I ordered a set of glow-in-the-dark dice (CHX 23095) and got them a few days ago. While it certainly has Chessex on the box label, at the bottom is says "Dice made in USA by Gamescience"

For my 4e game, I have a small, 8.5x11 white board behind my screen. With small groups of monsters, I try to pick out unique figures. When a monster takes damage, I write down its type and feature, ie -orc/axe or zombie/red. I simply record the damage it's taken. If I have a larger group of...

My homebrew features about five anthropomorphic animal races statted up for 4E, with a few more rolling around in my head. I also allow minotaurs and kobolds. They're all pretty important for the background feel I'm aiming for...

I voted 'other.' I like most types of gaming - RPGs, board games and video/computer games. My fiancee likes board games and some old-school video games, but isn't interested in RPGs or the more involved computer games. We both belong to our city's board gaming club. I'm thrilled that we share...

Hey, some feedback! Thanks, Starfox. Regarding the convoluted mechanism, yeah, I see the point. I was even kind of feeling it a few days after I posted. I personally like making skill rolls for benefits, but attaching it to a power is probably a too much. There would be the let down on a...

Here are a couple of divinity feats I'd like some feed back on. My homebrew is using the Norse gods, and thus the name of the feats. Odin is the god of war and magic, so this one has the feel I'm going for. My questions are - Is it reasonable? If not, do you have any suggestions to fix it...

Here's another one. This guy is part ass/donkey, part human. Basically, a stubborn, medium sized centaur. See: Medieval Bestiary : Onocentaur Gallery Again, any feedback would be appreciated. Onocentaur Racial Traits Ability Scores: + 2 Strength, +2 Wisdom Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares...

Here is a new race I'm designing for my fantasy earth campaign. Think of a Puss-in-Boots type race from folklore (or similar to the one in the Shrek movies). Stereotypes are encouraged, but I want to make it balanced. And, yeah, it's intended to be a little silly. What I'd like is some...

All the heroes are from Hidetown. The only other town we've heard of was Fishtown. Everyone starts with minimum wealth, and everything but leather goods cost double. Awesome campaign from very low beginnings.

For my 'Other' category, I've purchased Keep on the Shadowfell and the Advanced Player's Guide. I've also put a bunch of stuff on my Christmas list (crosses fingers).

I'm a member of two groups: Sunday Group: Playing since 2002 Early forties, male, teacher Mid thirties, male, restaurant worker Mid thirties, female, secretary Late twenties, male, restaurant worker/doctoral student Late teens, male, high school student Playing 4e Tuesday Group: I've played...

These ideas are awesome, Stalker0! I also like some of Alex319's ideas, specifically: Some folks have complained about the relative lack of importance of the Int ability - perhaps base the number of uses per day on the character's INT mod. I'll have to let the ideas simmer a bit before I...

One of my worst experiences was when we started up an acquaintance's 2ed campaign, about a year after 3E was out. That in itself was pretty difficult - felt like going back to calculus class. However, that wasn't the worst of it. I was playing a lawful good ranger. I was basically playing him...

Drooling in anticipation... :p

I'm a teacher, and in the 11 years I've been at my current building, there's been a grand total of one co-worker who even came close to the sub-culture that I enjoy. Unfortunately, he moved on to become an administrator at another building. Around the time Gary Gygax died, the flag outside our...

Tanen, half-elven 1st level warlord, at the hands of Irontooth and his lackeys. This encounter was almost a TPK. Three characters down, only the wizard left. She runs, and tricks the berserking Irontooth into attacking one of his allies. Two PCs roll natural 20s on their death saves in the same...

I recall people discussing something called the 'Wish Economy' or 'Magic Item Economy.' These discussions were for an earlier edition of the game - I'll try to provide a link if I can. It involved the DM maintaining a separate currency for magic items alone. Basically, anything under 15,000 gp...

Hey! I can't comment on the mechanics, but I played the dwarft swordmage at Origins. It was a heck of a lot of fun. While he didn't lay the smack down as well as the others, he had an awesome AC and HP. Was able to get up in the monster's faces. The shielding was nice, but didn't feel overpowered.

Well, the oni errata eliminates (at least one of) the 'no save' situation(s). However, the Conditional Durations/Save Ends rule on p 278 is what I needed to see (well, reminded of) to convince me. Any instance of a power causing sleep is really magical sleep. Only a save will end it. It's...

[Sure, devour soul works on any sleeping target, but wasn't my point ;) ] So, it seems like many of you are saying that when a power states "unconscious (save ends)" that the power is magical sleep and thus the only way it ends, but when it says "unconscious (no save)" it's normal sleep. I'd...
