It's not too bad. I did a three session game where the players played companions of my Deva's player past life in a dream sequence. They all made 16th level characters of a different race and class than they were and they all died heroically! It was a lot of fun, sure they didn't play every...

If I don't get my game through epic my players will kill me!

Okay so I'm running an eberron game right now online and from time to time I provide the players cut scenes which gives the player a bit of information of the goings on behind the scenes. The characters themselves have no idea, so I have a critter that I've stolen from Avatar: The last Airbender...

If you have access to the old monster builder use it. It's still very functional at building and upgrading monsters. I still use it. IF they can get the online tool to that point it will become functional (that and if we can export to RTF!)

In short nope. In long Nopers! I'm still amazed at how craptacular the monster and character builders are, they've had a year with the character builder and it's still not as functional as the old one. :( The new monster builder just makes me angry in so many ways. It could be good but at the...

With Maptools, using a 4e Framework (I use deviant null's) the program is far more powerful and useful and easier to use than the VT. I can have create maps quicly, I can import maps and pictures easily. Someone also created a tool to import monsters directly from both MM1 format or MM3 format...

Here is an overview of the adventure from the players eyes: "Who is Arankiki!?" The detective was yelling at me again. How long had the interview been going on now? It seemed like hours. "I've told you. I don't know. She's like a ghost story adventurers tell one another when they want to...

Thankfully I don't have to deal with this in my campaign, but I'd houserule it that whatever weapon they use, they could also use as an impliment just to keep it simple. Whatever happened to KISS anyway, wasn't that one of the goals of 4th edition?

Yes I did a quick edit. My player through it together rather quickly so I'm not surprised there are loopholes. Besides what player doesn't love a loophole? :)

To be fair my players are a bunch of whiners! :)

What I find interesting, is that a post that I made purely for humorous reasons, ended up in a rule debate. :) In my game we run online using maptools and a framework. Turns take long enough as it is, so I roll the attack and damage all at once. And let players interrupt as necessary. Sure it...

From Step 2.

One of my player's was kind enough to help me build a monster generator tool. I hope you enjoy. DELGAR'S MONSTER GENERATOR 1. What kind of monster are you making? A. Minion. Yeah, right. Minion. Pick again when you're sober, Sunshine. B. Brute. What, are you putting on deodorant? Pick again...

One of my players in my group kindly threw this together to illustrate to the other players in my game how his ranger plays out: Combat Starts --> 1. Are you a melee-based ranger? Yes. Seriously? You're not :):):):)ing with me? Go re-roll as a rogue or barbarian :):):):):):):). No. Take out...

I say have fun with it, it's a great opportunity for the players to get some good role playing under there belt and see how the other half lives. I say go for it and have fun. Just remember that stuff will slow down as people aren't as well versed with the characters, but IN GAME that makes...

The warlord failed his save versus the ongoing 20 three times. He took 80 points of damage from it over the whole encounter. Much more than I had expected it to do. But I missed with a lot of my other attacks.

I think I may have forgot to edit the hit point total in the first thread. Each phase I had the assassin have 140 hit points. Well ongoing damage of the same type doesn't stack, so worst case scenario is I could have had everyone at 10 poison. One or two of the characters have a little poison...

Well I ran the encounter last night, so here is a brief update. The set up was that they had been hired by "The Dark Lanterns" to go to the princes birthday party and thwart the princes assasin. Basically undercover agents trying to find the assassin before he finds the prince. So, one of the...

Thanks for all the help. Games in a couple of hours and this bad boy will see the light of day, assuming I finishing making up my maptools map!

I guess it really depends on the players/group, but I stopped tracking XP years ago. And this system works great for us. I just tell them to level up when I feel they have hit a point where it makes senes. Sometimes this is before and sometimes after they would level up if I tracked xp. It's...
