This sounds a lot like the one -versus-many board game Level 7: Omega Protocol, where the players spend adrenaline to take actions and then the Overseer player uses the amount of adrenaline the players have spent to take the enemy actions. I loved that game so will definitely check out...

I will be there. It should be fun. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

As an avid board gamer and lapsed RPGer, I have been wondering recently where the RPGs are that use board game mechanisms like deck building, worker placement etc. So I am glad I saw your post. Out of all of the board game mechanisms, I think Deck Building would be the most suitable for RPGs...

13th age is my favourite RPG, but I agree with you about the icons. When I have run a campaign, I've got the players to roll at the end of a session so I can work out by the time of the next session what all the rolls means, but I would still be interested in alternatives to the Icon rolls and...

This was a delightful read. I am glad you were rewarded for your courage, I would never have the balls to make all the sacrifices you and your wife did to achieve my dreams. I can't wait to read more of your articles :)

I was going to pick this up at Dragonmeet, but I got sick so I couldn't go. This was by far the biggest reason for my disappointment at not being able to go :(

Thanks guys. I will check out everyone's recommendations.

Thanks. Looks like I should definitely check out Scales of War!

Thanks! I will look that up. I always liked some sort of hazardous terrain in 4E combat and it is certainly something I want to use in my board game.

Hi, What were your favourite combat encounters in 4E? Ideally from a published source so I can go and look them up, but your homebrew ones are welcome if you describe the set-up in enough detail. The reason I ask is that I am designing a board game and I am taking some inspiration from 4E D&D...

Just to let you know that I have updated the file to replace the picture of the Mind Flayer with a better one. Also for anyone who is bored and wants something to read for 5 minutes, I wrote a G+ post about my experiences writing it: https://plus.google.com/112406305603089735392/posts/2CAt9PvQ5eD

5 out of 5 rating for Eyes of the Stone Thief First off, this book is expensive. But I think it is worth every penny. Reading throguh it I got the impression that the author 1) put a *lot* of effort into making a fun campaign, packed with interesting ideas and characters 2) put a lot of effort...

I've been pondering about doing a 4E hack when I've finished my curent project. My aim would be to rewrite player bits only so that I could still use all of my DM stuff. I haven't given it much thought though, apart from a thought about redoing Martial PCs. I was thinking of taking all of the...
