Has anyone tried to deconstruct the the current Pre-gens so that you could play a human fighter or an elven wizard? My group has had me thinking about this. So far, what we know is that Humans: +1 to every ability score; an additional +1 to an ability score of their choice.* Dwarves: Dwarven...

Playtest Game 06/04/2012 I ran a playtest game with four players. The characters they choose were: Dwarf Fighter Dwarf Cleric of Moradin Halfling Rogue Elven Wizard SPOILER ALERT: I am using Goodman Games DCC module from Free RPG Day last year. The first adventure in that book is "Portal...

While Character Builder is great, I personally prefer to make my Essentials characters the old fashion way, like I have been doing for decades. I roll them up. Now, for Encounters, I am using the specialist array from HotFL just to keep it consistent. For the home games, it's always 4d6, remove...

It looks like for the first time in my 40 years of life, I may be going to Gen Con next year. I have done a lot of searching on the net for tips. I have found all I need concerning eating, scheduling, sanitation, shopping, etc. What I seem to not be finding in the level of detail I am seeking...

To make a long story short, I might be running D&D Encounters at the FLGS. Those of you that know me know I am a staunch AD&D / OD&D guy with lots of experience in those game. Needless to say, I have not DM'ed (or really played of that matter) 4e. So... I have skimmed through the rule books and...

I keep clamoring about what the starter is is not. It is not a Basic set like the ones my generation had back in the early days of D&D. Well, instead of complaining, what if I cribbed together my own version. Well, the truth be told, I have almost no experience with 4e. I don't even like some of...

When I was reading this power I couldn't help but wonder, shouldn't it be that you take the higher of the two rolls? Why would you take the second roll even if it is lower if as an elf you are supposed to have superior accuracy?

Since the Vancian Magic Sacred Cow appears to be almost slaughtered, I was wondering if 4e was going to overhaul spell casting and the whole spell level scheme. I looked all over, both here and WotC boards, but couldn't find the answers I was looking for. 1. Are "spell levels" going to now...

I seem to remember reading someone's post here a while ago, might have actually been a story hour but I can't find it now, where the group was only using the Player's Handbook, not even the DMG or any single monster manual. The theme was that the adversaries were from different kingdoms but only...

I have seen some players on the board from Browns Mills, Pemberton, and Mount Holly to name a few. I live in Eastampton, so many of you guys are close. Are any of you guys interested in meeting up sometime, even if it is not to play, just to have lunch or coffee or something? Even though I don't...

I am looking to contact Philip Athans from Wizards of the Coast, in refernece to his old article on the WotC website, http://www.wizards.com/dnd/DnD_CGT_002.asp Does anyone know how I can reach him via email or message board? I love this article, and had some questions about the actual game...

YES! My Favorite hero of all time will be cracking his whip and whooping Nazis again. http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/31/film.darabont.reut/index.html I have pulled the fedora out of the closet. :D

It was fun while it lasted. :D

In my quest to find a simple RPG, designed for newbies or idiots like me :D, I have seen various game refered to as rules lite or light. My question, what are they and why are they easy on the rules? These are the ones I have seen mentioned from various sources on the web, in no particular...

So, I am over at the Decipher Star Trek Boards. One poster says, "open gaming is the worst thing to happen to gaming ever." I ask Why, just out of curiosity, just to see what the guy's opinion is. Then some other dude responds by insulting me (at least in my eyes, but maybe I took it wrong.) I...

Most influential people in the Gaming Industry. He clocks in at #18 tied with Tolkien, but I think should be higher. That fact that a non-video game designer made the list is quite an acomplishment since the focus of Gamespy is electronic gaming. However, like they said, he put fantasy to a...

I was hoping to archive this thread: Cheap DM Tips But it appears there is no Archive forum. Did it get deleted or am I just remembering the old boards?
