    I was really looking forward to the "Designing Skill Challenges" article but it doesn't appear to have made the cut this month.

    D&D 4E Forked Thread: Some Thoughts on 4e

    I agree with the above statement but I'm not sure 4e is the game for me. I'll have a better idea on that once I run a game which won't happen for a while yet. One of the guys from my home group said something this last session that hit the nail on the head for me. "Somewhere between 3.5 and 4e...

    Epic Podcast - good, bad or indifferent?

    What if minions were handled in this way- Heroic minion- dies in one hit Paragon minion- dies in two hits Epic minion- dies in three hits

    D&D 4E Some Thoughts on 4e

    I am currently playing a wizard that just made level 7 at the end of the last session. I have 19 rituals in my spellbook and another 6 that I plan to purchase as soon as I am able. This doesn't even include any level 7 rituals- I haven't even looked at those yet. So far in my travels I have used...

    D&D 4E Some Thoughts on 4e

    Thanks for all of the replies. There are some good ideas being thrown out there which is what I was hoping would happen. Now for my own thoughts. Vayden- if I decided to make the martial powers reliable I would not have anything happen on a miss. I was thinking that all along but failed to...

    D&D 4E Some Thoughts on 4e

    Our group has been playing 4e since it was released and for the most part everyone seems to be enjoying the game. Most of us agree however that something seems to be missing but none of us are able to identify the issue. After some thought I have a few ideas I’d like to get some opinions from...

    Experiences DMing Savage Tide [Adventures, Spoilers, Forked from Gargantuan Eel]

    I ran Savage Tide for my group here at home. I think it took us about a year and a half to get thru it all but I did work in some of the Bastion of Broken Souls towards the end. It was going to be our last hurrah for 3.5 so I wanted to get the party higher than level 20 since the highest we had...

    Anyone using Onenote?

    I have never heard of this program either. Is it in earlier versions of Office as well?

    Rituals, compilation, creation

    Rope trick seems like a great ritual spell. Any thoughts on what level it would be? I have not looked at the other rituals closely enough to find some that are equal in power/ utility. Would it be on par with creating a magic item like you can at level 4?

    Game Over for Gamer's Paradise

    I was just in the Woodfield Mall location this weekend. I asked if the store was closing and one of the workers told me that the manager of that store was trying to purchase the remaining three locations. Hopefully he'll be able to do so and turn things around.

    I had to snort at this

    I agree that group synergy worked well with 3.5, at least for our group it did. Our casters (wizards in particular) found we took creatures down alot faster when they got the fighters (melee types) in positions to get their full attacks off. The amount of damage done at higher levels was...

    Billy & Mandy: Wrath of the Spider Queen

    The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy rocks! I think my favorite character on that show has to be Dracula. That guy is hilarious!

    In need of a Pirate Ship(s)

    I'll add another vote for the World Works Games ship, the Maiden of the High Seas. I made one for my Savage Tide campaign and we use it a ton. It holds up pretty well during play but we usually leave the sails off since we always seem to be knocking them off anyway.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Thoughts on converting BoBS to 3.5 (inc Spoilers)

    The Cathezar has a supernatural ability called dancing chains. I have a character in the party that uses a spiked chain for his main weapon. I'd love to whack him with his own chain- is this a legit use of the ability or does it only work on unattended items?

    Looking for Clear Plastic Rods for Battlemap Use...

    We use the really large six siders to designate height in our games. I don't know the exact size but they are a tad larger than one inch (they are just a bit larger than a 5' square on the grid). Usually we multiply the number shown on the die by either 5 or 10 depending on how high the...

    GENCON 2008 - Who's Going?

    Those rooms go quick! I was booking it within 7 minutes or so and my first choice was full! Luckily I was able to get my second choice a few minutes later. The rep I talked to said they booked 13,000 rooms in the first hour! And they say gamers aren't an online crowd. Who knows though, maybe...
