In 4E, they moved that to the PH.

For humanoid foes, I use Lego dudes. I kept all my Lego from my childhood (plus my brother's, woot) and we played with a lot of the Castle sets from the late 80s, so I have a good variety of "armor" types and little plastic weapons to arm my dudes with. I'd much rather have something 3D than...

Thanks, I was hoping there was a thread like that somewhere. :lol:

I've generally liked the Dungeon Tiles WotC has released in the past. I ran a short-lived campaign at a co-worker's place, and he had a big box of the things, 4 or 5 sets all told, IIRC. This included DT1, the first, "basic" set with all of the generic corridors, rooms, and whatnot a DM would...

One of the potential goals I'm going to set before my players is to end the practice of slavery in the empire they live in, either by diplomacy, more violent methods, or both. But that will only present itself if they seem interested in doing so. I think of it as an optional long-term quest...

Yup -- I even game with one of my co-workers. There's a handful of people around that understand the hobby, and a handful that actively play.

Meh, I'll just use my own.

My group hasn't run into this particular situation, but I'm inclined to agree with Mengu. Being in the care of allies would go a long way to mitigating the negative effects of being KO'd.

Can anyone recommend some system-neutral (read: useful for 4e) PDFs?

As someone who currently plays with a youngster (two of my players are stepfather and stepson; the latter is 11) and as someone who wants to play RPGs with his own kids as soon as they're old enough to grasp the mechanics, I have to say "thanks, but no" to this idea. D&D is right about where it...

During our last session, I started using a stack of index cards to keep track of initiative order and all other relevant combat info, and that alone sped things up dramatically. Before the session, I prepared one index card per monster type with important info like defenses, HP, movement...

You mean like this? :cool:

I'm reading the Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher (the Dresden Files author) and in that world, the duel-for-settling-legal-matters-between-nobles thing is called juris macto. I think that sounds pretty cool, and I'll be stealing it for my campaign. I suggest you do the same. ;)

Human fighter, human paladin, half-elf warlock, halfling rogue, dwarf cleric. This may change, since we're still in "test mode", not having finished KotS yet. I'm allowing the players to swap out characters between sessions to try different things. (There's a bit of precedent for this, as we...

I've done some minor formatting and wikifying of the page. It might be best to move discussion about the page to the Wiki itself: http://www.enworld.org/wiki/index.php/Talk:Points_of_Light
