Mmph. After years of "wouldn't it be great if I won a bazillion dollars and gave the game back to Gygax", I'm pretty over that sort of 'speculation'.

I'm willing to be auprised, but I suspect you'll be out if luck on that one.

huzzah!

As requested, this is on a 13 inch screen on a laptop. It's a bit cramped, but I wouldn't go so far as say unusable. On a possibly related note, I've found the forums a bit more sluggish sicne you've put in this change. Regards

Just saw this as well - I was wondering how fast someone would grumble about it.....

The editors response is very interesting. To aggressively summarise (as others have above), "yes we should have disclosed conflict-of-interest and yes it was a bit content free, oops we'll try to do better." Relevant sections: "As to whether Bodden's relationships with the previous versions...

Monte Cook spent quite some time working on Rolemaster 2nd ed, and the influences are fairly clear from that.

This is one of the reason why whenever "roll-playing" is used against D&D, it really gets my goat - didn't we get this when Vampire showed up, and we were shown what "true roleplaying" was?

Generally with 4e, I run it without miniatures unless its a fairly big battle, in which case I use a dry-erase mat. I manage this the same way as in previous editions (or other games) - describe the environment (often with a map or scrawled map), and modify the 4e principle of "Say Yes" to...

Actually we have seen two recent sucessfull interventions: (1) The "no edition wars" around the time of the 4e launch. This kept the worst of the edition warriors from each others throats for a while, and allowed discussion on more useful areas to flourish. (2) PDF/WotC is teh suxxorz threads...

Here's the thing - that may be true, but is there anything worng with not having these discussions "for now", and reopening them in a month or two when tempers cool again?

Hi Morrus, I can't say that I'm jumping with joy over the email, but am blissfully unconcerned about you sending it, and appreciated you taking the time to come up with new ways to make the site more useful to us. Keep up the good work! Elephant/CapnZapp - overreacting posters are...

Yup, Cormyr and the Dalelands look to get a bit more love than other areas - I think I've also seen some DDI stuff for Cormyr
