Controller I really like your concept, Phasics, and I think it exemplary of truly excellent design. The definition of a controller from the Races and Classes book: A character who specializes in locking down multiple foes at once, usually at range. This involves inflicting damage or hindering...

Our houserules were so significant and fleshed out, we had our own powerpoint slideshow with art, and we called it 2.5 Edition. No kidding.

I'm still trying to reconcile the POL setting guidelines and the FR, where I have held the majority of my campaigns in the past 20 years of gaming. By my estimates the known FR world holds about 65,000,000 population (from 3E setting sourcebooks). In some respects, it sounds like POL: There...

Eight Core Races I believe: Elf: +2 Dex, +2 Wis Eladrin: +2 Dex, +2 Int Halfling: +2 Dex, +2 Cha Human: +2 Str, or +2 your choice (Dex, Con), and +2 your choice (Int, Wis Cha) Tiefling: +2 Con, +2 Cha Dwarf: +2 Con, +2 Wis Dragonborn: +2 Str Surprise (I'm guessing they've still got one...

Champions I'm familiar with, and always enjoyed, the Champions game system which allowed the melee fighters a wide variety of choices each round. You could punch, do a haymaker (big windup hit for a bunch of extra damage, sacrifice defense), throw, grapple, abort your offensive action to...

For me (writing): Frank Mentzer - the red box - you started it all Gary Gygax - AD&D - captured my imagination Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis - Dragonlance Ed Greenwood - Forgotten Realms Skip Williams, Jonathan Tweet, Monte Cook - 3rd Edition

I'm very excited by the prospect of the kindle. I love the idea of reading my weekly and monthly news magazines, as well as the dail paper, on this device. The first thing I thought of was reading my Dungeon and Dragon magazines on them. I'm not really concerned by DRM at all, although having...

Amazon Kindle http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000FI73MA/ref=pd_sl_aw_manual-1_kindle1_40650458_3 Very interesting article in this week's Newsweek about the Amazon Kindle, and I couldn't help but picture myself getting one of these ASAP if I found out that Dragon and Dungeon could be...

Centaur I'd love to see these done well. My list would also include Winged Folk, Cat or lion men, and something like the Jedi.

Weis and Hickman deserve to be on the pre-Monte list. They were able to come up with a big idea that changed the landscape of gaming and translate it to a long-term solo career. I'm also tempted to say Peter Adkinson evan though all his influence was indirect to the game. So, I'd say: Gary...

Mearls would be the "favorite" money based on the resume. I wouldn't rule out Noonan or Baker, though. I also wouldn't be surprised to see someone come out of the woodwork on this.

Ed Greeenwood (officially started at the end of 1st Ed, but I'd still say he had biggest individual impact on the TRPG landscape from 1988 - 1994)

It definitely sounds like that will be a showstopper, unless they don't mind my saying that I plan to run these in, oh, about 2020? :p What about the quality of the modules? Nobody's mentioned that. It's funny that in all these years, I've never really heard anyone say, "Best module of all...

Great advice guys. Thank you! I am an RPGA member and I am a Herald level DM. I've played in RPGA events but I,ve never logged into 'The RPGA'. Where would that be? The challenge I will have is that I am not running a regular event as that is not my priority right now (two young kids)...

So, I've got the wizards D&D homepage saved as a favorite, now that with 4E news, and Dungeon, Dragon magazine coming I find myself trolling for info. Today I noticed that WoTC indicated they posted three new modules under the RPGA banner. I went, and saw that I could download dozens of...

Champions 4th Edition Battletech Top Secret Spycraft D&D 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3.5 Edition Dangerous Journeys Rolemaster

High Adventure according to Google is things like bear-viewing, shark-swimming, hangliding, and bungee jumping. You could pull this off for high level, right? My players have enjoyed taking the mantle of leadership in the region, as well as guilds that have played a key role in the campaign...

Things I'd love to do in the realms reboot... Ok, the dieties are tremendously out of control. There are books upon books, and they were not all fully covered, nor were all the dieties from regions outside the core world explored. Yikes. I like the idea of how they've split up the maps into...

How I feel about PC's that should or must rest after a couple of encounters is that this can be distracting from the versimilitude of the game I want to run. Another poster on the thread talked about "resting" because of how physically and mentally taxing this type of work could be. I like...
