    D&D 4E New 4e Info! GAMA Tradeshow Scoop

    I can remember back when "choice!" was the Kiwi slang du jour. But then, I'm not only old, I've been a resident alien in the USA for 12 years. Who knows what the cool kids in Godzone are saying these days. Cheers, Cam

    Why does WotC hate Macs?

    Why does WotC hate Macs?

    Clearly, WotC doesn't like Blizzard's approach. Most of the WoW players I know are on Macs. At MWP, we work exclusively on Macs. A significant amount of the design and publishing industry work on Macs. I would be somewhat surprised if WotC's own computer network didn't also have a bunch of...

    D&D 4E 4e, Gleemax, and DDI info from GAMA Trade Show

    I should note that this wasn't my experience at all. My Dragonlance novel's plot was my idea, and while my editor and I went back and forth on various plot details and framing the story within the larger series that it's part of, I think I had a heck of a lot of creative freedom. The quality...

    Gods...

    Right. I have no doubts that there will be human clerics of Moradin and halfling clerics of Corellon. I really don't like the "God of Race X" and prefer the "Race X sees the God as Y." I mean, Bahamut's the premier god of paladins and stuff, much as Paladine was in Dragonlance, when he used to...

    Gods...

    She seems like a borrowed goddess from Celtic mythology, anyway - the Morrigan/Madb/Crone etc. Wee-Jas without the silly name. Cheers, Cam

    Gods...

    So is Bahamut the front half or the back half? Cheers, Cam

    Important! Interview opportunity - what do you want to know about the GSL?

    The fans posting 4e materials thing is also very important, especially for fan sites that hope to post 4e conversions of older materials. If I post a conversion of, say, Dwellers of the Forbidden City online at a Greyhawk fan site, or write some Spelljammer conversions for a SJ site, how is this...

    With any luck, we will revisit Castlemourn at some point with web content. It's not on our immediate schedule, though, sorry! Cheers, Cam

    Will different core settings be geared toward a particular "tier" of play?

    Oh, me too. But it's not exactly the baseline for Dragonlance. I think the setting that is best suited for the 3-tier framework of 4e is Mystara. 4e feels like BECMI to me. Cheers, Cam

    Will different core settings be geared toward a particular "tier" of play?

    It's Dragonlance, Matthew, not Kult. ;) Cheers, Cam

    Will different core settings be geared toward a particular "tier" of play?

    Paladine sacrificed his godhood in order to render Takhisis mortal, so that she could be run through with a dragonlance by Alhana and Porthio's son Silvanoshei in the War of Souls trilogy. But yeah, it's OK. I forget sometimes that folks don't exactly pay attention to DL as much as I do. ;)...

    Will different core settings be geared toward a particular "tier" of play?

    You're a little late to the party. Paladine and Takhisis aren't around any longer. Cheers, Cam

    Will different core settings be geared toward a particular "tier" of play?

    I'll send you your Raistlin Fanboy Club membership package. ;) "Idiot gods of Krynn." That's a first. It makes me think of Azathoth burbling at the corner of the Abyss, spawning kodragons with little panpipes. Cheers, Cam

    Will different core settings be geared toward a particular "tier" of play?

    There's only really ever one epic level character in DL at a time. Fistandantilus was one, but he was defeated, and reduced to a time-traveling meddler. The Kingpriest was one, but the gods dropped a mountain on him. Emperor Ariakas was one, but Raistlin engineered a plan to get rid of him via...

    Will different core settings be geared toward a particular "tier" of play?

    Dragonlance campaigns would be about 65% Heroic and 35% Paragon. I don't imagine many Epic level Dragonlance campaigns, which is in some ways a nod to the fact that Krynn has very few epic-level characters (and in 1st edition, there was even a "heroes over 18th level leave the world" rule.)...

    Defiant Rake Vampire Lord

    It's not explicitly stated in the excerpt, but if you're increasing the creature's level then you'd also increase all the skills, wouldn't you? May need to be clarified eventually! Good work, either way. It's like Lestat! Cheers, Cam

    DMG Excerpt: Customizing Monsters

    It's a Pitch Fiend! Cheers, Cam

    DMG Excerpt: Customizing Monsters

    That's a really elegant set of rules. I especially like the "change level" thing, given how clumsy it used to be to add or remove Hit Dice from creatures in 3.X. Cheers, Cam
