    House Ruling 4E? How common

    I house rule a lot. In AD&D I had a large set of house rules, then with Player's Options my house rules became extremely complicated (and never really got played much . . .). On 3rd edition I simply used a lot of UA options and a list of banned features from books outside the core. My 4th...

    How Evil are your Campaigns' Villains!

    I don't believe there is irredeemable evil, I'd expect that given the right circumstances anyone mortal and almost any immortal can be redeemed. But I do have extremely evil characters, not in that they are monolithic evil people who identify themselves as such, but sadists, completely amoral...

    D&D 4E 4e Dark Sun

    Because part of the premise of Dark Sun is the extreme environment. Food and water can be very hard to come by. Personally I'd expect a few enviromental skill challenges to solve the rules issue here.

    Sacred Cows for any edition

    Race/Class/Level. Six abilities. I'd like for AC to go the way of the dodo or even better to represent avoidance with a separate defense score for mitigation.

    Pathfinder 1E [MERGED] Pathfinder forum complaint threads

    I definitely like the sound of a Pathfinder forum. Maybe now I can browse preview threads with ease and everything is not inside a couple of megathreads that are choke full of information and impossible to navigate. By that I mean, maybe now that there is a separate forum, people will fork...

    Hands up who wants to play the healing battery?

    I like the cleric in 4E but I don't see him as a healing battery. Also I don't think that healing in WoW can ever be compared to healing in D&D, healing in WoW especially raid healing is for me extremely fun and challenging. D&D healing strategies are very basic in general, and to my experience...

    4E Campaign Announcement Time/Date

    Well if old schoolers are to be happy about it it would have to be Greyhawk or Mystara.

    August and Beyond Previews

    I am guessing an official get rid of enhancement bonus system (not that it is needed but it will help with the CB). I am hoping divine boons and grandmaster training replace daily item uses.

    Details from the WotC 2010 Spring catalog

    But they did not remove elemental fire (which really is not that hard to adventure in, try the negative quasi's for that), they just shoved it in the elemental chaos and probably have preserved most locations (probably all just no chance for them to show up yet). As for Planescape being about...

    Details from the WotC 2010 Spring catalog

    Why should we never get a chance to visit the planes as places to adventure in in the traditional old school style? The Planescape type planes had amazing flavor but were crap poor as places to do heroic adventures at, and D&D has in all editions stressed heroic adventures and based its ruleset...

    Details from the WotC 2010 Spring catalog

    Will anyone who has DDI buy this? I can see the argument that people want a book so they can browse it at their leisure, but a 32 page softcover? Anyone who has DDI will get all the crunch for free and this time the crunch is limited enough that you can browse it fast in the DDI even if you are...

    EberronToC and D&D Podcast: Divine Power

    I need more scoops! I will be away from a PC for two weeks and I need more scoops from Divine Power:( Why has noone gotten it ahead of time and leaked half of it this time?

    Mearls talks about his inspiration for the 4e classes

    Considering Gandalf was a creature of light send by the gods and Merlin was mostly a druid with some arcane spells, no neither of the archetype wizards was actually a wizard . . .

    Next Month: Githzerai

    Dak'kon made the githzerai a favorite for me. Awesome character (and generally awesome game). As for why I said Dex/Wis, githzerai were never famous as psions but rather as monks and zerthi. And Dex/Wis were always their good stats (though they would not match a zerthi who would probably be...

    Why the beer hate? (Forked Thread: What are the no-goes...)

    We almost always have a break for food and drinks. I love cooking and I always make up some finger food and maybe a light dish or two for the group. If they go well with alcohol sure, people will drink alcohol. At the gaming table itself noone seems to be drinking though, except for whatever was...

    July and beyond AV2 items

    I give a lot less (I use a house rule that gives PCs the advantage of NPC magic item thresholds) and intergrate everything into the campaign setting so I use my own fluff. I don't mind more fluff though as long as they don't introduce more gamebreaking items in AV2. AV1 is the one supplement in...

    Is the psion what the fighter should have been? Forked Thread: New PH3 Class Psion!

    The thing is the more we move into the system, the better everything gets at least as far as I am concerned. Many argue that the PHB2 classes are simply better designed, and so are the MM2 monsters. Likely the PHB3 and MM3 will be the same. It is a simple fact that every gaming system can be...

    I really don't like the Compendium links in articles.

    They cannot do this on Dragon and Dungeon unless they update the Compendium on every article release.
