"Reality TV Lets Marketers Write the Script"

Hello. There is a very interesting article concerned with advertising and its effects on television, and specifically reality shows. It is a long article, so I have only quoted excerpts of it here.[br][br][br]http://www.wimnonline.org/articles/triumph2.html[br][br] Even more disturbing than marketer...

Modularity and the “narrowing” of D&D

Hello. I’m de-lurking for a bit to get your opinions on an issue I am concerned about, which seems to be hinted about more and more in 4e.[br][br]The following quotes are from the EN world homepage (originally from other pages), and Wotc's Dnd page:[br][br][br] 3. Every class gets cool "non-att...

Re: My Paladin Kludge

Unless you have Disease and Fear play central roles in your game; this class isn't really giving out anything that anyone would want to have. [br][br]Yeah. I considered that. I've been hesistant of making houserule changes to the base classes, as my first revision shows. I was trying to expand upon...

My Paladin Kludge

Heya. Although I’m on the Pc side of things the majority of the time I play dnd, I have a list of houserules that I update periodically when I believe I have a better balance solution than that which is presented in the book. As such, I thought I should de-lurk for a bit and see what you guys think ...

Competence, Balance, and Sales

Hello. I have some thoughts on an issue concerning WotC, and I was hoping some other people could lend some of their insight. On occasion, I have considered how competent some game designers are while reading new WotC D&D material. This in itself is not revelatory, nor uncommon to many of you I ...

Re: Why is Greater Magic Weapon both a 3rd level spell and a

So what do you propose either... [br][br]Something Closer to B. Like Clerics and Druids with the Cure spells. Sorc/Wiz get Summon Monster as normal, while the cleric gets Summon Monster one level later starting at Summon Monser 2, topping out at Summon Monster 8. [br][br]Summon Monster was just an ...

Re: Why is Greater Magic Weapon both a 3rd level spell and a

Is there a reason for that or is it just legazy junk? [br][br]legazy junk. I guess.[br][br][br] Which the sorcerer currently gets later than the Cleric does.[br] [br][br]My point exactly. The sorcerer should have a better Summon Monster, or at a lower level. Otherwise he would be better off just be...

Re: Why is Greater Magic Weapon both a 3rd level spell and a

[br][br]I guess I wasn't clear in what I meant. I also don't think Sorcerers should get Heal. I was talking about spells like Summon Monster. Spells like Heal would go under the 'different spell lists' and 'thematically different' clauses I stated earlier.[br][br][br] [br][br]Well, thematic issues ...

Re: Why is Greater Magic Weapon both a 3rd level spell and a

Hi. I have some thoughts on this issue. Basically, the 'Some spellcasters are supposed to be better at certain things than others.' sentiment is the right one. This is true both thematically and mechanically.[br][br]Thematically, I think clerics should get access to better cure spells earlier than o...

Re: Welcome!

Hello! I am an avid lurker of D&D messageboards and this one finally tripped my trigger. I’ve lurked on WotC’s Min/Max and CO boards as well as Enworld since back when Mr. Ginsu went out on sorties against gangs of marauding Solars. But those messageboards had a ratio of fvcktards to intelligent...
