I was thinking the other day about how I liked how some of the new E-classes in 4th edition were listed with multiple power sources, and thought I'd fill in the grid. Since I'm not a fan of tying classes too tightly to roles, I figured this could be a better way to differentiate classes in the...

Last night's session involved a simple skill challenge to determine whether the PCs were surprised by a Krenshar ambush as they travelled on a merchant's wagon through a field filled with massive boulders. I'm actually quite happy with the result, so thought I'd share. There was a cold driving...

I worked on this encounter and monster (Yeti sneak) for my group, and we thought it went over pretty well, so I thought I'd share it. It's set along a path through some snowy hills and is formatted as a 1-page, delve style, level 1 encounter. I'd be interested in any feedback.
