That's awesome news! I hope it comes out soon! edg

I missed any announcements of what has been canned. Do you have a link to that? As to the OP, I am hoping they do something by Oct. 3. No good picture to link, though. edg

I think part of 4E design was to use hit points as the resource it is. So, instead of a hold person, where it's SoSo, it causes psychic damage as it tries to hold the character. Only if they are reduced to 0 hit points are less, are they actually held. What that means, though, is that lots...

That's the other funny thing I noticed. About the time that SoS things happen, it's laughably easy to come back from the dead. When we were playing an epic level campaign and a character died, as long as one other party member survived, they could raise everyone back. No loss of anything...

I really want to know the demographics of all of the people who have responded that "save or sit out" effects are okay. What do you do during that time? Is sitting there listening to others play as fun as playing yourself? How often do you play? How long did you travel to play? As for...

I have been thinking about talking about this for a while. I think the attempt is for the emphasis to be on the action. I also think they are trying to get rid of characters carrying lots of things to sell later by making them worth so little. I don't know for sure what the designers wanted...

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! edg

I would be interested in this as well, if it were to happen. evildmguy @ yahoo . com Thanks! edg

I think what "broke" any edition of DND for me was having players with different goals than me. I have always wanted to tell a story about heroes, heroes that were played by my friends, and what these heroes did on their journey. I wanted to do that in a fantasy background. I wanted to...

I also want to start from the original boxed set. More because, it is fifteen years later and I have a much better idea how to present this to my players and make it palatable to them. I have tons of ideas on how to make it work to adventure with the SKs ruling, rather than having it be all...

When watching Doctor Who, especially recently, I seem to be able to put my brain on hold with regards to the science. I suppose it could have been plasma instead of fire, but any burning creates water and some gas, carbon dioxide? I can't remember. So, to make it oxygen, yeah. But I don't...

I agree with this. I think that's more the point but that's me. As for the episode, I was also hoping for more with Locke and Jacob than this side. However, we do learn that Kate and Jack got together after returning to the main land. We also see the start of Jack losing it, to the first...

Reflex - sequel to Jumper. It has started out well. Various Exalted sourcebooks. Waiting for the new Sookie book by Charlaine Harris. edg

I had a thought and want to share to see what others think. Someone on a board suggested using taint rules and mutations for defiling. What if that was the mechanical disadvantage? (The advantage is metamagic feats for free, maybe higher damage die, whatever is decided.) Then, a defiler...

Now that we all know more about 4E, and my group might do a Dark Sun campaign, I am looking at this again. I am also hoping the rumors of WotC doing Dark Sun are true. In terms of story, I would personally go back to the main boxed set, with no free cities. As I said, I think it would be...

Very interesting article. I thought it was done well! Good ideas, too. I think I might start using them. edg

Ooo. I really like that. And it fits so well with mythology and for DND. The deity gives an angel a quest to do and the angel is literal in its interpretation of it. It can't distinguish. So then, the deity has to make sure the ones they want saved realize it. That would be really cool...

Well, yes and no. The reason many cultures did this is to make their religion more palatable to the conquered. When the Romans conquered the Greeks and said, "Well, that's like us, except it's Jupiter not Zeus" it was so the conquered would feel at home using the Roman gods. What the Romans...

On a different note, what does immortal mean? As much as I like the movies, they have shown how immortals *aren't*. What if immortals were immortals? What if killing one of this type means they will eventually reform? That the essence or being of the creature is still intact? Of course...

I apologize. I didn't explain myself well. I agree that roles are good and defined roles are better. My point was that the computer game simplified it and allowed abilities that work equally well on a monster, regardless of it's type. My hope is that 4E still has the equivalent of DR...
