A graphical representation of Rule of Cool
Click to enlarge. You know you want to.
These two-bladed sword/nunchuk tonfa weapons make absolutely no sense whatsoever, yet they’re totally effin’ cool and completely in the spirit of D&D. In a grittily realistic game, I wouldn’t allow them but as this is D&D I say Bring ‘em on!
Oh yeh.

D&D has, in its time, visited many places and had many settings. We’ve had D&D in space (Spelljammer), set in desert lands (twice – Dark Sun and Al-Qadim), the Far East (Oriental Adventures) and on the plains of the horse clans (The Horde – remember that?).

One of the biggest innovations (or perhaps that should be re-innovations, as some of these elements were also present in previous editions) in Fourth Edition D&D has been the broadening of character generation. Your character is no longer a simple Race/Class combo (though he can be just that, if you want him to be) but

Here’s a quick question to throw into the shallow duckpond that is the internet: what Race/Class combos would best represent the A-Team, were they transplanted into the realms of Dungeons & Dragons?

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter. – “Riddles in the Dark”, JRR Tolkien The answer, as any fan of The Hobbit will tell you, is “Dark”.

Oh, poo. Here I am partway through putting together one epic scene. It’s getting late so I hit Render just so I’ve got a work-in-progress shot and walk away, leaving my little netbook chugging to itself. Of course, I forget to save the scene. After all, I’m coming back to it in the morning, and

I disagree.
Purely subjective of course, but one man’s cool is another man’s goofy. And there is no rule of goofy.
