They have a broadcast detailing the rest: mostly bug fixes and some minor content. On the other hand: EXPORTS! WHOOPEE!!! And now the online CB is complete. For me anyway.

Underdark (January) I've only read bits and pieces of this one. I have a game where the players have a home base in the Underdark (Drow City, Long Story), but most of it takes place on the surface, so I haven't felt a burning urge to dig into this one, although I hear it is awesome. Player's...

They see me troll'n, trying to catch me flame'n... Or, to put it a more sarcastic way: No and making a second answer is arbitrary in light for the first. The Red Box was hailed as a great success as a n00b spring board and only had two "incompatabilities" in it, namely the difference between...

I've found skill challenges to be a great addition to the game. Heck, one of the last adventures I ran was almost 50% skill challenges. After a first couple of awkward trys, I began to get the hang of them. I found they are best used as a way to gauge the PCs abstracted attempts to overcome...

Being a Mac user and a DDI member since day 1 I'm not terribly disappointed with the new CB. On the first day, yeah, it was a buggy sack of crap, but it seems like its gotten better as time goes on, for some reason. Since Day 2 I've only had one error message, and that was because two people...

I have noted how silly the economy in 4e is before. To solve it, I tend to do one of two things: Either treat all magic gear like artifacts: I.e., they level up as you go along, usuaully in tune with the narrative. "With a high note you shatter the last runes stopping the deadly ritual. In an...

Printing from XP computers at an underfunded college campus and... I have no problems at all printing. Not one. Then again after the first day I have yet to suffer a glitch out, so maybe I'm just blessed?

I disagree with this comment mostly because of the fact that I seriously doubt the DnD managers are some evil cabal trying to quash out the incredibly minor competition DnD has with its 3PP. 3PP doesn't compete with Wizards so much as begs nicely for a treat anyway. No, I honestly think the...

As someone who actually works on 4E 3PP I can say that while the GSL is a pain in the ass sometimes, but its not that bad. Its a little cumbersome when it comes to monsters and references revolving around monsters, since you can only reference the inferior MM1 and 2, and you can only reference a...

Hybrid Fighter|Paladin multi-classing into Barbarian. Having the same issue when trying to take Storm of Blades.

Infernal/Star/Dragon King Pact Githyanki Warlock with a focus on Eldritch Strike and reflavoring the rod implement as a magic gun. Or, if you want to skip back a bit on the damage, going shielding swordmage is always good. Either option works, really.

I want to be clear on this: I am a supporter of capitalism and let no one say otherwise. I never once said that he or anyone else "owes" WotC anything. I never said that and if you inferred it from my posts I have to inform you that you are utterly mistaken. Anyone who cancels over this, I can...

Actually, yeah, yeah it is. Basically he is abandoning a perfectly functional game system to go to a competitor out of spite. Its further made absurd when you learn that hero labs has 4th Edition support. Changing to Pathfinder is an act of pure spite meant to punish WotC for not meeting his...

Really, the issue is partially to do with the huge variance in quality between rituals. Compare the usefulness of Tenser's Floating Disk vs. Comrade's Succor. Tenser's provides... a way avoid the encumbrance rules everyone ignores and the ability to ignore difficult terrain? There are some cases...

Its not really power inflation at all. Your misunderstanding the phrase "feat tax." A feat tax isn't a feat so awesome you really should take, a feat tax is a feat you need to take to be effective. The reason expertise is a tax is because a flaw in the game math makes a 1/2/3 gap between player...

Really? Because people make fun of idiots you conclude that the idiots must be in large numbers or have some sort of point? Mike Mearls has ruined making fun of stupid people. :(

I honestly find your insinuation to be insulting. You have no real idea whether or not this new system will have better protection than the other companies did. All you have is a blurry cover. Furthermore, if it was all just a ploy to cut out the middle man... why go through all the hysteria...

To the OP: I can easily understand what your saying. I myself am something of a dedicated power gamer, so I do enjoy the pleasure of producing an effective build. There is a certain type of fun to making something which works awesome in it context, and a certain type of pride as well. It is the...

Hmmm. While the Far Realm things can easily be a an over-arching heroic plot, you've got epic fairly tightly packed. Imix, Ogermouch, Torog, and Lolth are all competing for "Campaign Ending Big Bad" space. Granted, you can do Imix vs. Party at level 28, Ogermouch at 29, and have Lolth revealed...

Wrong. Any V class has this issue, and there is power and Feat support for playing a Dual-Primary Paladin, so you can't even weelde out of it with the "build" qualifier. Actually, I'm pretty sure the build description says rather plainly you should go for an even Con/Cha split, and while a total...
