I wonder if / how much that app is going to cost. 'Twould be handy for looking up spell descriptions and rules jetsam.
The Denner’s Oath
The Denner, The Denner’s reflection: [in unison] A Denner is unhelpful, unfriendly and unkind.
The Denner’s reflection: With ungracious thoughts...
The Denner: ...in an unhealthy mind.
The Denner’s reflection: A Denner is uncheerful, uncouth and unclean. Now say this together!
The Denner, The Denner’s reflection: I'm frightfully mean! My eyes are both shifty. My fingers are thrifty.
The Denner: My mouth does not smile.
The Denner’s reflection: Not half of an inch.
The Denner: I'm a Denner.
The Denner’s reflection: I... am a Denner.
The Denner: I'm a Denner!
The Denner’s reflection: That's my boy. Now go out and prove it!

It's hard to decide if the "obvious mockup of the technology in an over-produced trailer" approach of Beyond is less or more pathetic than the "amateur video of the devs shot on a two-generation-dated iPhone" approach they took to promote Morningstar.

As far as I can tell, Curse does video, they don't do app-building.

Ergo, this is produced in house by WotC.

Ergo, it's doomed to fail, because the chucklefucks there don't understand that programming =/= hacking fixes upon the kludges put in place to turn the tech demo code into an actual product. See also: MTGO.

So Game of Bones is looking like it'll be a real thing I and few friends of mine will be playing soon.

Character Creation-wise, what all goes into making a Necromancer, what race/traits/background/MagicalItems/ and so on should be taken for the character specifically? I'm aware of Raise Dead & Magic Jar, but with the assumption the game starts with us having our army raised, and Were-whatever Jar'd into, what else?

I Figure if the Party is gonna be all Necromancers, I could possibly save people lot of time by having the Build already pre-built, so they can just copy, and put down their Roleplaying Traits and so on.
What I find wrong w/ 4th edition: "I want to stab dragons the size of a small keep with skin like supple adamantine and command over time and space to death with my longsword in head to head combat, but I want to be totally within realistic capabilities of a real human being!" --Caedrus mocking 4rries

"the thing about being Mister Cavern [DM], you don't blame players for how they play. That's like blaming the weather. Weather just is. You adapt to it. -Ancient History
