Are there distinct graphics for each of the variants of a given monster (Goblin Cutters, Blackblades, Hexers, etc.), as there were in the Keep on the Shadowfell -- excuse me, Castle of Shadows -- collection? (Hopefully, more than just differences in coloring like the, um, "Kroothiks".) One...

I'm thinking it would have to be a multi-dial counter (ones, tens, maybe hundreds) to be able to track more than a couple levels' worth of HP. I like the general idea of the strip-based DIY life counters (scroll down) from Healing Fireball Publications, but would prefer a wheel-type implementation.

Has anybody used any kind of wheel/dial counter to track hit points? Better yet, does anybody know of a template for creating such a counter yourself?

Mike Rainey has created a bunch of assorted forms and reference sheets, including a couple of DM tracking sheets you might find useful. There's another initiative tracker linked on this resource page.

So let it be written; so let it be done. http://www.ageoflegend4e.com/

I'm running OpenOffice 2.4 (the portable version, in fact), and PDF generation is baked right in; there's a button on the default toolbar, right next to Print. For that matter, you can choose to save a document in a few different Microsoft Word formats as well.

I think I might allow some degree of cross-class training, but more limited than for class skills, as they were in 3/3.5. As I see it, the general training and abilities of a class lay a foundation for the skills on the class list; without that foundation, learning a skill is more difficult. A...

Very nice. I hope you don't mind if I use some of your explanations for my own DM screen that I'm working on.

Absotively. The cards are a perfect fit for my UltraPro standard-size TCG deck protectors, and I keep a stock of blanks in a MtG-size deck box. Just steer clear of the smaller-sized card sleeves used for Yu-Gi-Oh and the like.

Is anybody around St. Louis interested in trying out the new edition of Dungeons & Dragons? I'm willing to try my hand at running a game, if I can find a few players. In particular, I'd like to put together a group to play on a reasonably regular (weekly or biweekly) basis on some (as yet...

I just created a minor character creation aid for my own use, and I'm wondering if anyone else might find it useful. I wanted a more visual way of choosing ability scores according to the "Customizing Scores" method in the Player's Handbook. I made a board that one could place tokens on to...

Customizable screens I'm surprised I haven't seen more quick-reference aids myself. I have a customizable GM screen (3 panels, landscape format, front and back pockets) created for the Savage Worlds RPG, and I'd love some inserts for that. I've also seen a 4-panel portrait screen for sale...

Considered Harmful Hi, all. My name's Brennan O'Keefe. I'm a long-time gamer (who started playing Tunnels & Trolls somewhere around 1980), though I've been 'between gaming groups' for a while now. I like the look of 4E so far, and would love to find (or possibly even start) a game somewhere...
