That was not a screwup. I'm not going to feel bad because someone made an unfortunate build choice here. I'll commiserate with them on the basis of a bad roll, and I'll be glad to applaud them on a clever or lucky moment, but an unfortunate choice of build? In a campaign, sure, but here? Live...

Okay, Gargoyle, I've got little counter to your arguments. Conceded. I'm afraid I've become resigned to knowing too many people who do think there's no reason to buy anything they can acquire for free, legally or not. As for work, yeah, it can be. That doesn't mean it can't also be fun.

We've lost six parties now in Calgary, though the last group (three dwarves and a genasi) came within 3 hp of victory. A few misjudgments cost them a faster win, but they get points for these stunts: 1) After drawing the attention of a second room full of temple elect, the party went into the...

Hey, why not suggest counterfeiting reproductions from the Louvre while you're at it? If you'll steal it because you can't have it, chances are good you'll find some other excuse to steal it when you it's made available to you. The option wasn't convenient, or it was overpriced, or it was...

After earning a copy of an adventure by running a table for twelve to twenty weeks, I'm not terribly inclined to see DDI subscribers get it for free.

Well, sure, it's got to be fun for the players. It's also got to be fun for the DM, especially when no one else wants to host the table. That shouldn't come at anyone's expense: not DM, not player, not the roommate or spouse who doesn't share your interest in the game, and certainly not the...

I'm fine with letting players make any sort of Athletics check while wearing any sort of shield, as long as the other hand is free, just as I'm fine with how wearing a heavy shield makes it harder to hold your breath. There are more important concerns. I''m more leery about leaving a paladin...

Yes, the challenge favours strikers with leader support, but some argue that the system favours that combination anyway. You'll still get decent mileage out of a controller, but playing the defender effectively may be more of a challenge here. Your enemies can play a nasty game of hit and run if...

Yeah, when I read that bit about monsters not opening doors, I decided that while it was okay that the defenders would wait for intruders to come to them, failing to make use of the door across from the player's point of entry to their room would not be a smart tactical decision. As for...

I hadn't interpreted it that way, but I wouldn't object to that interpretation. One thing to keep in mind is that there are few safe paths for many of the monsters in the lair to reach one another after that event occurs. That said, I'm surprised KarinsDad didn't have one of the two temple...
