    D&D 4E 4e Fantasy Backdrops Discussion

    I've realized that I could probably do an entire supplement on just "Bridges," there are an insane number of variants I could come up with from crawl bridges to monkey bridges to incan bridges... and that's just rope bridges! I'm going to really have to think about how to condense all these...

    Nice visual... I like it... sort of has a floating rock/stepping stone feel to it. Okay... that's just creepy... cool, but creepy ;)

    Martial Controller: Auxiliary (Version 0.11) -Updated Preview Character (Aug. 9th)

    Okay good, I just was checking... sometimes things can be clear to me as a designer (b/c I wrote it), but not quite crystal to the readers ;) Done and done ;) That's exactly how I want control zones to play... ;) This is one thing I've been thinking about. I think it would be okay, but...

    D&D 4E 4e Fantasy Backdrops Discussion

    So I've started work on this project but wanted to get a bit of feedback on how you would like individual entries to look. Here is the set-up I'm going with at the moment. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, then please let me know and I'll see what I can do. ;) Bridges Short...

    Martial Controller: Auxiliary (Version 0.11) -Updated Preview Character (Aug. 9th)

    Oops... I forgot to change the action to a move action instead of minor action (I want this to be like staring down an area). Thanks for the catch! As for widening a widened control zone I thought the sustain entry was pretty clear that you: You sustain the same control zone targeting the same...

    Martial Controller: Auxiliary (Version 0.11) -Updated Preview Character (Aug. 9th)

    Well I'm getting ready to put together (hopefully) the final version of the Auxiliary so if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions now is the time to send them in as I'd like to have the class completed by the end of this month. Thanks to everyone who helped, the class is much better...

    I agree... if I did the Dragon approach then it would have to be a short series of columns or something like that. I think you're right... Dragon would be more appropriate.

    D&D 4E 4e Fantasy Backdrops Discussion

    Maybe I will... but we'll have to see what happens ;) I plan on selling, and one of the places I'm considering is Dragon/Dungeon although I'm trying to figure out which mag would be the best to send it to...

    D&D 4E 4e Fantasy Backdrops Discussion

    Yeah that's probably the best place to put such an idea. The weeding will definately need to happen at some point however I'd rather start with a plethora of ideas and widdle them down, than a dirth and try to scrounge ideas from the ether.

    D&D 4E 4e Fantasy Backdrops Discussion

    I'll see what I can do no promises though... since as Rechan has pointed out I probably have more than enough to fill the book twice over ;)

    D&D 4E 4e Fantasy Backdrops Discussion

    Yeah this one is definately an interesting design challenge... If I can fit it in somewhere I might try my hand at it... Yeah that would be cool... but probably a bit beyond the scope of this project. Still I've always thought it would be could to design a Gargantuan (4e term) monster with its...

    D&D 4E 4e Fantasy Backdrops Discussion

    So you'd like some rules for "taking the high ground?" ;) Cool idea... I'll add it to the list ;) I'll have to think about how to do this one as a backdrop, but I do see lots of possibilities for it ;) Tavern is definately on the list. Good idea. Yeah, I'm going to see what I can do...

    Martial Controller: Auxiliary (Version 0.11) -Updated Preview Character (Aug. 9th)

    Well I've just posted a new preview version of the Auxiliary class in the first post of the thread just in case anyone is interested in trying the class out in their home games. All I ask is a bit of feedback in return. For those who want to see the whole class, an NDA is needed and if you email...

    D&D 4E 4e Fantasy Backdrops Discussion

    So I've been thinking about how I want to lay the book out and I'm considering something like the following: Table of Contents Bridge (rope, tree, etc.) Building (burning, etc.) Canyon (ambush, etc.) Cavern (volcanic, etc.) Floor (crumbling, ice, etc.) Forest (trapped, etc.) Gateway...

    D&D 4E 4e Fantasy Backdrops Discussion

    And I am really looking forward to writing it too ;) Thanks for the suggestions they were very helpful ;) Yeah I was leaning towards not including monsters (except maybe unique ones), but rather to give DMs suggested encounters for the fantasy backdrops ;) Good ideas... and although I'm...
