Definitely check it out: it's a creative and bustling 4e discussion space. (Warning: lurking in the chatroom may not be helpful if you're trying to get work done during the day! Then again, you're here on ENWorld, so...)

Questions I have: * Would you consider playing this? * Is this kind of power unbalanced? (Note that, with the Discipline Adept feat, I can use Empathic Surge twice in a round.) * Do I need to create more custom powers?

My goal: create a Disciple Focus that allows it to perform minor healing and ranged Leader support while sticking mostly to its controller role. (On the other hand, I'm happy to minimize the amount of custom work or content creation necessary. It will be mostly a drift from the telepathic...

Sorry for the multiposting, but I gave in to temptation and implemented Xolok's suggestion.

BTW, any suggestions about where on the WotC boards I should post that? Or is that possibly problematic?

Xolok: On the upside, the XML response from the search query does include information about which categories include their own matches, so it is feasible, but it would take some interface tweaking. So: I'd love patches/contributions for: - better CSS/design for iPhone or otherwise - fixing the...

Thanks. I added more options (including classes) to the dropdown, so I was able to select Class and search for Wizard. The log in thing: that can be weird actually. Make sure you're logged into your DDI account and can use the actual compendium normally, first. (I was able to search for Wizard...

I had the impression that there was no longer a mobile-friendly minimalist front-end for accessing the DDI Compendium, so I made a very modest one: Compendium Search Helper Could easily use more work; a better iPhone style would be great. Code is here: devp's dnd4e-mobile-compendium-helper at...

The Game Chef contest is coming up on its 10th (!) year and is starting next week. (The challenge is: given some randomly selected and soon-to-be-revealed ingredient, write a playable game in about a week.) It's fun to compete, but the real value is in the creative constraint of the competition...

My thought is that these powers should be free, because I'm trying to provide additional carrots (and I don't wan't anyone to think through some math and decide whether Banter or an Action Point is more efficient, or whatever). I like the ideas. Morrus's idea is simply (and akin to "Aid Other"...

I'd love to add a small mechanic to encourage more in-character banter during combat: nothing major, but just a one-liner or quip and some interaction between PCs to add some color. This is primarily for an online game where it's easy to drift into a quiet/mechanical mode. It's easier to lead by...

I wrote an adventure framework for Dark Sun: "Free Tyr: the First Days. ("Adventure framework" means it's not quite an adventure path; it's more like a layout for an improvised game.) The hook is this: just now, Kalak has been killed, and you're in the middle of Tyr. The situation is changing...

I should mention the Disposable Heroes line from PIGames, which is great. Looking at the free Pathfinder Paper Minis Instructions PDF gives me an idea of how to construct these a little more sturdily. So, cool! That's one solution.

What's a good crafty way to make a 2D printed token suitable alongside 3D minis on a board? I had some purely paper minis that could be folded into a standup triangle, but they weren't all that sturdy. (I thought I was committed to sticking with 2D tokens, but then I started buying a few minis...

Keys are a great mechanic, and I love the idea of recharging certain mechanics (daily powers / rests / recharging powers / action points / etc) when you enact or buyoff a Key. For example: only recharging Daily powers depending on gaining enough might feel like the extra power was tied to...
