Well, I am running the Kingmaker AP using 4ed rules, and we've had sort of opposite problem from you. My players (mainly former 3ed casters) find rituals lackluster and too expensive compared to their power, and have more or less ignored them. :confused: So it might be good idea to offer a...

I don't get it. Is there actually an edition of D&D where this is not true? On the other hand, this is bit strange throw away, as until this point it sounded that he was advocating DM vs player style.

I've also felt that playtest reports do not seem to be positive due game mechanics, instead they could be from any session where the DM and players are in rapport. Due NDA, there has not been real info how the DDN mechanics supported the fun, but on the other hand, some people have reported that...

I've been running Kingmaker using 4e. So whats it worth: I'd start with the first adventure, especially if you are interested in hexcrawling. Level eight might feel a tad too high, and you could mix encounters from the second adventure. Especially the kobold clan might be off for late heroic...

For fast maps I've used pre-made tiles on the maptool. By scaling different map elements to the same grid-size I can create maps on-the-fly just by dropping them on map with the snap to grid enabled. Constructing tiles do take some work, but once you have them, it is fast. And if using plain...

I believe that these quarterly numbers are more or less meaningless noise, and I am actually hoping that on overall, Pathfinder and 4ed are not even nearly tided at this time. Why? To my knowledge there has not been any hard numbers available, but by some of their comments, I’ve gotten...

My projector stand is somewhat portable. For setting it up, I need a sturdy ladder and a ceiling. As for the stand I use autopole with an simple arm: It's quite easy to setup, if the ceiling is low enough. Autopole is telescopic, so I first extend it to ceiling, and then climb to attach the...

I don't think that the OP was looking to restart the old and tired WOTC stole my fun spiel. I'd say the thread started fine, and some different, and new to me, things to be mad about were mentioned. But some people just are still so mad about all things related to the 4ed, that this kind of...

It has been some years since I bought mine, and I am not really familiar with current (or was with previous) projectors. When selecting a projector for a top down setup, I was interested in throw ratio, minimum throw distance, brightness and noise levels. As for throw distances, you'd just...

I've had a LCD projector pointing straight down for ~2.5 years, without any problems. I think that it has gotten ~400 hours of usage, but I might be wrong. For ceiling, I suggest you do pay attention to the throw distance, so you can project decent sized maps. I'd recommend you to calculate the...

Aah, blasphemy - the spell which made me realize that even Paizo's adventures are not all that they could be. Going bit off topic, but wastrilith with at-will blasphemy (CL15, CR15 monster, Savage Tide) forced me to realize that I no longer wish to use 3.5 for my games :p. Somewhat...
