  1. @theyusetools I have been known to say the pieces are the best part :)
  2. You'd think people were excited or something.
  3. Search terms today: D&D next playtest, critical hits, D&D next, D&D next playtest document, D&D playtest, dnd next playtest, dnd playtest
  4. @theyusetools Oh yeah, I was reading about some of the weird tax/cash infusion stuff.
  5. @theyusetools Big Huge Games has been going for a while down here too. Sad times all around.
  6. D'oh :( RT @joystiq: Everyone at 38 Studios and Big Huge Games has been laid off, a source told us: joystiq.com/2012/05/24/38-…
  7. @loganbonner That's one of the biggest recurring issues with my writing. I like big buts and I cannot lie.
  8. @SpringaldJack Ah. I still think they need to hear from people who hate it. There's just ways to do that which are more helpful.
  9. @SpringaldJack Oh?
  10. @TheAngryDM I think my "infamous" playtest moment speaks to that: the only way to make it work was to say "cut to several weeks later..."
  11. @TheAngryDM You know you want ability drain. It's not enough to take their HP, you gotta take their stats too. And money. And XP.
  12. @phaezen @TheAngryDM @chattydm TBH I couldn't tell you what the previous rule for recovering ability score was, I just made a call.
  13. @TheAngryDM Looks like they took out the Con drain from stirges. I assume @chattydm's Paladin made a fuss about it.
  14. @loganbonner @olde_fortran Burning Wheel.
  15. @olde_fortran @loganbonner Oh, I was thinking of a different reference, in the DM section about skills, where the DM can say no retry.
  16. @loganbonner I had Comixology before the iPad existed, it wasn't a great experience but not quite as bad as you'd think. #iOSComicHipster
  17. @loganbonner On the plus side, all those apps look WAY nicer than on the iPhone.
