Great man. I'm glad you like Prog-Rock. That has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

I'd like to know exactly how common earthmotes and weird terrain are in the new Forgotten Realms...

Right on the Money! Ruin Explorer is right on the money. I would separate some complaints about the new Realms before proceeding. 1) I love the tone of the new rules 2) I have no problem with advancing the timeline. But... Why do we need to radically alter the feel and very look of the...

I had considered starting a movement: Wouldn't it be funny if everyone brought their 3e stuff to Gen Con and just LEFT it on the floor at the WotC booth for them to dispose of. :-)

WhoDat's Bunk-Ass Campaign Well, I did NOT like Champions of Ruin. How does that make me "cattle?" I don't know. What I do know is the following (having played in Who Dat's regular Friday night game in Cow Island, LA): While I don't pretend to be able to compete with you on Realms trivia...

Dr. Awkward said: I, for example, like the Realms, and would like to see the following changes made: 1. Kill off all characters over 20th level. 2. Shake up the political situation to the point that a DM can say "okay, this part of Daggerdale has been turned into a new duchy under Duke Steve,"...

It kinda irks me that the two sides of this back and forth are either 1) "The Realms is BAD because of Elminster and every other NPC I can think of" and apparently should be like Eberron or 2) "The Realms is great and not a thing can be changed -- or else!" I think I represent the majority of...

Thank you Paul for a GREAT post!

Moria, I don't think it's a simple thing either, but I don't accept the idea that they're doing just for a "Living" Campaign. There seems to be a good bit of care and thought here (particularly in regard to 4E). If they really did orchestrate all these changes 2 years ago with peripheral...

Very interesting Kheris...

Future Realms A friend and I talked at length about the potential timeline fast-forward. A couple points: - The mention of an "Empire of Netheril" I can't imagine R.A. Salvatore throwing something like that in just because the mood struck him. He's generally gone far out of his way to avoid...

I would emphasize the real strengths of the fantastic Dungeons and Dragons IP. I would harness Ed Greenwood to write Realms of the Heartland. This would be a Forgotten Realms sourcebook covering Cormyr and Sembia. Ed could mine the copious notes he has about these central areas of Faerun that...

So Morrus, what do YOU think this is about?

Me too Kunimatyu. Can you imagine how much the old Winter Fantasy would grow if that was known in advance?

So what would be the most likely purpose of said press conference? I can tell you that if I was WotC I would be announcing 4E. If they're not doing that, then launching the DI to replace Dragon & Dungeon, releasing an utterly weak-ass product schedule, and pulling back all kinds of licenses...

He actually responded to my post. I'm not going to run around with my hair on fire about 4E, but I really did expect them to announce at Gen Con '07 for a release at Gen Con '08. I'm still not 100% convinced that won't happen (I for one really hope that it does). Even though I really like...

For the record, I don't think the sky is falling. I'm intrigued to see what they do with 4E. I'm not convinced it's going to be great, but I'm also not convinced it won't. If I had it my way, I'd want them to release a truly great 4E at Gen Con 2008. There's also been some speculation...

I would point out a couple things relating to Gen Con and 4E: 1) If Wizards is actually putting in additional work more than a month ahead, then this is not the norm. I've been to their seminars and they have seemed thrown together over the last few years. 2) If they're NOT announcing plans...

I'm a little annoyed that there are no new Forgotten Realms products in 2008. Whether or not you like the setting (I agree about most of the common complaints), lots of us love it and will always be interested in it. Seeing that has pretty much convinced me that I'm going to be sitting in a...

I was somewhat skeptical when I heard what the book is NOT. After I bought it, however, I was really pleased with what it IS. It would make a fun adventure into Undermountain. If I were running in Waterdeep right now, you can bet I'd think about incorporating it (along with Eric Boyd's...
