I am a huge fan of the Dresden Files, have read all of the books and short stories, and loved the tv show (and still mourn it's loss). This new RPG is one of the most entertaining that I've ever read, and I'm chomping at the bit to play it at GenCon in another 5 or 6 weeks (give or take). All...

Also, there was a known issue that if you had the character sheet open while you were equipping weapons, it wouldn't show until you closed the sheet and opened it back up again. Don't know if they ever fixed that.

Well, that all sounds like FLUFF for the most part, which if you want it is just fine, more power to you. But for me, at least in this particular case, I really just need to make sure all the rules are lined up, so I've got it easy! I'm sure my group will sit and have discussions about the...

Honestly, what's missing from 4e to make it more "X-Crawl"-like? The only thing I can think of is how to handle Signature Moves, otherwise I think it's a function of HOW you play it. I've been seriously considering an X-Crawl 1-shot for my friends while at GenCon using 4e. Probably just have...

In addition to running a 4e campaign, I am also playing Corporation and CJ Carella's Witchcraft. And having a ball with all 3.

I wouldn't allow it, only because it's a Martial power, which in my game means the character is taunting them in some fashion or otherwise goading them to approach. But that's me.

We've never named any of the parties in our D&D games until the 4e game I'm running right now, and it wasn't intentional. I'm running the WotC modules, and during Keep on the Shadowfell the PC's keep running into a gang of slavers called the Bloodreavers. So when they'd run up against another...

I don't know if you noticed, but they also bookmarked the pdf, so you can jump right to the first page of each book's changes, which gets you right to the new changes immediately.

For the 4e game I DM, we use minis for the characters and Fiery Dragon counters for the opponents. But I plan on using minis for some of the more prominent opponents further down the road.

This. There is a known "bug" that if you have the character sheet open when you make changes, it doesn't update the sheet. So rule of thumb is to always make sure the character sheet isn't open before you make changes. This fixes a lot of the inconsistencies that are generally reported, at...

I have to agree here. Depending on the power being used, I may or may not allow a zig-zag push like that. If it's a Martial power, which is typically explained as something like "your actions force the target to back away from you" or something like that, probably not. All depends on the...

For our D&D games, we use minis for the pc's and counters for everything else.

We had one player in my 4e game that was consistently rolling like crap - but in the other 2 games (1 as a player and 1 as a GM) he rolled just fine. We decided that something was messing up the Feng Shui at the gaming table, so he and another player switched places - and now the bad rolling...

The group I play with uses gaming paper all the time now. We picked some up at GenCon for our personal games during the Con evenings, and also shmoozed with the gaming paper folks at their booth. On the last day, one of their guys saw us playing and using the paper, took some pictures, and...

According to the text, the Target is "one creature", so yes you can shove an ally, and that ally can also be the recipient of the shifting.

Just a suggestion Nebulous, but you should really put that image inside spoiler tags. It's throwing the page formatting off and making this extremely difficult to read.

I've done that with my campaign, but even though I have some magic items restricted, they all still show up on the list, unlike the Feats and other things. Would be nice if they trimmed that down according to the restrictions as well.

I ran "playtests" in my normal slot every third week for 6 months, using the pregen characters from DDXP and fan adventures like Raiders of Oakhurst. All of the players traded off which pregen they were playing so they could try different ones out, and then after we all had the PHB for a while...

Is is just me, or does anyone else not get through with links to the wotc forums? Every one takes me to the main community page, regardless of whether or not I'm already logged in. I never get right to the post that was linked.

Has anyone done an analysis of Hybrid class synergies like Asmor did with the Multiclass rules?
