    D&D 4E What Changes Do You Hope They Make To The 4E Rules?

    Yep it looks like a lot of you folks got your wish. I have no love for the ruleset within SW Saga, simplified skills, tougher 1st level, etc. not for me. I "initially" very much liked Tome of Battle..., but once I got a chance to play it and seen it in play in the games I DM, I found it...

    D&D Brand Manager of Fluff

    Quite often, but does it provide a valid guessimate that said popularity translates into sufficient sales that WOTC should invest in the cost of developing, designing and printing said books. I believe it is very difficult to judge if a specific theme/topic has the potential sales for...

    D&D: High Fantasy vs. Sword & Sorcery

    S&S, brutal Conan style flavor (definitely medieval), magic is still both wonderful and scary for the common folk.

    D&D video games license to Infrogames extended til 2017

    Doubtful, as Infogrames is a French company. The French government is very likely to loan them money to keep them afloat indefinitely, no matter how much they screw up.

    New laptop?

    Not good for gaming, e.g. no Half-Life 2 (+ episodes) if that is still a requirement. See this UK thread http://www.hotukdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?p=534477

    New laptop?

    Be mindful that Dell actually does not make their own laptop, they purchase them from manufacturers and then brand them "Dell". ASUS and CLEVO are two that I remember, but there are 2-3 more actual companies that make them and then sell to resellers like Dell, HP, etc. Also size of the...

    Gaming in the Military - Your Experiences?

    Not sure nowadays, but when I was in the USMC 1983-1989, I played D&D and I saw others playing Traveller and Runequest.

    Poll/petition Sign the "KEEP DRAGON MAGAZINE' poll/petition

    Other I am waiting to see what WOTC's DI comes out with. Despite being a long-term subscriber to Dragon (only 14-16 issues short of a full hardcopy set), I pretty much just looked forward to the comics. The "archery" issue, which repeated content from the core book really irked me. Over the...

    How thick does plexiglass/acrylic need to be?

    It's been many years since I used plexiglass (note that there are variations of plexiglass plastics, such as acrylic), when I was still in construction. The worst part I remember is that it scratches very easily (acrylic sheets are more resistent to scratches and flexible versus hard plastic...

    http://www.professionalplastics.com/cgi-bin/main/co_disp/displ/prrfnbr/85259/sesent/00 http://www.rplastics.com/plexiglas.html The prices look pretty reasonable to me, the shipping costs will definitely push it up. Recommend that you search for a source near you and borrow a pickup truck to...

    Enough with the PDF table of contents already!

    I believe WOTC uses Adobe InDesign for their publishing tasks and its a simple File (pull-down) left-click "Print to PDF" - check "current page", or more likely they just have a macro pre set with "ALT P... something custom" for the current page. The output PDF can be preset to low quality up...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Look further down there have been several threads. The last beta patch pretty much killed it for me, as it will longer run on my desktop PC or laptop. Last time I checked on the beta boards, about a week ago or two, some people were still getting VPU graphic errors and Turbine had no remedy...

    Gencon 2007 Event Catalog is Up

    1, I have been to four of them and its never been filled up. Last year it was a small conference room with chairs for at least 80+ people, I doubt they got 30 attendees in total. Timing is the problem, too many other good events going on at the same time. If I go and have time, these are the...

    DDO is dead!

    Not a fan of FR myself, but I do know that they Turbine borrowed $23 million for DDO, which is only about 1/2-1/3 what Blizzard spent on WoW. Turbine spent a big chunk of that on coding for 3.5 rules and on stormreach city. There were a couple of other small villages/towns, but very little...

    What is the standard ability score set? Are most games playing too high?

    For me, high stat characters creates several problems that I have seen first hand when DMing and from reading the boards here and on WOTC D&D boards. 1. They can more easily take on and defeat monsters and encounters of the appropriate CR/ECL - - which leads to gaining xp faster and therefore...
