In the first game I ever DMed, I had my friends fight a black dragon with their 1st-level PCs. It was the only sort of dragon that fit the flavor of the dungeon. I basically used the level 3 white dragon's HP, AC, Fort, Reflex and Will, but kept everything else the same. It was far from a TPK...

Starting up a Maptools game. We already have a DM and four players (see party list below), but would like one or two more. We're planning to play on Fridays 8 PM EST, starting this Friday (02/06). We'll be using Skype or possibly Vent, and would like all players to do the same. confirmed...

Oh, man. And Rich drops the plot-bomb once again. I love this comic.

Yes, in 4e or 3xe, I think it's reasonable to assume that the players know the game. The only exception to this, of course, is with new players learning the game. But even then, after a few encounters, they start to get the hang of it. Until they get drunk, anyways. And then the game becomes fun...

FRUA, anyone? Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures? Back in elementary school, I had a blast cheating up my party to level 54 or something, flinging around fireballs and meteor swarms like they were Halloween candy. And then when that got old, designing my own dungeons and campaign worlds kept...

I actually liked the alignment system. It was one of the few things I was sad to see go. The good news, of course, is that you can painlessly add them back in if you want, since they have absolutely no effect on game mechanics. That was a good decision, I think. I don't see why they had to axe...

Oh, of course. Still, I think it's safe to say that Jackie Chan is cooler than me. Which, incidentally, is something I never thought I'd have to admit to.

I'm pretty sure some of those moves in the OP are faked. This guy's all real. I like to trot him out whenever somebody tries to give me some "pirates are better tha ninjas" malarky. This is the kind of stuff I picture a 4e rogue trained in Acrobatics doing. YouTube - Urban Ninja

Howdy. I'm pretty much as new as you get... played my first pen-and-paper game (Vampire: The Masquerade) around Thanksgiving, liked it, and bought the 4e core rulebooks and DMed a one-shot for my friends during the holidays. Currently looking for a steady group, having a little success thanks...

Ah, so my starlock with only 13 Con won't be a cripple? Beautiful. Thank you for your help. EDIT: The only exception to this is at-will powers, correct? The book seems pretty explicit that every Warlock gets eldritch blast, and the pact determines your second at-will.

I'm trying to build a warlock, and one thing I'm confused on is the way they select powers. Can a starlock select a feylock power if they so choose? Or are they doomed to taking only powers marked Warlock (Star)?

Yeah, but some of us like to gamble even more. ;) See: Casinos

You know, that's a great point, and something that kind of irks me about 4e in general (and, keep in mind, I really, really like 4e). All the crazy 'until end of turn' modifiers are difficult to keep track of, and really bog combat down. Still, the Chaos build is really attractive to me, both...

Solution? Move to Boston: http://www.enworld.org/forum/gamers-seeking-gamers/248465-boston-ma-looking-join-d-d-group.html Or, you know, download Maptool. Regarding the OP, I can kind of see where the flakey players and their annoyed wives are coming from. These are just games, after all, and...

I'm fairly desperate. I'd probably go for this if: A) The guy was a good DM, and I honestly had a good time B) I wasn't a ridiculously poor college student, and I could actually afford to spend $10 a week.

A good way of doing this is to take something that's immoral or even just morally ambiguous in the players' homeland, and make it a celebrated part of the king's culture. Possiblities include: -Cannibalism (killing and eating people as a method of capital punishment, the 'sacred' eating of...

Well the concept of 'charm' is pretty darn subjective, so I don't think you can really claim that 4e has less charm or more charm than 3.5. "It has 3.2 less charm units!" But, yeah, with that said, I can sort of see where you're coming from, but for me anyway, the important factor is this: When...

Inspired by SHARK’s great post, I decided to expand a little upon his ideas. One thing you mentioned in your original post is that the masters set up these different courtyards as basically magical laboratories, wherein the original masters of the city may have tampered with the way time flows...

Great thread, LostSoul, just finished reading the whole thing. I don't have a group right now, so it's nice to sort of live vicariously through other people's awesome. Your players do know how lucky they are, righ?

Go ahead and add me to the list of interested Boston players. http://www.enworld.org/forum/gamers-seeking-gamers/248768-boston-ma-new-player-looking-group.html If we could get somebody willing to DM, looks like we'll have a sizeable group, here.
