Thanks for all the great reply's everyone!

I definatly like the ticking clock idea with the captain of the town guard becomming more and more impatient.

I just had an idea. What if the 1st Skill Challenge involving the PCs being accused of a crime, it starts out as an interrogation, and then the next phase could be an escape attemp, running through the city, so they coud us things like streetwise, acrobatics (climbing buildings for example)...

Hey everyone. I am a new DM, about to set up a couple skill challenges for my players (the game is this weekend) I have never set up a SC before so I wondered if anyone could give me advice or help on how to approach this: SC#1: The player characters are accused of a crime they are not guilty...

Hey everyone, I am new to DM'ing, and am currently running a group of brand new players (this is their first experience with RPG's). We ran the adventure included in the starter set last week, and now I want do another shorter simple adventure again for our game next weekend. We are going to be...

Indeed. I like the idea of divine itervention, or an aladdin type situation, finding an enchanted item that allows the owner 3 wishes only and then the item is useless. But also, it would contain a warning against how you word your wish.

I know this spell was removed for 4th, and probobly for good reason, but i would like to include it in a campaign comming up and i was wondering how you would suggest ruling it? I believe in prevous editions, it cost a portion of the casters XP, and the effect would have negative results if...

I totally forgot about that! I will definatly check out CutePDF then!

Does anyone know if you can convert your character sheet that is generated in the official D&D character builder, into a PDF file? I dont have a printer at home and want to send a PDF somewhere to get printed. Is this supported with the Character builder?

Ah! I see. Thanks!

Okay, I dont have my books handy, so thats why I am posting htis question. 1. can a ranged attack be made counting squares diagonally? 2. How do you calculate the range of a target if they are not infront, beside, behind or directly diagonal to the character? In other words, if you cannot...

So far I have accrued a fair amount of minis. Now I dont have all the specific ones I would need for various encounters, but I figure Im just gonna use whatever Mini I can(within reason) for the monsters. I did purchase the H1 through H3 WotC modules, but i was going to start with something...

Thanks for all the advice so far! While I am intimidated a bit, and I know it wont always go smoothly, Im also very excited about being DM, and once Im comfortable enough, I cant wait go through a custom campaign with my group.

I am new to DMing in general, and will be DM for a group of new players in a couple weeks (4e), so i want to make a good impression on them for the game. When you are running an adventure, and the PCs are in a dungeon, how much of that dungeon do you have pre drawn vs how much is done at the...

Thank you very much for the advice so far, Im already picking out alot of really helpful things to do. I know the mind set of my friends pretty well, so Im gonna run off of that and run a couple Dugeon Delves first so I can get used to being DM and they can get used to RPG's in general, and we...

Hey everyone, I'm about to begin DMing (for the first time ever - 4e) with a group of friends who are mostly new to pen and paper RPG's. I had planned on running a few Dungeon Delves first, for the entire groups benefit, to get my feet wet with being a DM, and their feet wet with playing a P&P...

Interesting. If I run Kepp (and I dont why, but i really want to) I will most likely make some adjustments depending on how things go. Maybe it will be a humbling experience if they have nothing but wins up until that point.

I may start with a Delve or two, and eventually move into KotS (or at least something more beefy than a delve) if it is that challenging for newbies. Also, I wanted to just start them with pre-gen characters, but at least one person has expressed quite a bit of interest in making a new one...

I have all the tiles from the Delve except Halls of the Giant Kings, which is tough to find at a reasonable price these days. Has anyone tried the battle mat from Paizo? The GameMastry flip mat? how does it compare to the Chessex battle mat? Also, should I just get a stard paper sized...

Hey everyone, I am going to be DM'ing for the 1st time ever as a couple friends of mine who have not played D&D before got interested and wated me to run them a game for them (since they know I am a player). They are really interested in it, and I want to make a good first impression, and not...
