Hardtack is a non magical food best described as a Dire Cracker. It was not increadably filling, but it kept well. How well? Well enough to have real pieces that have seen centuries in museums.

Comparing that to the Movie version of the LotR Lembas is like comparing Excalibur to a rusty meat cleaver. Yeah hardtack seems to be a baked good and might last long enough to seem of elf manufacture, but it sure ain't magically filling. Though it might seem magically hardened if you don't soak it first.

Damn, they still eat that stuff in Alaska? But why?

I really like her writing, I am actually thinking of buying her book for a female-gamer in our group and for myself as well.

As for the journeybread, while it does sound alot like lembas it doesn't necessarily work the same way. Her comment on it was very vague and fleeting to say the least, not enough to base anything on. Hell for all we know it is like hardtack but filled with alcholol to make the PCs "feel better".

PS I hear that in 4e casters will have 'at will' abilities. This proves that WotC are trying to turn D&D into Donkey Kong.

Did I tell you my dwarf got the Hammer of Barrel smiting?

That was probably another poor attempt at humor. Seriously, she really needs to tone it down and treat her writings as an article, not her own personal blog.

Anyhow, it seems that 4e soon will see the same inluxofmagic item clutter that littered previous editions, espexially 3e.

I usually need someone to translate her writings. Every time I see an article thats hers I cant be bothered due to her rambling style.

Because there are plenty of places (north of Fairbanks) that you can only reach by plane. If the weather turns bad, you've got to make sure your food lasts.

And, it's kinda like how Spam is still popular in Hawaii: people grew up with it, so they consider it a staple.

My eyes are rolling so hard right now that I think I pulled a muscle.

Expect the bill!

Hmm at least a 75% reduction in the cost of a flying mount. Verrry interesting. We may see a lot more mounted aerial combat this edition. I’m non to thrilled about PCs having that pillow made of ½ their hp as a negative HP parachute, but at least they will be up there..

Where'd that hippogriff info come from? I saw what Shelly wrote about being able to purchase one for 1,000 gp.

Well... Perhaps though flying mounts could be as rare even rarer in 4e it depends on the wealth-system. I personally am hoping that to even have gold would mean your considered quite wealthy, 1000 gold your a extremely wealthy nobleman and merchant.
