"D&D&D?" I gotta think it would mean finally seeing a good D&D movie - based on what they've done with the Avengers series. Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance seem like the best campaign worlds to use. I could die a happy man having seen a D&D movie written and directed by Joss Whedon! Or even...

I'll have the oni, who the party knows as one Buru Tsuwamono, make a couple mistakes during his 'I'm Etheran' speech. Maybe accidentally using a japanese word or two, like 'hai' instead of 'yes,' or mentioning something only he and the characters would know. But you're right - I know I would...

Spoily McSpoiler says look out for Spoilerific Spoilers for King of the Trollhaunt Warrens 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 I'm mixing Encounter 1, The Messenger [the oni and trolls eat the messenger's horse] with the scene from the background information [page xx] where the trolls toss Etheran's...

The group says "sure, what the heck." The dice are fun to roll. Made ones for +11 thru +19. Put them in one of the compartmented floss cases I had my Dragon Dice in, so if I put them back in order, I can keep them straight. Still waiting to DM - we play slow - will let you know how it turns out

I'm the DM from a previous post http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/325626-dont-add-up-damage-use-blank-d6.html planning to roll damage using a specially marked d6 with some of the actual damage totals written on it. If a monster deals 2d6+5 damage, I'd mark a blank d6: 9...

I’m a 4Eer since it came out. I’m a story-teller and method actor, roleplayer not rollplayer, and I find 4E supports that really well. More importantly, my game group likes it. We have all the types of players and they all find something to like in it. It’s easy to DM on the fly too. I’m...

This Salon.com article should explain why he chose "Hostile Work Environment." Death to the Minotaur - Salon.com "And then, late at night, a bunch of us piled into a dark room and played Truth or Swill... Truth or Swill is one of those elemental games people play to break down social barriers...

I see what you're saying. The knucklehead friend was passing by on his way somewhere else, so the exchange between them was short, and loud enough for the whole group of us to hear. The friend was leaving when the guy said "like Fourth Edition." I was actually hoping he wasn't talking to us...

I’ll tell ya what, I’ve read about ‘edition wars’ here plenty, but it’s a for-real thing. I wasn’t at Origins a whole hour before somebody said something to me. 6 or 8 of us were in line to play test D&D Next. This one guy’s friend stopped by and made some knucklehead joke to him. The guy said...

I may have over done it with the polyurethane. How do I do a dark wash but keep him blue?

I needed an oni mage for King of the Trollhaunt Warrens and don't have a lot of money to spend. I found a $1 Star Wars common at Origins and threw some stuff at it that I had laying around my basement. I'm no miniature painter, but I did study ink wash and drybrush a little bit. The whole...

Because my idea of fun is not doing flash cards. These are the skills I would prefer to work on: Trollhaunt Warrerns spoilers coming! Preparing to run an old-school AD&D adventure for my nephew and his friends before their too-short summer break is over - in addition to...

That could be a big problem. Conjure I'll use combos of different colored dice and ink. The lowest value is different for each set of damages, so I'll put a dot next to it. I might outline the edges of some dice, like their main attack.

Found a piece on Square Fireballs that updates the monsters to MM III standards. Thanks for the warning!

I just can’t add. Quickly. When my rogue hits with a combat advantage daily it takes me so long to add up the 5d8+3+5 that the DM jumps in most times. It’s getting to be a joke. In a couple months I’ll be the DM (Trollhaunt Warrens) and I’ll be playing a cave full of monsters that do 2, 3 and...

Honest to God, dude, I thought this was a fan film! Straight to video then?

"On the one hand, it's nice to give DMs more options. But on the other hand, it's replacing creativity with accounting. 3.x suffered from monsters almost literally needing to be created with spreadsheets in order to be properly balanced and all that. When that is required, I think there is...

"While many DMs want to build monsters using the target numbers-based system that 4th edition uses, some DMs may want to build their monsters like PCs, adding levels of cleric onto orcs to create enemies that also have many class features. Some DMs may want to use templates to create everything...

My friend normally plays a fighter and told me that playing a rogue is a chess match in comparison. I'm not surprised your player would have trouble. Stealth rules are from the errata that I physically printed, cut out, and glued into my PHB. Luckily for us, our DM is familiar with their...
