I'm not one to have pet peeves but for reasons unknown I get very annoyed, almost angry when seeing the word toon used for rpg's. Usually I re actively hit ctrl-w when I see it.

I first played when I was in Kindergarten while also playing commodore 64 games. My cousin had me fill in for someone not there. And instantly they loved me because i was sneaking around, robbing captured teammates instead of saving them, and rolling 20's galore. I tried last week with my 8 and...

Wow, these guys. They show up at my house 8pm with new chessex $10 dice saying they're ready to go. My 10 year old starts hopping up and down. Tables a mess, and I'm tired from work. Reroll!

Sadly my 8 year old is a bit of a video game fiend now because of me. She even managed to beat FF13-2 which IMO wasn't a good game. And she can play in sandbox type games for weeks at a time no problem. I put her on something older with pixels "daddy its ugly, its all squares" If she isnt able...

It looks like this campaign won't even be really taking off. I initially started it for my 8 and 10 year old daughters. The 8 year old finally opted in today, but 1 hit away from the last dire rat death she got bored and left. The 10 year old bugs me constantly to play, but all it is is Hunters...

What other options are there to supply heals? I saw dwarven armor has a power and some heal potions. Its that so far for the last week ive had 3 diff people keep saying theyd show and dont. Id rather not have a companion take an EXP slot, but if so then I think id rather have a more fleshed out...

I was thinking of something like this. Again I dont want him to steal the show, more like hide in the back and cheer them on and maybe distract/kite 1 enemy on occasion. Do you feel 2 heals is enough? Should I go with something else super minor like a 1d4 heal/temp hp with a recharge on it?

What kind of suggestions do you guys have for having an NPC healer? I liked what I came across in this thread, http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?336323-So-one-of-my-players-decided-to-summon-a-Demon-and-cut-a-Deal&prefixid=wotc but unsure how to go about. I'm leaning more towards a...

I printed out all the Reavers of Harkenwold maps on tabloid 11x17 at work. I think I can make it work. Some of the scales seem off on some maps, but im sure no one will really complain. I'm just a bit let down at the picture quality. A lot of these are all pixelated when blown up on the tabloid...

Confirmed. I'm in New York, and it only took me 10 seconds.

It would seem I made a booboo and didn't split xp. So after that 1st session, every one was lvl 2. Obviously I wouldn't want to take that away and undo all that was done. What would be a good option here? Recalculate their xp they should have approx 500xp, and just have them work up to lvl 3...

Thanks for the suggestions. I just feel bad about dropping a lot of cash on materials if this doesnt end up taking off, like my old 3rd Edition stuff. If the next few sessions go well, I think Ill definitely get DDI and liberate a few things. Would a ferret be acceptable for a Ranger? Seems a...

Yea fighters were 10 and Barbs were 12 from what I recall. But it seems like all the d8's went to d10's, wiz went to d6, yet rogue is still d6. One would figure theyd get at least d8 in this case.

Yes, if you can suggest me a handful of places to watch. My dilemma is my friends and I loved a good hack n slash. I never really had a chance to play with many good DMs, often it was 2nd madness "how many are standing together? Fireball!" Although oddly enough the parts that do stick out in my...
