I found my inspiration in a lot of different places. This messageboard had probably the biggest influence in that I got a lot of my ideas from here. I also got some ideas from the Wizards board and the Feywild excerpt from the Manual of the Planes that went on the WoTC website a while ago. I...

Last night I took my players through an adventure in the Feywild and it went great. 4e is really an incredible game and the Feywild is composed of ten distinct varieties of awesome. My players were very excited when they heard they were going into the Feywild and I'm happy to say the adventure...

I know this is a pointless exercise but I saw this video that someone posted on another thread: shine_flash and I realized that if they ever made an Order of the Stick Movie the guy in that video would be a perfect Elan. I mean he has the hair, the voice, and the willingness to look like a...

Am I the only one who thinks that if they ever made an Order of the Stick movie the lead singer in this video should play Elan? I mean he's got the blonde locks, he's not afraid to don a crappy mustache when he needs to (to play Nale) and he sings. He'd be perfect.

Wha....? :eek: Kill a Tarrasque with a goat and a bag of holding? You're going to have to explain this one to me.

No, I don't think you're selfish but I think you and I have different ideas about what D&D is. My understanding is that it is and always has been a group game meant to be played with a group of other people. It's not a go it on your own solo game where your one character is meant to conquer the...

No offense but personally this would give me a headache both as a PC and especially as a DM. Take my personal example. I was running a game of 4 players in 4e and a fifth player wanted to join. Under the system you propose I would have to go into great detail with that person as to what kind of...

Seconded on both points. Of course Wizards can't say that they don't care about sales. It's clear they do think about sales but those two concepts (D&D as a good game and D&D as a profit making product) are not mutually exclusive. You can have a truly good and artistic and entertaining game and...

Am I the only one who saw the Preview of the druid and immediately thought of making a warforged/druid who transforms into mechanical beasts and is basically a transformer? Yeah, it was probably was just me.

I wouldn't be angry or upset if Rich stayed with 3.X. I just think the jokes seem stale and he still makes tons of rules jokes. They are still funny (after all his jokes about ThAC0 are still funny) but it's just I wish he would make the switch. I guess this all got wrapped up in my general...

If I had a player walk around with loaded crossbows the bolts would either drop out or one would go off (+2 vs. AC) against the PC to see if it shoots him. Of course I'm a little bit of a wuss when it comes to doing this kind of stuff to players so I would give him ample warning first. If he...

I've posted on this before and the response was there are people who are doing it but it's a massive project. It would be cool though. We'll see.

Yes but using a magical light source will probably draw every big and nasty for miles around. At least it will when I DM. :devil:

Listen I understand it's the Giant's comic strip and he can do whatever he want with it but I disagree with the idea that he doesn't make rules jokes anymore. He still makes tons of rules jokes and I'm sorry but when he makes them about 3.x they feel, I don't know, stale to me now. It's not...

This is (IMO) incredibly cool. While not right for every campaign killing the Gods is an awesome option and by the sound of it if the DM didn't want to allow that all they have to do is keep the PCS from getting their hands on the tools they need to really do the deed. Basically there's one...

I've asked this question before but when I saw the 4e sci-fi thread I was tempted to ask it again (and I didn't want to derail that thread). Basically does anyone know if there's any hope for a 4e Dragonstar? I know as rule set it had its problems but the setting was so good. If it's possible I...

I'm sorry if other people have posted about this but I searched and didn't find anything. I was very intrigued by the vehicle rules in the AV but I felt they were missing the idea of ship to ship combat. I thought we could borrow the crew rules from Star Wars: Saga. In that system every crew...

I've seen situations just like this. I was Vampire: The Masquerade and one of the other players created a slightly insane vampire doctor. Problem was he refused to come out of his mansion claiming that he's quite comfortable and doesn't need to go out on hunting missions with total strangers...

I agree with this approach and hope it's what WotC adopts. After all when they created Dark Sun they didn't make all new races, except for adding a few. Instead they took existing races, such as halflings and Elves, and made them into something new and cool and appropriate to this world. That...

Oh man I love the Dragon articles so far. My wizard uses a few spells from class acts, I've used the kobolds, and the article on the elven city. I plan on using more of the stuff we've already read about as the campaign progresses.
