She did. The rogue in question—an elf named Nayalil, played by my friend Lisa—did make an attack called a tornado strike to pull off this particular exploit. It also helped that she won initiative against the barlgura. Here is a picture of the table after the exploit's effect Picture of...

I am not trying to. You are absolutely right, good DMs are already doing this (and should), but we are not helping create good DMs when we make rules that a DM has to work around to make a good and interesting game. We want to give you the freedom to create a good game without having to fix or...

No, what I am saying is D&D (and just about any other roleplaying game) is ultimately a game of two masters. First and foremost, as the rules go, it is a game of combat. Much of any D&D game, and arguably the most interactive parts, take place within the scope of the combat encounter. You can...

The goal is not to take away toys, but rather to make toy both simpler for the new or casual DM and more dynamic for the experienced DM. So, what is the spined devil missing? Well the Summon Baatezu...and that ability has always been either useless or problematic. Not only has it never...

Fair enough.

Huh...it's kinda 1st Edition, with better tech. Just say’n I think there’s something very comforting to old-timey gamers who've slogged through the prior editions that the amount of prep makes the experience, but too often in 3rd Edition that prep time is wasted on things wasted in a standard...

I may not be the best looking guy in the world, but I would make a worse looking woman. :lol:

I really think there is a balance here. It is the DM's game, but it also is a game and a player, through reading the rules, should have a good idea of how things will work. For instance, to use 3.x examples, A player's feat or spell should not be subject to DM fiat, unless that is explained...

Or why not make it even simplier. Just saying. ;)

Agreed.

Agreed. Since I started running my Age of Worms campaign through Fantasy Grounds II, I've become and online play convert. With new technology you lose nothing except for sharing a pizza, and you get to play with folks you've not played with since college. I have no doubt that you'll be able to...

I know there are many ideas, but few final plans, and none I would feel confortable scooping from Chris Tulach, the fantastic guy sitting down in RPGA right now. Sorry, you'll just have to wait and see. :)

I totally agree with you. And as the guy who used to sit at the RPGA desk, I would have loved it if we only had one campaign, and had the resources of Dungeon magazine to produces a top rate product. Between legacy issues, fan desire, a tight budget, and a desperate need to try new things and...

Sometimes it was the other way around. Tournament modules would eventually become published modules, or part of the printed modules were the tournament adventures (not all of Slave Lords was played as the Gen Con XIII AD&D Open, just some small sections of it IIRC. The same is true for Dwellers...

First off, I think the RPGA did just fine when I left Wizards last year. :) I didn't detail a whole lot of mechanics for it because I don't think they needed a whole lot of them. Or rather, I think that they should have just as many mechanics as the DM or adventure writer needs. In some ways...

Now, I'm a company stooge and all, but don't confuse the lack of Internet opinionated and snark for double-speak. Loren was pretty straight-up and clear, if not somewhat guarded (as we all are when talking on forums and to the gaming press). Please remember that we are a part of a publically...

The plan to release 3.5 errata is still going ahead, and we are still on track to release a first, "soft" update very soon including errata for Magic Item Compendium and our first official quarterly release of errata in October. One of our goals in creating this errata process was to create a...

Huh. Strange, I am getting the same thing...I'll have to see what's up when I get to work this morning.

Nice! :lol:

Wow. All I can say is...well...very, very, very not true. Try again.
