At Role Playing Public Radio, they're playing a 4E campaign just like what you described. You can listen to them play in their actual play podcast (explicit content), and you can read through the campaign setting material in their The New World Campaign Primer. It's pretty long, very...

Well the biggest problem with the article is obviously the lack of a 'Gnoll Soul' feat. Not only because it rhymes, but because gnoll is the only race with a full writeup left out (except deva, but come on). At least, it's the only one I spotted. Seriously, minotaur, but no gnoll? As a...

Sometimes good DMing means letting players' powers work the way the expect them to . . . as long as their expectations are drawn from the rules of the game, and they're not trying to powergame. A player playing and building his character honestly (that is, not powergaming), and who is familiar...

One thing I forgot to include in my general comments at the end was a clarification on how I don't think Wizards communicates well. I don't want them to take that as a negative thing toward their people who post frequently and give as many updates as they can (I've specifically noticed this from...

A near miss is a miss that was nearly a hit. It seems pretty straightforward. As to the OP, I've seen 4E hit points described as Schrodinger's hit points. That is, you don't know whether your hp loss was due to 'morale' or actually getting wounded until you're healed. If it was magical healing...

RAW, I don't think there's any way that the dragon could have escaped. The power says one thing, so that's what it does. It's true that the DM can alter things like that to make sense, but this is a case where doing so would be removing power from PCs . . . which PCs don't like. When PCs can't...

I'm sorry; I didn't say what I meant . . . I meant that a player should have all of his or her powers available at-hand, preferably all one just a few pages constituting one's character sheet, or on power cards. In fact, according to the template I used, it would be impossible to have all of...

The first level character gets all the hit points and half level bonuses of the average encounter level. They only get powers and feats according to their 1st level, and those increase over time. They're still much less powerful, but at least can hit stuff and don't die right away. ~

Indeed; nice sheet, Hjorimir. I agree you just need all the powers on the same page. Here's the sheet for one of my old playtest characters; I use the same template for all my characters. ~

I'm interested to see what kind of games you've played with this system, and what the 'character sheets' look like. So . . . I guess I'm looking forward to updates to your blog :) I hope you'll post here when you do update. (In this thread or a new one.) If not . . . well, hopefully I'll...

What? I guess I should have clarified. She wants a set of pink sparkly dice and she also wants unicorns. Sorry for any confusion. :p ~

Indeed. So far Silent7Seven.com has gotten . . . 36. Thirty-six 'referrals' through wizards.com/leaving.asp :erm: Still, though, it's nice to be listed! ~

I kind of fast-forwarded through it, and all I saw were d6s :-\ I must have missed the frames with the other die sizes; sorry! I guess I'll have to email these other places as well and get quotes from all of them :) Thanks! ~

I only see custom d6 for Chessex and CustomDice.com :-\ Thanks for the suggestions, everyone :) ~

Scene proposal: "After examining the greenhouse remains, Rinian heads down the the west passage." I've decided that my cardinal orientation will match the map as I've drawn it, with north being 'up'. I also now realize that I haven't actually proposed a new scene since Rinian left the room with...

RE: EDIT2: :( I also have a Chthulu set, and they are nice. I would like to create something like this for her . . . but their example has 20 d6s for $140. That's $7/die. For a set of 7 dice (1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 1d10, 1d%, 1d12, 1d20), that would be $49. That price would be fine, except that I...

My girlfriend told me the other night at the gaming table that she'd like sparkly pink dice with unicorns for her birthday. So . . . uh. Well. I'd like to get them for her. But I don't know where. Anyone know a custom dice site that has sparkly pink plastic to work with? Also, she doesn't...

I think he just meant that assuming we're all using point buy here, you can't have below an 8, and no more than one score can be below 10. Since the OP is discussing a point buy equivalency table, I think it's safe to say that that's the assumed ability score generation method for this thread...

While I do find this exercise interesting, I think it's also a little unnecessary. Given 4E's emphasis on generating your own monsters, the ease of doing so, and the lack of defined structure (read: rules) when doing so, why try to 'powergame' your DMing? You can just create a new monster group...
