      All that may be true, but admit it - this direction of D&Dnext is rekindling the flames of hope, and nostalgia is beginning to surface. The perfect mix of old and new (or so we hope).
      PS - I love the idea of bounded accuracy, as I feel we are finally going back to role playing rather than knockoffs of video game design bonuses.

      Another good idea; why limit (true) Gorgon/Medusa/Maedar to only humans when you can curse other races too by adding it as a template.

      (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!

      The problem with satyrs being male only is it is not really grounded in any sort of history. Satyrs weren't originally half-goat half men, fauns were and they could be female as well. There was a god and goddess that were fauns. Additionally, though it is more modern (by the 16th century), female satyrs or satyress' became prevalent. If you want to split the genders, include fauns (the O.G. satyr) as the female version, but to not have a classic female version against the role of history and...

      I don't mind the idea of female satyrs (precedent in Fauns, from Roman myth, they were uncommon, but existed), male harpies (just makes sense to me, unless harpies come into being some other way, curse, god-spawn, etc), inccubi (male succubi, precedent in Medieval myth, tho they did have different abilities), maedars (male Medusa, but with different characteristics and slightly different powers), but I am hesitant about male nymphs/dryads. In legend, dryads where just one kind of nymph, and the...

      I like the prehensile tail - I use something like that (in my games Kobolds are deamonlings).
      I don't like the connection to dragons - I don't like the weakest creatures to be tied to the most powerful in some contrived family bond. To be clear, I have nothing against Kobolds. In fact, some of my best monsters are Kobolds! I believe Draconians (Dragon Lance) cover the humanoid-dragon niche quite well.
      Anyway, you forgot to post the picture of a Kobold from 2e - you know, the one with...

      The important part for any undead is a focus on the "rule of three". Why are they undead. What is their desire. How do they naturally expire. Zombies, skeletons, and ghouls are most often times made by necromancers, gods or very corrupt magical areas. Their desires are what their master bids or wonton destruction and death "mindless murder" being the key. They all expire when the magic or power that made them expires. Vampires liches are different in that they either choose or resolve that...

      If a Wight or Wraith kills a living being that being becomes a Wight or Wraith but it does NOT have the ability to create any more of its kind. AKA they are a lesser Wight or Wraith. It keeps the threat of being turned into something so horrible but stops the perpetuation craziness.

      I really like the idea of the "cursed (or blessed) cultist". However, I do not like the idea of these things banding together. One minotaur would be the leader of a rag-tag band of lesser followers (goblins?). A minotaur should be a ferocious beast that commands attention.

      I never liked Kobolds as reptiles, I always preferred the dog people from 2e. Otherwise to barrow from Palladium, I like the idea that kobolds are smart, very smart.
      I'm fine with the other two.

      Orcs were originally chaotic evil (cf Holmes Basic) but became lawful evil in the first Monster Manual. It may very well have been a misprint because editing wasn't exactly a priority when TSR was rushing out its releases (actually nothing has changed - see page XX).

      Yeah, it really feels like they're trying to wash out all 4e influence, when that isn't always good. The healing mechanics in 4e were far superior to any previous edition, and clerics being designed as glorified healing batteries that were pretty much necessary for the party to get anywhere was always bad design. Please don't revisit this mistake.

      Nothing is as bad as the 3rd edition Forgotten Realms Sourcebook. MOST OF THE TOWNS AND CITIES DESCRIBED HAD NO MAPS. The 4th edition was just as bad! It sucked IMHO.
      You must have MAPS of ANY TOWN DESCRIBED! With a few hotspots of the area.
      Now look at FR 2nd edition AD&D almost every city or town had a simple map. The DM could really get us into those worlds.

      The ONE thing I would love to see from D&DNext as far as maps go is for you to hire Brandon Kruse (dandddoodles.blogspot.com/2009/07/fallcr...) to do your maps. These are amazing and the best example of D&D maps I've ever seen. If all of the city/town maps were by Brandon then I'd be very very happy.

      There's something exquisite about putting a D20 in a table-vice and slowly twisting the knob until the die explodes! I've only had to do this once. (If you try this, please use eye protection. It'd be a bad time to get a nat 20.)

      I cast my vote for the Grizzowl. I had always thought of the beast in terms of the Gryphon as a combined creature (not that the Owlbear belongs to Greek mythology).
      Do you plan on illustrating a mating pair, as the original concept indicates? with a lean enough frame on the female Grizzowl, could wings actually come into play?
      The idea of a mating pair should bring potential for more realism with this creature, and it certainly gives great opportunities for DM's who could imagine the...

      I like having some example unique items pre-made in the books. Especially some throw-backs and classics. But they're usually more of a jumping off point for me. I like to design my own items and I don't particularly care for rules (and a chapter thereof) to tell me how to do it "the right way". I generally disregard these rules and generate my ideas. My players enjoy the weapons, items, and artifact I create, and that's the important part. I work hard to make balanced items that don't break...
