    The Battlemind is out on the CB

    You might have noticed that there was a CB update today, which included the Battlemind. It is not fully out on compendium yet (last I checked only the feats and PPs were out).

    Water Puzzle

    Hmm how about making it a bit more evil? They reach a point with three rooms; one has the central controls and the other has a single valve each. There is an inscription suggesting that they open them all concurrently, so likely they will split in the three rooms. THen when they do so, the rooms...

    What are shadow powers called?

    I wanted Mysteries and Devotions myself:( But yeah they are Hexes, if you have DDI check the assasin.

    Dark Sun Previews Start February

    Why all the negativity? They really seem to be willing to adapt the rules to the setting this time. The few attempts at Dark Sun during 3E were crap mainly because they were trying to shoehorn things that simply did not fit. This time they went straight ahead and said they plan to have weak...

    Feat Tax and Why It Harms the System

    Hmm attack bonuses present with diminishing returns you know. A +1 to attack is not +5% to hit. It really depends on what number you hit before getting it. For instance +1 to hit when you hit on a roll of 8 or higher is exactly as valuable as +2 to hit when you hit on a roll of 16 or higher...

    Best Undersea Supplements?

    The Sea of Fallen Stars was essentially an entire underwater campaign set in the eponymous region in FR during AD&D period. While ruleswise it was weak, it certainly has a lot of material for inspiration on the societies of underwater races.

    The Next Innovation in Gaming

    Imo it would be the next step in toolset supported modular CRPGs. NWN was like that, DA:O is like that, and a lot of hard work from people made even BG and IWD like that. Now imagine such a game were generating user content is actually simple and has a functional multiplayer (with a relatively...

    Campaign Standards: Slavery yea or nay?

    Ah slavery. Sometimes I think the only reason I feel we abolished it is that maintaining slaves is actually more expensive than actually paying the workforce. In my campaign there is a lot of slavery and not only in evil societies. I have an enlightened theocracy that maintains a massive slave...

    Did your very first character die or level up?

    My Erzel became a 2nd level druid killing Norkers. I'm still fond of them:)

    Epic 4e play: the system makes it too easy for PCs to hit, instead of too hard.

    Well it is possible to always have a couple of effects that change hit chance if your party has so many leaders, right? We are talking about a cleric, a bard/rogue, a warlord/fighter and a paladin. Cleric is a leader, bard/rogue is a leader+striker with several debuff powers, warlord/fighter is...

    Elemental Power Source

    I really don't see the primal=feywild angle. If anything primal=World. Honestly the game never had a good elementalist to begin with. The one in Tome of Magic in AD&D simply had a weird spell list that tried to be elemental, 3E never managed to separate elements from energy too. Monte's Arcana...

    DnD on Microsoft Surface Update

    Bad comparison really. The early adopter price applies to Microsoft Surface, not whatever software would run D&D on it. And Microsoft Surface has a far broader potential than serving as a battlemat as you yourself said. You should be comparing people who watch TV with people who may be...

    WotC Layoffs - Rob Heinsoo, Logan Bonner, and Chris Sims

    I am curious, academically speaking, of how layoffs affect this type of business. In many industries layoffs are part of restructuring and downsizing costs, and are done often so you can fudge your numbers for the shareholders. But even more so than other types of business, creative business...

    WotC Layoffs - Rob Heinsoo, Logan Bonner, and Chris Sims

    Commiserations:( In the current climate, even healthy businesses that are doing well still downsize if they can afford to do so I'm afraid. Hope everyone can bounce back reasonably fast.

    OotS 691

    Giant In the Playground Games I kind of disagree with Roy. I think Elan can find the entrance in that way easier than anyone else might.
