hmm, I have played my share of boardgames... and I would rank it fairly high, too ;) Love this game, though I can not recommend playing it while drinking... we tried that once... was kind of a foggy experience :D ... I think Slanesh won that one... which is kind of fitting...

When 4e started, we as a group decided to go for PHB1+2 plus one Power Book per source and a Adventurers Vault book for each PHB, as we assumed that would make the game feel complete. 8 books in total (oh, and FRPG), but... It worked for us :) ... we usually start a new campaign every 6 Month...

hmm, personaly, I could not care less for most of the power and feat changes, as we have a group policy of 'playing nice' ... but I really like what they did to the rules themselves... new fly rules, changes to some skills and I really like the new Aid Another rule. I am looking forward to...

Well, yeah, I meant magic items :) But inventory can be an issue with those, too. How many Healing Potions des the local temple have available?

Title says it. How do you determine items available in a shop? Do you have a list for each shop? Do you roll a dice for each item after the players asked for it? Is everything available the players might want to buy? Or are a couple of sources 'common' and available while everything else is...

Well, first of all I recommend FFGs RPG Books, both Rogue Trader and Dark Heresy have huge amounts of background for the setting. Personaly, I love browsing Lexicarnum.

I like that idea. Basically thats what I was looking for, but asides from monsters that are either able to force movement (not that many) or to avoid traps (flying creatures for example) I still would have a hard time pulling such an encounter of. hmm, maybe the new Tomb of Horrors will be of...

I was not looking to find rules for using traps like in previous editions, that never felt cool. I just recently discovered that I do not know of good 4e encounters that use these kind of traps within the contex of an encounter. Maybe a bnuch of artillery/lurker monsters that hide behind a...

I like to use classic traps in my adventures. Things like pits, arrow traps etc. but so far they never seemed to really fit into the game. Do you now any examples of cool 4e encounters using these kinds of traps? (I have the HPE Series and an insider sub, anywhere in there would be great as an...

Hmm, it is kinda a reprint of the Mythic Sovereign (Epic Fearun DDI article), I think even some of the powers are the same.

I've got that one, it is great. Played some fun encounters upon it. thanks, I did not know that forum!

until recently I was on some kind of nostalgia trip and got inspired by reading old D&D books and adventures. Well, no real nostalgia, as I never played any of the truly old ones, I just like that style. I love movies as inspiration, Hellboy 2 gave me a real itch of using fey creatures in my...

The Moria Map fits what I am looking for. And it looks really nice, btw! I'm basically looking for a big dungeon map with enough detail for a 4e dungeon crawl style game in miniature scale, so I can print it and use it as battle map. Something like this Dungeon of Terror: Virtual Boxed Set© -...

Have you tried using it with 4e? The passages seem rather narrow.

I can hope... :D ... but yeah, I guess you will be right. Still, HDS did a great job with Descent and Chaos in the Old World concerning bug fixing.

I currently got some time as a player (yeah, first time since 4e release) and while I love it, I want to start designing a dungeon. Or rather, filling one with monsters. Are there any great dungeon maps I could use? I would love to be able to print the whole thing out and just use it as map...

Nice review! I am really looking forward to having a look at the gam myself. I will wait for the german version before having a look, as HDS usually puts in errata before printing. They are great, the german versions of FFG games usually less error ridden than the English ones. (Which is not...

I recently had another look at the Worlds&Monsters preview book for 4e, which I really like, and began to wonder. While I thought the points of light setting seems perfect while playing 3e it does not really fit my experience with 4e. Random encounters do not seem to have much of an impact, as...

In my oppinion, the most important things about combat in 4e are: A group thats build to win a fight by killing their opponent and not by surviving them. (This is actually very important, we once had a cleric and an inspiring warlord side by side. Every encounter was a drag.) The realization...

yes, so far I have. But I might be proven wrong. :)
