You have no idea how happy that response makes me...

Anyone else notice that the next Scales of War Adventure has gotten pushed back again this month? Anyone want to guess why it's moved back. My first thought is that Wizards has been unhappy with the adventure that was turned in, and has had to do extensive re-writing. But then I'm a pretty...

I don't know... All of our 1E monsters had HP= HD*8. So going to 3rd edition was actually a nice step down in HP... Now moving from 3ed to 4th did feel like a major inflation particularly at low levels, but that has seemed to slow down a bit as we climbed through the heroic tier.

At least reading through them, I was not impressed with the first two modules. Den of the Destroyer and The Temple Between seem to be much better modules then the first few, and also seem to have started to twist all the plot threads together. But I haven't run anyone through the modules, so I...

Maybe I'm different, but I've never designed a skill challenge that didn't have some way for everyone to help. If my players are trying to convince the town mayor of something, sure Diplomacy and knowlege skills might be primary, but I always put in something else that will help from the...

Wait my 3.5 knowlege is getting a little rusty but: If Aravis is a god, doesn't that make him an outsider and unable to be resurected? It would be nice if I was wrong, but I've been assuming that we had just heard the end of our favorate mage...

For a cheap and quick option.... My group bought a set of colored thin plastic binder pockets from an office supply store. Then we just cut whatever size squares we needed. When someone has a power they can grab the right size square and measure or place it on the board if the effect will...

I've often considered doing something like this but I really am a Photoshop novice. Any links or suggestions on a good tutorial that can get me moving in the right direction to get the blending done?

If we are evaluating a game only on it's story my favorate is PS:T. But then I'm someone who tends to talk to every NPC and really get their money worth from a game, and that game really needed that to get the max enjoyment out of it. In the non RPG world: The first Gabriel Knight was pretty...

Due to the fact that many of my old gaming friends have moved a long distance away, we have recently started talking about running a Play by Email game. I'm sure that some people here have run these type of games before.... So, can someone give me some advice on how to run the game/set up a...

My experience is like most of the others on the board... Be sure you do two things up front: 1) Define what evil is. Are you going to be self-centered, Running a thieves guild, kicking puppies and old ladies for fun, quietly taking useless flesh sacks off the street for your arcane...

Two thoughts: You could make it that as they clear out the dungeon it starts to sever the link to shadowfell. So each time they go back they have less trouble falling in with Shadowfell encounters. (For example: The second time through encounters get misty and can't damage the PCs as well...

You obviously don't hang out with enough people of the older generation. Almost everyone I know that's in their 70s-80s calls them "rubbers". You also might find that some of the things you say may get a strange reaction from them as well. For example the phrase "you suck" has provoked more...

Why? From wizards perspective they already gave you an option. Go buy Keep on the Shadowfell. That covers your first level adventure. They can give you a wider range of support by publishing adventures of higher level. Plus, if they released free adventures of 1st level it would just cut...

You may not want to go all the way up to chain as you would lose the Int bonus to your AC. You may find that you get a better tank if you just move up to hide armor...

Sorry if this has been asked before but... It looks like Astral fire adds a +1 feat bonus to damage to powers with the radiant keyword. Weapon focus adds a +1 feat bonus to all attacks made with a weapon of x type. So if I use a power like Healing Strike which does 2[W] + Strength radient...

Except that the creature can use action 1 to move, which gets stopped by the OA, then use his second move action to move past the fighter to the squishy mage. Since each character can only get one OA per turn, there is nothing the fighter can do to stop this second move. Am I missing something?

Long ago we used to just give the magic items to the character who needed it most. Then we had a couple characters who could make magic items. Ever since that campaign, Every item found goes into a spread sheet with it's value caluculated and we follow the method outlined by im_robertb Of...

Honestly I dont see a problem..... as long as you assume there are a number of other creatures around. In the target 5 person party, The two fighters focus on Orc 1, while Orcs 2-5 get free shots on the cleric, mage and rogue. Sure Orc 1 is toast, but then I'll guess the mage is too.

Sorry but I have to disagree with you here... Typically in 3.x when I run a large fight with large amounts of minor bad guys (minions), if someone drops a high level AoE on them, they all get a save. Failed save: They join the dead pile. Made Save: They stay on the board badly wounded. (At this...
