Topic 3: Valentine's Day - Romance in D&D

Submitted by Chad and Rob

Its Valentine's Day weekend. So the question is... can D&D be romantic? Has anyone role-played romance in a campaign? If not, should D&D be romantic at all?

Topic 1: Christmas

Submitted by Rob and Chad

Its almost Christmas! What are your favorite Christmas specials/movies? What Christmas specials/movies do you revile? How about your favorite Dr Who Christmas special (The Christmas Invasion, Runaway Bride, Voyage of the Damned, or other)?

Topic 2: Manual of the Planes

Submitted by Chad

The great wheel is gone! ... Or is it? The new 4e book Manual of the Planes is released. This will obviously have a huge effect on our Elemental game. Has anyone seen the book yet? What do you think of the supposed simpler scheme?

Topic 3: Players Handbook Classes Revealed!

Submitted by Chad
The Powercard sets listed on Amazon reveal the following classes.
Avenger, Barbarian, Bard, Druid, Invoker, Shaman, Sorcerer, and Warden.

Lords of Tyr - Lords-of-Tyr-D&D-Podcast-015

Submitted by Chadarius on Fri, 12/19/2008 - 11:12.

Welcome to the Lords of Tyr D&D Podcast!

We are a Dungeons and Dragons gaming group that has been meeting twice a month since 2002. We now stream our game nights live on the Internet using uStream. Check out our site at http://lordsoftyr.com for more information

Topic 1: Wizard Layoffs

Submitted by Chad

Lots of news and discussion at http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/246174-layoffs.html
So what are the reasons behind this latest round of layoffs? Is it a perfect storm of badness? D&DI delay/failure + bad economy = layoffs? Or is this just business as usual for Wizards (layoffs of big names right after 3e happened as well)?

Topic 2: Druid Preview

Submitted by Chad

Druids level 1-3 previewed on D&DI. As this is D&DI only content, please See attachment pdf for details. The Druid is created anew as a controller through the use of human form for long distance hits and shape changing for close up combat. How does this much awaited class hold up with the information we have from the preview?

Topic 3: Bard Preview

Submitted by Rob

The Bard preview was released a while ago and we kind of skipped over it. So while we are looking at the Druid, Rob thought we should also look back at the Bard before too much time goes by. Does the bard seem like a fun class to play? Did they capture the flavor from 3e? Is it an improvement?

See attached PDF files for detailed Bard information.

Topic 4: D&DI Updates

Submitted by Chad
From D&D Insider #16
"I’m willing to upgrade my previous release date of "early next year" to "very early next year." As I explained in DI #14, that release date will be the first time folks get to see all 30 levels of content and it will almost certainly come in conjunction with a price increase. However, existing subscribers will get the Character Builder added "for free" to the remaining length of their subscription. In other words: lock in $4.95/month now and enjoy a year full of upgrades and enhancements all at that same price. It’s actually a pretty ridiculous value… I know I’m inherently biased on the subject, but especially in economic conditions where everyone is looking to get good value for their entertainment dollar I think "
So it looks like everyone who signs up before the full release will get the "add on" for free for a while at least.

Topic 1: Spooky Roleplaying
Submitted by Rob

Which of the Lord's have played (or ran) the classic module I6:Ravenloft (1st Ed)?  If not, have you played any of its successors?  These could include I10:Ravenloft II:The House on Gryphon Hill (1st Ed), RM4: House of Strahd (2nd Ed), or Expedition to Castle Ravenloft (3rd Ed)?  Any thoughts on these modules?    

Although Lords of Tyr is primarily a D&D podcast, are there any other RPG horror games you have played and enjoyed.  Obviously Call of Cthulu and White Wolf's games would be the big ones, but there were others as well.
Topic 2: D&DI For Pay is now Live
Submitted by Chad
I clicked on http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drfe/20081013 (The campaign items article) this week and was greeted by the dreaded request to sign up for a paid D&DI account. Did anyone else sign up yet?

Topic 3: When Things go Weird. In party combat and out of game reactions
Submitted by Mike and Chad

Our last gaming session ended in an in-party fight and some weird stuff. Was it just role-play or was there something deeper. Let's get it straight by airing our dirty laundry to the world! Also, let's discuss how our 3.5 fans in the group can get some play time as well.
