Nature casts Fire Tornade It's Super Effective

It's an interesting background but weren't the drey always part of Dark Sun?

The thing about Eberron is that it at least felt as an example of intentional design to match the rules. They checked the 3.5 rules and molded archetypes to match them in the setting.

Oh nice scenario. Gives a lot of opportunities for pulp vehicle combat (which is one of the best things in Eberron if handled right).

I'd say that when you are trying a new setting, you should be trying it's archetypes closely. If I am to play darksun I need to be an escaped slave, a former mul gladiator, an elven bard/assassin or a human of the veiled alliance. Archetypes (And themes manage them nicely) are what help tie your...

You somehow missed the huge threads on new releases announced in GenCon then:) Tons of cool stuff inc (including Ravenloft as a BOXED SET!).

Bad plot and bad characters? Yeah I am afraid I'd agree. When introduced in the grey box most of the NPCs felt great but the character development ever since has been . . . lacking. The difference is that the writing itself is better in the books. I mean Serpent Kingdoms in 3.5 as one of the...

The problem with Greenwood's novels is not the sex between old guys and hot young women. The problem with the novels is that for some reason, while Greenwood is excellent when he is writing RPG books he is just poor at writing novels. Bad plot, bad characters, too much forced awesome trying to...

Well ofc it would be my homebrew:) I love Planescape but I don't consider it a D&D campaign setting. I did have tons of fun playing some Eberron in 3.5 so I guess I'd go for that.

To add what I don't like about the Forgotten Realms, it has to be the crappy literature. There are a few good writers in the novel lines but the majority is from mediocre to downright crap. Seriously because you can write a few hundred pages doesn't mean you should. I cannot say more because it...

Kinda have to add that we do know a lot about Ed's campaign since his players have discussed it at Candlekeep quite often. And he does use his NPCs quite liberally (Storm more than El from what I gather).

I will not disagree. During 2E FR suffered badly when TSR starting transplanting real world cultures to Toril. Even worse, 3E did not really translate those regions. Still more, about a dozen real world pantheons were transplanted into Planescape. The thing is that with the exception of...

Other worlds. In 2E the multiverse was vast with multiple prime material worlds. The interloper deities were largely multispheric deities worshipped in more than one crystal sphere; they simply chose to expand their sphere of influence to Toril since belief=power as explained in Planescape...

Thousands of people can fly around in WoW at the same time. And flying combat would be ludicrously easy for Blizzard to implement in WoW; already you can cast instants while falling and now in the new expansion under certain conditions you're able to cast spells as well. If the 7 year old WoW...

One of these days Tarquin will break my Awesome-O-meter. . .

If I remember well the original modrons of the hierarch caste, particularly the secundi but a few tiers below, were all powerful psions.

Tokens!

Oh rogue modrons would be awesome:) Makes me remember Nordom from Torment.

Since essentials allows for subclasses with a different role, I don't see why bladesinger cannot be an Int/Dex striker subclass for swordmage tbh.

Indeed I find the emotion confusing. I am pretty sure WotC produced twice as much during 3-3.5 on any given time other than the last year
