...and go bug the WotC guys about the deluxe edition core rulebooks in October. Specifically, whether: 1. Those hideous grey covers on the product list on the WotC website are what the books will look like. 2. The deluxe books will incorporate the current errata. Thanks!

These are things that DMs will need to know for the module, but were left out from the rules in the module. Immediate Reactions (for the Kobold Dragonshields) Reaction: An immediate reaction lets you act in response to a trigger. The triggering action, event, or condition occurs and is...

Can anyone with access to the core books chime in about whether KotS's rules are properly 4e, or if they're stripped-down to simplify gameplay? I recall the introductory adventure box set for 3e, and some of the monsters and rules were very bare-bones. My gaming group's going to be using KotS...

I've had a nagging discontent in the back of my mind with the new Star Wars game, and with the things that I'd read about 4E, and I never could put my finger on just what was bothering me... until recently. Suddenly things snapped into perfect clarity: 4E is a game. "Well, DUH," you're...

Good weekend all, I'm in a debate at the moment about spellcaster balance, and am attempting to back up my assertion that clerics are by far the most powerful class in the game. I want to be rock-solid with my proof, however, so I wanted to solicit the opinions from the living database. The...

After reading through the torrent of glowing reviews, I trundled on out to the nearest B&N with an eye towards picking it up. I grabbed the copy, sat down in a comfy chair, read for an hour, then put it back. It had utterly failed to spark any excitement. Thing is, I don't understand why. On...

Hey folks, I happened to think today, 'Hey, what happens if a mage tries to Disintegrate someone's sword? It's a ray and all, so by all accounts it shouldn't be hard to target an item...' So I searched around in the rules. The only thing I could find was a discussion of melee-range Sunder...

I have a story to tell. It is a long story, a wretched story, and, ultimately, a sad story. There are several D&D games being run in the local area amongst a fairly large group of people. Ravenloft and Forgotten Realms campaigns switch off on Tuesdays, and a Planescape game happens once or...

...for a 6th level ranger loup-garou. (A bigger, nastier werewolf for the Ravenloft setting.) I want it to be a good challenge for an 11th level party, and am taking advantage of its large hybrid form to have it dual-wielding a greatsword and a longsword, which should make a good dent in some...

Sci-Fi is canning the series at the end of the fourth season, and are apparently planning to destroy the sets in one week. There is very, very little time for fans to save the show, so any action needs to be taken immediately. This bulletin board has all the details. It has the chat...

One of the players in our game managed to get the DM to let him have a custom class. It's a very long manifesto, and it might not be able to fit on here, so I'll provide linkage to the original files right off the bat. Class description Spell List We're talking along the lines of twenty...

I was just filling out a character sheet for this weekend's game when it occured to me that the sheet was just plain ugly. It was the WotC sheet, and the best looking one I'd seen for 3E stuff, but it was still boxy and had lots of space wasted for junk I'd never use while the things I did need...
