    Whence the Animated Statue? (D&D Insider Tools)

    I got mine from a fellow player in exchange for some DDM figs... I don't know if I have a right to post the statsline though.

    D&D miniatures arrived today!

    And the only owlbear that's not in an out of print set. Not everyone has been using minis in their D&D for ages. I've just started getting them because of 4E.

    That's it; I am done buying minis'!

    I don't understand why you'd buy 550$ worth of boosters. Seriously. I only ever buy one case (to get me a decent bunch of all the commons and uncommons in the set), hope for good rare pulls, and then buy the rest of what I need on a case by case basis as singles. I might buy 2 cases of ATG...

    met a gamer at the barber!

    I was wearing a Brujah (VtM) t-shirt on the bus and that crazy hot goth chick came up to me to talk. One thing led to another and I got a phone number and we planned a date. At the movies we talked more and I ended up figuring up she was 16 (I was 21...). So Canadian age of consent is 14 (talks...

    Does anybody know what (5) means?

    Where can I find a link to that clarification? I had already decided to house rule it that way because it made more sense, and if I had the ruling confirmed I could just remove that page from my campaign Wiki's house rules section.

    The Failure of Gleemax

    I joined Gleemax right at last year's GenCon, and it was pretty much in the current state. (Well okay, they just finally released a couple of boardgames on the site. Gleemax-the-social-portal itself is pretty much the same as always.) This year's GenCon is a few weeks away. Make of that what you...

    4ed torrents -How'd it happen?

    It should be mentionned that a lot of the discussion here is American-centric. The law is not consistent internationally. The act of copyright violation, for instance, is a crime in Canada, but downloading a file has legitimate fair use purposes so right now 'pirating' is a grey area. That is...

    piracy is a problem

    The one does not preclude the other. The expansion of culture that comes from peer to peer comes from the sheer amoral force of unstoppable technological progress. The motivations of the individual actors are irrelevant. The common good is just the amalgam of a million selfish interests.

    piracy is a problem

    Informational anarchy is inevitable. From the beginning, property rights have been a statist abstraction many steps removed from the physical reality that they represented in the Law (goods scarcity, usufruct). Intellectual property result from a further abstraction of this already disconnected...

    KotS Total-Party-Kill!!

    I'm wondering how many of the TPKs happened in groups where the DM didn't read the encounter properly. spoiler: the kobolds inside the cave possibly are surprised, and the elites, including Irontooth, don't show up until 3 rounds after the PCs entered the cave. Unless, of course, a kobold...

    D&D 4E Other 4e Intro Adventures?

    Yes there is. I've already signed up in my FLGS to run it.

    Against the Giants Preview 3

    Well, the thieflings have numerous figs in past sets already, while the dragonborn have none. Well, one, if you count an old rare that represents the 3.5 dragonborn concept. There's I think two thieflings in Desert of Desolation and one in Dungeon of Dread, or vice versa. Those are the two last...

    KotS Monster Minis

    I own a Water Elemental mini which I believe is Large and might do a decent stand in for the Large Blue Slime. As for the Kruthiks... wtf are Kruthiks?

    Traps preview

    I thought the whole point was that with the new design philosophy, it's not an either/or thing anymore. Most traps should be part of larger encounters that include monsters and/or skill challenges on top of the trap.

    D&D 4E A 4E Combat Encounter - Round by Round Descritpion

    Ah yes. Makes sense. I feel it's a tad counterintuitive though. It also seems to me that her ability on OA would rarely actually be used, and would only serve as a deterrent, as only a pretty desperate monster would attempt a non-shift move that threatens an OA.
