Since you're science-geeking, allow me as well since I teach this stuff.

And now we know... and knowing is half the battle!

I always think of Prog Rock when I think of dnd.

Long hair? Check. Nerds? Check.

Cool site.

Thinking about it - it actually works fine. You only get at-wills at level 1 and never need to worry about them again really... so it's really the red encounter and black dailys, and those show fine, color blind or no.

Source?

Seconded! (bold mine)

I think of DnD as existing in the Ven diagram intersection of Devo, Wheezer, and Led Zeppelin.

Speaking as what appears to be the only color blind person here, the reds look good, but I'd have to see the greens to say.

I'm actually surprised that people didn't pick up on this earlier. When I was looking at the two pages of the wizard I was thinking "Hm, I wonder why the different colors..." and noticed they varied by encounter/daily.

I guess it wasn't big enough news until Dave said something. Both Daves, you're just that cool.

I blame the incredibly hot guest host for the positive associations.

I can see that. Or rather, I would like to see that.


So, powers - color-coded for your convenience. Together will the chromatic dragons, does this mean D&D is becoming "color-wheely"?

 

[The_Fan]

No, you'd be an unusual nerd if you were having sex more than you talk about neurons.

I laugh because it's funny.

I cry because it's true.

And Re: The music debate. D&D is METAL. Totally metal. Look at the resemblence between D&D bookcovers and heavy metal album covers. (not so much 3e, but 4e seems to thankfully be going back to that)

Short answer, I didn't even notice they were different colours. I was to busy reading the text. This suggests that at least in the picture the colour distinction is not distracting from the content of the page; which is a good thing imo.

I would really like to know more about this. Can you cite your source, please.
