      (con't) I think that the game does need to reward both good Character Building AND good Party Building. I mean, it is fun sometimes to make a special group that breaks from the norm, but part of the reason that is fun is because it does in fact make the whole concept more challenging. A group of all fighters is great in straight combat, but the lack of the other 3 archetypes makes it harder to avoid traps, handle swarms, counter magic, and heal magically, as well as repel undead. A party of all...

      I love playing clerics, but I also like the option of DMing a world inspired by Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones - both settings with lower magic and less healing. Just as Mike Mearls likes to run an all day castle siege, and Chris Perkins a new campaign with lots of political intrigue, I think the basic rules should allow for an easy to use option for non-magical, or more rare, or slower forms of healing. Keep up the good work, Mike - and thanks as always for listening!

      How do I download this issue? I can't seem to find the download button, am I missing it or what?

      I too want to see more of the DM rewards, D&D Encounters, Free RPG day and other impossible to get items. It would also be really cool if some more of the classic modules were converted to 4e.

      Thank you, thank you, thank you for going back to single issue pdf's. I hated the single article format. It took 10 times longer to open them all up and view them if I wanted to read them all. I understand some like only one or two articles but they can easily download the entire issue and extract whatever they want and discard the rest.

      Several months late, I know, but I just noticed that these were back to single-issue compilations. I had gotten so tired of downloading every single article that I had stopped reading and had planned on not renewing my subscription (a Dragon subscription since issue 67 and a Dungeon subscription since issue 1). I now have a bit to catch up on, but I'm much happier with the return to actual issues of the magazines. Thank you!

      Also a player since 2nd ed, and 4e is my favorite for many reasons.
      But as it relates to monsters, the 4e stat block is by far the best, and there is really no reason we can't have that style stat block along with a few good paragraphs of fluff.
      As many other posters have said, the monster vault and threats to nentir vale books nailed this concept perfectly, just copy this format for Next and it's a done deal.

      On board here! The monsters were the thing in 4th ed. that I liked most! But yeah, some monster ecology like in 2nd ed would bring the epic fantasy flavor back.

      Hey Jon,
      Great work that pays homage to a great edition and Mr. Gygax. Recreating a book to match an existing book is MUCH harder than creating one from scratch!!! Your work is appreciated. I run into the same problems that you did recreating a book that has no existing digitals. My non-freelancing, "pay the bills" day job is as a graphic designer at the Center of Military History and occasionally, I'll have to recreate old WWII books that were written in 1945 and are into their 20+...

      Yep, yep! I had to do a similar project involving old newspaper articles. With all the bleed-through, it takes a lot of finesse and judgment to clean up and batch processing isn't always possible. I like the beautiful cover treatment on this re-creation.

      I'm a big believer in "Getting to Yes." Present the options, all the options, to the players, and see what they latch onto. Then build a game around what they are playing. If they want to play a Tiefling, don't screw them over for wanting to play the Tiefling. Build a story that will accommodate that choice. If the player WANTS to have risks involved with the racial choice (because those risks could be a roleplaying MINE, like having to wear robes to disguise a devilish appearance), that's...

      My campaign is quasi-historical, so I'm constantly saying no to races I haven't already distorted history to accommodate. I don't care one way or another about the frequency designations, because it should vary greatly from setting to setting.
