I'm doing the 4e version of Final Redoubt's first adventure, The Throne of God, right now. I have to change most of the monsters for the setting anyway, for instance both undead and hobgoblins have something called the Infernal Taint in The Echoes of Heaven. So this makes for monster stat...

Final Redoubt has been in from the get go, but the new GSL allows us to release stuff in our Echoes of Heaven line without first finding a way to do with without betraying our 3.x players.

Morris, About the statblock thing: One thing I realized working on the 4e tournament module for my local store--I usually change the monster a bit anyway, so I can do a derived stat block and just reference the one or two racial powers back to the MM. It occurred to me last night that there...

Just as input from someone who operates under five licenses from three companies and has worked under at least one more (I'm probably missing some), the The GSL is the second most permissible one (the OGL is the most, of course). All the other licenses I've seen still allow the publisher to...

Back to the working and playing well with others part of the thread (I love all editions. No need to ban me. :)) Lightning is magic, so do whatever fun stuff you want, first of all. But if I were to be asked for realism at my table: They're right. Electricity always wants to follow the...

That's just the stuff I'm looking for.

I've been asked to adopt some of my company's stuff for tournament play. It's been ten or fifteen years since I've actually played in a tournament, so I want to pick up some tournament modules to study the conventions and structure. But I want to hear from a player/DM view. What was your...

Podcast Audiobook about Tabletop Roleplaying: playtesting.net That's the link to the category that just displays the episode files.

I went out last night and bought the PHB and DMG after the Rouse confirmed they have the errata. They look great. A lot more than just the errata. It's fully bookmarked and so far all the of page references I've found are hyperlinked. Even more interesting are the pdf bundles they are doing...

When they announced that the PDFs on RPGNow for the D&D 4e core rulebooks had been updated, someone bought them and said they didn't contain any rules updates. Anyone know if they've been updated yet? The preview doesn't seem to contain updates.

I think it's going to be all about the encounters. How much do you need rules outside the encounters, any way. So these aren't improvements, just suggestions: 1) Get the most interesting encounters possible. I fell in love with the system the day I shifted away from a kobold and he shifted...

I would say that overall it looks decent. I think you need more reveals and maybe a bigger twist in the middle. The middle, for instance, just kinda happens. I think the act two twist needs to be heightened. For instance, the players might be trying really hard to get the castle there for...

I had bad news from Alliance yesterday. Evidently, Critical Matters, our critical hit book for 4th edition, has become unporfitable for Alliance to floor for me. Alliance is the biggest game distributor in the country. Flooring is a type of distribution where they keep you book on stock but...

Yeah, I'd use three downloads just in my house. My main computer, the one in the game room, and my laptop. That's just personal use, no sharing, and I'm at 3. Five seems a safe number for one person when you consider that.

I was trying to make a houserule character using an invented race. I couldn't figure out how to put in the race's power(s) or skill bonuses. Any ideas?

More like ten hours on the battlemap. Hopefully your games involve something other than combat. :) My Echoes of Heaven Playtest goes on an off XP rules (on when we're officially playtesting, then off for filler story so everyone is exactly at the xp I want for the next playtest). We tend to...

Critical Matters, by Final Redoubt Press

It depends on the party. I would never dream of doing a store game that went longer than an hour with some kind of encounter (unless the players draw it out themselves). I have other groups where I'm happy to run a six hour session where no one picks up a die. People play D&D for different...

No, no, no. :) MSE looks to have been created by a European because it defaults to A4 paper size. If you force that through, it will cut off the bottom of your cards. When you tell it to print and it brings up the print dialog, select preferences and change your paper to letter (or whatever...

Is there a book of NPCs I don't know about? I was planning one for Final Redoubt Press.
