    [D&D 4e] Group seeking players - Adelaide, South Australia.

    22 views? And no bites from enworld? That's kind of... Pitiful. :) :D I'm lucky I posted outside of here! I've had a few nibbles but no commitments. Canvassing my RL friends has been more frutiful tho and it looks like a couple more seats are filled, with a couple more maybes. Anyone who...

    TRUE BLOOD #8:Night on the Sun/Season III/2010

    I had to laugh at that, considering who it was coming from. My fav TB quote is Lafayette, "Jason Stackhouse, you all kinds of stupid".

    How far are we from colonizing off Earth?

    I think we are close. Real close. Just a few short millenia left... Just a few heartbeats in cosmic terms. LMAO!

    TRUE BLOOD #8:Night on the Sun/Season III/2010

    The pace settled down a bit in this episode, although there was a lot more action. I expect it will pick up with a vengance next episode or the episode after. Pretty stoked on it so far!

    TRUE BLOOD #6:I Got a Right to Sing the Blues /Season III/2010

    This was probably the most gorey and powerful episode across all TB seasons, IMHO. Two jaded aussies right here were shocked... And loving it! :D

    Companion Characters: Q&A, requests, etc...

    OK well the Fighter and Magic User have been updated. Unimaginative Real Life interferred - my apologies for the delay. Some notes... Fighter I tried to keep this guy really simple. I gave him longsword and shield bash MBAs, plus javelin for RBA. He needed something powerful but simple for...

    Playing D&D with 3 people

    A topic close to my heart! I highly recommend adding at least one companion character to the game! It will do a LOT to even out combat without having to adjust all your encounters. They are also an easier option than having players running two characters, well for most players anyway. You...

    Question for DMs: How smart do you play your monsters?

    I agree with the other posters that these things are available to monster/npcs, that it depends on intelligence, yadda, yadda... What I'd add tho is it also depends on my players. A group of utter RPG noobs will get a much easier fight from encounter X than the same characters would get from...

    You make the call: Spreading the Pain

    IMHO it's a judgement call each DM needs to make based on the situation at hand. Say I'm playing with young people very new to RPGs, for example. I'll often fudge and minionise and have the monsters make stupid decisions. I don't let them know that, of course. It'd ruin their fun. On the...

    Companion Characters: Q&A, requests, etc...

    I never played the video game :P The Magic User will be pretty easy - that'll mostly just be refluffing. I tried to take the idea of hardkly any spells at level 1 and then layering them up. That kind of feels OD&D to me. The Fighter... Hhhmmmm... Some of that will just be refluffing. But the...

    Skill vs NADs (fort,ref,will)

    It's funny, the cultural thing. For example, most Australian's don't even think about the connection. And when it's point out we are like "Oh, yeah I see what you mean... So what?" Then again many nations consider us uncouth and foul mouthed. Many terms others find offensive and consider...

    D&D 4E Teaching 4e?

    What OnlineDM posted at http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/281957-teaching-d-d-4th-edition.html#post5240910 was awesome and you should read and re-read it! As to pregens and getting folks onto their own characters, here's what I've found a great compromise. I make up a whole stack of...
