I am an FR noob. Help me understand the state of things as I begin a brand new Campaign in Neverwinter for my crew. I don't have an axe to grind, I just want to make sure I understand the setting as published because I want to avoid contradictions if I have to research or explain something or...

I will be putting together a short (heroic plus a few levels maybe) campaign that starts in Neverwinter. The Nw setting material is on the way to me. I have and have perused the original FR guides. Before I tackle NW, are there any contradictions I should look out for as I go through the...

I am fitting the topic here because I suppose it is general enough, but specifically the perspective I am looking for is from those "familiar with" & "with an affinity to" 4e anyway. Please and please, I don't want to start in on an argument about which is superior, "just some facts and...

Two part question: 1) Would it be against current license to post a bunch of pre generated characters in pdf format on some version of WotC formatted character sheets? (eg essentials format or original format sheet) on ones website? 2) If not, does anyone know of such a library online? I...

I have only the RC and DMB convenient at this time, and I could not find this addressed although it surely must be somewhere: I seem to recall that "creatures know the conditions that they are subject to". Regarding auras, however, I have two questions about how others handle them: 1) Do...

I really like premade poster battle maps*, and decided to try and document all the licensed 4e battle maps that Wizards of the Coast has released. Partially, I want a one stop location that I can reference all the maps available so that when I need a setting I don’t have to look through...

I've a minor question for DMs who've run Shelter. [spoilers obviously] [stop reading if you are a player....] Near the end, the party enters the pyromancer's tomb. In one of the antechambers, there is a large bas relief dragon "portal" that leads to the actual sarcophogus of the...

I have a current model double sided mega mat from Chessex. (I like it so far). I seem to recall seeing - somewhere I can no longer find - images or video of what appeared to be a thicker chessex (one inch square grid) mat . It was at least twice as thick as my chessex megamat. The...

I have .jpg format maps for the first two 4e WotBS adventures, but it seems that, starting with adventure three, they only come in pdf format. Are they available anywhere in .jpg? This is not a huge deal, but it is slightly more convenient for me to use them in jpg format than pdf.

Potential spoilers and all that ... I am just looking for ideas or out of the box thinking below: For reasons both meta and in game (my party is just a tad short on XP)* we could use a nice tight delve that takes place just as the heroes are leaving the swamp, before entering Seaquen...

I do not read much fantasy literature but I am in the mood to start reading a series. Recommend a fantasy series for me (starting with book one) and convince me it is the right choice. I will give a few clues/rules: No modern setting stuff Think "Dragonlance" Needs to be available for an...

A strangely specific question: Has anyone DMed WotBS at a live table by using the adventure .pdfs on an eReader? (Not a laptop) What Reader? How was readibility/page referencing?

@Morrus , @RangerWickett et al: Would you folks like to use this thread for our (maybe just my!) specific comments and critiques of the WotBS saga for possible use in how Zeitgeist is planned or written? I have a couple very general observations that MIGHT be of interest, even though I have...

I recall seeing a thread or two that discussed a few particular creatures and what some good minis options were. (The thread I recall specifically was Leska's mini I thought there was one more). Has anyone undertaken the much more significant task of listing by adventure (4e in this case) what...

Has ENWorld ever hosted/supported/allowed a forum/thread for TRADING miniatures? (Not selling, just 'swapping'). I understand there are likely other miniatures forums dedicated to this, but I am not really interested in signing up for one just to trade a few minis. Is this a can of purple...

Wheaton had a nice take that touched on 'edition wars' a bit: Read it yourself here (or don't - I'm not the boss of you): In which we play Cal & D. - WWdN: In Exile

I seem to be seeing an uptick in red box banner ads on the net (say in the last week). In addition, the wizards.com/dnd web site reverted back to a splash page (prompting me to go to walmart, target, or where trading cards are sold) for the red box when I visited it today. Has anyone else...

Morrus I am on the 4 month plan, and I noticed my Community Supporter status went to INACTIVE and I got angry because I never received an email notification or anything!!! RAWWRRR!! So I poked around my 'other' email address and found that my paypal renewal failed (though I am not sure why...

This is a long shot: Does anyone that is running WotBS 4E still have hard copy, printed battle maps that they created and no longer need, and would be willing to negotiate parting with them? We play around a table, and I like pre printed maps when I can use them. It seems a waste to make my...

Not sure if this this was previously posted, but: According to Geekosystem, D&D 4E was one of "10 Mostly Necessary Reboots, Restarts, and Remakes: click I am not entirely clear on the criteria of the rankings, but check it out if you are interested. EDIT: Not sure why the links don't work...
