    Ongoing Damage cards -- need suggestions for naming

    In our last session, the players were up against a deathjump spider -- a deadly foe, but less deadly if the players and DM are constantly forgetting about the ongoing poison damage! To alleviate this problem, I'm going to hand out index cards with Ongoing Damage information on them when a...

    Death of the LGS

    This is more common than you might think. Before they went out of business, at least three Shinders (a Twin Cities, MN chain) had a "back room" full of interesting materials. Granted, it didn't directly share shelf space with RPGs, comics, or trading cards, and you needed to be able to prove...

    Personally, I'm partial to Dragula.

    Do all wizards have all cantrips at 1st level?

    They likely left off two of the cantrips for space considerations, as they did the same with one of the pre-gen cleric's powers. Wizards do indeed get all four cantrips at first level.

    Do we want a Character Generator?

    I'll be writing my own, but I doubt I'll be distributing it in any fashion. I'd rather not get a C&D from WotC lawyers.

    4E Poorly Rated on Amazon...

    Would you trust a review of a cookbook by someone who didn't actually try any of the recipes?

    Sortable Monster Manual index spreadsheet with built-in encounter calculator -- v1.2

    Hm, I knew I was forgetting something. I'll add that in v.1.3. I also got a request for being able to set party size to less than 4.

    So is it fun?

    Having a blast as a player, and on top of that, even more fun designing and planning to get ready for my turn to DM.

    Sortable Monster Manual index spreadsheet with built-in encounter calculator -- v1.2

    Yay, yet more problems... :( Thanks, Malefax, for pointing out the latest one: monsters besides the first one always show up as Standard. I'll upload a new, fixed version as soon as I can.

    Sortable Monster Manual index spreadsheet with built-in encounter calculator -- v1.2

    It figures this would happen. The spreadsheet gets featured on the main page, and then I find all sorts of problems... I inadvertently deleted the formulae that are supposed to be in the "Notes" column on the Encounter Calculator. These are supposed to tell you when you have a monster that's...

    Okay, now I get what you're saying. ;) If I have time, I'll work your sorting mechanism back into mine to see how I like it.

    Sortable Monster Manual index spreadsheet with built-in encounter calculator -- v1.2

    Unfortunately, your mod removes quite a bit of functionality from the original spreadsheet, namely the ability to sort on the hidden columns. For example, I can't sort on Size, or Origin, or the presence of various keywords. Text should show up in the "Notes" fields when monsters are selected...

    Encounter calculator spreadsheet

    I've now integrated the calculator into my Monster Manual index. This is still usable as-is, but the index is much cooler. :cool:

    Sortable Monster Manual index spreadsheet with built-in encounter calculator -- v1.2

    I put together a quick encounter calculator (here) and my next move was going to be to combine the two. You're welcome to do whatever you like with either sheet. :cool:

    Encounter calculator spreadsheet

    Here's a quick-'n'-dirty encounter calculator I whipped up. Just punch in party level and size, desired encounter level, and various threats by number, level, and type (Minion/Standard/Elite/Solo) and adjust as needed to get the right balance for your encounter. The Encounter Difficulty and...
