One of my two groups of players really likes Spontaenous Casting, to the degree that the Druid and the Cleric have both taken the Spontaneous Divine Casting Feats. They ran up against of the limitations of that build in our last play session. An enemy cleric casted Blindness/Deafness on the...

Thank you for that. Seriously. May I make a request? Will you tell your next contact person that you have heard that people enjoyed the regular weekly updates, especially when you we got them on a specific day. Also tell them that we're concerned that things are going to fall apart without...

Not necessary. ;) I was being crabby. Being pleasant on a messageboard is a discipline for me, not an innate skill. I respect that you can't comment, and note that you're not a moderator. That in fact is one of the things I find confusing about those boards. That is, who is in charge and...

Me too. From a few other threads, I doubt many people will agree with me about Randy.. and I'm okay with that. I actually didn't accept 4E until fairly recently, so I don't have that year of frustration behind me. So I can appreciate that not everybody feels that good about him. But you've...

::shrug:: What can I say? I didn't see it this morning when I specifically looked for it, and then a few hours later, there it was. Either the board glitched, which we all know sometimes happens, or... ...I'm just wrong. Which also sometimes happens. Besides, that isn't even the salient...

Forked from: layoffs? Dave was replying to me, somewhat defending Randy Buehler's work on DDI. I had said that in recent months that the DDI program had steadily been improving. This morning, there was no DDI News Column from Randy. Since then, one has been posted. It does not mention any...

I accept that then, in the spirit that things were improving. My hope is that DDI doesn't suffer a setback because of the layoffs/restructuring.

I'm late to this thread, but I have been in this situation before. I was the DM. I felt it was my responsibility to deal with it. I still do. Admittedly, the guy is a friend, but he was closer friends with the other people at the table. Being DM is bloody hardwork, but in this case, I do think...

Does anybody know if Cort Odekirk was among those that were laid off?

My condolences to the whole lot of them. There's been a few comments about Randy Buehler. I never knew of him from any place but DDInsider. However I wanted to say that once he relaunched the DDI project with his weekly Wednesday columns, I felt a lot more confident about the direction DDI was...

I voted story, but the caveat to that is that combat is necessary. I respect the notion of not having a "Both" option, but there is something very true and valid about balance. Putting it in context: If my voting for "story" suggests to you that I don't enjoy "combat", you would not be...

I have never not used one since playing 3.5. I can not imagine doing so with 4E either. I'm not a tactical guy, but my players and fellow GMs use them too. Hell, I have been running a steady campaign for over a year, and it just struck me that I don't even own a battlemat, but I have...

Probably not a secret at all, I suspect he was just having fun, and I cast it in the wrong light. As I mentioned above, they've said they want to update the rules from the Beta- but they have to balance that with actual work on the project. They can't just slap a Word Document up for example...

You and Orcus would be well suited to such an endeavor. As a side note on the subject of everything not being completely visible.. Jason Bulmahn recently released some additional Feats in a fourm post. One such feat related to Crafting skills. A poster pointed out that the Feat seemed to be...

Monsters are also a key puzzle piece that I know with some certainty is being addressed. And it is being addressed off-camera. The monsters are being redesigned to fit with the new rules. They already have a release date for the Monster book that is actually before the Core rules. (June)...

That may not be true. I'm reading a lot of posts that seem concerned about the lack of communication. Jason responds to something almost every day, or every other day. So does James Jacobs, and the rest of the Editorial Team.. like Wes and Sean. But, those posts don't often constitute...

One quick observation, as one who is beta-testing the rules, and keeps an eye on the Paizo boards... The biggest changes were to happen in the Alpha stage. That is over with now. The Beta is a living document, but the expectation was that by the time the rules hit Beta, they were to be...

Yes.. I am using/playing around with it. It is pretty cool. As Mustrum_Ridcully said, it is a work in progress.. but it holds definite promise.

Despite anything I said about the AICN review, I agree with Piratecat. I plopped down a year's subscription for DDI, and I don't have any regrets so far. Not every article has been pure genius, but overall, there has been at least something really great every month. And considering this...

That is a fair comment. I would point out that the town has advanced many years from the original product that inspired it. Though, I don't know to what degree, since I don't own the Red Hand of Doom. I am not trying to be a DDI Salesman, but the first few chapters and support articles (such...
