    Warlord - punished for sacraficing

    That's unhelpful. He sees the Warlord in a particular way and he's specifically asking if there is something he's overlooking. If he's not overlooking anything, then that is a valid answer. If he is overlooking something, then explaining what that might be, would also be a valid answer...

    New Open Design: Halls of the Mountain King

    Edition wars, they do suck my friend. I'd offer to step outside and smoke, but that stuff will kill ya.

    New Open Design: Halls of the Mountain King

    Go ask him specifically over at the LJ. 1,) Find out if that is actually the situation, versus a possible misunderstanding. 2.) Suggest that 4E folks get full participation since the other edition is 'headlining'. Make your case. All you can do is ask. And remember, he can't do all the...

    Pallys get Platemail Feat but Fighters do not?

    Ahhhh! Very good. I can see the conflict over innocent choice of words. Thanks to everybody for their comments!

    New Open Design: Halls of the Mountain King

    Catsclaw, If you're signed up as a 4E voting patron, Wolfgang has started a specific conversation about a 4E version over at the LiveJournal.. about the same time you posted this. For once, I'm not going to play amatuer mouthpiece, but I encourage 4E Patrons to go over and join the...

    New Open Design: Halls of the Mountain King

    I don't mean to speak for Wolfgang (though I have come perilously close at times, so I'm sensitive that I don't)... ... I don't think I'd describe him as preferring 3.5. ... I don't think I'd describe him as preferring 4E. He's in a tough bind a lot of the time. The reason being is that some...

    Great ideas you did (or wished you had done) for your first game?

    I'm also a DDI subscriber, so I've been encouraging them to try the Character Builder as a tool to build their 1st level characters.. and to experiment with builds for a few weeks.

    Great ideas you did (or wished you had done) for your first game?

    Yeah.. we have a dry-erase initiative tracking system.. mini's.. and battlemats. I saw a pretty good resource where someone made a mat that could be laid over character sheets with the most basic values pre-calculated. I might try to sell them on trying Power Cards, at least for the first...

    Pallys get Platemail Feat but Fighters do not?

    Thank you gentlemen, your replies are much appreciated.

    Pallys get Platemail Feat but Fighters do not?

    I'm just verifying this because it surprises me. Paladins get the Plate Mail Feat for free, but the Fighter does not. Has there been any discussion or comments on this? If not.. am I understanding this to be correct?

    Great ideas you did (or wished you had done) for your first game?

    I've been a slow convert to 4E, but I'm there now. I'm ready and excited to run my first game of it. My players have been slower converts, being d20 fans, and feeling burned by the marketing... But they've come around now too. They've looked at the books and started talking, looking past all...

    Kobolds as PCs...Why?!

    Even though I think the OP has had his question answered.. and a lot of fine answers they were too.. I think people are always trying to stretch the boundaries of the game in new and interesting ways. Many of us have played for years, and like an imaginative new approach in playing. The...

    New Open Design: Halls of the Mountain King

    I've done this before. I'd e-mail him before doing it, and then just use PayPal to send him the difference between the two levels of Patronage. On the other hand, he may have a different technique.. but we have done it that way before. Especially when there is no clear cut way to get two...

    New Open Design: Halls of the Mountain King

    It might do that to prevent someone else from using your account after you made the payment. I don't know. PayPal should send you an e-mail reciept.. if you have that, you should be okay. Wolfgang usually writes a note within 24 hours asking for your LJ name. If after 24 hours, if you don't...

    New Open Design: Halls of the Mountain King

    If it is your first time... Make sure you have a (free) LiveJournal account.. if only for participating in Open Design (that is, you don't need to use it as a personal online journal). Wolfgang should be sending you an e-mail with roughly 24 hours, asking for for your LiveJournal name. He'll...

    Wow... It's a 4E Rally!

    New Open Design: Halls of the Mountain King

    Fair enough.. but here's was the relevance at the time. (3.5 is likely so far ahead it doesn't matter now, but just to frame it in context) I said 3.5 wasn't that so far ahead. You indicated that wasn't the based on what you had read. I cited the omitted sentence on the basis that, if 4E...

    New Open Design: Halls of the Mountain King

    This post really frustrates me because I don't understand the spirit or intent with which it is written. That is, I don't understand if you're trying to say that I'm making untruthful statements, or it just brings you some satisfaction to try to be an authority on a topic. I'll assume the best...

    New Open Design: Halls of the Mountain King

    Last update I saw.. 3.5 was ahead, but not by a whole lot. That has been the trend for the last couple days. Interesting we've passed the 50% commission point in only a few days, this one seems to be going fast. Quite possibly the Paizo Boards had a rallying cry, and this thread hopes to...

    Tell Me About M&M

    Another devil's advocate comment: The game does expect the GM to actually GM it, and be familiar wth the rules. That is, in the aspiration to inclusive to any style of gameplay- the rules will allow you to put some really game breaking power concepts together. There are powers that look fine...
