I support this idea. Sounds like a bunch of fun! Don't forget that although the focus of the Avatar was on the bending there were a ton of non-bending character types out there. I would love to see this put together.

Nifft- Your comment about the Stage 2 level of play just gave me a random flashback to my world's religions course from a decade ago. Almost a total derail here, but Hinduism has something called pursharthas which roughly translate where people's priorities are...

I am going to throw some support to the OP. I understand where he is coming from. It's not any one single rule that the players are weasling on. It's not that there is an honest disagreement on how a power works. He can handle both of those easily. He's dealing with players that are...

OP- this is not so much a rules question as a game question. This is EXACTLY what killed 3.x for me. We are not playing Lawyers and Lawsuits. (I forget who said that originally but it is so fitting it bears repeating. Might even sig it.) What is the intent of the power? Does the situation...

I ran my first 4ed game last night and the biggest shocker for me was the huge amount of damage players were dishing out even at 1st level. Yes, it is proportional to how many hp the critters have but when the fighter slashed for 30+ damage and the Ranger hit just about every round for 25+ ...

Our first game was last night and it was pretty fun. We played for just over 3 hours and managed three encounters. I was a bit rusty but the players were great and worked very hard to keep a strong mental image throughout the session. Well done! A quick recap can be found in this thread...

mapless update I promised to report back after running a mapless 4ed game over Ventrilo. Players- Fighter Warlock Wizard Ranger Wizard (yes, two of them) (The cleric flaked and the paladin had to leave early) The short version: In general, I felt more liberated than I did in 3.x. but a...

We have now 4 people committed to the experiment and are all set to start the campaign this Thursday. Hooray! Stop by http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Rushulka/ first to see if this campaign might be something you can get into! I promised that, since I was overtly recruiting in another...

not to derail or poach BUT... If there are any people that were unable to get into this game please drop by http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Rushulka/ We play Thursday nights at 8pm PST for 2-3 hours using Ventrilo. We are attempting to do without Tactical Maps as an experiment to maintain...

To the OP: I completely understand your dissatisfaction. There is a serious disconnect from narrative to combat perspective when using minis. This Thursday night our group is giving mapless/gridless 4ed a try- over Ventrilo! We will be using maptools to help with dice and MAYBE the...

Ah, the fairness argument. Life's not fair. Games aren't fair. There, that settled it. Seriously though, I can see the point about letting players know if there are rider conditions attached to whatever smacks them (troll extra damage for bloodied foes). But then again, as the dm I am not...

here's something I did that works well for the cardboard stock- Take three fedex/ups envelopes, the ones that have the peel stick seal, and stick them together so that the flaps overlap. Run a bit of tape down the seams. This creates a nice and large trifold screen that you can fold up. Then...

Excellent! We are shooting for Thursday nights. Send me an email so I can get you an invitation to the campaign newsgroup. It can be found at http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Rushulka/ I look forward to hearing from you!

Aria, I am starting a 4th ed game to be held over Ventrilo on Thursday nights from 8pm to 11pm PST. You are welcome to drop by and give a listen to see if this is something you want to try. The newsgroup for the campaign is http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Rushulka Send me an email and...
