You can have your humans, so long as others can play awakened animals, emancipated undead, merfolk, and fey. I once played a human cleric for over 4 years, taking him to level 19 (1e). Then I realized "What am I doing?? I AM a human! Why would I want to pretend to be one, also?" ;) EDIT: In my...

As a DM of over 30 years, I am quite comfortable with the D&D mindset. Since I run my game in a chat room, I find that the proliferation of die rolls on the screen ruins any sense of willing suspension of disbelief, so I try to keep it to a minimum. We'll have a combat every 2-3 sessions and...

I was simply saying that: sound like those "famous last words" one always hears about. For example, the creators of the iSmell and their list of beta testers probably felt the same way about their product. Levity... jocularity... I, for one would love to see a 3D printer than can print...

Absolutely. I tell prospective players that "PCs must have a natural swim speed and the ability to breathe underwater without the use of magic". Awakened cuttle fish? Fine. Emancipated lacedon? Fine. Stock human. Nope. And of course a DM is subject to bribery.. Corona or Fire Rock Pale Ale...

I would say just the opposite. It appears the DM must treat potential players like children. "In this Harry Potter game you may not use your Star Wars action figures" is really no different than: "In this game, only supplements pertaining to the World of Greyhawk will be allowed. Also...

and now MakerBot Playsets: Fairytale Castle

I don't know if a squatter bought the domain and stuck a boilerplate template there, but it's definitely different.. Alluria Publishing

Apple's education-focused media event on Thursday will supposedly include iBook support for EPUB 3 documents, as well as options for self-publishing. Envision a rulebook with built-in media support; videos to display combat maneuvers, audio to describe monster languages, etc.

Of course, that's what they said about the DigiScents iSmell : I'm fairly certain it was the prospect of receiving e-mail spam that smelled like actual smell that sank the iSmell. ;)

I saw this one, the other day - cubify : A website for the new Cube 3D printer. It's a bit more expensive than the others, but it seems to be a more put together. Still how many miniatures or dungeon walls does one have to print, to break even? ;)

Captain Calamari's video series "How to Speak Mock Ixitxachitl in Three Easy Steps"?

So long as I can play Thistle, an awakened "classless" bunny rabbit, in the same game as Glaucus, a spellstitched swarm-shifter dread necromancer emancipated spawn half-scrag sea kin lacedon with aboleth grafts, I'm set. ;)

Try being a fan of the World of Greyhawk setting, sometime. Some 1e GH fans dislike everything that followed, some 3e fans dislike changes made in 2e, some accept novels as canon while others do not. And don't even get started on gunpowder.;) As a DM who prefers a combat-light and...

Call it quibbling, but 3e fans will feel slighted, if 4e fans find the edition to their liking, and vice versa. 5e needs to be something new, universally baffling to players of all prior editions, but with hints of what makes D&D feel like D&D. Then, release a quick-start guide in a "read me...

There's a "natural 20" joke in there, somewhere, but I'm not going to be the first.

Yes, but in 5e paladin rhymes with Aladdin. ;)

Something original... like vampires and werewolves ;) How about with 5e, Monster Manuals are organized by challenge level. MM1 would cover an assortment of level 1-5 beasties... so the cover should be kobolds, skeletons, and the like.

Video is far better than podcasts... listening to people talk puts me right to sleep. Looking forward to EN World Sock Puppet Theater!

Mind you, I do not play 4e, but I did look at the first 3 books. When 4e was announced, they discussed issues like the succubus/erinyes by saying they did not want overlapping or duplicate creatures. That sort of thinking needs not to be used with 5e. I will decide which creatures work best in...

A spellstitched swarm-shifter dread necromancer emancipated spawn half-scrag sea kin lacedon with aboleth grafts. (edit: If told it was going to be an evil campaign, I would decline.)
