I'm working on a 4e Greyhawk campaign and I need to find a map of the Flanaess (ideally a topographical map) which is otherwise unmarked - that is, no place names, borders, etc.. The bigger the better. I'm moving the timeline forward so naturally some things, including some of the landscape...

http://www.gamingsteve.com/ The interview with Chris starts at 48:33 and finishes over an hour later. Most of it is regarding the online content, but there are a couple of 4e tidbits in there - multiple types of Beholders in the MM, at will/per encounter/per day abilities for all classes & NPCs...

From Devil's Due Publishing... THE WORLDS OF DUNGEONS & DRAGONS #1 Written by R.A. Salvatore, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, adapted by Nick Sehley and Neil Kleid, art by various, covers by Tim Seeley and Jeremy Roberts. Featuring tales of Drizzt and Raistlin! Double-sized...

From his latest blog here: "Back to the game: We fought undead and creepy bats. The three encounters broke down thus: four shadow bats, whose special power was partly nullified by our lantern and low-light vision. Then four zombies and two traps, and then two zombies headed by a creepy rotting...

From Christopher Perkins' latest blog... "We're planning to include a fully detailed "starting town" in the 4E DMG. It's a wonderful time-saver for DMs who need a ready-to-play town around which to base a D&D campaign. We tried something similar in the 3rd Edition DMG II with Saltmarsh, and we...

Dragons. It was a little slow this morning so I headed over to WotC’s site and had a look at their latest “Fight Club” entry – Mavarothix, the Gargantuan Black Dragon. Its entry is a tie-in for their new Dragon mini (which btw does look very cool indeed). Then I started to read its stat block…...

Dan Sivils Reports: We got a chance to talk to D&D Associate Brand Manager, Kevin Wilson and other WotC officials today on the show floor about the future of D&D and the rampant rumors on a 4th edition. He did confirm that there is no work being done in the development of a 4th edition that...

I'm sure most of you have forgotten by now but earlier this year I won a character design contest hosted by Kai Lord in which the prize was a painting by Wayne Reynolds! It's taken him a little longer than expected so as a thank you for the wait he created a separate sketch of the character...

I've had some time lately to tweak a few a few of our "lower magic" rules and during this go-around I took a hard look at various ability scores and ways to balance their importance a little better. Charisma, unfortunately, is a dump stat under the new rules (none of our primary classes require...

For a while now I've building a lower-magic variant of D&D for our home campaign and I'm looking for some ideas to revamp the skill system. Now I'm sure that there must be at least some people here who've taken a stab at working out a better balanced, easier to generate NPC system or at least...

As part of the ongoing expansion of our home campaign I'm looking to flesh out a number of remote/exotic locale cities and other settlements. Cliff-side cities, underground (but appropriate for a human settlement), standing stone villages and others of that nature. I'm not looking for anything...

This is a topic which I'm trying to address in a little more "believable" fashion for our new campaign. Although it is a lower magic setting than core D&D, and PC race populations are lot smaller, the world is very rough and tumble and produces a fair number of high level characters. What do...

I'm looking for a little feedback from the group on rating the damage resistance properties for various classifications of D&D creatures vs. the 3 main weapon damage types - slashing, piercing and bludgeoning. This is a little different how D&D rates damage resistance now but I am looking to...

I thought I'd tap the board for a critique on this class for balance, suggestions for possible improvement, etc. This class was created for our low-magic Norse/Rune themed campaign where magic is rare and I wanted a wizard who was geared towards a lower-magic setting without nerfing his overall...

An "ingame" trailer can be found at http://www.gamershell.com/news_BGreyhawkBtrailer.shtml Very... Baldur's Gate and uses the 3.5e rules. Looks sweet! :) OT, I just noticed that Half-Life 2 will be out Sept. 30th! Some cruddy magazine scans of screenshots can be found here...

I don't know if this has already been posted here but if not... have at it! :D Cheers, A'koss.

This is the latest revision to the new core classes in our post-Ragnarok campaign. The "Warrior" is essentially an amalgamation of the Fighter, a bit of the Barbarian, the Ranger and a little of the Monk. IOC, there are 5 core classes - the Warrior, the Rogue, the Talist (wizard), the Druid...

I originally posted this on rgfd, but I thought it'd interesting to what ideas could be generated here. Some background... Although I'm passing on DM duties to another in my group I'm still going to help in world creation. I'm just getting back to deities of our new campaign and could use some...
