Are these advertised anywhere or just generally come together with people who already know each other/have met up in previous years?

This word, it does not mean what you think it means. Of course sods law means it is inevitable that in any discussion about the meaning of words you will use a wholly inaccurate word.

Thats one of the stupidest things I have heard in quite some time. As I recall in Rary the Traitor it was fairly clear that the change was a gradual thing which occurred over many years.

Allow me to add myself to the "very rare" category. What I find puzzling is the objection to the idea of primordial or elemental powers in the setting since, if my aged brain recalls correctly, Clerics were elementally focused from the very beginning (Templars excepted). You might almost...

Is there only a single poster map?

We started in the early 80's, initially with Basic then moving on to Merp before jumping to 1e. After a while we alternated RQ and 1e games. We did not use published modules for the most part. I do recall one or two small press UK ones, the Rod of Serallion springs to mind but nothing from...

Hardly If you are just looking for inspiration rather than directly available 4e modules then you might want to check out the old 1e Against the Giants series. I believe there is a 4e version in the works but it isn't likely to be out for a while. The return to the Tomb of Horrors had a...

In what way does use of a grid, mini's or cards make an RPG like an MMO?

Yes, I get that. What I dont get it spending a chunk of your available wealth on something you can easily replicate with a spell (unless they have nered GMF).

I am not seeing any Wildshape on that list of class abilities. has it been removed? Also, an Amulet of Mighty Fists when you can cast Greater Magic Fang!

Its mentioned in one of the collected stories FR anthology novels.

Its creepier when you realise that one of those women he is boning (the Symbul) is someone he raised from being a child after Mystra burned up their mother giving birth to the Seven Sisters of Super Awesomeness.

This isn't really entirely accurate. Sticking with 4e a PC must roll to hit with a spell or physical attack. A monster has to roll to hit when attacking the PC's. If either inflicts some sort of ongoing effect then the target, whether PC or NPC, get a saving throw to see if it continues to...

This isn't how I run 4e or how any 4e AP I have read since it came out runs it.

I generally disagree. Settings will mostly be used by those not creating their own. Of those groups they will be of most interest to the GM rather than players. So you are talking about a fraction of a fraction of your player base interested in buying your product. Its probably worth...
