Dang, still locked out here.

Yeah, been getting the same issues all weekend. Trying to follow shortcuts to bookmarked threads, links in the WotC emails I have received, or even directly from their front pages, all give me the same error.

Played the Boss Monster dragon today; against a party of four 23rd level folk (fresh from a long rest), it worked well. No one was caught by the initial scene-changing attack, and barely anyone was hurt, so I only gave them a recharge of one encounter power (no surge). The second stage was...

I definitely agree that the inability to buy uncommon items is annoying. I very strongly want this to be an *option*, not forced on me so I have to change all my current campaigns to these new, less-than-efficient treasure rules :( Additionally, I am also annoyed that every human character has...

:p Since the "drop two items" idea from the DSCS drops wealth by about 35-40% (largely depending on group size), if you give new characters an item of level +1, an item of level -1, and 10% of the gold of an item of level -1, this comes in that same rough 35-40% mark. They'd get two good items...

How do you think the changes of stage help with this? Conditions on the dragon will end at the end of each stage, and each stage's transitions allow the dragon to move. So he should be breaking free from anything the party place on him at least twice in the combat. If this were to happen, a...

heh :p fair enough! Glad that that little bit of info makes the boss seem better-fitting :D If there were the normal party of five, I would definitely be reworking a number of the elements, as you suggested above. Yah, it's pretty good! There are also organised soccer and football games, as...

Thanks! :) And thanks for your in-depth reply! I will admit that it was tailored to a group of 4, so it didn't need that many burst attacks - that, and it would rarely get more than two of the PCs in such an area. I was refocusing the attacks around not doing pure damage, either - stage 1 has...

"Sounding Awesome" is a good place to start, so thanks :)

I follow a handful of DnD blogs and podcasts. One I have recently stumbled upon is The Angry DM, who has written a series of articles on "DM Boss Fights": part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 Go ahead and read them - I'll be here when you get back :ridin OK, so the idea really intrigues me - I have...

Yeah, WotC Australia is apparently less than proficient when it comes to new releases. Amazon was able to get them here quicker (and cheaper) than WotC's Australia branch...

I really like the idea of Dark Sun, and was hopign to get along to see what they did with the adventure. Sadly, that didn't happen. Though someone from GG, after apologising for the misleading information, noted that they had copies left over of the game (well, they should have, after not...

Has someone mentioned this yet? From here: Uh...the basic function of the Action Point is to get another action...

Wow, that is real bad! I am someone who has no FLGS, and cannot affort the hour-or-so it would take to travel to the closest game store to play. (and when I try to do that, I have bad experiences...) What is WotC's obsession in trying to dictate where (at a games store) and when (encounters...

So, how did others go? I turned up to the game store, after being assured that it was on, to find out that my efforts (of travel and baby-looking-after with my wife) were in vain, the guy at the desk had no idea what I was talking about. So thanks, Good Games Sydney, for sending me on that...

yeah, that's pretty poor. And it's nothing that a "search [xx]" wouldn't have found!

Ah, yeah a little out of my way. (a whole different state ;) ) have fun!
