    Justifying high level 'guards', 'pirates', 'soldiers', 'assassins', etc.

    Harder to kill. Not harder to hit, harder to kill. If you have to hit them 2 times to kill them and you need a 11 to hit, it's about the same as 1 hit to kill and a 16 to hit isn't it? Giving a monster 1 hit point but making them harder to hit does about the same thing. The PCs deal enough...

    Developer Talk = Gospel?

    And keep it to Nordic and Greek Fantasy. Yeah also keep it to the three musketeers. Oh yeah and keep it to European Fantasy also. I guess if you put an "Asian Name" to something that crops up everywhere makes it asian.

    Find the Anime Challenge

    Just something I noticed. Just because its cell shaded does not make it anime. I saw a few pictures above called definitly anime that are only called so because they are (sometimes partially) cell shaded.

    Why recommend "upgrading" to IE7 from IE6

    He recommened IE7 for users of IE6 because its in the same software line. Not because he personally thinks its absolutly better. But because in the scheme of things if they are using IE6, getting them to move to IE7 is both easier and more likely to happen.

    Any CRPGs dynamically generating story?

    Bear in mind he isn't really looking for Random just Dynamic. As in he wants more then just a "free form" style game like Morrowind. He wants something like Morrowind but it goes more along with what it is that he choses to do. Like KotoR II with many, many, many more branches and...

    Any CRPGs dynamically generating story?

    Ryzom is slightly player made, and a bit Dynamic. But I haven't played it in a long time so I don't know exactly how its turned out. Maybe checking that out might be interesting.

    D&D 4E In 4E Asmodeus will be a god!

    Actually... The other Devils and Demons are going to see the awesome power that being the top dog gives. And they are going to want some. God Killing and Toppling isn't just for PCs anymore :) I've been having it play out like this in my campaign world for some time now. Its fun when the PCs...

    Of fun and games; was "WoW is not an RPG"

    If you read my post, I pointed out that the adventure in the box requires it. Admiting that it will only "Work" for 2-5 people also exclude any group larger then 5 as not playing D&D. When in actuality that number is for the adventure. PHB page 5 tells you everything you need to play.

    Of fun and games; was "WoW is not an RPG"

    Exactly my point. You are argueing that NO game is a Role-Playing Game unless the certain instance of it being played is an RPG. As such you cannot say that D&D is a role-playing game, just as you also can't say NWN is not a role playing game. All your criterea are outside the box so to...

    Of fun and games; was "WoW is not an RPG"

    So you NEED a GM? So if you play D&D Solo its not a ROle-Playing Game? Awesome D&D isn't a role-playing game.

    Anyone tried DnD tactics yet? (PsP)

    Well, as long as it shows up in combat (when its needed) and doesn't hurt anything I don't really mind. Can't wait to start blasting everything :)

    Of fun and games; was "WoW is not an RPG"

    Honestly, why not? If you are faithfully acting out in game those roles, and playing it out as if you are them, why is it not a role playing game that you are playing? Doesn't make Monopoly an RPG, but it does make your playing of it one. Your disconnect is that you are trying to say that EQ...

    D&D Game Table not Mac-Compatible at launch

    Wait a second, it ISN'T Mac Compatible? I thought it already worked on OS X/Windows and IE/Safari/Firefox?

    Can we please stop calling D&D Insider an MMORPG

    MMORPGs are intended to have multiple groups of people playing in the same shared environment with or without interaction with each other. The DI fails in this in that it is NOT a shared environment, and is instead closer to how Guild Wars or Diablo 1/2 Work, with a small group at a time, not...

    Of fun and games; was "WoW is not an RPG"

    So what you are saying is that, the RP guild I was in for EQ didn't exist? --- BTW the definition you gave for not being an RPG, disavows the ability for D&D to be a role-playing game.

    Anyone tried DnD tactics yet? (PsP)

    That would make my future Psychic Warrior, Psion, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer and Wizard party very unhappy :(. That would mean less Big Badda Booms.

    Anyone tried DnD tactics yet? (PsP)

    I have it sitting on my desk for when I can pick up a Slim PSP. I already know the party I want. Although I am going to have this, Spectral Souls, and Jeanne D'Arc waiting to play...

    D&D 4E 4E - What Rules Need Fixing?

    How about simplifying Carry Capacity and Encumberance rules. Not that they are confusing, but just that they are... Odd. I know its silly but the tables and explanations for the things takes up how much room? This is honestly something that should be trimmed, and only can't be trimmed because...
