On occasion in the past, my group has voted on a Roleplayer of the Night award....each voting for the best roleplayer or coolest moment of the session by secret ballot. The reward was usually either a reroll or a small amount of xp. Last Sunday, we wrapped up a two year run at Pathfinder's...

I picked up the Red Box today at my FLGS (They are a premier store.) My group has been more of a Pathfinder group lately, but I think the Red Box is a really interesting product. As far as marketing to nostalgic old D&Ders, this looks like a nice product to me. The Player's Book, as you may...

Acerak, that's who! My group chips in for gaming stuff into our "Pun Fund", mostly fines for bad jokes and puns. I picked this up for the fund receptacle. Anyone else raid the Halloween Aisle for gaming stuff?

GenCon Releases 2008 (or releases really close to GenCon 2008) I’ve attempted to put together a list of gaming products being released at or close to GenCon 2008. I’m certain it’s not exhaustive, so please list revisions/additions/deletions and I’ll try to keep up with the changes! RPG...

I'm building a dwarf warlord for a new campaign my group is about to kick off. Seems like I remember an article or list of dwarven warcries in Dragon magazine a few years ago......Anyone remember this or point me to the right issue? As an alternative, anyone have any favorites? I like to have a...

Long time lurker de-lurking for a question. I've seen a lot of speculation/theories that 4E constitutes a more lethal rules enviornment for characters than previous D&D rules. I ran a few 4E preview games and have run four sessions of Keep on the Shadowfell and am starting to wonder if I'm...

I took a crack at building a few characters yesterday and today........I seem to learn rules better that way. A number of calculations feature the 1/2 of level as a modifier. Given the basic rule that you always round down, I figured that the modifier should be zero for a first level character...

************Minor Spoilers************* I received a copy of Keep on the Shadowfell this weekend and had a chance to read through it. One thing I found that I thought was interesting was the section on the town priest. It reads: "Although Linora is not a cleric, she is a non-heroic priest...

One of the designer's stated goals of 4E was to broaden the "sweet spot", so the game would be as fun at higher levels as it is at the lower ones. One of my players and I have talked about statting up a party at different level intervals and having a appropriate level challenge from the...

I was amazed by Kwalish Kid's careful analysis of the recent USA Today article and picture found here........http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2008-04-01-300991490_x.htm# His extrapolation of the Dragonborn rules off the screen was greatness. It also got me wondering......are there any...

Hi folks.....delurking for some brief thoughts on 4E. Our group gave it a shot last night based on the preview information from DDXP and gleaned from these boards. (Thanks to all who've contributed, btw!) I ran a 4E Keep on the Borderlands for 6 players. My group is a long-standing group that...
