    Player's Options: Speculation

    I really hope you're right, except for the last paragraph. Having three lines of books would be interesting, but I do think that there won't be any more Player's Handbooks. They're publishing fewer and fewer new races, which removes a whole chapter of the hypothetical PH4. They're running...

    D&D 4E 4E campaign help

    First read through the Player's Handbook 1, especially chapters 1, 2, 5, 8, and 9. This will help you understand the rules and themes of the game. Second, read through the Dungeon Master's Guide. All of it. There's great tips there, as well as guides for creating your own campaign. Now...

    Order of the stick

    Y'know, I'd like to write a 4e D&D webcomic. Unfortunately, I cannot draw. Any artists or other writers out there who want to collaborate on this project?

    Essentials Line and HS series: It appears WoTC really is listening.

    I've only read through the Slaying Stone, but I was impressed. It has good skill challenges, for one thing, unlike Keep on the Shadowfell. It also has a lot of information at the beginning about NPCs and groups that the PCs can interact with. My favorite little thing was the "dramatic hooks,"...

    Wanderer - Based on Stone Soup's Dungeon Crawl

    Very cool ideas! That sounds like a good way to go. Another thought is to make this a class similar to Spellscarred. Spellscarred powers can only be accessed through multiclassing; maybe a wanderer is always hybridized with something else?

    Dice Towers

    At first I thought, "What a waste of time and money! Just roll them in your hands!" Then I saw the lego one. (8D That is so cool.

    The Key to Esantria(4.0)

    Looking at Walking's character, it seems like the professions make them very overpowered. I assume this was your intent, though. T) I think I'd like to play a magic-user of some sort. A wizard or a sorcerer probably. It depends on what any others want to play, when more interest is gleaned...

    Magic Missile

    This is a possibility that crossed my mind, and probably occured to others too. However, if true, it means that the beach mages might not care enough about the rules they've established to continue with a single game. In a sense, this is good; it is what allowed them to move on from 3e to 4e...

    Fun Stuff

    Summer for me means less playing, as gaming friends are on various vacations or have summer jobs. I did squeeze in one game though, using the Solar System with a fantasy setting. The highlight was when the PCs approached the orc slavers' hidden outlet in broad daylight and tricked the chief...

    Gotta Write Adventure 4 NonGamers - Need Your Help

    That's an awesome bet. =) I see Lord of the Rings is common between the two non-gamers, so I'd start there. It isn't hard to do in D&D. Maybe make their characters based on LotR characters; a halfling rogue, a human wizard, a human two-blade ranger, a dwarf fighter, or an elf archer ranger...

    Wanderer - Based on Stone Soup's Dungeon Crawl

    Has anyone tried to make a Wanderer class, based on the class of the same name in the roguelikes "Dungeon Crawl" by Stone Soup? This is the description of the class: Wanderers are people who have not learned a specific trade. Instead, they've travelled around becoming "jacks-of-all-trades...

    D&D 4E Am I the only one re-booting my 4E experience with Essentials?

    I'm going to allow essentials as options, but I'd never do an essentials only game unless I was teaching new players (so I'd just use essentials so it was easy for them) or if every one of my players decided to play an essentials class. Even then, I would still use monsters from the "old" books...

    "Not 4.5" is coming soon. Thoughts?

    See the Essentials_Wizard yet? They have daily powers. Good news, or bad?

    Magic Missile

    So, did you check out the Essentials_Wizard yet? Besides letting us know once again that Essentials is not a new edition, it shows us something about the new magic missile. All e-wizards have it, in addition to two other at-wills. Which means human e-wizards get four at-will attacks at level...

    Which of these games would you rather play (and why)?

    If you had said "Tolkien" instead of "war campaign," I would have picked that. I love Tolkien. Except I always almost spell his name wrong.

    Magic Missile

    Magic Missile is an attack because in the upper right corner it says "Wizard Attack 1." Emphasis mine.

    Order of the stick

    I like that it hasn't changed over. The world takes place in 3rd edition, and was updated to 3.5 because it was still 3rd edition. 4th edition is something so different, not only with the mechanics but with the flavor as well, that it would create a whole different world if it was switched...

    MS Access Database (For Gaming)

    Yeah, that sounds cool, I'd like to see it!

    Best Type of Damage Reduction?

    I don't like any of those methods, though I wouldn't have said so until MM3. I really like this idea of no resistances, but if you hit it with something it "would have been resistant to," it makes an extra attack or gets a boost to something. That way, you didn't do any less damage than you...

    Character Creation Methods - New Campaign

    I encourage my players to think of why they have the features, powers, feats, and trained skills that they do. Have them look past the mechanics and think of why their character would learn the ability. It helps coming up with a solid personality as well as background ideas. Also, definitely...
