    Shipwreck/Island adventures

    Hidden Shrine of Tomachen (sp?), one of the first tournament modules for AD&D, mildly famous for launching the Gibbering Mouther!

    1E Unearthed Arcana: Yea or Nay?

    Definitely worth picking things out of. Some of the ideas floated in UA were out of control but that's any book IMO

    Advice on PbP

    RP heavy games are the easiest to conduct PBP. The thing that seems to kill most games of this sort is the fact that a 5 round combat might take as long as 2 weeks to complete. Given the higher level of sturdiness that 4E brings us, this can be drawn out even longer. I've been running a...

    What other settings should get the FR treatment?

    I'd vote for Planescape (with the exploration angle) but other than that, a new setting might be in order. The new fluff that they've generated for their generic (Winterhaven, etc) setting seems to fit well together with the Core materials because it was designed specifically for that material...

    What really happened to the god Mask in FR?

    Paul Kemp (iirc) still has another novel due out soon that is supposed to wrap up the whole "where's waldo" phenomenon. I like the idea of Mask subverting the Cyricists though but with the way clerical magic works in 4E it isn't necessary for the divine entity to grant powers to their...

    What do you think about the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting Book

    They whacked him at the beginning of Exp. to Undermountain but with all the odd happenings in Waterdeep (as of 4E FRCS), I am keeping my fingers crossed for his return. Even if they don't, I will.

    Some people in Canada have recieved the 4E FRCG early!

    Unhappy about them bumping off Mask (just not seeing Shar as a good replacement if that's how it is going to work out) and the craptastic maps (same as the excerpts, ugh). Happy about the clearing of the decks, lots of room for DMs to go crazy and build their own Forgotten Realms (which means...

    New Rituaaaals

    I hope they make a level sensitive list for us to access (through DDI?). After a few of these articles we're gonna be wishing for a non alphabetical format. Oh well, guess that makes a good reason for another book :blush: Glad to see some practical stuff (excavation = dig which is the second...

    DDI Progress

    I'll be wanting to see that on the 16th, make sure you have plenty of terminals for us to play on.

    The after-action report from last night's 4E game

    WOW! Best background evah All I could think of was the G1-3 module cover while reading that. Spectacular images.

    Ritual: Banishment

    podcast: 4th edition combat too long

    Now there's a capital idea!

    We got TPK-ed in the Kobold Hall!

    Thank you for those. I'll have to re read those parts again since it didn't sink in the first time. :D

    We got TPK-ed in the Kobold Hall!

    Best idea I've seen on how to track this. I just finished running some practice combats with the pregens from KotS (the first 3 encounters) and have decided that the combat is pretty smooth. It reminds me of earlier editions (with some room to grow with AoO and Combat Advantage), at least at...

    Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk - got it!

    Just started reading it and I have to say, it sounds great so far. I think I'll be giving it a C&C overhaul (since I don't have the time to learn/find a 3.5 group) for my upcoming campaign (in case Zagyg doesn't make it out in time, or incorporate the two together if it does since the first...

    So what the heck IS a Shadowfell, anyway?

    I'm just happy they learned to type the word Demon again, hopefully it's not a typo. Enough of this Baatezu/Tanarri (sp? see what I mean) garbage! Give me fiends from the pit (and maybe some Cthulu type stuff as well).
