    Response to recent article by James Wyatt on DMG

    It's kinda presumptuous to assume that your gaming experience is richer than ours, especially when you are basing your opinion on an imperfect assessment of our gaming experiences. Your group is fortunate in that it has one or two people who are always the DM and apparently never miss a...

    Artificer Up (Playtest Version, not Final)

    Roleplaying games are a collaborative effort; we all stand on the shoulders of giants. Why does it bother you that WotC is giving its customers a chance to help shape the products they're going to buy? You're either trolling or you haven't read the article. I will concede that it is a single...

    How to get the most out of CustServe, or Give the poor guys a break.

    Being in customer service is not the same thing as being a mechanic. Have you ever worked a customer service job in your life? Your hypothetical auto mechanic has probably spent a lot of time being trained and educated about his profession, not just on the principles of how a car works but also...

    Errata to Playing Warforged in DR364 compilation

    In addition to formatting improvements and typo corrections, I found the following changes: * The last sentence of the Charging Action feature of the Warforged Juggernaut paragon path now reads: * The Ruinous Onslaught power of the Warforged Juggernaut paragon path gains the following: * The...

    Artificer, Fighter/Mage and Master Teleporter...

    Speaking of details, is that a dragonmark on the right side of her stomach? Does that mean she's actually an Elf, or are they going to retcon one or more of the elf-specific dragonmarks to include eladrin as well?

    Artificer, Fighter/Mage and Master Teleporter...

    I wonder if that artwork is supposed to be a 4E Artificer? Either way, I am totally jazzed about seeing the Artificer as well -- please please don't hold out until the end of the month, Wizards!

    Paladin's Challenge Question

    I don't see anything in the errata about Divine Challenge. Where is it listed?

    Paladin's Challenge Question

    I was going to write a post arguing how the paladin's divine challenge ability is meant to do damage every round, but after reading the text in question and comparing what others have been saying in thread, I've changed my mind. I think the radiant damage is meant to be once per challenge...

    Forgotten Realms vs. Eberron

    Um, "magic is used like technology is today" != steampunk. And it's also not an accurate way to describe Eberron. I think it's fairer to say that Eberron is more Renaissance-era high fantasy, where your typical D&D settings are medieval-era. One of the design concepts was that low-level magic...

    I made a DM Screen

    Thank you for informing me of what software I should be using. I'll be sure to start uploading all of my publications as Pages and Numbers files because, honestly, Mac OS X is the better platform to be using for desktop publishing. </snark>

    The Compendium is Live

    Resourceful Presence is listed in the body of the Warlord class description (EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you meant.)

    D&D 4E 4e Character XML Schema

    Since we're talking about 4E and XML, this is a project that I'm working on. It's not meant to be a character generator; it's more of a formatting project, as I have plans to leverage existing character generator utilities to generate the XML files. I'm developing it on Mac OS X but it uses ant...

    D&D 4E Important 4e Charts and Reference

    I'm working on a template for such a chart. This is what I have: * PC Name, class, and level (adding the player's name might help, although I usually can remember which player is the Eladrin Wizard...) * Passive Insight * Passive Perception * Initiative * AC * Fortitude * Reflex * Will * Max...

    Dungeon and Dragon not updating?

    I know that, but I'm willing to chalk it up to "short-timer's syndrome" as the motivation to produce articles and content for a game system they're effectively discontinuing waned the closer they got to June. (They promised a three-part 3.5 adventure in Dungeon to transition to 4th edition...

    Dungeon and Dragon not updating?

    I could be wrong, but I could have sworn that WotC said the Dungeon and Dragon articles would get posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I didn't see anything go up on Monday, other than they apparently reposted the Yeenoghu article. (Maybe they made corrections?) What's going on, WotC...

    Out of Healing Surges - what now?

    I agree; in my current gaming group I have to bite my tongue both as a player and as a DM to keep from telling a couple of our younger players that their obviously stupid ideas are such (charging into combat without healing or waiting for backup is a popular one), and instead let their PCs...

    D&D 4E 4E Sample Combat: The Terrasque

    From what I can see of Strand of Fate, it doesn't stun the target. Why is it that the tarrasque is stunned, again?

    Magic Items and their resale value

    Ever sell books to a used book store? I would be absolutely floored if they bought your books in cash for 1/2 of the price of a new copy (or even 1/2 the price of a used copy, for that matter). If I'm a merchant, I don't have an unlimited amount of space to store my merchandise, and limited...
