Not to pick on you, as I'm well aware that this one line is hardly reflective of the nuance and scope of the rest of your post, but it always amuses me to see TSR held up as the model of RPG publishing for current markets, compared to the "money grubbing", faceless corporations of today. If TSR...

Bleh. That's less cool than it originally looked. Thanks for the confirmation, though, Miko.

No, it's not. Copy/pasted from the OP: The basic attack from the ally is the attack, not the effect. The warlord is not given a damage, the warlord is not given a target defense.. the warlord is told that he gets to do this at will with a standard action, targetting one creature. Not one...

Perhaps (and take this with a grain of salt, as I only dabbled in 2nd Ed., and paid zero attention to "the industry" as I did, so this is kind of constructed after the fact) the hobby is "spoiled" as it were by TSR's complete lack of business sense, that they look fondly back at those days when...

This will be interesting, now.. One of the big things the DI had going for it was that it would release simultaneously with 4e. The VTT is now going to be giving 3rd party applications that cover similar stuff time to get 4e specific tools and aids written in, in order to better compete. In...

This is why I recently went looking for news that the DDI was on-target and on-schedule (and apparently, it's not, *sigh* -- on the other hand, maybe I should go looking for stuff more often, it seems my query provoked a response! Or at least, I can dream of mattering so...) to launch with 4e...

But by encouraging flatter stat choices overall, the people who decide the 18 is worth the investment are more infrequent, and thus they are actually "excelling" rather than just "oh, what did you decide to put your 18 in?"

Likewise. I want the rapier.

Hrm. Interesting observation, and I like it. Ditto the above on "daggers are, by their weight and balance, less cumbersome even to the trained" remarks, as well. I certainly like the proficiency bonuses as means of making smaller weapons attractive and viable, especially in light of seeing all...

Oooh. Longbows are d10's now? Nice.

This here is awesome.

Probably a good observation. So does a faint pulse mean they'll go ahead as planned, with little fanfare? Scrap some or all of the featureset and release as free online supplements (basically, Dungeon and Dragon as online articles, as they've been doing, without the other tools)? Postpone the...

Okay. I was just looking for some confirmation/recent reassurance that it'll be out on time, rather than pushed to Fall or some such. The old demos had me excited enough about the featureset that a lack of new ones doesn't upset me so long as I get to get me feet wet with it (and work it into...

Hrm. Is this an area where no news is good news?

Has anything been heard recently about the Digital Initiative's digital tabletop, character generator stuff, etc.? I admit, I've kind of been averting my eyes where I can from 4th Ed. news, because it's so close that I can either drive myself crazy scrounging for bits of everything, or just try...

Tieflings obviously use stools and benches.

Yeah, forced shifting lends a more environmentally and positionally tactical level to the gameplay. It's a form of defense that we didn't see used much in 3rd ed, since bull rushing was predominantly the realm of the super-strong and the ginormous. It also has the happy side effect of being...

Aha! Excellent. =)

Am I just missing the section of your gallery that houses the Star Wars, or do you have a desperately serious need to patch a hole in your collected works' content?

More tieflings? Seriously, Wizards -- I'm fine with them as core, but I don't need or want them on half my covers. Especially with the ginormous horns. That's just begging to oversaturate my interest and become boring, quick.
