I don't do "random", but I will occasionally go, "I'd like to put an owlbear in their travels"... so I'll design up that combat in a quick & dirty fashion (usually using a battlmap and such so I don't have to do any real prep), then I'll insert it during a lull in the game, at some point when...

I only play music during combat, and I always have my players pick a "Theme Song" that gets shuffled in with other music (the D&D Soundtrack from mydnight syndicate, god of war, etc...). When their song comes up, they get an action point that can be used before the end of the character's next...

That's what sold me on i4e, as well. It was nice to add custom created items and powers given by the DM without a lot of fuss. Single-handedly ended my entire group's need for customizing the CB. The compendium app seems to work ok for me, I haven't had much trouble with it. However, as a...

ourchair - the i4e does allow you to manually input all data, as well, so you don't have to rely on using the CB for import. They even make the interface nice by allowing you to access it on a PC/laptop and then push it to the phone/pod. It's a nice feature.

I can tell you that the i4e app has really taken off at my table. Out of 6 of us, only two continue to use paper character sheets...and that's only because they're both too cheap to buy new phones or an iTouch (one has an ipod mini, but we can't get him to upgrade....though my 3 year old...

The best I've found are: i4e - A character sheet application that's very customizable and very nice. Imports from the CB file and allows full editing once it's been imported. Runs locally, so for an iTouch, it beats out iplay4e for not requiring wifi. $5 cost, which is pretty reasonable...

I'm all for either variant -- though random made it harder to get what I wanted, it also inspired me to find uses for cadaver collectors, caller in darkness, warforged that I wouldn't have purchased...ultimately making my games more fun. But for non-random, that would be cool so long as we get...

Not really ironic -- the guy has had almost twenty years in the business. I'd kill for that kind of stability for the next twenty. On topic, though, you will be missed Bill!

I subscribe because I LOVE having a digital builder that's updated, even irregularly. I subscribe because having a monster tool that, even buggy and out of date, allows me to create monsters easier than typing them up manually or handwriting. The weekly articles on the site are enjoyable and...

Without a doubt, I'd go with Last Breath of Ashenport. It is right around that level and is fricking awesome. You can find it in the DDI archive -- it was one of the earlier adventures, but is superbly written. All that would need to be done is update the monsters to the current...

Except that sunlight only makes them glitter, thereby only doing psychic damage from embarrasment.

Four smiley-faces up? OH, I'm totally stealing that. ;)

I should also give nod to Stonefang Pass -- Scared the crap outta my group They lost 3 characters through that dungeon (a group of 6, even!) and felt the punishings of Stonefang. A great, great module.

Reaver's of Harkenwold is easily my favorite. My players loved it and praised the story. They had no idea it was a module until I pulled out the map (near the end).

All non-threatening communication is officially "diplomacizing" "Ghetto Crit" - When a maximum damage roll is made. "Garr!" - when a 3 is rolled (in honor of a character who rolled more 3's than anyone I've ever seen) "Dew Me" - the official request for someone to grab them a soda (only for...

Artemis Entreri is my #1 - just perfectly captures him, and makes for GREAT assassin/rogue/badasses. Goliath Barbarian from the Primal heroes set - It's still the only ddm goliath I really like. The Huge red - While my colossal red is purdy, the huge seemed to be more arrogant and all-together...

I used it in a campaign recently. Thematically, it was changed to be the eye of the first lich in my world, someone as powerful as Vecna, but in a world with a very small list of gods. The party "found" it, though it would later be realized by the bard (who had a bit of precognition) that he...

Oh, they're definitely tough...but I like it. When my players see one on the battlefield, they know to take out the ranged. Makes the front-line berserkers happy with OA's while the strikers move to engage. I think more monsters should evoke that sort of a response.

Yuan-ti - no question. I am considering a return to a long-running campaign with Yuan-ti as the primary antagonists. A return in which a player was a Yuan-ti would make for a very interesting and new direction to take. might just utilize the vampire class as a template for doing so, actually...
