    Tiefling Miniatures

    We're just using the current Tiefling plastics that have come out - most notable, the Tiefling Warlock (a player of mine just re-rolled to Warlock.) I've not been able to find many suitable so fat tbh.

    D&D 4E Running player commentary on PCat's 4E Campaign - Heroic tier (finished)

    My group always seem to go for the side-quests, and some of our best sessions have been on inconsequential dungeons (although they always add to the flavour of the campaign.)

    "Why do we do it?"

    Hey - I'm a drama student, and roleplayer/DM/gamer, and I'm currently writing my big research paper for my final year. I'm looking at the differences between narratives when an 'audience member' is merely watching the story, and when they're actually taking part. I'm getting research together...

    Avoiding Railroading - Forked Thread: Do you play more for the story or the combat?

    In terms of general plot I have a clear idea of what groups and evil individuals are going to do, and I set up the circumstances of that. Depending on what happens in my game session one week, I prepare for the next 'leg' the next week. This involves writing dungeons, setting loot, getting a bit...

    D&D 4E Are humans balanced in 4e?

    I don't think the unpopularity of Human PCs is because of balance, just out of player choice. As a group, not a single one of us so far has rolled a human, and I think I'd be the most likely to (I usually play a half-elf, probably playing a Shifter Longtooth for an Oriental backdrop - flavoured...

    Adventurer's Vault 2 Playtest

    I'm already using a slight mod of the Spellscar abilities in my campaign as tatoos that characters can purchase, so the idea behind them I have no problem with. The get better the more healing surges you spend? I don't understand why. They're just magically enchanted tatoos right? So how are...

    Pact Blade Double Sword . . .

    I'd allow it... can't see any major reason why they shouldn't have it. Doesn't seem that unbalanced, seeing as you make 1 melee attack anyway, the double weapon just gives you a defensive bonus etc.

    Misheard Song Lyrics

    Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body "You don't have to admit you're Paul McVay" [You wanna play] "I'm gonna have to neck it by the end of this song." [have you naked] "Neck it" is a British expression for downing a drink in one, or drinking something quickly - typically in a pub.

    Why do 4e combats grind?

    I'd say the roles of the PCs is a key factor in this. My group (I DM) have 3 defenders and 2 strikers... which is usually more than enough to deal with monsters for about 5 rounds. Also, I think its affected by how quickly you run the game. I tend to move swiftly through combat after playing...

    D&D III movie trailer

    Made of win! That's probably what went wrong for the previous films... distinct lack of pencil moustaches.

    Anyone try the new WoTC digital Character Generator for 4e?

    I tried downloading it... it installed okay, but it just didn't like the application when I tried to use it. Crashed before it even got going. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone got a possible fix/advice?
