    The Unemployed Adventures of Mervyn the Savvy Kobold Captive (complete short story)

    This is all from a one-shot I ran last night while my regular campaign was down due to... problems. Two players, both 3rd level, in the dungeon at the back of the DMG. All of this was improvised. When Mervyn speaks, think Paul Reiser from Aliens. Think Steve Buscemi. Mostly? Think Harry Ellis...

    The Unemployed Adventures of Mervyn the Savvy Kobold Captive (complete short story)

    The two adventurers and their kobold captive crouched in the hallway adjoining the next room. Mervyn was speaking in a low voice. "Okay, check it out. Through this next room are some traps." "What kinds of traps?" "Dart traps. Step on a floor tile, it shoots at you. Standard stuff. Trouble is...

    The Unemployed Adventures of Mervyn the Savvy Kobold Captive (complete short story)

    When "Dungeon" Bob Dungeon and Alice the dwarf had killed the two kobold skirmishers, the third kobold realized he was finished. He looked left, then right, panicking. He saw no way out and raised his arms in surrender. When Alice's blood is up, she tends to kill and then kill some more. She...

    Dr Midnight's Keep on the Shadowfell - Unbelievably updated on 7/30

    Nnnnope. I don't have any other gamers in the area, and I shudder to think of searching people out at game shops. I may have to hold out for DDI... in which case, I'm sure I could convince one or two of you good people to join me, eh?

    Dr Midnight's Keep on the Shadowfell - Unbelievably updated on 7/30

    Hey, guess what? You'll never guess. Seriously, you won't believe it. After sending an email on Monday asking if we were on for tonight and getting two positive responses, then another this morning and getting nothing, I asked one of the non-respondees and found out that he can't play tonight...

    Dr Midnight's Keep on the Shadowfell - Unbelievably updated on 7/30

    Steal ideas, enjoy. I'm not an MC or anything, I make thrash metal. I'm an ODB fan and I love the first Wu-Tang album, and besides, that picture is friggin' hilarious. We're playing tonight! Supposedly! I sent an email on Monday and received a positive response from two players, so I'm...

    WOW, is this not drawing people.

    You assigned a background to what is pretty much a chess piece. "This is Rook. He hopes to one day castle and see battle protecting his king. He's shy yet confident and resembles a medieval tower." We need more people! I'm going to end recruitment at 8 am eastern time, Saturday the 19th. If...

    Interesting implement question

    Could you cite a page number for this? I need to have concrete rules, and having to specify a use for an object in one of the books would certainly do... I agree that common sense seems to say that this is a loophole that shouldn't work, but in a hard rules situation, I don't have room for...

    Dr Midnight's Keep on the Shadowfell - Unbelievably updated on 7/30

    If anyone would like to play with me, I'm setting up a PBP Game of Death over here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=4374330 Hiya Fenzer!

    Interesting implement question

    A pact blade is both a weapon and an implement. Sneak Attack doesn't specify that the attack has to involve the weapon keyword.

    Huh. That's definitely a good question. By the book it seems to be kosher but I'm going to ask around a bit, so hold on. Privacy: Don't post anything here you wouldn't want people reading. I can be reached at imdria at gmail dot com. How much to reveal to your team about your character is...

    Interesting implement question

    Let's say a Warlock has a pact blade and the SNEAK OF SHADOWS feat. Pact blades are light blades and implements. Could the warlock use its sneak attack ability with a warlock attack power with the implement keyword? It's an attack in which you are using a light blade. I'm not really interested...

    Yes, that's enough for a stealth check. It doesn't really go along with common sense for a well-lit area but we'll be playing it by the book and making as few adjudications as possible along the way. We'll go with the suggested rules for equipment at higher levels (page 143). Select one 11th...

    Stuff from Dragon should be fine, since I can access it easily, so core books AND Dragon #364+ are allowed.

    Two teams of five will fight until one team is wiped out... then it'll be every man for himself until the sole winner is standing. Sooo design your characters accordingly. I'll not be saying much on the subject until the characters are solidified.

    Well, it's my idea, I guess I'll DM. I need 7 more players! 4th edition rules, 10th level, core books and DDI Dragon issues only. People who want in: WarlockLord FloatingDisc WalkingDad *DM invite slot* *DM invite slot* *DM invite slot* A note: last time I ran one of these here, I had to play...

    That's what makes character generation interesting. In 3.5, you could reliably win a G.o.D. with a large character wielding a spiked chain. In 4e, who knows? I've heard a theory, but I won't repeat it. Taking G.o.D. seriously is all about min-maxing and trying to find a perfect build and...
