I hear a lot of people talking about "X would make a great module." What needs to get made into a module sooner rather than later? I personally would want an alternate XP system put in place pretty quick: XP for treasure, quests, plot points, but no monsters. What do you think?

There has been a lot of comments along the lines of "DDN looks pretty good, but it will definitely need X as a module." I was going to put together a poll about what type of modules people would expect and want. But my list seems pretty short :( Can you help? What should I add? What should I...

I tweeted the following question to Greg Bilsland and he retweeted it for responses. I thought it would be worth asking here, too. Which edition represents the ideal version of each core class. Here is a template: Fighter: Cleric: Rogue: Wizard: And here is my opinion: Fighter: 4th Cleric...

Whoa, all this talk of 5e made me suddenly remember the 2e book Player's Options: Skills & Powers. Did anyone else use it? It has some neat options that could be how rules modules would work in 5e. I remember thinking (at the time) that splitting each ability score into two components was...

Over my gaming career, I've only been involved with a handful of campaigns that actually finished. I DM'd two of those. It was immensely satisfying to run through an entire story arc, but practically I can't DM a 20+ level campaign any more. I find myself less motivated to DM, though, without...

We've tossed around the question of whether Enworld (or more generally, any forum) represents the true user base for RPGs. Mostly without any data. Maybe the following is relevant (hang with me, TL; DR. version a bottom). Ben Cousins, a general manager for a free-to-play video game division of...

While most of the positives/negatives of Revenge of the Giants were thoroughly hashed out here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/272045-d-d-4th-edition-against-giants-vs-revenge-giants.html I am a little bit stumped about something. MILD SPOILERS BELOW My PCs have...

Borders Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection - WSJ.com Bankruptcy doesn't mean they'll disappear, but: "The company is launching a strategic review of its locations with the aim of closing underperforming stores." I wonder how much RPG material goes through Borders nowadays?

I've been DMing Revenge of the Giants using MapTools for a few months (in 4e). Once I got over the learning curve, I am really enjoying using it for combat. The part that has been the most help is condition tracking! OMG, paragon level conditions are so crazy. At one point last night a monster...

It has been a little while since the virtual tabletop (VTT) beta was announced for DDI. Does anyone know what the timeframe for VTT is? Months, a year, or years? I assume it will be out within a year, but the various reports indicate a lot of the functionality still isn't enabled.

So, Mike Mearls got called into a meeting in the middle of the latest WotC podcast and was absent for the second half. I see this as a perfect opportunity to wildly speculate about the cause, hopefully with humorous effect. My guess? It wasn't a meeting at all. The new sculpts for the minis...

This is a follow up to the Best RPGA Adventures poll started here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/255313-best-rpga-adventures.html Several adventures have come out since the last poll. Which of these would you recommend to other DMs or players? It would probably be useful...

As a companion thread to: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/255313-best-rpga-adventures.html What were your least favorite Living Forgotten Realms adventures? Even if you just read it and said "Yuck" and didn't run it. (That's me and AKAN 1-1.) Dedekind

I've started running some RPGA adventures for my group and I am curious which ones people think are the best. Picked from a thread from the WotC boards, which of these Level 1-4 adventures did you like a lot? If Other, please specify. Please respond if you played or DM'd it. This list is almost...

Overview: Martial Power provides new options for the four classes using the Martial Power. Each class has one chapter devoted solely to new builds, new paragon paths, and new powers. There is also one chapter containing feats for all martial classes, as well as new martial epic destinies. The...

So Monte Cook doesn't seem pleased about the 4E licensing (near the bottom): http://montecook.livejournal.com/140809.html I can understand, but he just spent the preceding X paragraphs explaining how he loved the PDF distribution. It seems that he is on the leading edge of a low cost way to...
