Sign me up. Rozanne might come along too!

Do either of you require players to lift weights and use that to determine their character's success at opening a door? Do you have foam weapons (or otherwise) handy to help adjudicate combat? My current preferred method is "describe or RP what you want to do then roll the dice." "Good" or...

To date only one encounter has led to death in my games and it was a TPK. The final encounter in KotS. Also, the gelatinous cube was rough; it had three characters engulfed at one point. I think that combat CAN be very deadly if PCs aren't smart. For example, if they don't focus fire and let...

I find the number of true techies (people that do it for a living and actually know what they are doing) that also play D&D is remarkably low. I work for a relatively large software development consutling firm. Of the 100+ software developers I have met in my company (of about 2500 developers)...

I did a Wonders of the World thing for my new campaign. You can find it here. I don't know if it's the kind of thing you're looking for, but feel free to use and abuse it as desired: http://greyshad.blogspot.com/2008/06/wonders-of-world.html

Did you get a shipment notification? Mine (ordered in March) says delivery between today and 6/26, but it says on the site not yet shipped.

I have not read the article, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I have DM'd three sessions of KotS, so I actually have some experience playing this game. I find that 4e combat is far more complex than 3.x at low levels. The tactical options available to ALL PCs and the monsters makes...

WAHHHHHHHH! My Amazon preorder from March is also delayed. I bought a copy of the PHB yesterday from B&N, but I want my box set! Well, I guess it's good news for Wizards, anyway.

I'm sorry, did you say something, chap bloke whatever the hell ya'll call each other?

My hat of relatives no limit!

Breaking the street date, a 4th edition necromancer brings the troll back from the Shadowfell to wreck havoc on the ENWorld community again! Hm . . . how do you add a zombie template to an elite troll soldier?

I used blogspot.com for my Drow War campaign, and I'm doing the same for my 4e campaign. It's a simple to use, fully functional blog site owned by Google, that gets picked up by search engines and such. Sure, it's not a gamer specific site, but you will probably still get traffic if that's...

My players, stay out! So, with 4th edition right around the corner I'm ready to kick off my campaign in style. I have an idea for a story arc that will run much (most?) of the heroic tier of the campaign. I'm interested in hearing from fellow ENWorlders to help flesh this...

Yeah, but the runner is REALLY scared, so it's ok! :D

Win! :D

Sun? Sun!!!! No, we hates it, the bright, burning thing. It burns us and blinds us, precious.

@npiccini: I think the cleric (or the optional warlord available online) is a must for KotS. Without a cleric of warlord your PCs are limited to a single healing surge each per combat plus the single lay on hands for another healing surge that the paladin can do once per day. If the DM is...

In two sessions, ten combats using the KotS pre-gens the dwarf fighter has used Cleave maybe a dozen times and offed a minion with the splash damage maybe five or six times. He uses Reaping Strike more often to guarantee a bit of damage on a miss or an encounter/daily power. Not once has the...

Haven't fought him yet, but should see him next week, so I'll wait to vote. The PCs are 2nd level, not 1st, so should have a bit of an easier time than the 1st level parties that have faced him. Also, I've got six PCs and I'm only scaling up the non-boss encounters. So,this one will be as is...

There appears to be no limitation on flanking with ranged weapons. You must be adjacent to the target and able to attack. You can attack with a ranged weapon, but you provoke an opportunity attack if you do so. This appears not to prevent you from flanking with a ranged weapon.
