    Queen of the Succubi

    Regrettably, yes. I have not picked up any 4e products and am just back from a 3.5 year excursion into WoW during which I basically ignored most everything else.

    What would you play?

    People would have to talk long and hard before I was a player in 4e, but I would readily be a player in any of the others.

    Why? Please forgive my lack of 4e knowledge.

    Question for the Old Schoolers

    Overall: 1 -- The Forgotten Realms in AD&D 1e... I had read Ed's many articles in Dragon magazine and had enjoyed them all. All About Elminster was a bit over the top, but all DMs have their personal characters. Despite the large number of typographical and grammar errors, hideous tendency to...

    Hardest Spider in the World

    I hope that spell never gets a live-action version that asks people to act out using the material components, because nobody is ever going to get me to eat a spider, not even on Survivor Man or Dual Survivor. Forget it.

    Best Era of Dark Sun?

    I have both the first and second boxed sets. The first boxed set just reads far better to me. It reveals a tough and mysterious place. There was plenty of elbow room to do what I wanted. The second boxed set reads as if I had owned and read all previous products and novels; except I only had...

    Three economies of D&D

    Maybe the phrase is mechanical paradigm?

    Hardest Spider in the World

    :( I am also now fleeing in terror.

    Planescape

    Planescape was based heavily in the world's mythologies.

    Hardest Spider in the World

    When I read the topic title, the idea of a Diamond Spider immediately leapt to mind. When I read over the actual original post, I was thinking, "I hope any aliens stopping by to visit Terra don't treat us the same way and glue our parts together to see what happens."

    Bury Elminster Deep (Sample chapter)

    We will take that time machine sitting on the right to go back and make Tolkien avoid ripping off centuries of western material regarding wizards, dwarves, medieval warfare, the journey of the hero, etc. Oh, wait. Then we wouldn't have Middle Earth. I smash the time machine. There is a Dragon...

    Things you find on the road?

    A speed-limit sign that has been knocked down. Instead of a number, it shows the symbol for infinity.

    Best D&D Adventures

    Queen of the Spiders (G1-3, D1-3, Q1; and as far as I am concerned, we must include A1-4 The Scourge of the Slave Lords, and you could possibly include T1-4 Temple of Elemental Evil in there somewhere as well) B2, Keep on the Borderlands X1, Isle of Dread H4, Throne of Bloodstone Return to the...

    Order gone overboard

    Singapore. You can get caned for spitting gum on the sidewalk. It depends on what kind of Fantasy setting. For some, paperwork won't be an option. In those, you'll either be of the right caste/social-strata to have rights X, Y, and Z, or you won't, and outsiders have no rights at all...

    Tool for mapping a city wanted

    My figures assumed a medieval city and the public spaces, which is why each person wouldn't get the full 20 sq m. You could give it more or less than 1 sq km, but not 25 sq km; it would be well-populated farmland at that point. Most people today in first world countries have a tremendous...

    Tool for mapping a city wanted

    50,000 people / 25 sq km = 2000 people / sq km That is 500 sq m per person (5,381.95521 sq ft). I would normally think 50,000 would fit into one sq km (or less) for about 20 sq m per person. Actually, most will have much less than that. Whole families fit into single rooms in those days (and...
