    What topics would you like to see in future DIgital Insider columns

    I thought Randy's DDI news updates where a tremendous step forward in communication with the fans. I saw a lot less gripping in the forums because there was two way communication going on. I don't really need dates or estimates for when the tools will be done, but 'progress reports' would be...

    Twelve Months of Dragon: What do you want from the Annual?

    Some posters in this thread on the WotC boards suggest that the Dragon Annual will be all new content, like the Dragon Annuals 1-6 (1996-2001). I was thinking Dragon Annual was going to be more along Paizo's Dragon Compendium Vol 1 (2005), or the Best of Dragon vol 1-5 published in the early...

    Forked Thread: layoffs? Randy Buehler's last column from today

    No, I didn't see it either for a while this morning...the only way I got to it was through the link set up in the feedback forum thread on WotC boards. I wonder if Randy knew it was going to be his last update when he wrote it? I'm guessing not. I thought the DDI news was a great line of...

    layoffs?

    I'm sad to see so many titans let go, especially this time of year. Like everyone else here, I hope they find new positions soon. I'll especially miss Dave Noonan - his pre-4e blogs really got me excited for 4e, and the podcasts with Mearls were something I always looked forward to. I hope...

    Verys Arkon's Character Booklet (v2) New 1 page version beta.

    Please feel free to try and get the two to talk. I'd love to use the Character Builder with my sheets :) All I ask is you leave the 'Verys Arkon' logo on it. I have no idea how you do this, it is beyond my ability. If you need the original files let me know.

    Verys Arkon's Character Booklet (v2) New 1 page version beta.

    One Page version Here is a stripped down 1 page (double sided) version of the booklet, for use with power cards. I've taken out the power reference sheet, a lot of the fluffy sections (personality, history), and focused on crunchy bits. It is in PDF letter without form-fill or autocalculate...

    Verys Arkon's Character Booklet (v2) New 1 page version beta.

    Since there seems to be a resurgence in interest I'll do some work on the sheets this week, and try and implement these suggestions. I'll give a 'for power cards' version a shot. Thanks for the feedback, it is nice to know it is being used! Verys.

    Iokharic Script Font

    Very nice, thank-you! I also would like to see the other scripts :lol: Cheers, Verys

    Verys Arkon's Character Booklet (v2) New 1 page version beta.

    No immediate plans for an update, but I'm still using it and looking for ways to improve it. It also hasn't been downloaded very much, so I'm not sure if the effort is worth it. Cam's last suggestion kind of defeats the purpose :) I was trying to get away from power cards, and there are...

    December Playtests: Druid, Invoker, AV2, and Mercykillers! (merged)

    Yeah, sacrilegious to not want more playtest articles, I know :) I love them too. But I'm looking at the rest of the magazine, and besides drafts of classes that will appear completed elsewhere, there really isn't much left. Think about it like this: If you go back to December's Dragon in 2...

    December Playtests: Druid, Invoker, AV2, and Mercykillers! (merged)

    I like the playtest articles as much as anyone, but December's editorial calendar seems too heavily weighted toward playtests, and not enough other content. I think limiting it to one per month would be better balance, or at least don't replace other Dragon content with the extra playtest...

    Amazon.ca not shipping orders?

    UPDATE: I took smdmcl's advice and dropped H3 from the order and Martial Power shipped the next day. If I had been smart I would have cancelled the whole order and started a new one with MP and added P1 to get the free shipping, but by the time I thought about it it had already gone into its...

    PC starts a town: DM panics...

    If you were looking for something more abstract, you could model the community using the Affiliation rules from PHBII. You could even have individual elements within the community modeled as separate affiliations. Every month or so, decide what the affiliations do, make the checks, and adjust...

    Twelve Months of Dragon: What do you want from the Annual?

    The list is great. I would like to see others' lists of nominated articles! Maybe after a while I'll compile the nominated articles for a second poll. It would be hard for me to narrow down my choices to fit 160 pages with the six or so issues out...choosing after 12 are out is going to be...

    Twelve Months of Dragon: What do you want from the Annual?

    It is early yet, but we have almost half the issues now. What are you looking for in the Dragon Magazine Annual next September (hardcover 160 pages)? [I’m assuming playtest articles would be excluded, as they are drafts and will see their final versions printed elsewhere.] Edit: 12 months...

    Amazon.ca not shipping orders?

    Gah! Worse than not getting a shipping notice, I got a delay notice! Bummer. It isn't expected to ship until December 2-4 :( Maybe I'll bite the bullet and cancel the order and go down to the Sentry Box (Calgary) and pick one up.

    Extended Rest in the Horned Hold (spoilers)

    I agree that taking on the third tower without an extended rest is asking for trouble. I let the party rest in the pantry, and they convinced the serving slaves to keep up appearances for the evening meal. I made a random encounter check to see if a patrol tried to check the pantry, but it...

    Hardest encounters

    First encounter of a new campaign had Needlefang drake swarms, and was very close to a TPK. Would have been the shortest campaign ever.

    Amazon.ca not shipping orders?

    Mine haven't shipped either (MP, H3).

    Draconomicon Art Gallery

    I'm glad to see they are getting back to the art galleries - they are very handy resources. I hope they go back and do at least the Core books. I'd love to use some of this artwork as desktop images - I hope they make some available at higher resolutions.
