I'd happily kick in $20 for those portraits. The portraits are great, but I'm hesitant to use them for this very reason.

Speaking selfishly, since my party plays 4e and has utterly zero interest in pathfinder I'd much rather have Z05 4e than Z04 pathfinder. :)

I'll preface my comments by saying my gaming group is pretty old school kick-the-door-and-kill-the-bad-guys, there is not a lot of roleplaying going on. We play similarly to the way RPG's were played in the late 70's (probably because we've all been playing since the late 70's). We use minis...

WotC has a rich history of making modules that are absolutely awful; their 3/3.5 modules weren't any better. The difference with 4e was the different licensing which encouraged 3rd party vendors to avoid 4e. WotC needs to wake up and realize that a significant chunk of their customer base is...

I suspect that anyone that has a strong opinion about 4e is going to have the opposite strong opinion about the playtest. Those who thought 4e was an abomination will be inclined to really like the playtest, and those that thought 4e was the best version of D&D will be inclined to hate it...

As someone whose played nothing but sorcerers for the past couple of years, my opinion is that the Elementalist is a significant power boost over the vanilla Sorcerer. Losing the blacks does hurt, but you get a lot back in return: Useful reds. Sorcerer reds taken as a whole 1-27 aren't all...

When I run WotBS modules I print out the two parts separately so I can at least have the fluff part open to where the PC's are in the story and the encounters part open to the encounters. But even with that shuffling between the two printouts is still a pain.

Ignoring all the posession stuff, Song of Forms makes insubstantial things substantial. Doesn't matter if they are a Trillith or not. So the instant they saw a huge (most likely either Elite or Solo which means tons of HP) critter go insubstantial they countered with Song of Forms. Even if...

This is way too late to help you but... My group isn't that fond of skill challenges (it's more an old school 70's style kick-the-door-down-kill-everything kind of group), so I ran it as combats. I set it up as them being part of the army assigned to protect against flanking maneuvers, and...

Morrus that's great. If you make future maps available for download in a zip could you include that data as a text file in the zip?

I've only skimmed the module (been busy prepping for WotBS 5) but I think the scene layout and headers fantastic idea. Even with a quick 2-3 minute skim of the module just by looking at the headings I get a vague idea what's going on. I also like the fact that the encounters are just part of...

I'll add my 2 cents in. I don't use DM software (yet) and this is largely the reason why, but I do posterize the maps and print them out on 13x19" paper, which has similar problems getting the maps into the software. The first problem is getting the monster markers off the map, this is a...

I go through the aggravation of posterizing the maps, printing them out, and taping them together. When I did this for Scales of War I was using a normal sized printer so 8.5x11 sheets. SoW loves large maps so some of these maps were 30+ pages. I'd spend 4-6 hours doing assembly and the...

I DM'ed SoW through the end of Paragon and I'll echo the sentiments above. And add that the deeper in it you go the worse it gets. Calling it an adventure path is stretching the definition of the term to the limit; it's really a collection of modules written by various authors that are...

I'll chime in and say I'm doing the same. If you're running an adventure path the levels are on rails relative to the plot anyway and the modules give you the level break points. I can't tell you how much easier it is; now I'm free to throw in additional encounters or take them out for pacing...

I agree, that was also the impression I got when I read the article. Sorcerer is really the only D&D class I'm interested in enough to play, and if I was going to go down the road of building a 'melee' sorcerer it would either be dragon magic cold based or wild magic using wild spellfury & the...

Brutal 1, admittedly is nice, but high crit is much less so with a d6 based weapon. Superior Implement would give you 1d10 high crit instead which is significantly more damage when you start looking at paragon/epic. I don't necessarily want to get into the discussion of "this power is better...

The good news is that it's back up now. But I don't see any WotBS maps on it. There's a folder for each of the WotBS modules but no maps come up when I click on them.

That link gives a HTTP 403 error (access denied), and the main url comes up with an under construction page.
