    Requesting input on Arena PBP format

    Under this format, I wouldn't be booting anybody. There would not be a 'leaderboard' or any other impetus for competition - the competition would simply be to see how high your team can go (3 consecutive losses = mandatory retirement, which I didn't mention in the original post). So really, if...

    Requesting input on Arena PBP format

    Greetings. I've been wanting to run a 4E pbp game for a couple of months now, and have finally decided to run an arena campaign. I've already developed the arena system I'll be using, as I run it IRL. However, I would like some input on converting it to online play. The basic concept is that...

    Quicker way to PBP - Would this interest you?

    I've been toying with an idea to speed up the glacial pace of combat in PBP games. This borrows heavily from the Core Coliseum on the WotC boards, and is something of an amalgamation of the conventional PBP format and the moderated battle format used in the CoCo. The basic idea is that the...

    [Ranger]Twin strike misunstanding ?

    Superior cover or total concealment are also -5, and other situational modifiers could apply as well. So never say never. Kinda discouraging that Careful is so inferior though. I made a human ranger because I liked Careful, Twin, and Nimble. I suspect there might still be situational uses...

    So I broke down a bought the official power cards

    After experimenting with various solutions to powers, from writing them all down, to printing the character builder cards, to downloading user-made card-sets, to printing out complete power lists from Ema's site (which has since been C&D'ed it appears) our group has not found an ideal solution...

    D&D 4E Running a solo 4e game - is it possible?

    Hi I am currently running two campaigns, each with a single player. One guy is running three characters (a Dragonborn Pally, a Human Wizard, and an Eladrin Rogue). He has been through all of H1 and is about 25% of the way through H2. I reduced encounters proportionally and it worked out...

    D&D 4E Issues with 4e character sheets...Not cool WotC...just not cool...

    'Not cool' is an understatement. This product is a blatant rip-off, and that is exactly how I felt after opening it. Sigh. I really wish another company owned D&D. Pretty much any other company.

    When will WOTC clarify the Stealth rules?

    Absolutely not. The stealth rules hinge on ambiguous phrasings that people are interpreting in all manner of ways. This is coming from the perspective of a DM that has already wasted too much time at the table trying to figure out the proper way to adjudicate stealth consistently. I don't...

    (saves ends both) Question

    Even if the circumstance can occur, it isn't problematic. Simply make one die roll and apply modifiers independently for each condition.

    Is there any way to get Dungeon without Insider?

    Bah, acknowledging something exists and advocacy are two different things. I didn't advocate squat. But I digress. It's your house and I will have to respect your rules and your decision to censor me, much as I find it unpalatable. I won't broach that subject again.

    I made a DM Screen

    Very nice, thanks! My guess is that this screen will be more useful than the official one by an order of magnitude. PS - Visited your site and I like your artwork. I love the Bluespawn Godslayer.

    I made a DM Screen

    I think it would be handy if each table had a book-and-page reference listed, for those times when you need to refer to the book for more information.

    Eldritch blast with sneak attack.

    >...i purchase a Pact blade at 680G That's 680 gold + 10-40%. ;) Looks otherwise solid, by a strictly pedantic reading of the rules. Is it in the spirit of the rules? Was it intended? Meh, not so sure. But I'd probably allow it. The rules don't state that Use = Stab. They should say...

    What exactly is a Grognard?

    Not even close. Grognard is a wargamer term that has been co-opted and twisted by RPGers until it has lost any specific meaning with regard to RPGs. In wargaming, it still refers to a long-time avid wargamer - somebody who has made wargaming their lifelong hobby. And WWII is far and away the...
