I get them from many sources, one of which was actually wizards themselves from various adventures. Some of the maps I drew in map tools, the sewer in the dark sun game on page 1 for example. Another source of maps I used was the cartographers guild, which has numerous awesomely talented map...

He is actually playing an entirely different system, Mouseguard. Though I haven't heard a lot about how that experiment has gone for him.

Yeah I will actually, once my new group determines what they would like to play I shall make a thread for it. Most likely I will be playing Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, Mouseguard, World of Darkness or something similar to that.

Yeah I sometimes come back to this thread and wish I hadn't stopped my 4E games because my computer crashed. Unfortunately, that was just the excuse I needed to give up 4E, in combination with some of the decisions that Wizards were making I really began disagreeing with (like dropping support...

It's pretty much as bad as I feared it would be. A bunch of often randomly (or it feels that way) designed mechanics with little logic to them beyond "Older editions did this, so we're going to redo it now with different language". Perhaps all of this magically works out when you play the game...

Can't say I am that happy with what I am reading about 5E in the slightest. Just hope it doesn't turn out to be a bunch of stuff cobbled together, without a solid design direction out of a need to "please" everyone. Definitely unhappy about how Wizards has handled 4E over the past few years and...

After the nonsense with essentials, declining quality in Emagazines/books and lack of support for the elements of the game I loved in 4E, there is no way I am going to be foolish enough to invest in 5E until I give it a fair amount of time. They have to really impress me and frankly, everything...

That would be publishing something that isn't a Wizard and we don't do that in post-essentials 4E ;)

You know I can take the poor, neglectful and sometimes just plain bizarre design of 4E since essentials because ultimately the game still works. Yeah, Wizards have dropped the ball on a lot of things for me - epic tier especially - but even with my computer dead (and my campaigns on hiatus as a...

"Falling behind" is certainly one way of putting it. Much like how you could say someone that was currently dead was "Not breathing very well". Paragon is where you really see how bad some strikers can really become and just how big the gulf is between well designed ones (Rogue, Thief, Slayer...

Once I heard about the number of heroic tier monsters in the book, I delayed getting it and then eventually canceled and got my money back. As you can imagine that was a significant turn around for me. I knew there would be basically nothing in the book in the epic tier, but I was so...

Because I had faith that Wizards would actually go back to publishing things I wanted again. Given they couldn't even do something as basic as provide a working and non-buggy as an ant-hill monster builder again, I don't really see the point in continuing to support them.

In the end I didn't buy it, because I had no need for a whole bunch of heroic tier monsters and there wasn't enough paragon and no epic content in the book. Given that the future of my games is very tenuous because of two major issues. Firstly, I've had a major and fatal computer crash, which...

And yet, pre-essentials you could actually hope for support for things outside the PHB so that wasn't such an exception. Right now, throwing more support at two of the best supported races in 4E when there are some so terrible they are desperate for anything (The Shade in particular) is typical...

Personally I am for the Flaming Sphere change having tried it for myself. Flaming Sphere is arguably the only spell in 4E I've seen in every single campaign since I started playing the game. It's so efficient that I don't recall ever not seeing it being used. With the damage at the end of the...
