I missed the window as well.

I hadn't played for many years, but a friend convinced me to join a group that he was in playing in. Each week, I drove 2 hours each way to play, but I was excited to play again, and I enjoyed the Midnight setting in which we were playing. Since I was just getting back into gaming, the GM of...

Thursday Knights is excellent IMO. Thursday Knights 4th edition.

Would you also stack disadvantage? I think I would. Shooting a crossbow at a hidden target while leaping over a pit while intoxicated should be difficult (rolling 3d20 take lowest). But does it tamper creativity?

Double post.

If I'm understanding this correctly, in a battle with 2 goblins: a guard (AC12) and his chief (AC19), advantage against the guard gives me a +5 or so, whereas advantage against the chief only gives me a +2 effectively. It makes sense that the tougher opponent would be more difficult to hit, but...

I'm liking this idea. I haven't looked at the math, but here's a thread discussing the topic: http://www.enworld.org/forum/new-horizons-upcoming-edition-d-d/317623-my-theory-5es-core-mechanic.html

I would favor additional dice as well. Haven't done the math, just spitballing, but something along the lines of: apprentice = 1d20 journeyman = 1d20 + 1d6 expert = 2d20 (take higher) master = 2d20 (take higher) + 1d6

Rather than the riders taking effect on a certain die roll (16-18 e.g.), perhaps tie it to exceeding the target's defense by a certail score: beat target defense by 2 or more = class A rider beat target defense by 5 or more = class B rider etc. Also, maybe some riders need to meet certain...

I prefer 3 tiers, maybe a 4th for mundane (as decribed up thread). One idea I've been mulling is to have each of the 3 tiers correspond to the number of d20s to roll on attacks/skills, take highest, to model the PCs increased ability, but keeping the numbers down: Heroic - 1d20 Paragon - 2d20...

Not that I could do better, and the making of a logo is difficult, but honestly, I didn't care for any of them. Either the letters were too blocky or the font was difficult to read, or didn't evoke any emotion. IMO. I might choose 7 if pressed. Looking at them all side by side in the...

I'm sure it's been brought up before in debates for a wound system, but separating out wounds from HP could also help balance cases such as falling from a 50 ft cliff. A fall such as this could partly affect wounds rather than simply draining HP and just being a bump to high level PCs.

I'm liking this idea, plus Kid Snide's observation that it separates out two types of healing, which if a Cleric is able to heal HP and Con damage, they may not be as forced to be a healbot when someone's HP is low. Just throwing out ideas: When first bloodied - 1d6 Con damage When first at 0...

For an actual play podcast, I have found www.thursdayknigths.com to be excellent.

Currently have 3 players and a DM with the campaign starting up in September or so. Could use 1 or 2 more.

Awesome. Thanks for the contest. Crosses fingers. /rampage

Looks like the next 2 are up on YouTube.

Looking to either join or start a 4E game in the Brunswick, ME area, preferably with adults in their 30's/40's, mature, and well-adjusted with social skills and lives outside of gaming. I have not played 4E before, but do have experience playing AD&D when I was younger, and am looking to get...

I think it's still a free download from Dragon, but there is an adventure called Last Breaths of Ashenport that you may be able to yoink a couple encounters from. Not sure about the level, but I think it is the ballpark. I've only read through it, but if I remember correctly, a couple missing...

May be able to rip from the movie Angel Heart as well. The main character is hired to investigate a missing person (I think) and after he interviews various suspects, they are reported dead. It is revealed at the end that he was the one doing the killing. The person that hired him was also...
