Just opened up a new store in Aztec, which is not too far from Durango, CO. Looking for some gamers and to hook gamers up with each other. Give me a shout at passgogames [at] mac.com

Anybody notice the ability scores for these sample characters? Adding up the ability totals, I got 78 total points, 79, 78, 79 and (more troubling) 75. It would seem like point buy is straight points, no upward adjustment for higher scores. There would be no need because all characters depend on...

I was checking stuff out at Wizards yesterday and ran into the Dreamblade minis. I hadn't heard of them before so I checked them out. I thought they were freaking awesome! I especially liked the one called, I think, Doomball. It is very reminiscent of the orbs from the Phantasm movies. I don't...

Will there be any mechanical difference between a 10th level Fighter who chose Wizard Training at first level and a 10th level Wizard who chose Fighter training at first level? Universal progression of BAB, saves, benefits & powers. Universal hit points? Maybe. There might not be any difference...

As somebody who never really used WOTC gods, can you give the rundown of the similarities/differences of Torm and Tyr? What will it mean for the core game world?

From the 4E PHB blurb, it sounds like prestige classes may be supplanted by paths in paragon levels and destinies in epic levels. It could just be fluff, but it sounds like it might be actual crunch. My question is, when my character hits 11th level and gets to choose a path, are his path...

In the various playtests reported so far, there seem to be quite a few criticals going on. Even taking out the confirmation roll, there seems to be more than 1 in 20. Has anything come up that accounts for so many crits?

Seriously, was there any possible announcement of the mystery race that wasn't going to met with calls for drawing and quartering WOTC? So the race will be dragonborn. How bad can that be? I would have liked gnomes in my PHB, but apparently I am a minority. So I deal with it. Okay, start the...

The article on terrain: Doomspore (Any) Usually found in large, natural caverns, this fungus takes the form of a clump of toadstools, some of which reach a height of about 3 feet tall. A square of doomspore is difficult terrain and provides cover to anyone standing within. If any creature...

Me and my good buddy are finally going to make the dream come true and open a game shop (of course we both will still have to work elsewhere for actual money :( ). We were inspired to go forward because of 4E coming out, seemed like a good time to get into business. Our plan is to not buy any...

The players in my game are coming to a major story point. They just finished slaying the undead dragon rat god beneath the temple, but managed to arouse several different factions to action. So after the last session, the group is about to enter the main worship area of the temple. There will be...

We just got the word on static defenses and how some will be used. It mentions that any time you would need to touch a character, you roll against his Reflex instead of his Armor. I can see some characters, rogues especially, that have a higher Reflex than Armor and are thus harder to hit with a...

Read this houserule on the forums, tried it in my game and loved it. All charged items (mostly wands), have a "charge die" instead of a set number of charges. A wand will start out with a d20 charge die when created. When you use it, roll a d20. On a 1, it goes down a die to a d12, then d10...

I don't buy books regularly. Since 3E came out, I bought 4 core 3E rulebooks and that was it until 3.5. In 3.5, I bought 4 core rulebooks, 5 "Complete books", a couple environment books. All told, in the 7 years of 3.X, I have spent way more money on simple internet access than D&D. So, with...

Should 4E simplify weapons by abstracting them a little more? For instance, have Small, Medium and Large sizes, then Bludgeon, Pierce, Slash, then Simple, Martial and Exotic? Couldn't every weapon be described in both form and bonuses this way? A longsword is Medium. It slashes, so threat is...

Please, please, please include a pronunciation guide for any words that cannot be found in the dictionary! When my wife and I were discussing the new races in the PHB, we got into a argument as whether the Tiefling rhymes whith Thief-ling or Fife-ling.

So, the new edition will definitely have something called "siloing" for magic casters. The idea being that a wizard, for example, would have groups of spells and spell-like abilities that he memorizes for at the beginning of the day and must follow whatever restrictions each of his "silos"...

Good afternoon! I run a homebrew, Realm of 100 Gods. One of basic tenets is that although gods die and new gods are created, there are always 100 gods. Of course, you still have your snake cults, dead god cults, dragon worshippers, etc. I have all of the gods, their domains and their names...

In the game last week, I was running off-the-cuff because I spent all my time making maps and no time making an adventure to put with them. So, I more or less guide the players to a ruined city. They had a combat, then explored a temple that had been explodiated a long time ago. Instead of an...

We just started a new game this last weekend. I'm the DM. I didn't prepare anything because it wasn't sure what the game would be. So, I pulled out an idea that I had mulled over. During character creation, I started up with essentially this: You wake up to a light, cold rain falling upon you...
