    [4e: Nevermore] Big Trouble in Little Oaktown (Recruiting)

    Hello All, I'm the writer/designer of the newly released Nevermore campaign setting (see my signature for more details). I'm interested in running a PbP game using the 4e D&D rules coupled with the Nevermore rules. Since I haven't run a PbP game, I suspect there will be some growing pains...

    [4e] Nevermore Campaign Setting Discussion/FAQ

    Hello All, I'm the author of the newly released Nevermore campaign setting from Expeditious Retreat Press. Some of you might recognize Nevermore as one of the campaign settings that won a spot in Green Ronin's Worlds of Adventure contest for the True20 system. I really enjoyed working with the...

    Any Monkey Island Fans on this Board?

    Hello Fellow EnWorlders, I just got the new Monkey Island game from Telltale Games. Quite funny. ;) If you are unfamiliar with the Monkey Island series... it's a very funny puzzle-adventure game about an inept (but strangely effective) pirate. ;) Anyway, they are asking folks to "design" a...

    Why You Haven't Seen Me Around: Or How I've Spent the Last Year.

    Dear ENWorlders, It's been a while since last you heard from me and the primary reason is because I took the year off from freelance writing and forum posting to focus on my first novel: Avery Mann's Book of Misadventures: Volume I. This book was inspired by the work I did for the World of...

    What is the probability of...

    a single person being an eyewitness to freakish accidents on six consecutive Friday the Thirteenths. I am assuming it is low, but I just wanted to find out the actual odds of this happening.

    What's the effective bonus of a double d20 roll take the highest?

    What's the effective bonus to an attack roll or skill check (d20) where you roll two dice and take the highest? In short, I'm looking for how much the reroll affects the end result on average as expressed as a +<insert number>. I'm trying to reduce rolls and just want to know what bonus is...

    So I've been pondering what my next 4e project should be and I wanted to see what ENWorlders would like to see for 4e.

    What forum would be most appropriate for...

    I am beginning a 4e project (intended for-profit, but no current publisher) and would like to hold a discussion with ENWorlders about what they would like to see in it. The project is to create a Fantasy Backdrop Book with generic and unique adventure locations for use in any campaign (rope...

    Anyone thought about creating a Truce20 board?

    You know a place where dogs and cats... I mean 3e and 4e gamers... can live together in peace and harmony? Perhaps we could get enough money together to purchase www.truce20.org or something... Of course we'd need rules... so what should the rules for Truce20 be? Here's a few suggestions: 1)...

    D&D 4E The Economy of Actions in 4e

    So I've been wondering about the economy of actions works out in 4e since picking up the first three "core books." So far it seems each class has a relatively balanced set of actions each round (Standard, Move, and Minor) with the ability to gain an additional action via an action point. This...

    Scott or Linae: Any ETA on a new 4e D&D GSL FAQ?

    Just wondering when the 4e D&D GSL FAQ might be updated with some of the questions and concerns of the last few days posted here and elsewhere. I wanted to let WotC respond to the questions before making any decisions about 4e and would love to have a "ballpark" figure so I don't feel like I...

    D&D vs. d20 GSL: What's the Difference?

    So here's my question: What will be the differences between the D&D GSL and the d20 GSL? For those who don't know what the d20 GSL is here's an excerpt from one of WotC's Press Releases: Is there the possibility that the D&D GSL is specifically designed specifically for publishers to create...

    SRD Question (for Scott and Linae): 4e References (Mechanics or Mechanics & Fluff)?

    Scott and Linae, Here's another question which might help clear up a lot of confusion: Are 4e references just the mechanics and not the IP ("fluff") of the races, classes, monsters, etc.? When I first read the SRD I was thinking just mechanics, b/c WotC didn't release their "fluff" with the...

    A Novel Question (for Scott or Linae): Settings and 4e

    Scott and/or Linae, I am currently working on a novel that involves the Nevemore campaign setting for the True20 system. If I choose to convert the campaign setting over to 4e and later the GSL is cancelled (such as when 5th edition comes out), then I would not be able to go back to OGL...

    SRD Question (for Scott or Linae): 4e References or just Section Headings?

    So I noticed a lot of people are reading the SRD section headings as 4e Refrences in addition to being a section heading. My question to Scott and Linae is: Are the section headings in the SRD also 4e References, which cannot be defined, redefined, or altered in any way? So are Dwarf, Human...

    So I just got a package the other day from Expeditious Retreat Press... and inside this package was the Big "Bad" Book... otherwise known as the World of Nevermore campaign book (due out later this month and at Gen Con).

    Average Damage of Classes (A request)

    For those more math inclined then I... Has anyone determined what the average damage per round of each class according to their power levels? Or is it too varied and unpredictable? I'm just trying to determine how much damage the PCs deal per attack vs. how much the monster's deal at the same...
