4E has defined roles for characters to make it easy to put together a well rounded party that can effectively be challenged by a variety of encounters. Your strikers first job is to do damage so you should make sure that you are fulfilling that role. The leader should make sure he can heal...

I am sitting down to run a new game for my players (which there are 5) and I throw up a few choices for them on our Facebook RPG page and they selected Zeitgeist. Each had their own reason which I think speaks well for the promo material and the setting. I am jumping for joy that I get to run...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61x0vlFBUIL._SL500_AA300_.jpg Happy Halloween to all of you. This week Wizards of the Coast has seriously left the candy bowl on the porch for you to just help yourself. There are so many offerings that I am just going to get started. Vaults of the...

http://wizards.com/dnd/images/195_Shadows.jpg With so many releases for their DDI magazines Dungeon and Dragon as well as a hoard of freebie stuff Wizards of the Coast has been busy giving you lots to sink your fangs into this October. Teos Abadia gives us his first adventure for Dungeon in...

The new math from Monster Vault 2 makes low level 4E a bit trickier, especially where using brutes are concerned. A hit or two can not only take a PC to 0 but kill them outright. This quickly goes away after a couple of levels. It is really hard to say what is too tough or deadly. If a party...

This just hauled me backwards in time. I owned this and I loved it. There was definitely a golden age in rpg's and this might be a great physical representation of it. The artwork was fun and the mini adventure did use some make-shift rules if I remember correctly. It was a long time ago...

This is probably somewhat due to the proliferation of RPG materials over the years, more systems and such leads to a dilution. When AD&D was in it's heyday there were no PDF's or internet so books were the only way to go. I have piles of old role-playing stuff and that is after I have donated...

I have heard this as well. A dwarven fighter learns that he must marry in order to save the town from a wicked heir. After some guffaw over it, he states, "I'd better go wash me nethers" Our group needed some help and decided perhaps to hire a henchman to fill out the ranks and give us an...

I am so happy to see Watchmen get the attention that it truly deserves. The old DMG was filled with amazing charts that were way over the top as far as attention to detail goes. I loved it and if you went blind from reading it at least you had a club to beat off pick pockets. Hey Matt, you...

http://wizards.com/dnd/images/404_assassin.jpgWizards of the Coast has gone all out this week to introduce new things for your game. The ninja steps out of the shadows, two new Kara-Tur themes are introduced, and we learn more about the Feywild. Let's get to it then. This week we will start...

http://wizards.com/global/images/dnd_products_dndacc_317310000_pic3_en.jpgThis week Wizards of the Coast has been busy with several new releases to Dungeon and Dragon, a book tour, and some hilarious gaming from Pax Prime. You also get a look at a new race and a new class. October: In the...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/619472%2BKKlL._SL500_AA300_.jpgThis week we had a lot of great things offered to us by Wizards of the Coast for our Dungeons & Dragons game. There is so much in fact to share with you that we will get right into it. Rich Baker answers your questions in...

I couldn't agree more. One thing that stands out in 4e is that you can get by with creative players and quality character design. Know the flaws of your party and do your best to minimize them. For example a party of five human ranger beastmasters who spent all their feats on archery...

http://www.wizards.com/global/images/dnd_products_dndacc_355930000_pic3_en.jpgThe last week has been packed with all kinds of exciting offerings from Wizards of the Coast for Dungeons & Dragons. Before we get into all those goodies let's get down to the big news of the week and what gamers are...

If you choose not to use these rules then that is okay. If you want to delve into this realm of fledgling PC's then this article offers a lot to get your mental juices flowing. I love the idea of a campaign starting at 0 level and then continuing all the way to 30th. I don't think the rules...

This is great news and I hope the progress continues. It is unfortunate that it is still using MM1 math but I do hope that is easily corrected. I hope there is a patch to include some sort of export feature so it is easier to use in my homebrew adventures. Hopefully these things happen...

Assuming that this does in some way herald in the 5E and Monte Cook is involved in that what does it mean for 4E? Will somebody pick up the torch and run with it like Pathfinder did with 3.5? What will this mean for the future of Pathfinder? If Monte Cook is involved with a 5E will it...

Whether it is some sort of gamer elitism or perhaps just the first reaction of some players to always be negative, organized play has received some hard thumps. Now why it might not necessarily be everyone's cup of ale, it has merits for expanding the interest in our hobby and providing gamers...

Great stuff. It is good to see the non-essentials classes getting some love. Now just give me some on the Runepriest and Seeker and I will be a happier gamer.

Thank you very much for this opportunity. I am Christopher and run the game site gamingtonic.com. My website is not devoted to any one system and I am proud of that. I have been playing D&D for 28 years and have enjoyed their books and board games over the years whether produced by TSR or now...
