We hit 30% funding and posted an update that delves into the neat tricks and ideas behind "The Caverns" map. Thanks for checking it out and a special thanks to all the ENWorld backers! Link to the most recent update. [Project has been cancelled--thanks to all of our great backers for their...

Hey, thanks for the praise. It is too kind. Here's some photos to try and tempt the weak into checking it out a bit more!

Well crap. At what point is it acceptable to just decide I'm going to continue pronouncing something wrong.

Gotcha. That makes more sense but takes some of the drama out of it. So it is just a steady promise that each round will become more tense. I guess that has a really neat effect of reversing the trend of opening combat with your biggest powers and entering into a slogfest with whoever survives...

To clarify, do the d6 rolls each round stack? So if round one I roll a 3 and round two I roll a 4, are we now at +7/+7 or +4/+4? If the former, that feels like it would build wildly fast. It could be incredible if round one every looks down and sees a '6' and knows this is going to be an epic...

I always thought it would be neat to create a living survey. Just upload every feat into a database and let people vote on them. You could have two metrics. The first would be "Have you taken this feat" with some measurement to accommodate people with multiple characters. The second measurement...

I absolutely agree in principal, but there is nothing wrong with making sure people are aware with the style of game. If you're planning to run a stealth heavy game and you don't give me any notice before I create my platemail wearing Knight, I'm going to be annoyed when I'm constantly...

Just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit) banner add which I imagine is the result of some add purchaser somewhere being amazed at how high ENWorld came up for a search of WOTC and then not doing any additional research. It is perhaps my favorite add of...

I think races will matter. They probably also give you access to different backgrounds and traits in addition to actual racial powers. If I had to pick between races too powerful and races not powerful enough, I'd go with not powerful enough. I hate when what you wanted to *do* dictated what you...

Not using a grid is nice depending on the room you're playing in. It's comfy to lounge. Some folks also find it helps maintain the fantasy by not constantly referencing the minis. I personally like the grid and will keep using one even if its role becomes less important. I find adding the...

Great report and nice off-the-cuffin'.

Cheating on your tithe probably wouldn't work very well in a world where the gods take an active role in things like your powers and eminent survival. On the other hand, I doubt they'd want you to have to sell your items and be less powerful in their service just to get some extra cash.

If Wizards stop supporting 4e at all, I imagine someone will eventually produce a superior digital tool to what currently exists. As soon as additional content stops being produced, collecting and presenting it all will be eminently doable. Hence I think lack of DDI support will be a short lived...

Haven't GM'd yet, but I conceptually like it. My concern is if they introduce a wide range of movements. If the lightly armored barbarian or monk can move up, attack, and move out of the range of the platemail knight, this is going to be an issue. Otherwise I like the streamline and I think...

It isn't the same system, but in the very early days of d20/3e Mongoose came out with a book called Chaos Magic (if I recall) that was a really similar system. You might be able to mine it for ideas and I imagine you can pick it up dirt cheap.

It is interesting how different chargen is at high versus low levels for this very reason. I have no idea how it could be done, but it'd almost be nice if every five or so levels all the "choices" could be summarized in a simple template. So building a 12th level character would require picking...

I dig curses and like to make them things that are vaguely visible. So if someone was cursed with blindness, not only would they be blind and the curse couldn't be lifted except by more potent magic, but people would feel uneasy, dogs would bark, and so on. Alternatively, you could just decide...

Speculating here, but part of OPs problem might be that he isn't running the type of adventures/encounters where Survival comes up. If I'm playing a game all about pioneers pushing the boundary of human civilization in an untamed land, I probably will have a hard time understanding the role of...

Of course, that seems to depend on the edition. Sometimes dryads are looking a bit woody (3e iirc), sometimes like attractive hippies (2e), and in everything in between. I'd say nymph is the only one that consistently has attractive as a core attribute. The others can be "attractive wood...

I think the sculpts and paint are well above average (hence the vote of great), but the price is also well above average. That'd be my one complaint and why I'll keep an eye on secondary markets.
