    Easier than an e-mail to each of the mods.

    I don't need to be here. I know it; you know it. Time to enact an early "new year's resolution," so to speak, and get rid of one of my surfer bookmarks. Sorry, guys. I really didn't mean to cause problems. Most of ya are real sweethearts and don't deserve the headache, intended or not. Take...

    Racial characteristics most likely to be played at your tables?

    Which of the 3rd edition core PHB races have been roleplayed by gamers at your tables most often via some stereotypical personality quirk or cultural references? This can include, but should not be limited to, dwarven gruffness, half-orc anger/thick-headedness, gnomish jokes, voice inflections...

    WHY are elves so danged cool?

    Not looking for heated arguments AGAINST elves. Really. So try to avoid picking them apart in this thread, and definitely don't pick on the message posters themselves*. I'm very curious as to why some people find D&D elves to be so danged cool. Please explain. Try to use as much detail as...

    THREE elven races, plus half-elves ... but they say gnomes have no niche?!

    So the designers feel they can justify teensy little differences between elves and "feywild" elves, and even evil dark-skinned drow elves, just enough to toss them into the PHB as iconic classes -- with comments that half-elves will still be around, too -- but they can't come up with enough of a...

    Announced before Christmas?

    Do you think it was a good idea, or even avoidable, for WotC to reveal plans for the release of a new edition before the Christmas retail rush passed? Or, if you'd prefer a related question: What effect has this had on sales of current-edition D&D materials as we're moving into the heaviest...

    What's happening to the bard?

    What's the general prognosis for the 4th edition bard? I haven't heard much about his viability. Will 4-ed be bard-free?

    Will you laugh or cry at the gnomes' good-bye party?

    When the 4th edition PHB is released for public consumption, will you be sad at the absence of gnomes from the core book or pleased to see them gone?

    D&D 4E Why the 4e hate on Wilbur?

    As posted on ENWorld's front page, from the Prophecy of the Priestess, Part 5 via Greg Bilsland's Gleemax blog, we're given these juicy nuggets to consider: * "The bandits continued to abuse Wilbur..." * "The opportunistic bandits manage to keep Wilbur from taking full advantage of his fighter...

    How often do you practice?

    How often do you practice your dice-rolling skills? An estimate would be fine -- a few minutes a day, three hours a week, etc. Every elite athlete knows that he or she can only count on reflexes that he (or she) has refined through focused repetition and training over a long period of time...

    Ideas needed for relic

    I'm familiar with the traditional myths surrounding the relic, but I'm looking for creative alternatives, modern or fantasy. Ever build any adventures around the Spare of Density?

    How will 4th ed. affect other d20-based games?

    I was thinking about Mutants & Masterminds last night -- I let my copy go many months back but now I've got a hankering for superhero fun again -- and it hit me that with several aspects of d20 D&D coming out, other related games might be affected as well. Any ideas on that? Are those games...

    Are we there yet?

    Are we there yet? Are we? Huh? Well, are we there yet? Are we there yet? When are we gonna get there? Is that it? How about that? Are we there yet?

    How you imagine physical features of OTHER player characters

    When you're gaming with other D&D'ers in one of your more usual fantasy adventures, to what degree do you envision the physical features of their player characters (not just your own)?

    So what's the next book to be released in the "Complete" series?

    Haven't heard anything about the next "Complete" book following "Champion." Then again, I might have missed it for all the hulabaloo caused by the 4th edition thingy that everyone keeps talking about. :\ Any ideas about the new Comp. titles planned and when they'll be released?

    Gnomes Rememberance Day

    We should decide on a date between now and the release of 4th edition to hold a special memorial for the gnomish PC race. We can eat gnome snacks, read gnome poetry, listen to gnome music, play pranks on each other, post our favorite art, and share our most treasured memories of gnome PCs as...

    What happens to previous edition material on store shelves?

    Does anyone know what happens to older edition D&D material once a company (WotC or second-party supporter) releases books for a new edition? There was so much time between 2nd and 3rd edition, I don't suppose it presented a problem, but what happened when 3e became 3.5e -- did WotC order...

    Info on "Inn Fighting," the (in-game) dice game?

    If I understand correctly, the Inn Fighting dice game was crafted so it can be played in-game as well as by itself without PCs. A couple of questions: 1. How successfully do in-game gambling scenarios play out for your group? 2. Any details on the mechanics of Inn Fighting available? (I'm...

    How much is it worth to you to acquire a 96-page book that provides some information about 4th edition races/classes just months before the release of the actual PHB?
