    Keep on Shadowfell pre gen PC's

    My guess at the 5 Dragon Born Fighter Eladrin Wizard Dwarven Cleric Human or Halfling Rogue Tiefling Warlock I think that one poster is right that they will want to show off the new races of DragonBorn , Tiefling, and Eladrin. I think the 5 classes are the ones that are "done" in Races and...

    D&D 4E I'm Not Sure I Can Afford 4e

    Point 3 "Originally Posted by Turanil 3) (I believe the main factor) The huge and sore economical recession that is coming will eventually kill WotC. "As long as WotC remains under the tight grip of Hasbro, I don't see this happening." I totally agree. Hasbro is a major corporation and a...

    D&D 4E Opinions on the 4E preview books...

    Previews I got R & C for Christmas, but at $20.00, the price was a little steep. WotC is still pushing/fishing warforged as core. That would drasticially warp my view of 4E-no robots' for me, Ian.

    D&D 4E FR 4E SPOILER - Grand Histoy of the Realms info

    So D&D has found MTG It sounds like at least for Forgotten Realms that WotC has spent one mana and tapped Nevinyrral's Disk. Time to look at that Kalamar stuff maybe??? Ian

    Do you think 6 months are enough for playtesting?

    6 months enough? No way and testing mostly through RPGA? It has been my experience that the best games are not RPGA. Who you really want testing are the guy & gals who have been playing the game for 10 -15 years. They are a loyal core group , and have long experience on what is game breaking...

    Do you keep players in your group who don't contribute?

    Non Contributing Players Quiet does not mean non contributing. Another poster made a good point about the guy who kept track of everything. I have seen good players that were very non vocal such as a guy who helps set up battle maps, knows the rules without looking stuff up, acts like a game...

    Do you keep players in your group who don't contribute?

    General - Do you keep players in your group who don't contribute? We interview them before. Sometimes a few of us go to dinner to talk to potential new members.We lay out expectations (like when the game runs you usually need to be here) and let the guy know personal pet peives of some of the...

    Running Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

    EtCR-spoilers I guess it depends how you play the game. I guess I have taken some liberties by letting him have all the spells from the Complete Mage, Arcane, & Spell Compendium. He let loose with a Many Jaws and a Blood Star combo that was very, very nasty. Strahd in my game just got free of...

    Opinions on Gesalt Characters?

    Gestalt I ran a farily long gestalt campaign. It is a power upgrade that works best in parties of three or less. I had a Fighter/Cleric, Druid/Wizard, & Warmage/Rogue- later we got a Paladin who just wanted to be a paladin-no gestalt. The game ran pretty well. The biggest limiting factor is...

    Running Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

    Sr Its because vampires do not get spell resistance. Giving him Spell Resistance makes him over the top, and if your party wizard is using the orb spells or spells like them -Hail of Stone, a waste of time. My players now have: Dwarven Fighter Half Orc Barbarian Human Paladin of Kelemvour...

    Running Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

    EtCR If you want you can look at our D & D blog- a rendering by one of our players (BBR on this board). It gives a blow by blow discription of what has happened: http://cincidnd.blogspot.com/ BBR does an excellent job of recounting what has happeded in the game. It also has some of our other...

    An Examination of Differences between Editions

    Differences in editions One huge difference for me was the way the "basic party" went from 6 PC's to 4 PC's. In 2nd Ed, a very basic and effective group was 3 fighter types, a Cleric, Rogue, & Wizard. Sure you could do a huge variety of variations, but 3 Fighter (types), a Cleric, Rogue, and...

    What books would you like to see WOTC do

    what I'D like to see "And thank god for that. When the revolution comes, this view of the "party" as a monolithic, mechanical construct with characters as cogs, instead of a group of diverse individuals who share a common interest, will be first against the wall." Revolution or not, a D & D...

    What books would you like to see WOTC do

    Books I 'd Like to see The Complete Adventuring Party Stategy and Tactics Tips & Tricks for a 4 PC party. How to build a party, Strategy and Tactics Spell Enhancements for Party members The PHB2 had a small section on this which was OK, but it was for newbies and was very basic. So many...

    Do you allow murder within the party?

    Pvp In the old days if guys were dertermined to kill another PC I allowed it, but I made an announcement to the group that if they were wanting to play in a deadly game then everything goes, and that included the DM running the monsters top speed, and no DM "fudging" to keep players alive...
