    Web Enhancements and FAQ for Keep on the Shadowfell?

    The most aggravating part of all of this as it relates to the damn FAQ. If you do a search for it on their websites, it won't find it. No where will it be found. UNLESS you click on Help. And they wonder why people hate their website? And get us thinking that it's put together as if their web...

    I can confirm, that I just picked up my copy 42 minutes ago. I got it at The Source Comics and Games in St. Paul MN. (Falcon Heights, but you know what I mean. If you know what I mean.) Looking through it now.

    The new point-buy?

    Let's consider a possible alternative, that I mentioned, in the Thalmin KotS module thread. Starting at 8 across the board. 8=0 9=1 10=2 11=3 12=4 13=5 14=6 15=7 16=8 17=9 18=10 Now, the array build. 16,14,13,12,11,10 08,06,05,04,03.02 = 28 point buy. 1 for 1. The 17 and 18, are the only...

    Keep on the Shadowfell character sheet scans

    Actually using the humans as only getting a single +2 to a stat. And using the 1 for 1 point buy method at least up to 16. They work out to 28 point buys. Just because I can extrapolate it and manipulate the math to support my 28 point buy method. It doesn't mean it's right, or that it really...

    Keep on the Shadowfell character sheet scans

    Lurker, I did add them up the old way. Remember, I dropped the highest scores in each character by 2. In order to get these numbers. Dragon born, 16,14,13,12,11,10 (30 Points). Dwarf 14,14,14,13,11,10 (28 Points). Half-elf 14,14,14,13,11,10 (28 Points). Halfling 16,14,13,12,11,10 (30 Points)...

    Keep on the Shadowfell character sheet scans

    Well if that's the method, and I don't like it at all. Not one bit. But if that is.. the Dragonborn and Halfling both are 32. The Dwarf & Half-elf are 31's, and the human wizard is only 29. Either way.. no matter the method of swinging it. Those numbers don't add up. And seriously if that's...

    Keep on the Shadowfell character sheet scans

    I added up the stats using traditional point buy. And did it by dropping the two highest stats by 2 for every character. And the Dragonborn Paladin is a 30 point build. The Dwarven Fighter is 28 Points. Half-Elf Cleric 28 Points Halfling Rogue 30 points Human Wizard 28 points The three...

    Redesigning the D&D website

    Seriously, I find going to their website is an experience that borders on the amateur. Just enough to show a presence, but nothing at all seems professional. Your redesign, immediately grabbed me and made me want to explore the site. Someone over there better wake the hell up. They talk about...

    Smuggled photos

    For me the part I find entertaining, the picture of the dragon, fighting the party in the Character Classes picture there. Would of made a much cooler cover for the book. Instead of the image that is there. Action on the cover draws peoples eyes. Awkward poses and a goofy looking dragonborn...

    Here's the new d20 logo

    Uhm, wow, I really don't like that at all. It's just not very eye catching in the good way.

    D&D 4E New 4E Class: Gunner?

    I myself love blending fantasy with magic and steampunk. Always have. And for me it allows much greater freedom of storytelling. So I've included guns in my game for a long time now. In 3.5 I used a dice approach to dealing with the differences, essentially giving a guns a higher median damage...

    Huge Cover Images from CNET article

    Okay, my evaluations on this is more along the lines of. Not bad overall. Just missing a certain pinache that could of turned these covers from 2D flat images, to something that really pops off the covers. Depth would of done these works a huge deal. And I think WAR is really, good at what he...

    Complete Dungeons of Dread Photo Gallery

    This new set, which I'm still excited about, as it should have a lot of iconic mini's in it. Looks pretty damn bad relatively speaking. For example if you pull up the desert of desolation, and compare it side by side with this new set. You can see the differences as stark as day. Take a look at...

    Playtest Reactions: "Return of the Burning Plague"

    Thanks it was a good read. And your group of players seems very similar to my group. Were all just waiting for the new edition. Me?? I'm very excited about getting this new version. As I've said before, back last year, I was getting completely burned out on D&D. There was just so much work...

    Sample skill challenge

    Actually, looking at this. I see some ideas, and my take on it. Right or wrong.. What's the goal of the players in town. This part is where you flesh out just some base brush strokes. Letting them know they've arrived at the village, and noticed the state of said, village, troops that are...

    The Rouse and &

    I know this & thing is probably just a 4E April Fool's Joke. But really, someone changing their name to a Symbol, and only getting a few bucks off the D&D materials is kinda an insult. Especially since it will cost them money to do it in the first place to make the changes, so why not ... you...

    D&D 4E Would you buy 4E if it were not open/had no licenses for 3rd party companies?

    To answer this.. in 2 years, you would of been looking at a haunted field where we all were waiting for 4th edition to come along, as 3.5 really is part of the 3rd edition cycle, and was nearing the end of it's dominance, as more and more folks were just starting to really get tired of the glut...

    D&D 4E Would you buy 4E if it were not open/had no licenses for 3rd party companies?

    I will buy it irregardless of 3rd party offerings. But I think it would do an incredible disservice to the game, the company, the players and the shareholders. A larger diversity in moderation only expands the player base and the revenues of the evergreen products as inspired by other...

    I've solved Power Attack!

    Another way to do it.. That isn't too powerful as I feel so far all the 2[w]+str are. And these things shouldn't be too complicated. Power Attack Fighter Attack 1 You focus your raw strength, into a wild but inaccurate brutal attack. At-Will * Martial, Weapon Standard Action Melee weapon...
