I would have preferred a more Expert Set/Blue Box feel as the kids's characters are established from the series, maybe starting them off at level 3 instead of level 1. Having the adventure start around level 3 and finish around level 10 would give a lot more material to use with a still easy...

Interesting that it is being sold by Hasbro and not WOTC. There was a Demogorgon that was the smaller/near original size that was a FLGS bonus mini if you purchased the classic creatures set they did a while back.

The trip went pretty well, I managed to get only one copy of the Pathfinder Module, but got three copies of the D&D, so it all worked out. The first store on my list, Gamma Ray Games didn't open until noon, so I missed going there for other stops, and whomever was opening The Dreaming Comics...

So, where I live there is only one store hosting Free RPG Day, so I figured why not make Free RPG day an adventure in itself! So I bought a ticket to fly in to Seattle Friday night so I can spend all day Saturday hitting as many game stores as I can to see if I can score my "dream lot", 2...

Have you tried the scans in safe mode under a different user account? I have found that you will get much better results if you do. Also, if you have a wireless keyboard have you tried pulling the batteries from it and putting them back in?

There are quite a few entries for Necromancers in the old Monster builder if you still have that running. I would have one of her flavor powers be something like "Hands from the Grave" that causes immobilization until the end of her next turn for everything in a area burst 1 within 10 squares...

I have usually found that using the story or situation itself can reduce the PC's motivation to try the 15 minute adventuring day. I am currently running the PC's in my game through what essentially breaks down to a chase/escape scene, they are aware if they stop to rest, they will be overrun...

I'd have picked it up because I am a sucker for having everything. Being a DDI subscriber though I rarely pick up the books and just use the compendium and character builder.

Considering it's an epic tier feat, it shouldn't be too unbalancing overall.

Well, the old slience ritual + kidnapping when the goody-two-shoes goes to bed early and the rest of the party parties it up in the inn would work, if he is smart enough to run he has a chance of escape, however if he decides to try to fight it out, hit him with a ton of paralysis/daze/stun...

Money money money money! MONEY!

You could get Keep on the Shadowfell from WOTC's site by going here: Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Try DnD It also has Khyber's Harvest, which I believe was the 2009 Free RPG day Module (Eberron), and the starter rules for when 4th edition came out. If you want The...

I have been using a houserule that states that if you use a daily power and miss with it, you can either have the miss effect or you regain the power after a short rest. For powers with no miss effect the decision is easy, for those with one, the player gets to make the decision. That way...

I like the idea however I would add in Bluff and Intimidate as secondary skills that reduce the difficulty of the next insight or streetwise check one level (from hard to medium/from medium to easy/from easy to automatic success except on a natural 1). Checking the DC's in the rules compendium...

To answer your questions: 1) you don't have to have the implement, however once you obtain a magic implement (check near the back of the PHB) you will find they increase your attacks and damage as well as provide other special effects. 2) A normal longsword will not provide a bonus to his...
