How many encounters do you find you can handle before you are completely out of powers, spells and the like?

This may belong in the other thread but... I am creating an adventure for four PC's of 4th level. I have searched and maybe I just can't see it, but I wanted to know how many encounters can PC's handle before they need an extended rest? For the first encounter I have created, I have spent my...

CityTV has actually moved to Yonge and Dundas Square by the Eaton's Centre. I also am a huge fan of Hairy's and I can't stand the Silver Snail anymore. They have no clue what they are talking about and, IMO, they have gone trendy. *shudder* There is a small place out in the 'Shwa called...

Where the hell are all these female gamers? I have only gamed with three in about 17 years. There must be a secret society of women who play D&D somewhere near here. Hidden deep in a jungle perhaps?

Thanks so much for posting this. I was debating whether I should get a subscription or not. Now the credit card is being dusted off and ready to go.

Back in the day, my mum and dad were pretty happy that I was reading, number crunching and hangout with my friends in a safe place instead of in a park or in a ditch somewhere. Today, I try to keep it from my parents. I learned that along with the educational side of things, my parents felt...

Totally agree and I do this. However I haven't used this outside of a skill challenge and I should. I agree with this aswell. The problem is that they don't solve the problem in character and act as their characters would. If they did then I would have no problem with it at all. Instead I...

I think they are enjoying the game. However, when we first started playing I felt the role playing was much better than it is now. Reason being that the PC's were driving the story more. Getting into trouble in town, exploring things that I never thought they would. Now they seem very content to...

I have a problem that I once again need some opinions on. I DM for a group of three players. All are my longtime friends. Recently, even with the change over to 4e which I thought would breathe new life into our group I find myself coming back to the same old problem. I feel that my group...

What about Find Familiar? Is there a Ritual for that somewhere else?

Again thanks to everyone. With the Pro's and Con's (and the fact the books went on sale near me) I went out and bought the core 4e books and have begun reading them and highlighting the cool parts over the phone to my players. The reaction has been mixed. One player seems really excited, the...

Well everyone has given me a lot of information and things to talk about with my players. I have spoken to them and I know that one is on board and one other is thinking that 4e is too "dumbed down". Although his arguements mostly revolve around things that would let him have more fun. ie...

Wow. Everyone thank you so much for all of the input. Great idea about the free mod. Love it and going to try and run it soon. I do feel that 3e is getting old and crusty. Not very excited about playing. Mostly because everything takes so long to get through. Doug> Long live the...

Awsome. This is good stuff. What about the races? Is combat any easier to learn? What about magic? What the heck are these surges all about so on and so forth. Thanks everyone

Crothian> My party loves the hack and slash, treasure, and general adventuring. i would say that role playing is important but, sometimes not at the top of their list. Jack> A great point. Is it the rules? I am looking for the gritty gritty details. The nuts and bolts
