    13th Age - Secret Icons?

    So I'm about to run a 13th Age Neverwinter campaign, and will be assigning the factions in the book as Icons. The only problem is...what to do about secretive Icons? Have them be available from the start? Have them 'act' as what people think they are? Have them unavailable? A different...

    How do you get your players to creatively describe their combat actions?

    I play 4e, and would love to get the players to get more creative in describing their actions in combat. They're all grognards, been playing since the 80s, but for some reason getting them to roleplay in combat is like squeezing blood from a stone. It's either just saying the power name and...

    Would eliminating almost all Opportunity Attacks speed combat up?

    I wonder...if you eliminated opportunity attacks for the most part except for those that involved marked creatures, would combat speed up? You wouldn't have to worry about whether or not you moved such that you'd get an OppAttack, and it would reduce the amount of extra attacks (that usually...

    A few questions about the DM's Kit

    1. How much overlap is there in regards to the rules between the DM's Kit book and the Rules Compendium? 2. Does the DM's Kit have the 'improvisation' suggestions for Skills like the Rules Compendium does? 3. Are the Rare magic items in the DM's kit just the same as what has already been...

    Monster Vault impressions

    I'm very impressed with the Monster Vault. The tokens are very well done (and I used them last night), though I wish there were more 'Minion' tokens. The upgrades to the monsters are great...especially the solos. I think they've finally figured them out. The Hydras are _nasty_ (and...

    Getting the players interested in the campaign setting.

    So, I run an Eberron campaign (and have expressed to my players an interest in running a Dark Sun campaign). However, it's started to become apparently to me that in general, my players just don't really care about the campaign setting. We could be playing the D&D Core world for all they care...

    Themes in Eberron

    I know that the Players Handbook next year will feature Themes for 'normal' PCs similar to what is shown in the Dark Sun campaign setting. Themes are a great design idea IMO...and fill in a nice niche that was a bit of a void...one that Paragon paths don't exactly replicate. Themes are...

    D&D 4E Prediction: 4e economy will have to change

    Given the news that magic items will be classified as common, uncommon and rare, with the common items the only ones that can be purchased by PCs or created using the Craft Magic Item ritual. This puts the distribution of uncommon items (which is most of the items currently listed) back into...
