I don't know if it is legit, but surely he is not so friendly and familiar with WOTC... :)

The problem is when a character talks to another (in-game) about something that is measured by rules in "distance thingies". For example, Cleric: "Stay 3 m from me to be protected by my spell!" instead of "Stay 2 squares from me to be protected by my spell!" :eek: In Italy saying 2 squares or...

In italian 4E handbooks we have squares of 1,5m*1,5m. Feet are impossible thing to imagine for italians.

The poll is not clear because I do not know if it is intended "Features that you absolutely want" or "Features that you do not mind if there are" or "Features that you want, even in optional modules, not necessarily in the basic game". "Features for D&D Next" is quite generic. I voted "Features...

I think that male vs female records in almost every sport in which strenght is involved can work as scientific evidence. So said, I think that in a game where a fighter can fall for 20 feets and then clean his/her shirt, we can also have women with the same great strength of men. To not speak...

I wish planes were for epic characters (maybe high paragon), and not for heroic or low-paragon. In 4E often there were plane-adventures even at low levels. But I think that so doing planes become "already seen" too soon. There is a lot on the other side of the mountains, before going off-plane...

Classes have a big pro: you know what you are. When you play in a rpg where you buy skill points even for combat or magic skills, you can create every possible character you want. But, you are undefined. You are good at swinging swords, ok, you can also do some magic tricks, well. But what do...

I would like to read about dragons, rided dragons, dragon highlords, dragon orbs, and... yes you understood... dragonlances! Dragonlance setting apart, I would like to read more about knights, peasants, castles and medieval lore. I think that D&D has got to be too much fantastic in last years...

Always winning is not boring for me, because there are a lot of ways of winning. Winning with golden and paragon style is preferable for someones instead of winning with ruthless cruelty... and there are a lot of other styles of winning. For what players' awareness of invincibility matters, it...

I prefer a novel-kind game as DM, in which player characters are heroes, and heroes win at the last. I can tolerate a death, if heroish, like Sturm Brightblade's one, if it is part of the story, otherwise they always win combats. I don't care about realism, about chances of failure because it is...

Oh yes, microselling would be fantastic! "Ehy Joe, I just buyed the elf rules, I found it at 2 $, great!"

I don't know if tablets will replace books in every situation, but I think that roleplaying can use a lot the tablet/ebook spread. Hyperlinking rules and softwares would improve game efficiency at table. Linking to bigger screens would be a nice thing for images, sheets, or (why not?) virtual...

I think that original language for a book or a written product is always preferable to translations. But there is a major problem: when we play, we speak italian and it is very nerdy to say something like "Ok, adesso lancio una fireball verso la porta sperando di colpire i 4 orchi minions"...

In Italy we had the same situation. Almost every book was translated in italian by MM25, then in the middle of Essential pubblication they closed the line D&D. The reasons? Few sales in the last months, but since beginning of 4E, the english-only DDI (not possible to translate by contract) did...

It says that flying one character take a walk, run or charge action, but uses fly speed instead of walking speed. We can call the (normal) speed "walking speed". An armor imposes a penalty to its wearer's speed. But it does not use the term "walking speed". Speed (as a definition) is distance in...

Your proposal is very agreeable. In fact you propose few options at first levels, not few rules. The fact is that Cook proposed a rule system complexity based on level, and not just options amount like you. Anyway, I hope D&D R&D will not get along this bad idea of him.

I think that Analysing Cook's proposal we should forget about 4E. I think he is talking about a game in which a wizard at 1st level has a choice of about ten spells, in which a fighter can only swing the sword (or axe... forget polearms), in which rogues can not backstab until 3rd level... and...

Knowing about the Singing Chasm the PCs were thinking to use it to exit from the Gate Pass, instead to prevent it to be used by Shealis. Better, they would do both things. But this would mess up all the next adventure (Fire Forest), because I imagine it would take them to Shahalesti nation...

A not very important question: who did kill Peppin Tallman? I think it is not important for characters, but for me DM it is useful to have the answer in mind.

Understood. So is it good to go through pc mistrust, even letting single npcs, like Torrent, help the party here and there, to let pc think that they are not alone against the Empire. I have to read all the adventures yet, but your answer bringed me some clearness. Maybe I'll skip the encounter...
