    Dark Sun Game Day

    Which is your FLGS? I'm going to try to get along to Good Games (in the city), as it seems to be the only one advertising a games day near me, but it's going to be a bit of a trek. yeah, I don't know why WotC Australia is so poor at getting things here on time. Usually, some stores won't even...

    Tomb of Horrors RPGA DM Reward

    ok, my poor perception check was at cause for this one. Found it now...in the same room as the first! vagabundo - i think they did mail them out in lots last year, so you still might get yours!

    Tomb of Horrors RPGA DM Reward

    Anyone played through it yet? I had a read through, andhad two big questions. ** SPOILERS ** First, where's the second half of the First Key? The first half is in one of the vats, but I cannot find the second half! Second, what is the go with the final room? There's a keyhole in the...

    Is WotC's policy of no 4.5 good or bad?

    The issue is the need to repurchase books. I didn't mind 3.5, but that was because I didn't own any 3.0 books, so nothing there got wasted. If 4e was to move to 4.5e, and I had to repurchase all the books I had, then I simply wouldn't do it. Many of my 4e books have seen little use, so I...

    D&D 4E The still "complete" list of official 4E products, now with 2011!

    Just got an email from Amazon: and indeed, they have shifted the release of the Creature Catalog back to the 31st August. WotC hasn't changed their date yet, but then, it's WotC :p Is this only for Amazon, or is it a general shift?

    Dark Sun: Weapon Breakage Rules, Can They Be Better?

    I still think it encourages people not to use the rule. Auto-breaking of a weapon does not make up for a possible reroll. All my players who I have talked about it with believe they will not use the rule as written. I would prefer something that both encourages people to risk the weapon...

    First Dark Sun Excerpt!!!

    I don't understand how arcane users are meant to 'bluff' that they are really psionic when they don't all wear one of those nice class-defining headbands! :p

    Tomb of Horrors RPGA DM Reward

    Just received my ToH RPGA award (in Australia). Shame the postman cannot read the largely displayed "DO NOT BEND" note in the envelope... I will have to see if a few days of being pressed flat under a pile of other books helps out!

    July Errata is up

    Hand of Radiance was better than Magic Missile when it first came out. It is even better than most striker at-will powers!

    Dungeon Tiles Master Sets - Not a good deal?

    I believe there is also some sort of case that stores the tiles in the set, too? At least, that was suggested a while back. I hope its still part of the pack.

    Damage of two types but immunity to one

    mneme: One thing I cannot grasp from your take on this rule is as follows: A "Fire and Cold" power, by your ruling, would be weaker than a "Fire" or a "Cold" power. A simple "Fire" or "Cold" power would be effective against anyone not immune to Fire or Cold, whereas one that does both damage...

    The Dark Sun Weapon Breakage Rule - How do you feel about it?

    Not really sure I like it - an automatic penalty for a possible benefit just doesn't feel good. Loosing yoru weapon *and* missing is too much of a penalty, and doesn't feel fun. My idea would to be make it more like: with a natural 1, you can reroll, but if you miss, your weapon breaks. (this...

    What rule does your group ignore?

    Personally, I'm surprised that people have a problem with daily magic item powers. I just tick them off when using them, add one, along with an AP, when we reach a milestone. I'd have no desire to drop their use. Now, levelling and retraining... yeah, for our group, who can only get together...

    Desert of Athas Dungeon Tiles

    A bit disappointing that the 3D elements are largely the same as the last set, but overall, the tiles do look nice!

    Moving a grabbed creature

    And thus, push / pull / slides still break grabs?

    Moving a grabbed creature

    Really? Where are these from? The compendium still has this, which says:

    Is the Monk overpowered?

    We have a mini-game going currently, with a rotating DM and a bunch of strikers. This round, we had a rogue and a monk as the party, and I don't think there was a single round where the rogue couldn't get his sneak attack off. Partly, being a drow helped (with darkfire / globe of darkness)...

    Starblade Furry: Best Monk feat ever?

    ...so, this thread *really* needs to get renamed, doesn't it? :p

    Nope, you can charge past. See attached. You can also do other crazy things like zig-zag about the place...
