    D&D 4E Get WotC 4e's Online Character Builder to work or get a sub

    Hi! I've been using the DDI builders and resources and just discovered they're going away. I cannot find a good link to a replacement - they are all parked and redirecting to ad sites, or just dead. Should I go to the Discord, or does someone here know what to search for to find a good...

    Phineas's Dungeon Maps o' the Week (100 maps)

    The PC on which I had been carrying Phineas' map archive finally went and died. I am recovering the hard drive, I think, but in the meantime I was hoping to re-download these... any chance someone has the archive and is willing to share?

    Playing the same character since 1985? Gwah?

    I am running a game that started in 2006. All of the players are playing their original characters with the following caveats/exceptions: The campaign originally used True20 rules. We switched to 4e after a 9-month break to play Star Wars Saga Edition. 4e scratched the right places for most of...

    Hasbro/Zynga Partnership

    No, no - Hasbro will sell board games based on Zynga properties. However, the initial game comes with only one playing piece and an 8x8 board. To play with additional pieces you have to send Hasbro $1.99 for one piece, $2.99 for three, or only $5.99 for eight more pieces. An extra board that...

    Arg, Too Many Monster Stat Blocks

    I run with a laptop and save old monster builder critters as HTML and save as DDI critters into the same folder, then open the monsters I need for each encounter in new browser tabs. There's also a fantastic Flash app for creating cards that someone posted here for feedback about a year ago...

    Chris Perkins doesn't use Passive Insight

    5) I require my player to roll behind my screen or in a box or cup or something to preserve the mystery. I don't screw them, but I don't want them knowing for sure -and they appreciate the uncertainty, generally knowing they've succeeded or not through my description. I'm still catching up to...

    DM experience with dragons

    So many questions, and I am so lazy. Sounds like the OP is doing it wrong - unless the players are attacking low-threat dragons, in which case the OP is doing something else wrong (namely, letting the parents or elder dragons let their youth be slain...). Next time, make sure the dragon has a...

    Artificers in the Realms article

    FF, IE, and Chrome (latest versions of each) fail for me when attempting to open it. Edit: for me

    Campaign Maps now on sale from Gale Force Nine

    Can we get them rolled rather than folded? I will pay extra for that.

    Whats so special about the Far Realm?

    Reminds me of my Shadowfell: trees with arms and hands instead of branches and leaves, grass of short, thin fingers (children implied). Perhaps I am reflecting a Shadowfell corrupted by the Far Realm?

    Drums of War HD for iPad now available

    I'm not seeing the crash, but I *am* eagerly awaiting monster imports. Building an encounter is a useless feature without the ability to import - or even reference - monsters, since I don't use PCs as opponents for my PCs.

    Miniature Needed: Male Longtooth Shifter Warden

    Hi, Sorry, I was in a rush and guess I wasn't clear enough. I am very familiar with both lines of minis - Reaper and D&D - and there's no easy match. I might be able to make Reaper Miniatures :: OnlineStore (3397 @ Reaper) work, he seems more in the spirit than Cardolan, and I'm already...

    Miniature Needed: Male Longtooth Shifter Warden

    Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for a miniature to represent a male longtooth shifter warden with a warhammer or maul. Reaper has some interesting choices and I'm not afraid to kit bash. I've been thinking: Reaper Miniatures :: OnlineStore (chopped for a warhammer from a weapons kit) I'm not...

    Off-line Character Builder and the Skill Power Feat

    And so it does, Peraion. Thanks, I think I had the human feat selected.

    Off-line Character Builder and the Skill Power Feat

    Hmm. Skill Power appears in the Retraining tab - thanks, Tony, I didn't think of that. I wonder why it doesn't appear in the main feat list, though. Thanks, Sam. I was a subscriber until the online CB came out and the character is trained in Endurance. Thanks, Ket

    Off-line Character Builder and the Skill Power Feat

    Hi, I have a player who previously chose Skill Power and now we can't seem to a) find it and b) assign it to his character. He can access the power (Endure Pain) just fine as an option for his second level utility powers. Am I missing something or was the feat errata'd away before the last...

    Speeding Up Combat #2 - Blame the Players!

    Since I ordinarily find myself in alignment with Prestidigitalis, I have to review my ways. I note, too, that no carrot was offered after dismissing the stick. I get to this point when I've already exhausted the "these people are next" and requested that they be ready when their turn arrives. I...

    Speeding Up Combat #2 - Blame the Players!

    I find the biggest problems with a slow-feeling combat is the players who a) do not know what they're going to do and b) the players who can't recall their numbers or what to roll When the players know who is up next and they still aren't ready, I give them some tough love and count down from...
