I agree with several posts here. :) If I'm putting the effort into DMing I expect people who agreed to show up and game initially to stick to their guns, especially if I'm only running a 4-5 player group. Don't get me wrong, real life happens, but missing several consecutive meet-ups is...

Thanks for the input guys! And here's a link to what I meant by a "5x5 grid" (which I really meant "5x5 method"): The 5×5 Method : Critical Hits and another: Using the 5×5 Method for Adventure Design : Critical Hits and another: Critical Hits Podcast #18: Planning Your Campaign Using the 5×5...

Due to a schedule change I will no longer be able to play D&D 4th with my current group (which only plays maybe once every two months due to the DM's inability to run a game if any one of seven different players can't make it). What a shame right? ;) So now I'm once again leaving the player...

Still waiting to hear from Insideru!

True. We could have tried to run once we discovered how much of a handful that encounter was, though Malareth had the Ray of Immobilization and it had a crazy hit bonus. Not everyone was going to make it out. If we did, maybe we could have re-grouped, gone through the other encounters...

Playing at home with my wife allows both of us to play regularly (we have kids), and it lets us walk away from the game instantly if we need to. We don't have multiple computers to allow for both of us to play online, and we can't always get a sitter for the kids. I hear of people running...

Thanks for the info. I do plan on bringing Malareth back (he was too cool) but that won't be for a while. In the mean time, I guess I could have "nudged" her through the encounters in order, but I was just letting her decide. For round two, we have ditched the essentials characters (they were...

Because I'm unable to make it to friends places or my FLGS that often, I thought I'd run an Essentials-Only campaign at home with just my wife using the Essentials adventures (Red Box, Kill the Messengers, Ghost Tower, Dungeon of Ghost Tower, Reavers of Harkenwold, and Cairn of the Winter King)...

Slap me with a punishment for thread necromancy, but this project is simply too amazing to let it slip into the abyss! :cool: Insideru, how's your progress with the C++ version of your program? Did you get the chance to review the last post I made? I'm up and running another group through some...

Here's a Krogan for SWSE from the aforementioned PDF: KROGAN Krogan are powerfully built and hardy, but aren't agile, tend to be impulsive, and have little patience for diplomacy. All Krogan are infected with a genetic disease called the Genophage, a bioweapon developed by the...

I sincerely apologize for the slightly off-topic post, but I am totally going to shamelessly plug my work here. :angel: For those interested in the Mass Effect setting, it does work very well with Saga Edition (as billd91 said). Just change The Force to Biotics, make some minor tweaks here and...

Haha! I wasn't done yet: Game #1.5 - Star Wars Saga Edition This was right after Star Wars Saga Edition had just come out. I got a couple of friends together for a game since the books were new, and thought that the new rules were vastly superior to the Revised d20 stuff Wizards had previously...

Wow! Some of these just make me wonder, and some of these make me wish I was there with a video camera to catch the unbelievable stuff that you guys have experienced. I do have my own stories too though, however they're not as bat-sh%t crazy as some of the stuff here lol. Game #1: D&D 3.0/3.5...

In one of my other posts, I mentioned that you did manage to put links to the three Master Tile Sets at the end of that thread. Again, thanks so much! Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful thread and I'm at lest very appreciative that you made it, but you're right. It's more to let you know what...

Okay, so I'm performing some slight thread necromancy, but I had to say something. Sorry, but a THANK YOU goes to the OP. I'm glad you spent the effort putting that list together, as it's nice to have some order to the chaos that is DDI + physical releases. Much appreciated!
