It's totally possible, they just make unrealistic goals for their technology division, then they fire most of them when they're not getting the results they asked for. They just went through another round of dismissals. I find this ironic considering how I know and own no less than 3 independently ...

LOL! Even the political satire is true to life!

Great skit, Doirche!

What? It COULD happen.

Seriously, I hope he is okay.

I'd like to see that.

I don't think he would. I bet he'd rather not be okay than to play 4e, you know, given the lesser of two evils....

Where's Halaster?

I haven't changed the Fireball spell. Fireballs are what they are, and they expand to the dimensions they expand to every time. I could see a smaller scale spell being developed, however. A Firebolt or similar spell, if one hasn't already been written up in the Spell Compendiums.

I stop by every day, but haven't had much of an urge to post lately.

I like them. They've allowed me to acquire a few individual modules I didn't have back in the day as part of a supermodule. One of the B modules in In Search of Adventure, for example. I forget which one.

I am your loyal servant.

Welcome Trent. I always did want to try and get into NWN scenario modding, but it was the programming I had a problem with.

I watched part of this a while back, and got bored very quickly, and laughed at his idea to have the party write the adventure as they go. Yeah, I think we can all safely predict what happens when players are given the reins over their own fortunes and fates...

I'm getting into Dundjinni a lot. It's amazing how it can manipulate artwork and customize a single piece of art to get what you're looking for. I love how you can cut and customize art pieces to get what you need. The sheer quantities of art objects available to DJ is wonderful. Layering to get the...

I found BIP through Halaster on the AD&DCampaigns website, and before that, on the Mortality website. He and I started chatting a lot via email over the status of where D&D was headed, and we mutually agreed that it was headed towards emasculation, as Halaster likes to say. My avatar is a co...

GSL: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/welcome

That was such an articulate and intelligent blog, I saved it to read again and again. I don't want to sound like Nostradamus here, but this is what a friend and I have been discussing for years, right after the intiial release of 3e. It's sad our predictions are coming true too. I wish we were wrong...

And now it looks like WotC is turtling into their protective copyright shells with this latest version of their GSL. I love it. What clearer indication of a company that doesn't know what the fuck it's doing than to completely alienate, not only long time supportive fans like us (and even 3e'ers), b...

Now we have to think of one for 5e, cause you know it'll be out 6 months from now.

My vote is for Vile. Think about it.

Well done McDeath!

Check out my homepage, which unfortunately due to time constraints, needs to be updated and added to badly. http://www.varl.org/index.php/gems_jewels/ This is similar to what I was thinking. I set this part of my site up (with a friend's help) for me to be able to post online my house rules and as a...

I can't defend the stances of people who support buying the products for the motives you list. All I can say is that I note, like you, that some people invest a great deal (both financially and emotionally) into a hobby and don't like to see that investment end in disaster or feel incapable of step...

Instead of a whole new (old?) edition, seeing how I've grown very weary of editions, I wouldn't mind seeing an entire website created for house rules where people could post their personal house rules for all to share. A forum for every major topic in AD&D, and even subfora for those topics too ...

It can't be a very fun position for Ed to be placed in, seeing what they're doing to his Realms, and ending up having to "do the best he can with it". That just sounds like cries of pain and sorrow to me.

Apologies in advance for the quote size, but this just has to be shown to be believed: Name: Kriv Level/Alignment: Lvl 1 Lawful Good Paladin Race: Dragonborn Class: Paladin Role: Defender Deity: Bahamut Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares Vision: Normal Height: 6’8” Weight: 315 lbs.

OMG Minstrel! You are DA MAN!!! I haven't even read those links yet, and I am laughing so hard, my sides hurt! And I hope you said "Liquid hot MAGMA" in its proper, Dr. Evil voice. ROFL! It hurts! It hurts! Somebody stop the lunacy the 4orons are deploying! SOMEBODY SHOOT! :lol: Edit: BTW,...

I've seen the 4E PHB and it is far worse than I could ever have imagined. And I had really low expectations for it going in! Uh oh. Clerics can start with an AT WILL ability that does 1d8 + their wisdom modifier damage, using their Wisdom vs the foes Reflex. It has a 5 square range AND one of their...

The only interest I have in 4e are features of the game I can strip mine from it for my game and convert said rules to my 2e game, and to give them a 2e feel. I'm not so old school that I'll refuse to look at new rules I haven't seen yet and dismiss them out of hand, but I'm also not interested in p...
