    Rules compendium v Essentials DM kit

    Well, I don't yet have either book (although both are on my wishlist), but my impression is that Rules Compendium has all the "crunch", I mean the actual rules of the game to be used and referenced in the table, while the DM kit has a lot of the DMing advice and tools that came with the previous...

    I'd add the Dalek's "Exxxterrrrminate!!!"

    Fantasy Sound Effects Sites

    I am a little bit ashamed for admitting this, but along with some movie soundtracks playing in the background, this is the only thing I use for sound effects: Instants! Collection ;)

    Red Box Ninjas video at WotC

    Very funny... but it lacked the Gnome! :lol: WotC should commission cartoons more often... with the Gnome ;)

    Time for a new Players Handbook

    TSR did those, as the "Complete" books... Some sold great like the "Complete Fighter's Handbook" or the "Complete Book of Elves" Some sold poorly like the "Complete Book of Gnomes and Halflings" ...and most of them were filled with munchkiny cheese! As a whole, the idea bombed.

    I so... SO ... want to turn this into an adventure.

    Also read "The Lesser Evil", a short story about a villainous Snow White by polish fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski, found here: Amazon.com: The Last Wish (9780316029186): Andrzej Sapkowski: Books (This Snow White is more of a rapier-wielding rogue)

    Anyone remember this ad?

    Do we now have product placements in the forums, Morrus? ;) Just kidding... This is a great product idea, love the rummikub-style trays

    D&D is just a game...right?

    Exactly this. Just like a great novel, an excellent play, or a well-written and directed movie, a well played roleplaying game has the potential to bring catharsis to everyone in the table. That's why it is not "just" a game, it is a great game.

    Looking for a "Middle" sized campaign setting.

    Your answer is in this very website... Check out the War of the Burning Sky series of adventures. They are all set within the same area, which is a peninsula with about 6-8 nations total, all about to plunge into a huge war. Its very well written and I am having a blast playing in it.

    Look Ma- Rules Updates!

    Actually, since I have never seen a Swordmage without Intelligent Blademaster, I think it should become a class feature. Then make two feats, one where using a simple weapon as both an implement and a weapon gets a +1/+2/+3 feat bonus, and another one with a bonus to military weapons.

    Magic Item Wishlist: Yea or Nay?

    I am currently in an intermediate point I ask my players for wishlists for the entire tier they are starting, stuff they would like to have at some point during the next three or four adventures, However, the players are advised that this is not a guarantee that they will get those items...

    Monster Vault

    While I agree that the plethora of rules updates, if compiled into new products, would normally be called a new edition, I applaud WotC's decision to at least try to package them differently and with some additional goodies (adventures, tiles, tokens) that many people will want. So, call it...

    Monster Vault

    Since Fiery Dragon doesn't ship to my country, I am more likely to buy these Counter Collection 4e MM1 [BUNDLE] - Fiery Dragon | DriveThruRPG.com Counter Collection 4e MM2 [BUNDLE] - Fiery Dragon | DriveThruRPG.com Klaus, is there a similar product for PC tokens? I mean, something like a...

    Hit Points and Healing Surges 101

    Neonchameleon, I love your explanation, but at the risk of being called a spelling nazi, I must tell you that the plural of Shaman is not "Shamen"... Its etymology has nothing to do with the words "Man" or its plural "Men" Its just "Shamans" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shaman

    D&D in Target?!?!

    Excellent quote! Upon further thinking on this matter, I have come to the conclusion that a BADD-style panic is no longer likely in this day and age. "Satanism" is much less of a bogeyman for today's american parents than the previous generation, especially since many of us (yeah, I already...

    D&D in Target?!?!

    Not to derail the thread, but there's also Spiritual Warfare (look it up in the regular .pdf selling place) which is 3.5 D&D in a monotheistic, Christian world (think D&D+Narnia) It has rules for preaching and bible quoting to monsters...
