jbear, thanks for that. :) I think I'll borrow some of your ideas for my KotS campaign. I especially like the link to Sir Keagan's story. I know I'll have run some out-of-game test encounters, as Wik suggested, just to get a feel for how powerful (or not) the Companion Characters really are...

Count me in. The 3/month is an excellent idea! And it was too good to pass up. I hope to EN World sees 1000 community supporters soon!

Aside from the unibrow, don't forget about that unsightly toenail fungus :p (kidding) I imagine that a werewolf in human form would shake violently back and forth if they got wet and chew at itches instead of scratching them. Perhaps they always sniff their food before they eat it and bypass...

There is a subcategory of eBook formats that use technology based on eInk. This includes the Amazon Kindle. eInk is a presentation that is very light on battery use and as far as I know, only exists in grayscale right now. I think the intent of eInk is reading of novels and books with little...

Wik, thanks for the reply! It is amazing how these cool ideas flowed right out of you on the fly :) I envy your players! Your five examples really helped get my creative juices flowing as well. I suppose that sometimes my creativity just needs a kick in the pants to get going. Thanks for...

Thanks for the reply :) To answer your questions. I've got: Level One Half-Elf Cleric Level One Halfling Rogue I'm currently using the Points of Light setting and I'm wanting to run them through Keep on the Shadowfell. I've read that this can be a tough adventure, so I want to be sure they...

OK, so I got my DMG 2 (happy dance) :) At the moment I only have two players, so I eagerly read the Companion Characters section first. I love the idea/concept, but I was a little disappointed with some of the suggested monsters for CCs, especially for 1st level parties. I'm not trying to...

Vistani? Great! I'm always ready for more Ravenloft goodness. I think if we do see a Ravenloft adventure anytime soon, it will be in Dungeon Magazine.

I'm going to have to drop out of the voting because I like all the classes. You should see me trying to pick a flavor of ice cream--then you would understand.:p

Thanks Kelvor, that's what I needed to know. Now the DMGII is a must-have for me. As soon as I get the book (I ordered), I'm going to work with my two players to fill out the gaps in the party with CCs. Then off to the Keep on the Shadowfell they will go. It will be interesting to see if...

Arr me hearties! Cur-sed be those who do not enjoy the likes of such finery!

I'm interested in the book. The big draw for me is companion characters since I do not have a full group right now. Could someone shed some more light on how these characters work? Here's a couple of specific questions: Are companion characters equivalent (or close) in power to a regular...

From someone who survived real depression I'm an avid gamer. I'm 46 now. In 2005, I tried to kill myself (twice) and was diagnosed with major depression. Now days, I'm well and back to my former gamer self. Treatment with anti-depressive medication worked for me. Was it gaming that...

I've actually choked up some my players during one game session. One of the NPCs gave up his life, in a dramatic way, to save the party (involved cutting a rope to let himself fall). Describing the events was even a little tough on me. At that point there came like a natural, but silent pause...

I like 4e. WotC says that 4e sales are doing well, and I haven't seen anything that convinces me otherwise.

I like the fact that they published the results. I'm surprized that the virtual table ranked lower (in percentage) than some other features. I do want a virtual table sooner rather than later, but I'd also like to see the other popular features as well. In the meantime, I'll just keep using...

Ninjas? NINJAS? We don't need no stinking Ninjas! ;)

I haven't tried it myself (so I can't confirm), but I read somewhere that if you use Google's Chrome browser when doing the cutting & pasting, you won't lose your formatting if pasted into MS Word.

There was once a guy named Galileo. He championed Copernicanism, which was crazy and controversial within his lifetime. And, he was locked up. The danger goes both ways. Even now days, what we don't know is much greater than what we do know.

My group had a great time with: The Siege of Durgam's Folly
