While the text description makes me think a darker skin would have been better, my first thought when I saw the picture was it looked like Violet from Rat Queens, which I don't mind.

And it has a description

Argument from Incredulity - I don't believe you could have hit me, so that last attack clearly must have missed.

If they were planning this ahead of time maybe, though the way the way this situation comes up, I'm not sure if they really would have time to get a response. Anyway, in the actual game they didn't really think much of the possible conflict with Cippiano, just some jokes after the fight was...

So my group has been enjoying taking advantage having contacts with Morgan Cippiano and the Family in Flint. Now we're about the get the point in Always on Time where Griento will be wanting to get their help with the Family in Nalaam. That leads me to wondering how closely integrated the...

I haven't seen Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle, but suspect thewok is correct that all you'd NEED should be the adventure itself. If you're looking for a good resource to get a sense of the Realms Grand History of the Realms is a good resource though

Not that it contradicts the possibility that this is an experiment, but Chris Tulach posted on twitter that printing with the newest playtest rules would have needed a delay in starting the adventure. https://twitter.com/christulach/status/413090360080883712

The melee training feat used to work that way (or other stats), it was later changed with errata so it only applies to the attack bonus, and uses half the mod for damage bonus. Scout rangers and Thief rogues (both from essentials) both have class features that do that - which was probably the...

In the fight with MacBannin, I had some contradictions between his abilities and what seemed reasonable tactics (though that may be just my interpretation). I played MacBannin as wanting to get back to his lab, thus trying to run away from the group. But since his hex touch was only melee based...

The players for Faral and Kris/Blayre seem to be really getting the most into it. I get the sense from the others that they just enjoy having a game, and don't have strong feelings one way or another about the details of the campaign, though when I tie them in a particular way they tend to get...

I've fallen behind with updates, and then put off writing more as I felt I needed more time to catch up. Finally started to get around to writing up a description of the rest of Dying Skyseer, and thought I had it saved as a file so I could finish up, which apparently I didn't. So this is the...

Mine showed up between the two sessions that involved exploring an ancient ruin (from the Digging for Lies adventure in the Zeitgeist path). That actually served as a nice test where they first entered the rooms with just my descriptions and hand drawn maps, then I used the tiles to show the...

The book should be pretty meaty, I seem to remember a predicted page count being given at one point, but don't remember and am having trouble finding it. Not sure how the breakdown of setting vs rules will be though. If you're just interested in the setting, you might also want to check out...

I'm like you in not having played Shadowrun before, but looking forward to the new edition to get into it. I managed to get in the preview game for free RPG day and had fun with it. The whole table, including the GM were new so there was a bit of learning curve going on. We probably missed...

Most are in the Players Handbook 2 or Arcane Power, along with a different type a bard in Heroes of Feywild, some of which can still be used by the original bard. You can also subscribe to DDI which will give you access to a character builder with options from all sources (including the Dragon...

Monte has had a good bit of writing on his blog, if you haven't seen it yet. Specifically you might be interested in his playtest game descriptions (that's the most recent I think, though you can follow links back to the beginning). He also wrote a bit about dice mechanics in these two posts...

Over in the En Publishing subforum there's a lot of discussion about a few of the different campaigns going on. Definitely worth taking a look through for some ideas of how people are running it.

As I hinted in the first post, the first session of Dying Skyseer was pretty eventful, so it's getting a bit more detail than I'll probably normally do. When they showed up at the consulate, they immediately latched onto the problems with the body being moved. They also gave the police...

Start with a some highlights from the first adventure: The initial skill challenge went pretty well. They probably could have nabbed everyone, though I got the sense they were spoiling for a fight, so even though they had some more time I had them fight the last two. The party on the ship...
