no. i don't really care for the material they're made of, nor the paint jobs, and i don't care for random assortments. that combined with the fact that the folks i game with don't really care for using minis has meant me not buying any. although, if said folks were to somehow become interested...

as a pc, the group i was in had to deal with at one point. there was a riot at the docks and we were stuck in the middle. after quite some time had passed, with us getting nowhere, i finally just started stabbing. (which is quick way to go from a chaotic neutral rogue with a somewhat heroic...

it seems quite interesting and it would be great if 1) it was a decent seller and 2) it drew more interest in d&d from folks who aren't typical gamers.

i actually think that 'robot' is, in many ways, a fitting term for the warforged. especially given the etymology of the word. then again, when i think 'robot' i don't necessarily think 'OMG SPACE RAY GUNS AND ROBOT DESTROYER SAUCERS! MACROSS! MACROSSSSS! R2D2!'

i just got my copy, yesterday, and i'm pretty happy with it. i haven't had time to finish reading it all the way through, but i've liked what i've read so far. my only small gripe would be that the artwork is really inconsistent in style, with some illustrations looking ludicrously akin to some...

the majority of pcs that i have played have been openly queer, but it hasn't usually been much of an issue in game. except for one time when a pc of mine had a long romantic history with a recurring villain, and that history added depth to the encounters with the villain and definitely effected...

all the time, actually. as a dm and player that frequently plays in the forgotten realms, i find all of the earlier edition fr stuff to be quite useful.

in my group, we've often used 'stone eater' and 'rockbiter' for dwarves.

ah, gotcha. personally, i didn't think it was any sort of conspiracy so much as cleaning out the proverbial closet. edit! also, the eberron articles are *not* back. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/archeb/ds

nope. for example- http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/archfr/frbk nothing but empty space. at least some the articles still exist, since i've been able to find some by searching, but so far the archives are still pretty much empty.

18 poster maps?! that's insane and i must buy this!

ha! i should have expected as much. allow me to be more clear, if i may, and state that i specifically mean for 3/3.5 edition.

what are some of the best boxed sets to come out in the past few years? (and, good gods, do i miss those old forgotten realms boxed sets!)

no poster maps? that's a bit disappointing, but i think i'll be getting it anyway as it sounds quite nice.

i'll second the candlekeep rec. the scribes over there are friendly, knowledgeable, and quite helpful. in fact, it's the only other gaming messageboard i regularly read.

clearly, if you think nine months notice is 'being blindsided,' you and i have vastly different definitions of the term.

has it been confirmed that this is how it's being done? i'd heard froma few people that the plan was to be consistent with the realms and eberron while doing one other setting per year.

i'll give it a shot.

is this official?

erm, okay. i never said i wouldn't buy or support a 4.5 so your snarkiness is unwarranted. i simply said that, whatever and whenever the next edition may be that they simply call it 'fifth edition.'
