You know why every character seems to have a bag of holding? Because despite how realistic it may be or how much suspension of disbelief it causes or whatever, and no matter how Gary Gygax did it, figuring out encumbrance rules for the amount of coins you're carrying isn't fun for players...

Just out of curiosity, and totally off topic, but how sturdy are the miniatures in the WoW board game? Since the WoW minis game is going to be 40mm scale, I've been thinking more and more about picking this up, but i don't know if the quality of the minis is worth it

It's not, unless they're very very lucky. Although I seem to remember skill challenges were free XP before they were too hard to complete, too. The problem isn't the game, it's people trying find things about it to complain about. Have you seen some of the "look at what customer service said...

Less than you'd think. It makes more strategies viable, and official errata means that opp/orb and the like are still viable. It just means you can't wreck an entire deck with one Icy Manipulator.

Several. The first trick is to spread them out. Consider them weak to AoE spells. So try not to get them hit with AoEs. If the players have to use an attack that targets one or two minions, it's costing them turns. Then use them to flank with other minions or non-minions. Sure, the minion...

I actually have Dingo Appledimple. Silly, silly name, but it's a pretty cool mini for a D&D Halfling, he's got a bedroll and a pot, the kind of things adventurers supposedly carry around but no one actually ever bothers with. First mini I ever got the eyes right on, actually, most of my minis...

I would say at paragon and especially epic gameplay it is MORE appropriate to be felling foes in one hit. Odysseus could kill three men with a single arrow. Django mowed down a village full of bandits, and Tequila Yuen killed hundreds of people without a scratch. This is what 4th edition combat...

Isn't this true of anything you do in the game? I mean, you could say a wizard can cast fireball specifically because of a provision in the rules, not on your own merits. This just doesn't seem like a very good argument to me.

Static Orb got similar treatment: Card text: Players cannot untap more than two permanents during their untap phases. Oracle text: If Static Orb is untapped, players can't untap more than two permanents during their untap steps. So did Howling Mine, FWIW. That rule change basically only...

I wouldn't get too attached to your characters, I hear a lot about TPKs in KotSF already. Making minions tougher, specifically, making them not go down to one hit, means the PCs are going to be vastly outnumbered. If he removed 3 out of every four minions, then you'd be okay, but... then you're...

I don't think they're so much in a different scale as they're subject to scale creep. Kind of the way all the Warhammer 40K minis are the same scale, even though the current ones are about 5mm taller than the first batches.

I don't see how it can't be used in every encounter. It can be used in any encounter, and gives you an action point to use or lose before the end of your next turn. It's useable in every encounter. It's just less useful if you already have an action point to spend. The same way Spider Climb is...

I stopped playing a while ago, but Glare of Subdual, a green/white Opposition. I might pick some of those up myself, just for fun. Green/White control fun. Especially since white has all those creatures with vigilance. But yeah, to keep cards from untapping, you still need winter orb or static...

From a design standpoint, magic items can either unbalance the by being their, or by not being there. The design team decided against magic items making the player characters too powerful, so the characters are reliant on a magic weapon, magic armor, and a necklace. This does mean, of course...

Static Orb and Opposition is a better combination, kind of the classic blue shut down for a while. Of course, their last printings were in 7th edition, so you won't be pulling them from a pack. Then again, Winter Orb is longer out of print.

I would remove the breath weapon from dragons, take out beholders and mind flayers and the like, too. And the undead, no undead.

Being that I'm not a lawyer, and have no interest in publishing under the GSL, I have no idea how relevant my interpretation is, but, doesn't the GSL state that you can enter into contracts with other GSL publishers to use their content? And it only specifically excluded the OGL as a useable...

I'd have thought yes.
