    WotBS WotBS Campaign Setting file for Character Builder

    So, looking into this, campaign files in the builder are really simple. They are basically save files that contain a list of official WotC game elements that are allowed in this campaign. You can filter the list by book (Martial Power, Dragon Magazine, etc) and then add or remove elements one by...

    WotBS WotBS Campaign Setting file for Character Builder

    Hm. Good idea. I'll look into doing something like this, if someone hasn't already.

    WotBS WotBS #5 - Dumb NPCs

    Thanks RW. That explains everything, I think. During the conversion, "incorporeal" was switched to the substantial state. And "corporeal" was switched to insubstantial. But the effect of the Song remained the same: it forces creatures into substantial/corporeal form. So obviously it creates this...

    WotBS WotBS #5 - Dumb NPCs

    I have no idea why people are doing it. I'm just confused as to the intent of the interaction between the Song and Madness. I definitely didn't get that impression from that one sentence alone. And, besides, Imban didn't say what effect he thought the Song had on her. Neither did RW. Before your...

    WotBS WotBS #5 - Dumb NPCs

    Yep, my only intention is to correct any errors, for the PDF or perhaps only for those reading. I'm definitely happy with the way I ran things. I quoted the relevant passage in my earlier post. It's from page 105, the "Tactics" section of "Get Malkan!". Here it is again:

    But the adventure specifically says she's in "monstrous serpentine form" after the song is used on her.

    WotBS WotBS #5 - Dumb NPCs

    That certainly did not seem to be the intent or the writer, or else I, too, horribly misunderstood things. Several places in Banquet mention Nina's reaction to the Song of Forms, most tellingly this one: This implies, strongly, that the Song of Forms is Nina's weakness (just as her stat block...

    WotBS WotBS #5 - Dumb NPCs

    I wanted to return to this thread once I got a good read of #5 in, since it felt like Imban's core issues were never addressed. If there's truly some stupid NPCs here, I'd like to resolve that before running them. I've found NPCs in Burning Sky to be one of the highlights and want to keep the...

    Mission to the Monastery of Two Winds errata

    Page 6: One possible result of the meeting with Haddin at Fire Island is that the party chases him to the troll camp. There's a Tactical Encounter link here to an encounter called "Base Camp" on page "xx" that doesn't exist. I assume the writers meant Pyramid. Page 24: The Chain Lightning trap's...

    Revised Madness Stats

    This version looks like it would be more fun than the one in the adventure. Nice work. Unfortunately, I won't have a chance to try it out. The PCs rocked Madness two weeks ago. :(

    When's "Tears of the Burning Sky" Coming?

    I work in the software business as well. And I'm coming from precisely the opposite side of the table from you, Blackbrrd. I think accurate release dates are a critical but difficult part of releases. Duke Nukem is but one example of horribly slipped release dates, there are hundreds of others...

    When's "Tears of the Burning Sky" Coming?

    Sorry to keep this going but my intentions are once again unclear. I wasn't asking to be kept informed of release dates. For a variety of reasons, they are clearly not working. So three months, one week, a month a half -- they all essentially translate to "we don't know" in EnWorld speak. That...

    When's "Tears of the Burning Sky" Coming?

    I know exactly how large EnWorld is, and as Morrus points out, that has its advantages. You're right, Morrus -- Paragon Paths was well done. You didn't know when you'd finish it, and didn't set a deadline. So I take it back, EnWorld missed five deadlines, with Tears being the sixth rather than...

    When's "Tears of the Burning Sky" Coming?

    I'm really failing at this whole "communication" thing. Maybe I don't spend enough time on message boards. I'm not saying you should be releasing them faster, nor am I asking you to divulge the details of anyone's personal problems. I completely understand and wish those folks all the best; I...

    When's "Tears of the Burning Sky" Coming?

    I get this sinking feeling that EnWorld isn't making enough money off the 4e conversion or something. If you chart EnWorld release dates for 4e on a graph, there is a linear progression towards longer and longer intervals between releases. Monastery took three months. Next weekend will be the...

    FGII version question

    Hit me up on AIM (eugene0506) and I'll be happy to get a server up for you to demo. I don't have time to actually, like, play, but I'll set you up with a campaign we're in the middle of so you can try playing around with the characters, rolling some attacks, etc.

    FGII version question

    I find FG2 to be an excellent way of playing DnD. If I ever start another live group again, I'll definitely be using it. It's an amazingly versatile piece of software. It was designed as a "pure" tabletop simulation, low in functionality, but designed to completely recreate the tabletop...

    FGII version question

    Yes, actually. I don't know why I didn't send it to Morrus earlier, but I'll do so when I send Monastary. Sorry about that.

    Jousting

    I ended up kind of making up a skill challenge on the fly that involved having a few seconds to judge your opponent (Insight, Perception) then the charge had two rolls: on in which the PCs could figure out a way to dodge the attack (Athletics, Endurance, Acrobatics) and a set Atheletics roll for...
