    "The Trial of Echoed Souls" 4e status update?

    Sorry, I must be misunderstanding something. The preview is in the subscriber area, so folks like liggetar aren't able to see it. Right? I dunno... I'll just shut up.

    WotBS Fantasy Grounds 2 Version of WotBS

    I *completely* convert all the PDF content that's convertable into usable FG2 stat blocks and data blocks and such. Most maps are normalized to 50px in order to be "friendly" with FG2's grid. All NPCs have their own stat blacks with rollable attacks, effects, defenses, and everything else you...

    "The Trial of Echoed Souls" 4e status update?

    Ah. So what happens to people who are not community supporters but paid the $50 for the sub? Doesn't matter for me, just trying to pre-empy liggetar's question.

    "The Trial of Echoed Souls" 4e status update?

    No, just a preview. Morrus's definition of "imminent" is... uh, rather fluid.

    Deception, Revealed Early!

    Exactly the kind of suggestions I was hoping for, one I couldn't have thought of on my own. Thanks a ton, Ryan. I will do exactly that and post the results!

    Deception, Revealed Early!

    This is a DM-only post, boys and girls. Players, do not read this thread. Good, now I don't have to bother with spoiler tags. So, we just started Tears. We're on our second session and so far it's been awesome. So much of the campaign has been building up to this adventure, so many threads...

    WotBS Fantasy Grounds 2 Version of WotBS

    War of the Burning Sky #6: "Tears of the Burning Sky" War of the Burning Sky #6: "Tears of the Burning Sky" is now available. The sixth module, "Tears of the Burning Sky" has been completed and can be downloaded from the War of the Burning Sky homepage. The password to the zip is the answer...

    Just how popular was DnD? Did kids really play it during lunch? (red box nostalgia)

    I heard about DnD from a friend of mine on the middle-school bus. There was no way for me to get my hands on one of these books so I asked him to photocopy me the ADnD 2e PHB. A week later I held in my hand a few dozen sheets of paper with PHB pages photocopied on them. My friend had to pick and...

    DMG & DMG2; need both?

    I think "learning to play" can be parsed in different ways. If you mean the core mechanics of the game, I think the vast majority of them are in the PHB. Those that are not have, for the most part, been eratta'd (the DCs table and the NPC damage/atk/defense table). Mechanically, you'll struggle...

    Future of WotC PDFs: Unofficial Sneak Preview?

    Fair enough. You're right, I brought my personal opinion of the PDF situation into this, which wasn't my intention. Honestly, I just want PDFs of these products because they make my life easier. And this little sneak preview might mean I'll soon be able to purchase them. That seems like...

    DMG & DMG2; need both?

    I can only speak from my own experience, and I've only learned to DM once (like many people here, I suspect ;) ). It was a very long and torterous learning experience starting with 2e in middle school, all the way through 3e, 3.5e. It wasn't until I was 23 and starting 4e that I felt I could...

    Future of WotC PDFs: Unofficial Sneak Preview?

    So I got an e-mail a few days ago telling me my DDI subscription would expire in a month or so, and there was a link I was supposed to click after it expired in order to renew it. I thought that was kind of a weird way of renewal, and figured I'd try to renew now. I click the link and am taken...

    "The Trial of Echoed Souls" 4e status update?

    :erm: It's been three months since Tears (which itself took three and a half). Not asking for any dates here, since we had a length discussion about that, the result of which was "no one knows WHEN." Anything you can tell eagerly-awaiting customers about what state the module is currently in...

    WotBS WotBS Soundtrack

    Strongly agree with Drazulfel. Dragonforce is great when it comes to playing Guitar Hero, but it just doesn't suit a fantasy setting. Unless all your players are speed metal fans, they will most certainly be turned off by it. If you can get your hands on some music from companies like Immediate...

    D&D 4E Warhammer-esque wounds in 4e

    I decided to try these rules out in my group's level 25 Scales of War campaign. They had stretched themselves quite thin attacking Pelor's Dawnbell tower and several PCs were out of surges or only had one left. They knew they had to fight the "boss guy" at the top of the tower, and do it now...

    WotBS Fantasy Grounds 2 Version of WotBS

    Drat, I should have taken that royalties scheme Morrus offered me in exchange for the modules! I opted for a complimentary EnWorld pony instead and it's been nothing but trouble. Glad you're enjoying the modules in any case. I'm working on Tears now. I'm pretty sure it'll be done by this time...

    One Inch Battlemaps

    Those maps weren't normalized properly, is my guess. I didn't normalize most of the maps from the first module. I really should do that. Since I'm short on time these days and converting Tears is my priority at the moment, I'll try to briefly explain the normalization process. Step 1) Use any...

    1 inch scale battle maps

    Me too. There have been a number of threads about this. I've sent a PM to Steve Muchow, the writer who made the 4e maps, and haven't heard back. Morrus was unenthusiastic when presented with the idea of getting ahold of him. Hopefully once Steve sorts of whatever's keeping him busy, he'll see...
