Is 4E worth it? What does it have that's better than 3E?

Super glue eventually loses its strength and the things glued just fall apart, right? How long can I expect superglued miniatures to hold together?

What's the best movie out there right now?

DMG pg. 48... The Verisimilitude Rule. Cool, I missed that. But the house rule as written (HRAW) has the further ramification that if the players go off the map, the DM can't just say "sorry, but that part of the world isn't developed yet". It's his duty to make them believe that it is...

Wait until the encounter is over You could always wait until the encounter is over for the audit. This would snip most related metagaming in the bud. transcendation

I think you missed the point... The rule has nothing to do with cheating. It has to do with the suspension of disbelief. That's its entire purpose. It's been my experience that players readily disbelieve if they think you are making it up as you go. But if the world exists before they get...

It had the effect intended... Interesting responses. Thank you, everyone. First of all, let me just say that I was the one who presented this to my players. It's not a demand they made of me, but a demand I made of myself (for their benefit). :) Its effectiveness all depends on how you...

Life trapping? What effect would that have? transcendation

In a palace? The closest thing to a palace in Bissel is the King's castle, and the PCs hang out there all the time. There isn't any place there it could be hidden that they don't know about. Besides, they learned of the deed to the Ranch, though didn't actually see the deed. All they know is...

Drinking vampire blood... ...in my campaign, that's how ghouls are formed (unless you're bitten first). Though both drinking and being injected (via bite) with vampire blood put you under the control of the vampire. transcendation

The Princess of Bissel has been kidnapped by the Mage of the Valley, to be his bride. He swooped in with 6 white dragons and demanded her hand in marriage. To avert the capital being frozen and her father's castle beseiged, the Princess went with him willingly. This is worse than the time...

The Naga Queen of Goodland is escalating her power. Countries are starting to fall like dominoes. The funny thing, none of her forces kill each other, whether they be human, humanoid, or demihuman. She even has dragons mingling in the populace without eating them! So why is everyone outside...

The dragons which the PCs slayed owned a ranch which is still in operation somewhere in the Kingdom of Bissel. It's really a front for a dragon hatchery. The PCs know this, and they want to shut it down. But they don't know where it is, what it is named, or who it is being run by. (Plot...

Iuz was defeated by the PCs but survived (not hard, since he was already dead!). He wants revenge. He has already sent waves of creatures against them and their country - cows polymorphed into the various creature types encountered at Tsojcanth. A replacement body is en route to him at...

The Vampire Kingdom (formerly the Theocracy of the Pale) has joined the Greyhawk Wars on the side of the good guys. (Further plot twist needed). transcendation
