    3.5 Backwards compatibility

    No. Jody Butt is a regular poster on rpg.net, and has been for a while. The only difference between there and here is the number of swear words in his post. He's equally vocal in his tirades against the now "old" D&D 3E and d20 in general, so it isn't just 3.5. And, I guarantee you, he won't...

    [OT] Kid, your our only hope...

    Yep, I love the video. But reading posts from (presumably) much older people who are puffing out their chests and bragging about how quickly their ELITE NINJA SKILLZ (tm) would allow them to beat up an 11-12 year old kid who's playing and having fun is nearly as funny. Patrick Y.

    [OT] If you though "lightning bolt!" was funny...

    Ooooohhhhhhhh my God. The original is a bit.... sad, I think, with so many cringe moments. But the remastered one is hilarious, and it takes his best bits. I dunno, somehow the special effects give him a bit of... dignity. The slow-mo of the cape trip is brilliant. "Darth Girth" - that's a...

    Anthony Valterra breaks his silence

    First things first. Congratulations and good luck with your venture. Now. I'll ask a couple common questions to get them out there. They, or some variation of them, have appeared on every thread about your book on every message board I've seen. So: 1) People have been speculating about...

    Author (and artist) of The Book of Erotic Fantasy

    What condescending comments? The only line I can see in there that could be even remotely seen as condescending is the one you quoted, and that's even really reaching. The little interview seems perfectly reasoned and reasonable to me. There's already enough vitriol being thrown around in...

    Fantasy Sex Roleplaying Game Releases October 2003

    Well you're definitely right on point 1. But in regards to point 2: Wuh? 0_o I think your perspective is a bit.... skewed on this one. Personally, I think if they want the book to be seen as a serious take on sexuality in D&D/fantasy, they'd better have a good male to female artwork ratio...

    Are PrC's too powerful?

    Re: too powerful Yes, because anything that lot's of people like is inherently bad... Personally, I subscribe to the idea that lot's of players select them because the idea tickles their fancy and gives them greater playing enjoyment. In general terms, when lots of people want to pursue...

    3.5 vs. Arcana Unearthed: Which One are You More Excited About?

    I'll be buying the revised books when they hit the shelves. The revisions interest me and look like they'll enhance the game. I'll probably flip through Arcana Unearthed at the store. Patrick Y.

    GenCon So. Cal.

    I'll be there for sure. It's where, hopefully, I'll be debuting the Summerlands. We've paid for a table, ad space, and all that sort of stuff. ENworlders are welcome to stop by whenever, and the booth can even be used as a gathering point if you guys end up have some sort of get together...

    Please stop paying full price for rulebooks.

    1) A very large chunk of the time, people that say "it's just too expensive" are really saying "I'm not really that interested". There are very, very, very few adults who can't afford $30 dollars for a book, or even $90 dollars for the core rules combo - rather, they choose not to, because their...

    The ranger is...

    Actually, no. I didn't vote. And it isn't insulting to point out that your little trap poll isn't particularly clever. It is, however, insulting to create a poll who's only purpose is to bring people in so you can tell them they're "wrong", particularly when you start dropping the word...

    Mystic Theurge PrC - They've got to be kidding!

    They deal with it by: a) ignoring most of it. b) cracking open a beer and putting their feet up. c) by remembering that the worst offenders on the WotC site (and in gaming in general) are UNBELIEVABLY ENVIOUS of them and would strangle their own mothers for the chance to do what they do -...

    Mystic Theurge PrC - They've got to be kidding!

    *shrug* Well, I'm definitely not impressed by the level of discussion going on in that thread (which makes it no different from any of the Revision Spotlight discussion threads on the Wizard's board). Page after page of hysterical clucking over the "broken munchiness" of a class which nobody's...

    [FR] Campaign Setting interpretation diatribe

    Re: Re: Re: [FR] Campaign Setting interpretation diatribe I think part of the issue is that there is quite a vocal contingent of FR fans who are quite obsessed with the MVPs of the setting. On various boards and in my own gaming circle, I've seen or known a good sized chunk of people who...
