    Mixed Signals from Wizards of the Coast

    Here in Mexico City there is only one store that sells D&D products, and according to the owner, it almost seems like Wizards of the Coast doesn't actually want them to carry D&D! Apparently, Wizards REQUIRES that everyone in Latin America wanting to sell WotC products buy from Devir, their...

    October Errata is up

    I was actually happy that there's no update to the PHB1 this time :confused: What changes to skills?

    With all the ruminations on Essentials, are Power Cards even worth buying any more?

    While its not perfect (it lacks space for race/class features) the essentials sheet is a huge step forward when it comes to intelligent and attractive design

    Magic Missile while blinded

    So, to recap: 1.- There is nothing in the actual rules that says you cannot attack [-]the darkness[/-] a target you cannot see with a magic missile, and have it hit the target with the same infallible precision as always. 2.- There's nothing that stops Minifig, or any other DM from requiring a...

    D&D 4E Which 4e books do you think are must-haves?

    Why?, you can make a perfectly good Summoner wizard or Beastmaster ranger with the character builder alone. What you don't get through the online tools is the fluff and setting part of the books, which is why I would suggest getting the fluff-oriented books rather than the crunch-oriented ones

    D&D 4E Which 4e books do you think are must-haves?

    Skip the Adventurer's Vaults and the Martial/Divine/Arcane/Primal/Psionic Power books Those rules, powers and items are available, updated and better organized through the Compendium Instead, get the "fluffy" books, like Manual of the Planes, Open Grave, and the Draconomicons, filled with...

    Wanted: A female point of view please

    Both females in my group enjoy our games more since we switched to 4E They like having to consult the character sheet less, since I print their powers and skills in cards. We do not have Pathfinder, but my understanding is that Paizo books have graphic designs and art that are much superior to...

    With all the ruminations on Essentials, are Power Cards even worth buying any more?

    What WotC should have done from the beginning was to program the D&Di using Java instead of .NET That way the tools would work on Windows Mac and Linux and many more of us would gladly pay for subscriptions.

    With all the ruminations on Essentials, are Power Cards even worth buying any more?

    These are the cards I use. I find them prettier and easier to use that the ones in the character builder (in fact, I copy and paste the text from the ones in the builder) Also, since some of my players don't speak English that well, I translate the powers in order for them to be more...

    Stealing mounts?

    Think of Fighting Bulls... they are entirely domesticated but selectively bred and trained for a specific kind of aggression. A successful Bull (that is, one that performs "beautifully" in the eyes of the bullfight judges) can even be "pardoned" and be sent back from a bullfight without being...

    D&D 4E [4E only] What kind of miniatures do you use, if any?

    captainspud, welcome to EnWorld! Loved your pics, but I ended up with a question: ¿How do you "make your own models from scratch"??:confused:

    D&D 4E [4E only] What kind of miniatures do you use, if any?

    In the games I run, I let players bring whatever mini or counter they want to represent their characters, while I use colored glass beads for small and medium monsters If I'm having a large monster in the table, I sometimes make an impromptu play-doh sculpture, but that's not very often

    Darned! I also fell for it... oh well... While we wait for the next OotS, may I suggest taking a look at my buddy's webcomic? Nahast: Lands of Strife - Part of the SpiderForest.com Network His art is sometimes so-so, but his worldbuilding and narrative are excellent. His world is a...

    Basketball or Golf?

    My players don't go for the "most optimum set of numbers", but sometimes they seem to be competing for the "weirdest weirdo out there" prize. They suffer from the Special Snowflake Syndrome, the poor little ones...

    Alexander Macris ruined everything

    In the best interest of keeping my mouth shut when I can't say anything nice, I will only say that Mr. Macris is a master of the "damn them with faint praise" technique. He masterfully trolled the entire 4E community

    Rules Missing from the Rules Compendium

    Just wondering, since the "Full Discipline" keyword is there, if primal related keywords (like "Beast Form" or "Rage") are also mentioned... My group loves primal classes and I would be sad if they are no longer supported...

    Looking for introductory material

    Terrible Trouble at Tragidore ! <ducks>

    "Smile, you're about to die."

    My suggestion is to read the excellent "Song of Ice and Fire" series of novels by George R. R. Martin, for extensive and realistic depictions of heraldry and medieval warfare. In-game, I wouldn't give any actual bonuses for having an unusual charge in your shield, but I would still encourage...
