCs to be rugged, powerful, individuals along the lines of Beorn, Tom Bombadil, etc. Who are the rulers of these towns, and how do the settlements reflect their personae...

It is the hard times that bring out our best assets. I wish for you all of the hope and courage that you will need now. I'm very sorry to hear about this and hope that research will continue to improve our understanding and defeat this virus.

Congratulations. I'm glad to hear such happy news as I've heard that it is very difficult to obtain a transplant organ. I hope that everyone that can makes the effort to join the organ donor program with your driver's license.

I did some google search to check for you since I've never tried substitution in the recipe (I'd be afraid to change the ingredient that the soup is named after, plus I really like kale). My first thoughts were collard or mustard greens, but neither of those have the same nice firm texture that...

I wonder if some of the massive predators hinted at in legend have gone extinct from the collapse in the food chain caused by overfishing throughout the last few centuries. Were there amazing things in the deep that we will never know existed?

I think the real gripe I have though is not at the spending and accounting level, but more at the character motivation level. People on the hunt for the easy ride to the good life are a classic staple of fantasy, but we never see a Grey Mouser in D&D.

I believe there was an ancient culture that used to bury preserved corpses of relatives inside the furniture in their houses, and had a much closer relationship with the deceased. I can't remember who it was though. Heck, I might even be remembering it completely wrong, but even if I am I...

I think the characters are going to gain levels faster than they would have in 1e, right? If so, you can either run fewer modules or slow down the rate of XP gain.

The problem I have with money in the D&D economy is that it is basically just a proxy for magical gear. Adventurers aren't typically held accountable for any other significant expenses. As a counter example think of treasure in The Hobbit. There are two major hoards: 1. Smaug's hoard: This...

There was this hack author that wrote a bunch of pulp crap in the rags of his day - pretty much equivalent to the soap operas of today. His name was Charles Dickens. Oh, and then there was that fellow that wrote those terrible hackneyed fraudulent travelogues as was the fad at his time -...

Check out the conversion guide page samples. It lists some spells that were removed. Seeing these samples, the game looks a little different in the fiddly details, but I really don't see how it's $90 better. I think they should have waited longer and done a more drastic update.

Don't forget some fresh grated ginger! Ginger + garlic = heaven. Even before you eat it, just the smell is heaven. Some hot peppers are also good to make it spicy. :) My latest fad is cooking mustard greens with those flavors. Mustard greens have a little bite that works well with that -...

Keri Houlihan, who played Molly on "Our House" with Wilford Brimley was a good high school friend of mine. The 6 degrees of separation chain continues. Can anyone else make more connections? From what I understand Dave Matthews lives in Seattle and sometimes gets groceries at the same...

Do vegans need to keep an eye on their iron intake as well?

In D&D 3+ edition design, rules take precedent over flavor almost every time.
