    Your character died. Big deal.

    This. As a DM, I try to plan and run campaigns around my characters, taking plot hooks from their backgrounds and connecting major events to them, one way or the other (BTW - I don't demand my players overly long backstories, but a couple of them write a lot anyways :-D). To me, a character...

    Cyberpunk RPGs

    Well, there's Cyberpunk 2020... but from my experience with Shadowrun, I think you could safely put up a mini-campaign without magic and metahumans. In other words, strip it of the fluff to save you and your group the hassle to learn a new game system. Just my two cents of course. ;)

    Monster Reskinning

    I'm planning to run Red Hand of Doom, but since (A) my players are a little higher in level than expected and (B) there are some setting differences, I reskinned hobgoblins from the MM and some kobolds from the mearls' article to goblins, with minor crunch tweaking. Now that I think about it...

    D&D 4E Is 4E doing it for you?

    Totally doin' it for me. The group I DM never had much commitment to the rulebooks, so the streamlined play contributed to their involvement (and for the RP part, I'd say it's unchanged since the beginning of the campaign in 3.5). OTOH, I find that my job as a DM is a lot easier, and that less...

    Inspiring Non-Gaming Websites

    I use a lot of online dictionaries and translators (right now I have bookmarked a Gaelic one ) because I make a point of making up names that have at least a hint of meaning in a different language. Recently I've used this site for alchemical symbols. Finally, my campaign is set in the world of...

    D&D 4E Are you supposed to level faster in 4e?

    The group I DM is levelling a little faster than 3.5, about once every 2-3 game sessions as opposed to 3-4. I think that's primarily beacuse they're expected to go through fewer combat encounters, but the "quest" OX remained basically the same.

    The Miniatures and Editions Connection

    4e with grid and miniatures (or, rather, cardboard markers). We started using tokens of some kind extensively with 3.0; before that, we played AD&D without minis, but the DM used to draw round-by-round battle maps on graph paper, with positions and terrain features.

    What style of grid for battle map?

    I use a 1"-square vinyl battlemat I had to order on Amazon since it seemed that no-one in Italy had those :-) The great thing is that it has squares on one side and hexes on the other, and occasionally I've used hexes (for shadowrun). For D&D, squares all the way.

    Battle Standards and Solitaire

    Since you can use only 1 AP per encounter, maybe it's not that powerful... ;-)

    Power Card Creator

    First of all, thank you all for the support. I want to point out that registration isn't necessary to use the PCC - I don't want to force you to subscribe to an Italian-speaking forum ;-) For now we aren't allowing the saving of the compiled forms for a matter of contents - we're waiting for...

    Wizard/Ranger multiclass questions

    Magic Missile counts as a basic ranged attack, but unfortunately that doesn't make it a weapon. So no, you can't use ranger powers with Magic Missile ;-)
