Long time lurker, infrequent poster, and perhaps soon-to-be former member of this community. But I had to come out of the woodwork for this. I am ashamed of those in this community who give Mentzer the benefit of the doubt, or worse yet, defend his comments (both his initial sexually-aggressive...

As far as inclusion of material from the Silmarillion and other stories, I do not foresee that happening, since Warner Brothers has the rights only to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. And if I recall, the Tolkien Estate (Christopher Tolkien) holds the rights to non-Hobbit, non-LotR...

It would be nice if there were some way to manually adjust all of the final stats and values, particularly attack modifiers. Sometimes you have a house rule to add a plus here or there (or in one case, the Builder did not seem to take into account a plus given from a character trait), and it...

Stumbling upon this thread reminded me of one of the early 4e design and development articles--an article that seemed to particularly excite me toward the prospect of 4th edition. The idea of different wizard implements differentiating different wizardly strengths seemed pretty evocative, and I...

I know it would be a slight departure from the pen-and-paper game, but what if a 4e CRPG were to borrow a bit from some existing MMOs? I think we could easily avoid the problem of daily power recharges and milestones if we moved powers from a per day/per encounter system to a time-based...

Our first foray into 4th Edition (Keep on the Shadowfell through King of the Trollhaunt Warrens). -Osric the Lion (Male Human Ranger) -Ghaelian Diamondew (Male Eladrin Wizard) - Ben Drum (Male Human Warlord) - Guinevere (Female Half-elf Paladin)

After ten pages, I think this thread is seriously at 1/2 hp.

The module is written such that it is possible to bypass the statues without ever knowing they were a threat. I'm not sure how your group missed the riddle short of DM fiat, but the module listed a method to advance the plot if the player's get stumped by the riddle, so maybe your DM just...

I just finished a google search to see if there was any other gms concerned about this brief adventure's riddle. I'm set to gm a game on the 7th and just recieved my adventure book. When I first read through the booklet, I noted that the riddle didn't look particularly inspiring, but didn't...

Appear, O' Mighty Logo!

Yeah! And I certainly voted for the poo option, and my name is not listed in glory up there! What gives?

Edit: Late night double post. Sorry.

Perhaps I am but a lazy, bad DM, but I much preferred the Eberron style Campaign Setting Book to the Forgotten Realms. I felt Eberron held so much more energy, so much more potential than the dry annal style FRCS held. For me, reading the Forgotten Realms campaign gudie was a chore, which was...

I chose poop. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Edit: Oh, no!! The no's outnumber the poops, we need more voters in here, stat!

Actually, to be a bit serious, I myself wouldn't mind a handy stack of "combat action" cards. My girlfriend is a very visual learner, and sometimes struggles to remember all her available actions in combat. (Heck, I sometimes get flustered DMing in the middle of an NPC-rich combat. Having...

Yeah, but at level 5, what you rather do? Cast Fireball once, or do the same trick that the cleric has been doing for the last four levels. Healing 1d8 hp isn't all that enticing when most combat members of your party have between 35 and 45 hitpoints. Especially when it means foregoing doing...

You win on so many levels.

My sentiments exactly. I just finished running my group through the first issue of Pathfinder, and I have to say, Paizo is spanking the pants of WotC at this point.

So only the magic-user players get to do cool stuff? Everyone else at the table has to sit around, bored out of wits, playing Wizard-lapdog? Why don't we just get rid of all the non-magical characters in the PHB. I think that solves everyone's problem. Magic-users are special because only...

Actually, since the game is rated M and thus CAN'T be purchased by anyone underage, that's precisely what I'm going to tell you.
