You used a facsimile of the Dream Stele but never mentioned it or explained its significance? tsk tsk! lol

I'm in! Thanks kindly :3

The instance seems to be down this evening? Attempts to open TableToot give me a "We're sorry, but something went wrong on our end." error (and an animated mastodon smashing at a keyboard) when I try, on desktop and on 'native app' on my phone. Also, the tab label in Firefox on desktop reads...

I have to say, as someone who's favorite setting has been Planescape since it launched in 1993, including adoring PS's tieflings, it's sure been a trip seeing these FR folks clutching their pearls about their favorite setting now.

"Doesn't fit S&W"? S&W is just a rules set, and any preconception you -- yes, you -- happen to bring to it speaks far, far more loudly about you and your biases than it does about the game.

There seems to be some confusion over what "romantic fantasy" means. The genre doesn't have the laser-like focus on specifically romantic-as-in-non-platonic-relationships being assumed -- the definition is somewhat different: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic_fantasy So while, yes...

With that much passive aggressive attitude spilling out ("not pledging is telling the industry that you are happy with the status quo", seriously?), they certainly won't get a dime from me. To say nothing of the fool decision of running a Kickstarter with that kind of goal during the bloody...

Because it's not "vagueness", it's giving the wiggle-room needed to not have to codify everything in sight. After too many years of dealing with people on both sides of the screen doing and expecting exactly that, 5e is a blessed breath of fresh air. Not everything needs to be pinned down in...

I think it doesn't need to have any more than it does; it's a simple framework for youngsters who might want to play as characters from their favorite stories. It doesn't need more stats or more knacks, or anything else like that, because it's all just as I said, a framework for young fans to...

I received an email virtually immediately also.

Hardly. The OP tarred an entire group with a single brush. I'm telling the OP that the OP is wrong. If I didn't also play at a table, I would hardly be here on ENWorld, now would I? Good try at putting words in my mouth, though. *tips hat, moves along*

Oh please, not another one of these again. I suppose it's time to crawl out of my den of lurkerdom and address this tired and tiresome handwringing before disappearing once more into the ether. I'm not addressing the WotC subject here; on that, I don't really give a damn. It's the other slant...

In an amusing fit of prescience, I'd made the decision to return to 2e a scant two months before 4e was announced. I like 3e well enough, but it's quite frankly too time-consuming, balance obsessed and packed with Godzilla-sized statblocks for my comfort. 2e gives me everything I want, and...

Salt has, historically, quite often been a highly valued commodity. We in the modern world tend to take it for granted, but salt was critically important for many many cultures including the pre-industrialized West. So much so, that the word "salary" derives from the Latin salarium, which...

Nope, nothing. All I see in the haze is the distinct outline of a gape-jawed skull, starting underneath the right-hand quillion ...
