    D&D 4E VTT / Maptools: D&D 4E Dark Sun using Maptools, my experiences and tips for new users.

    The last several days were pretty productive and managed to recreate the encounter maps from the Blood Sand Arena and Marauders of the Dune Sea adventure modules. A caravan cart dragged through the rocky wasteland by two kanks is ambushed by some raiders. The elven market in Altaruk...

    Pathfinder 1E Am I ready for Pathfinder, and if not, when?

    I don't now anything about Pathfinder, but from what I've heard the PF Introductory box is rather excellent, though that might not say much since the D&D 4E Essentials Red Box has been released.

    Dark Sun: The Dwarf died! How do I resurrect him?

    I'm actually planning to make two small encounters out of this ritual situation at the burial mount: first, spirits will come and try to take the remaining soul or whatever that still exists in traces in the dwarf's corpse and the rest of the party have to make a series of Willpower saves or...

    Dark Sun: The Dwarf died! How do I resurrect him?

    If I may make a suggestion, try to step back for 24 hours and then review the whole situation :)

    Dark Sun: The Dwarf died! How do I resurrect him?

    Thanks everyone for your comments & suggestions. I already made a map of the burial mount with altar where the ancient ritual will be performed, and a horde of minion skeletons to raise once it's finished. As for the why, I'll just answer that I like the DS setting and I see no reason why I...

    Dark Sun: The Dwarf died! How do I resurrect him?

    Oh, that won't be a problem as the player who controls the dwarf also controls a wizard ;)

    D&D 4E VTT / Maptools: D&D 4E Dark Sun using Maptools, my experiences and tips for new users.

    Some general information on how I planned my campaign. Keep in mind that this was a face2face seesion, so some things of course won't apply to internet play. First of all, the technical setup. One client laptop is connected to a big TV, and has a wireless mouse so players can comfortably...

    Edit: All maps and assets can be downloaded here: Various.zip Sandraiders.zip Marauders.zip Bloodsand.zip Veiled.zip Misc.zip Rocks.zip ***Note: Even though I played D&D 4E, this is more about using the Maptools program and less about the game itself*** Hello fellow hobbyists, after playing...

    Dark Sun: The Dwarf died! How do I resurrect him?

    All are at level 1, with still about 650 XP to earn before they reach 2ns level :) Good idea about the elemental priest, maybe I will disregard the mystic and just have a priest that lives in the desert as a hermit, kind of like Mako in Conan: The Barbarian! Now that I think about it, I might...

    Dark Sun: The Dwarf died! How do I resurrect him?

    So the players successfully brought back a wagon full of stolen good to a caravan master... Well, the Dwarven Warpriest died in the last encounter, and when the players got back to Altaruk to get their reward they also asked the caravan master if there's anything he could do for them to revive...

    Recent board games and what I thought [add your own capsule reviews]

    Gears of War: The Boardgame by Fantasy Flight Games, as usual this comes with lots of very detailed 28mm plastic miniatures and cardboard tiles. The overall art style of the components are taken directly from the videogame. The game itself does not use the well-known Doom:TBG or Descent...

    D&D 5E Design your core races

    They are no core races, but I'd like to see which ability boni Muls and Goliaths get. In 4E they were pretty much the same (The Mul could choose between +2 CON and WIS though IIRC). I'd like a real Half-Giant Goliath that gets like +4 in accordance to it's massive size, but maybe a malus to AC...

    D&D 4E My Dark Sun 4e Game Experience Updated 01/22/2013

    Very interesting, thanks for your detailed write-ups. I started a Dark Sun campaign myself and we also had lots of fun in the wastes of Athas. I am currently preparing the Marauders of the Dune Sea adventure but now that I have read your converted module I might just take some inspiration from...

    D&D 4E Need suggestions for a Dark Sun 4E Cleric/Leader substitute...

    (Semi-Necro) Hi all, just a little update to say that my first D&D 4E Dark Sun session was a blast, the players and me had lots of fun and we played till 5 in the morning in a 8 hour non-stop session of dungeon crawling goodness ;) As soon as I can post links and images I will start a new...

    D&D 4E Need suggestions for a Dark Sun 4E Cleric/Leader substitute...

    I now created a Warpriest (Earth Domain) and I like him very much. He is pretty close to a normal Cleric and has a lot of the same powers, including Healing Hands. I'll likely take another look at the Sun domain because it focuses even more on healing.

    D&D 4E Need suggestions for a Dark Sun 4E Cleric/Leader substitute...

    Again muchas gracias for all of your opinions and suggestions. I quickly threw together a Dwarf Warlord (Inspiring Warlord), but he only heals 2 HP every time an ally in LOS uses an action point... Nothing to write home about ;) I currently ponder wether I should just allow the Cleric class...

    D&D 4E Need suggestions for a Dark Sun 4E Cleric/Leader substitute...

    Thanks for the suggestiosn so far. I aim to keep things rather simple so for now I'll use no character themes. I'll look into the Warlord and Bard classes, although I seem to remember that Bards are a little bit to squishy to stand directly in harm's way?
