      I run a Virtual Table campaign called Chronicles of Eberron. Just Friday we ended our 8th session. It took all 8 weeks to complete our first adventure and since we play 4-5 hours at a time that's something like 36 hours. In all that time we rolled initiative for combat 6 times. I would estimate we averaged 1.5 hours of combat time when the dice started hitting the table. The rest of our time? Roleplaying. Long story short, that's about 27 hours of it. (And I have 21 pages of hand written...

      The whole game is Roleplaying but that is a bit glib. When in combat it is more about tactics and the minutia of the second my second rounds. It's not dissingenuous to make a distinction between the two aspects of the game. On the one hand you are talking in character and deveopling the connections to the world on the other you are moving minis round a board talking about combat advantage and squares.
      So they may not be opposite but they are most often kept seperate.

      Hey - as someone who has DM'd since the 70's (creak!) I wanted to mention this is great news. I can still recall when "read this text" boxes first appeared in the B* series way back when, so have watched this evolution as it happened. My opinion still is that the original Ravenloft was one of the better formats - just enough story and crunch in a good mix.
      I definitely feel the disconnect from the story that you mention by having the tactical encounters in a separate section or separate...

      I'm debating renewing my subscription, and I will admit to being one of those DMs who deeply disliked the encounter format for the reasons Mr. Cordell described above. As a non-subscriber though, I won't be able to see the changes made in "Going Ape" unless it is made available to me. Is it possible we might be able to preview the adventure or have it be made a non-subscriber piece; I believe I'm pre-disposed to liking the new format, but the opportunity to look over the article would help me...

      I certainly hope that the developers aren't that unfamiliar with their own game.

      Ha! For those who don't know, the Wandering Damage System was an old Dragon article, apparently being brought back for the 400th issue, that cut the middleman (the monster) out of the damage-to-players equation.
      It had a Limb Loss Subtable and everything.
      Just wait. It's a great article.

      I would like to know the theme names from Character Themes: Born of Shadow. Just so my players can decide, based on the name, if they want them, since we are choosing themes tonight.
