    Why I like that POL has no map...

    And more importantly, I want my players to have the sense of wonder and mystery that comes with exploring a vague and hazily defined setting, rather than looking at the map in their PHB (or any other official source) and pointing and going "we travel here."

    I've reversed my stance on dragonborn and tieflings

    Klaus, that's fantastic inkwork.

    I've reversed my stance on dragonborn and tieflings

    That was, of course, what I was trying to get at. "I choose you, basilisk!"

    I've reversed my stance on dragonborn and tieflings

    So you're saying that 5E will make Summoner a core class?

    So what didn't you get for 3X?

    Seconded. Mass combat has always been something that I keep wanting to do, but have never been satisfied with suggestions on how to handle it compellingly and with some balance. Stormwrack could/should have been much more. Well, alternatively, I would ideally have made Stormwrack focus a bit...

    Saga Edition: Carrying Concealed

    This. It's a concealed holster as opposed to a hip holster (which is about as unconcealed as you can get). If you conceal a weapon normally, you're stowing it in a boot, or at the small of your back, or in an interior coat pocket, etc. All places that are more inconspicuous because they're not...

    Locations Mentioned in Races & Classes

    Well, most of it is just throw-away examples for things like elf tribe names or a few examples of how eladrin cities shift in and out between the mortal and fey planes, as it were. That's why you didn't notice it as name dropping (a good thing!), and makes it pretty inconsequential and vague to...

    Chainmail Bikinis & other Cheesecake art in the 4th Edition Core Books.

    Either side has to dip into the indifferent to muster 50% (even after excising the "I like Pi" option). That said, both sides are pretty close, though favor has a slight edge and is more heavily weighted to strong than moderate.

    is Dungeons and Dragons still Lame

    As long as we're nitpicking, it's bona fides, which has been mistaken as plural by the English speaking crowd (historically speaking), and thus deformed to bona fide, as you said. :D

    D&D 4E Whither the d12 in 4e?

    Yeah, this is part of the impetus for this post, I suppose. I love my dodecahedrons, and wish I could roll them more.

    D&D 4E Whither the d12 in 4e?

    So, we all know that the poor, beleaguered d12 was largely ignored and shunned in 3.x. Will 4th Edition continue this neglect, or will it make room and find a place for the d12 to shine and proudly roll across our gaming tables once more, rather than be quietly stuffed back into the dice bag at...

    D&D 4E New 4E Products on Amazon

    Am I the only one that seems to recall the suggestion that magic items will grant options in combat and new abilities, rather than simply add numbers to stats? I'm thinking Horns of Fog, Horseshoes of Speed, Medallions of Thoughts, Pipes of Haunting, not Belts of Giant Strength, Flaming Swords...

    R&C Art, the Women of R&C

    The motivation for my vital concern when womens' breasts, thighs, and stomachs are at issue is the preservation of those lovely bits of skin! Protect those beautiful bodies! But then, what good is protecting them if I don't get to see a bit of that skin every now and then? This is really...

    Dungeons, Dragons, and Demographics

    This was something I noticed, too. Coming up on 28, here, started playing with 2e, though that's kind of cheating to say, as I think I played in all of 2 campaigns for about a dozen sessions before 3e kick-started my enthusiasm into high gear. 3e was a great, refreshing change in useability in...

    4th edition's default rate of advancement

    Yeah, TerraDave's memory is consistent with mine, in that they suggested that they're not expanding the time from minimum to maximum level, they're just slicing it into smaller pieces to get more levels. The math he uses to get 8 encounters per level then seems to jive right. However, that's...

    Of gishes and arcane defencers and whatnot: Is 4th ed. language for everyone?

    This is too awesome not to start plotting a character around.

    Just got my Starships of the Galaxy!

    That looks beautiful, on the surface. I'll have to scan through in more detail, but thanks, Donovan!
