If Disney were/will buy Hasbro, it'll probably do what it's done for the other major acquisitions of Marvel, Pixar, and now Lucasfilm. Make it a subsidiary, who reports up the chain, eliminate some job duplication, put some money behind it to help things progress in development, but mostly...

If the PC's are being targeted by a specific group/baddie, have a few early battles that target the fighter normally. After those battles, have the enemy adapt and change things up. Traps, ambushes, area effect magic. They want the PC dead, or captured, so they have to adjust to do so. As...

Perhaps a clarification on a Per Level or at a specific level would help some. I voted 10,(or less) but it's based roughly on a level 5 caster. 4 being too few, but 10 probably being the max. If you're talking as a class as a whole, then perhaps stating that at level 20 how many spell slots...

As much as I really want to see the Thrawn series played out on Film, I realize that there would be a time issue, unless they recast the actors. From everything I've now read, it's unlikely that the new films will be the Thrawn Trilogy. In fact it looks like Lucas wrote the initial...

If the PC's are going against Celetials, you could do a similar tact in what the novels did fighting Aboleth. It took several attempts, each one weakening her(it) along the way. And it took users of both sides of the Force to stop her, in theory killing her, but even then they aren't sure...

Thrawn Trilogy please. Edit: Oh, and since Disney owns Marvel, and Dark Horse publishes Star Wars comics... I wonder what'll happen there... and maybe, just maybe we'll get some new Star Wars Flight games in the vein of the original X-Wing and Tie Fighter games.

Kinda like max base weapon damage, plus a roll of normal damage in addition. What about another option of max damage, plus the difference of the AC vs. roll result? A bit of math involved. If the target's AC is 15, the difference is already 5 hp, plus the attack bonus you use, say +5 (class...

You could take a few ideas for these Celestials from the Stargate 'Ancients'.. Potentially similar in nature. Both have ascended to a higher form of being. The Celestials have become one with the Force, and while they watch from 'there', they are tasked with not interfering. Although there...

Don't roll a 1...

4th ed. is pretty much a matured game system at this point. With 5th ed. in playtest, other than a few minor articles, or Dungeon adventures, it's pretty much done for support I believe. The nice thing for adherents of 4th ed. is that hopefully the DDI character builder and monster builder...

Most D&D systems utilize the idea that average ability scores are either 9 or 10 depending on edition. I think we can ignore the idea of rolling for NPC stats, most people in the world would fall into the NPC category. Thus the SuperHumans, and Mutants are the PC's or Villains (BBEG's) and...

An interesting bit from PBS Idea Channel on DND and Social Interactions. Can Dungeons & Dragons Make You A Confident & Successful Person? | Idea Channel | PBS - YouTube The Idea Channel on YouTube have quite a few interesting shorts, that I'm just discovering thanks to an article on Kotaku...

If was offline for me this morning. Eastern time. At the very least it wasn't connecting for some reason.. perhaps it's one of the reasons an urgent request for a website/sysadmin has been posted to the main page a few days ago...

So, when you get knocked below 0 hitpoints you lose an article of clothing.. And can spend an additional article of clothing to immediately get back up with a number of hitpoints...

I think the current playtest rules of +2 to one stat, and +1 to all others is a bit of over compensation compared to the sub-races. I think I'd be happy with a +2 to one stat, +1 to another, and an extra specialty. As noted elsewhere, backgrounds are more for what is your day to day...

I think the system mechanics should be system neutral, but, the books should use either a Greyhawk Lite, or FR Lite as examples. I doubt they'll launch some fourth setting book at the same time as the core rulebooks, so they'll need something to help new players get a feel and have a lite world...

For Vancian casters, I wouldn't mind an option to prepare spells at a higher level slot (not sure how high) which enables multiple uses per day, or simply per encounter, all at the same effects as the lower prepared slot. Perhaps with an option to overcharge it and burn it as a full daily at...

This would/will work for some. I like it as a form of Psionic's light. But I feel like it could lack the full depth that proper Psionic classes could bring to the table. Although I'm not 100% certain I like the Monk being tied to Psychic Warrior and Soul Knives.. Those could almost be...

Perhaps I was reading too much into the writer's intent in the article. Although I agree with much of what is written for me personally. It probably helps that I started with 2ed, and that framework/style colours my personal choices when it comes to gaming, even as I DM 4th. So far my...

Raymond E. Feist has several versions of elves, which while similar, differ in some respects to most other described elves when I read his novels. DND based, but with his own adjustment, especially with some of his more recent books. Due to the Rift Magic, and the past history of Midkemia...
