(Alternate title: You got your pseudodragon in my cockatrice!) So in the DMG it talks about making encounters fun and lists "different types of monsters working together." What are your favorite monstrous combinations? What combos can prove deadly and which are just downright fun?

I would love to be able to run such a role-play and story focused campaign.

It did well. They didn't release numbers but in their 10-Q for the quarter ended this September (which means only the PHB and MM had released and not for very long) they cite the brand as one of their revenue makers. "In the quarter, higher net revenues from MONOPOLY, MAGIC: THE GATHERING...

Absolutely! I think this might go over best in the conversion section though, but I am new here myself.

Absolutely. He wrote a few of my favorite 3.5 adventures (Red Hand of Doom and Forge of Fury)

I guess I won't be getting my druid spell cards anytime soon. I am hoping for a good OGL just so I don't have to put up with companies that do a bad job with the monopoly WotC has given them.

http://wrathofzombie.wordpress.com/2014/10/30/ranger-archetype-the-arcane-archer/ I am not crazy about as I think it would work best as a feat, but this seems like it would be up your alley.

I'm not sure if lumping all of these as conditions is particularly helpful. Some seem more like actions (opportunity attack for example) and some are more a class feature (or lack thereof) than a condition (I'm thinking of Armor non-proficiency). However, I think Encumbered, Dying, Starving...

That WotC Screen sounds awesome. I've never used a DM screen, but I might end up picking that one up.

I agree that traps and conditions go together naturally! I haven't been making traps with specific conditions in mind, but they definitely come into play when I design a trap. As an example, I will describe a kobold-designed corridor my PCs went through. It was waist high with oil, making it...

Lot of good stuff on here, and I am going to repeat a lot of them, but hopefully any repetition just confirms their greatness! Here are some of my favorite adventures: White Plume Mountain--THE classic funhouse dungeon. I call it a thinking man's dungeon. It can be like Tomb of Horrors in...

Yes, that is the creator, but that setting isn't Dark Sun, which is why he doesn't call it Dark Sun. I recognize that it is essentially Dark Sun by one of it's originators, but the Dark Sun setting is still owned by WotC, who can publish Dark Sun irrespective of the originator's projects and...

I think it would be more in line with other items if, instead of having 1d4+2 charges that resets each day, it has 6 charges, and gains 1d4+2 each day, since that encourages not using it all each day, since you don't know how much you will get back the next day. If it resets, it doesn't do this...

What are the issues with the cards?

I think that Gamma World would be great and would mesh well enough with the D&D rules since it is already a pretty fantastic (though in a different sense) world. I've never played a Gamma World game, but if I did, it would be like Adventure Time which combines D&D fantasy (explicitly at times)...
