    "4E, as an anti-4E guy" (Session Two)

    We use an offset square grid as opposed to hexes (same principle) and use cones for blasts in my 4e game as was suggested when the initial conversations here on EN World about the 1-1-1 vs 1-2-1 topic came up. While true you cannot have 8 opponents surrounding one, this has not been an issue...

    Why Did No One Tell me? Ultimate Toolbox!

    At first, I was a bit put off by the price as well, I admit, but $30 for a game specific PDF like the ones that WotC put out is a bit different, though. After consideration, the material in this book is edition and system neutral. No matter what (fantasy) game I play, the information in here...

    AD&D 3?? Perhaps some can help me find this

    I believe that this is what you seek: Castles & Crusades

    Why Did No One Tell me? Ultimate Toolbox!

    Thanks again for a great book. I picked up the original in PDF and I have been looking forward to getting this one in PDF as well. I had a lot of fun browsing through this last night. At last some relief for the apes. ;)

    Exclusive details on the DDI API (not a repeat...)

    The second part of the info on the API went up D&D Insider: Compendium API - Part 2 yesterday. One thing to note is that in my testing, null is needed instead of NULL in the filters. I saw the KeywordSearchWithFilters method the other day, but now that the filter strings have been disclosed...

    What was the difference between the 3s? Forked Thread: Anyone still using 3.0?

    I am glad this is still being hosted somewhere since the original seems to be offline now: Changes for Dungeons and Dragons 3.5, collected by Steven Cooper It has a nice way of showing what changed.

    Exclusive details on the DDI API (not a repeat...)

    Asmor, from your article, http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/CompendiumSearch.asmx/KeywordSearch?Keywords=mind+flayers&tab=Monster Using + works fine.

    Exclusive details on the DDI API (not a repeat...)

    Right. I understand that this is totally different from screen scraping and it is clear that they are documenting the API. I took a look at the Compendium Search service and noticed that everything accessible through its operations is data that is accessible to the public without having to...

    Exclusive details on the DDI API (not a repeat...)

    Yeah, I guess you are right. That is what has been done thus far is to send C&Ds. But I figured they'd go to account banning before that if you were automating the extraction of data and they didn't like it. The only reason I had not taken an interest thus far was to avoid getting my account...

    Exclusive details on the DDI API (not a repeat...)

    Exactly. And in the member terms of service for DDI it says in the first paragraph that "In the event of a conflict between these Member Terms and the TOU, these Member Terms shall control." There is a section under "2.User Content; Intellectual Property Ownership; Rights Granted to You": I...

    Exclusive details on the DDI API (not a repeat...)

    Considering how legal happy things have been over the last bit, I will be interested to see getting access to the data in the next Gaming in Code article because according to the terms of use when you sign up you agree not to do this. Wizards of the Coast If this is now not the case, then I...

    WotC: Character Builder's effect on Third Party Publishers

    The Character Builder is not a necessity in my game. We build characters by hand when we need to, which is not often so far. My players prefer the Advanced Players Guide classes over their WotC equivalents (Druid/Nature Priest and Barbarian/Savage Warrior), and I do as well. Only one of my...

    GMs, What Plots do you use a lot?

    I'm a sucker for cults or evil religions. I find I use them far too often. Usually they are creating undead or summoning something. Maybe I'll pick up a few ideas from this thread.

    Swords & Wizardry?

    I recently spent some time reading through these rules. The Core Rules seem to be a OD&D (the original three booklets) recreation with select additions from some of the later supplements most notably Supplement I: Greyhawk. The White Box version tries to be as faithful as possible to just the...

    Battlemats

    This is what I do as well, except I picked up lined poster board and used a pencil to make the lines a bit clearer. We've been using the same board since 3rd edition came out. Its been a great investment for our game. For my 4th edition game, I picked up another poster board and drew...
