My friends and I are going to our first Gen Con, and we noticed that there are a lot of slots open for RPGA events. How do we go about joining the RPGA so that we can enjoy these games? I tried navigating through the process at the Wizards site, but I can't figure out if I'm signing up for...

A big one that still inspires me is the World of Greyhawk boxed set from 1e. When my 11 year old self unfolded those hex-maps of Oerth, my jaw dropped. I wanted to go everywhere.

I remember my 2e years as being extremely fun. 2e -- from 89 to 99 -- exactly overlaid my years in high school and college (with a year added on either end). It will always be the D&D of my adolescence. Earlier, we played 1e and BD&D extensively, and every one of us transplanted whole to 2e...

The 3 ghost adventurers skill challenge didn't seem very organic to me. They have no ties to the overall plot at all (except that they got killed by the Guardian), and seemed shoehorned in to provide the PCs with some advance warning as to what awaited them. Of course, going in blind to the...

Dunamin, thanks for reviewing Spindle! An earlier iteration had him with the Light Shield Proficiency, and I forgot to remove it from his summary. I've edited it, replacing it with Warrior of the Wild, so it should be good to go now. Thanks for the kind comments! Eryndur

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that you should hurry. I understand the workload you guys have, trust me. :confused: I'm just uber-excited to get into this, because I have experience with PbP, but not with a Living World. Can't wait!

Submitted my elven cleric Spindle for approval yesterday! Looking forward to what you guys have to say about him! Eryndur

Awesome. Thanks so much!

Hi everyone! I've spent the entire day scouring the forum and wiki, and now I'm concocting a character submission. Huge props to those who have lent their creative, organizational, and technical skills to this living world. The Transitive Planes are just plain awesome. I'm submitting an elf...

I noticed that when I was filling in the math for my AC, that the template still adds my dex bonus, even though I'm wearing heavy armor. Heavy armor negates the ability bonus to AC, no? Any way to fix this?

Awesome guys. That was precisely what I was looking for, but was too lazy to do. Thanks for doing the work for me!

Has anyone broken down the treasure parcel allocation in Thunderspire Labyrinth, based on the most likely path PCs will take? Speaking of which, does anyone else feel that it'd be nice if WotC if provided treasure parcel information in their published modules? Obviously, they use the rules...

I allowed the rogue to grab the gluepots, now that I think about it, and use them without penalty. In fact, it was a lifesaver, because he used them to immobilize Irontooth. I ran that encounter as written, and if Irontooth was able to wade into melee throughout the entire battle, a TPK would've...

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up!

Apologies if this has been discussed previously. Possible KotS spoilers follow. Running KotS last night, the party fought the group of hobs in Area 13, which contained a hob warcaster wielding a "shock staff". When the party wizard saw the staff in action, he immediately stated his desire to...

Ah, you are correct. I forgot the difference between total cover and superior cover. Thanks for clearing that up!

I'm not sure if this a mistake, but I definitely don't understand it: The Paragon Tier Feat "Point Blank Shot" on p.204 states, "If you make a ranged attack against a foe within 5 squares of you, your attack ignores cover and concealment, including superior cover but not total concealment."...

I'm still a bit confused. Consider this brief scenario, based on Harr's interpretation, and tell me if I'm understanding things correctly: Enemies abound within the room, so at least one has line of sight to the rogue at all times. The rogue slips behind a 2x1 chunk of wall as a move action. He...

SPOILERS FOR KotS and DMG BELOW! I was Nifft's DM for the kobold lair encounter. I had fun running the encounter, and it was pleasantly tense (at least from where I was sitting) when things came down to the wire. So, using hindsight, it's easy for me to say that the encounter worked, no...

Our firmly established group in Manhattan is seeking a new player. We primarily play D&D, but are currently running Star Wars Saga in anticipation of a wholesale move to D&D 4e come June. We have had numerous hiccups in the past with regard to the 'eccentricities' of new players, so we would...
