    Monster Design--from a designer's standpoint

    I love it! And I am really liking how it simplifies the ability of the DM to run the monsters. The Bonesnapper makes a ton of sense, and the abilities describe exactly how to use them. The ability for the monster to be completely self-contained in its statblock (as opposed to needing to check...

    Monster Design--from a designer's standpoint

    Glad to hear it! I hated using the same monsters over and over in 3.x, but the general difficulty in stating new beasties made it all but required. I am excited to hear that the process is that much easier now. I am even more excited about the ability to "file the serial numbers off" monsters...

As for WotC publishing power decks, they have mentioned that is what...

    Making your own power cards

    For everyone that wants to make their own power cards for 4e, I have begun to create some as a proof of concept. I use a program called Magic Set Editor (link) and a form with a full text box (link). It is really easy to differentiate the types of powers. I use bronze for at-will, silver for...
