His expression in panel 13 is priceless.

Play a low int barbarian that levitates everywhere cause he never figured out gravity.

This will work perfectly if the first NPC (and every subsequent one) knows all about Lord Noble's Evil Secret, and briefs the PCs accordingly.

I'm having trouble following the core theme of your essay here. On the one hand, it seems to be the usual "everything I loved about the past is dead, and you young-uns killed it!" diatribe, with some tangential stuff going on regarding the editions. Are you saying 4e is the D&D we had to have...

The free PDF is great, but it makes me want the full thing even more! I'm thinking I'll have to print it out double sided and put it in a binder, so that I can take it to the table. Either that, or get my laptop working somehow. Looks so handy in a pinch! Also looks great for fleshing out...

*gleee!* I take it that it'll be announced here, to save the apes? :D

Awesome, that's great news. By the way, I just noticed that the RPG.net review you link to on your page for the Ultimate Toolbox is actually a review for your old toolbox. Is that intentional?

If you're saying the books will be old and dusty before a pdf crops up, I will be sad. :( On a serious note, is there a tentative timeline that I've missed? Like, weeks, months, year(s)?

I just feel sorry for the animatronic apes...

I too would also dearly like a PDF version. I can get the dead-tree version in Australia, but it's expensive. Plus, I'd only ever be using it during prep when I've got a computer available. Rolled a quick character with the sample PDF on the webpage, and got someone who is persued due to...

Sounds like something ideal for DM hand-wavium, personally. What're you trying to do with one? If you're trying to breach a wall, DM hand-wavium for the dramatic moment. If you're trying to take down a dragon, DM hand-wavium for the DC to aim it, standard action to fire it, standard action to...

Ok, just to let everyone know how it all went. I ended up creating three characters, cause a friend of mine dropped by and decided to take part. He's never played D&D before. So I went with a Battle Cleric, a Great Weapon Fighter, and a Two Weapon Ranger. All nice and simple, and easy for the...

If I was DM'ing, I'd allow the OP's interpretation of the rule to apply. Might be a short campaign for that character though. Round 1, the Warlock curses himself, starts moving, is unable to stop and thus unable to attack, as they havn't completed their move, and OAs themself to death. Needless...

I just checked the DMG, and it says striker's the role it's easiest to do without, with controller as the second easiest. I think I'll just let the players guide me, then tweak the encounters based off what happens. :-S Edit: Just read what I wrote, and honestly I'm not trying to rubbish your...

Thanks guys, you've given me some brilliant advice! I'm seeing them tonight so I'll discuss with them how they want to do this. Probably won't get a chance to start til xmas, which will give me a little time to plan out how to integrate things with the campaign as well. :)
