Carella was responsible for Unisystem, which is used in most of Eden Studio's games, including the highly successful AFMBE. I don't know what carella is doing these days, though. Last Carella-written thing I read was Witchcraft, and well, that's a TERRIBLE book.

First, the core 4+1. These are the simplest and most classic of the 4 core archetypes needed to get through an adventure, as well as a fifth man because....well, bob wanted to play. barbarian rogue wizard(forced specialization, given alternate specialist features) favored soul factotum...

In Living Forgotten Realms, it's assumed that PCs will level up every 3-4 adventures. Those adventures consist of 2-3 combats with a skill challenge or two thrown in per 3-5 hour session. Considering that the XP requirements for modules are laid out by WotC, I think it's fair to say that's a...

I was under the impression that rogue was one of the last classes to be developed, which means that(like the ranger, it seems), it may not have been playtested or fluffed as thoroughly as other classes. In all honesty, Blinding barrage probably shouldn't be a weapon power at all. I think I'd...

4e's Draconomicon has a couple of good plot hooks for dragon-hunting quests.

If anything, 4e wizards are more survivable than their 3e predecessors. In 4e, a wizard can easily qualify for armor proficiency feats with no penalties to casting, and most people who play wizards, from what I've seen, tend to pile on the constitution, making them excellent staff mages(staves...

The Living Forgotten Realms adventure Dale 1-1 , The Prospect isn't bad for a single session to try out 4e. I started out a group of mostly inexperienced players(a few who'd played, a few who were new to the hobby), and everyone's pretty satisfied with 4e.

Recommendations: Generate 'em as you would a starting character, and give them a bit more money/gear. This gives both the flavor of the class, without overshadowing the advantages of any particular homeworld/origin. Class/Origin recommendations: Hive Guardsman: I find this is a -really- well...

Wizards aren't gimped. But they do play differently. See, the problem with wizards and D&D is the fact that a level 20 wizard is Master of the Arcane, Manipulator of Everything. On the other hand? A level 20 fighter is still only a master of whatever weapon he's wielding. There lies our...

I've never seen dune, nor read it.

Moving on -is- concordance-dependent. I thought that much was obvious. I mean, I'm following the set format given in the DMG.

Sounds reasonable. Changes to Moving on made.

Well, since I'm currently running a game, I've been working on heroic-tier artifacts for my PC's to eventually acquire. Here's one. This is fairly rough and I'm looking for feedback/suggestions. The Libram of Arrakis is a book that has often been mentioned throughout history. Always...

Hmm. Thought I'd put a link towards this: Microlite Storyteller in this thread. I think its interesting how people are applying the microlite philosophy to other games(but is this actually, uh..legal without an OGL for storyteller?)

This looks really cool. I'll never get my group in the RL to play it, but maybe online I might. Either way, I'm also interested in hearing feedback on this. Maybe someone should also see about getting this on the Microlite20 page
