My first thought - if they put an adventure of this size in every month's dungeon, that's 2/3 the value of a monthly subscription right there.

I was thinking about 4E’s combat system the other day in the context of the only real-life combat that I’ve ever experienced – high school wrestling. The more I thought about it, the more a few of the different aspects of the new combat system made sense as a way to model a wrestling meet...

The problem with this is that, if you plan to play the character into the epic levels, you'll end up with an odd number in both wisdom and intelligence. So, his Wis would be 19 at 4th, 20 at 11th, 21 at 14th, 22 at 18th, 23 at 21st, 24 at 24th, and top off at 25 at 28th. His Intelligence would...

I agree - great build, would be tons of fun to play. Another way to address the initial squishiness would be to swap Cha and Con. The 12 in Con would help a fair bit - I expect the extra healing surge would be particularly useful. Then you could put your stat bumps at 4th and 8th level into...

First off - and I promise that this is not intended to sound snarky - hard returns are your friend. Huge blocks of text with no whitespace are difficult to read. Second - while I understand where you're coming from, I don't really agree. There seem to be two main points to your complaint: 1-...

Indeed. Here's a list. Glancing through, the only ones that don't strike me as being great inspiration for a fantastic location are the modern "happy resource" wonders (like Hollywood), the Space Elevator (unless I was playing Spelljammer...), and the Three Gorges Dam (although that may be...

The two-year old mud volcano near Surabaya, Indonesia. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany Wadi Rumm, Jordan Well of the birds, (Tawi A'Ta'ir) Oman Al-Ain on Jabal Al Akhdar, in Oman (Here's the full post - scroll down a bit.) Majlis Al Djinn, Oman The cave system linking Yucatan's sinkholes, Mexico

I would definitely purchase this sort of product. I frequently find myself living places where there are no other RPG-ers (I currently live in Muscat, Oman, and will be moving to Surabaya, Indonesia next year). I'm not a huge fan of computer RPGs - I find they tend to inhibit my imagination...

My Guess: Barbarian Bard Druid Illusionist Shaman Sorceror T??? Warchief (I kid - I really don't have any idea for this one.

One thing to consider is that some races (such as Eladrin) seem to have more useful non-attribute bonus racial features (Fey step, +1 Will defense, etc.) This is balanced by the fact that both of Eladrin's stat bonuses (Int and Dex) "feed into" Reflex, and so the Eladrin's stat bonuses aren't...

Except the Tarrasque in 4E exerts a zone of gravity that prevents flight.

One thing to consider is to convert the character concept from your old character to the new one, and not necessarially the character class. In other words, figure out the essence of your character, and then try to recreate that in the context of the 4E system. This may mean that your...

Don't forget that this isn't a review of the game. It's not a review of the mechanics. Rather, it's a review of the books as a product. He's focusing on things like layout, presentation, and content. Viewed from that angle, I think it's a remarkably balanced review. He talks about what he...

Perhaps they're really Mini Chlorines?

I like this idea.

True, but these maps don't have those pesky skirmish markings all over them. I'm happy to have a copy of these maps for RPG use only.

Interesting tidbit from the KotSF spoilers (I got mine specifically from this thread over on the giantitp boards) - of the five second-level utility powers shown, only the Rogue's "Tumble" is an encounter power. The other four are all dailies. Not sure how siginificant this is, but I thought...

Al Qadim: I'll second the Sha'ir. Spelljammer: My first thought was for some sort of Pilot class, but then every party would need one, so it would probably be better to simply create rules that would allow any character to power the ships. Perhaps a Sailor/Swashbuckler type would be appropriate?

I tend to live places that don't have any other D&D players, so I'm all for opportunities to meet and play with groups online.

Interesting article. I'm a fan of weapon groups, so I'm happy to see them in 4E. I'm kind of dissapointed that the preview didn't show the numbers for any actual weapons though. I was hoping to see something like the earlier Pick preview, but with explanations for exactly what each column in...
