Yes! It all depends on the game you want to run. For folks who want to run a low(er)-magic game, a system that emulates anime-style combat and Final Fantasy spell-slinging isn't going to please. Those that like that kind of high-fantasy will probably love a ToB:Bo9S style game. I notice you quoted ...

I don't mind a new D&D edition per se, but I hope it won't be even more videogamesque. What's that obsession with speading the game? In a few editions, it will be a "OK, in the cave stands a menacing troll, and ( one dice is rolled) zapp, the battle is finished." Also, that tabletop-o...

I think it depends on who writes it. If it's written by people who don't know a thing about the original Ravenloft and don't even bother reading about it, then it'll be crap just like EtCR was. If, on the other hand, they have someone write it who actually did their homework on the setting, they cou...

Firan Zal'honan was born in the earldom of Knurl, a city-state in the eastern Flanaess. As the second of three sons of Lord Turalitan Zal'honan, his political future was decidedly dim from his birth, and he spent much of his childhood overlooked by his parents. From an early age, Firan demonstrated...

They're producing a podcast sometime today to answer a whole bunch of questions people have about 4e. I emailed them to ask if they plan on bringing Ravenloft back. Hey, it was worth a shot, right?! "Bringing it back? It's gonna be the default setting! We're dropping Eberron, Forgotten Realms,...

Am I the only one that sees 4th edition as an improvement to the system and not just a stab at our wallets? :shock:

I second what NeoTiamat said. Switch over to 4th when it comes out.

Not all of Fourth Edition’s changes will add to the game by subtraction; many rules tweaks they’ve experimented with in books all over Wizards’ RPGs will show up as well. For example, Slavicsek tells us that “The Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords book, which gave fighter-type characters the s...
