    Dragonborn metal minis?

    I'm also using a Reaper Mini (Khong-To, Reptus Warlord), for my Dragonborn Warlord. I painted him up this summer, though he has already suffered some battle damage, now that I look closely! I love that I can combine two hobbies at once; D&D and minis.

    Disappointed in 4e

    One thing I like about WotC's 4e release schedule is that is seems (in theory) the material will be more organized, either in logical supplements or focus campaign books. Classes appear in the PH series. No longer am I going to find things like Factotum in Dungeonscape. Feats are in the PH...

    Ampersand: The Bard (merged)

    Which is why the 3.5 Bard was, generally speaking, the least played core class. I've often wanted to play the bard-type character, but just couldn't get over how 'sucktastic' they were. The 4e bard is a much needed improvement. No one that I saw liked spending their turn singing round after...

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

    Thanks for the feedback. I've updated the files in the OP to v1.2 for the form-fill and autofill versions. Allanon, I've made several of the fields so the text autosizes (and multi-line for the basic attacks on page 1). I didn't make all the fields autosize so as to keep the font size more...

    Not letting the players know how much experience they have

    With a new group (3 new to RPGs, 2 veterans) starting 4e I've been keeping track of XP in my campaign notes, but tell the players when there character levels. This gives me the 'hard numbers' to work with as a base. I know how many encounters they've overcome and what they are worth. I know...

    Official posts on DDM changes

    Count me as one that has used DDM minis exclusively for the RPG side of things. I'll be happy to see less randomization too. I buy a few boosters for the 'chance' I'll get a cool rare, but otherwise I buy individuals from my FLGS or online. I hated having to pay a premium for minis based on...

    Got the D&D 4e Starter Set...So whatcha wanna know?

    Its hard for us on ENWorld to have the perspective of a new player - we are probably the hardcore gamers of the hobby; a lot (most?) of us are probably DMs. Here is an analogy though: A month ago I bought the board game 'Arkham Horror'. It sat unopened on my shelf for weeks because I knew it...

    An autocalculating version is ready now. If you find any errors, please let me know so I can make revisions. Glad you like it. EDIT: See the OP for updated version.

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

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I've add form-fill to the character booklet now (consider it beta 1). Edit: See the OP for updated versions I'll be releasing a basic autocalculating sheet soon. It won't have drop-down menus for powers or such, but it will crunch the basic math.

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

    For my Commonwealth brothers and sisters, here is an A4 sized version. (If you live as close to the giant to the south as we do in Canada, you tend to do what he says.) Test it out for me and let me know if I've got the sizes right. Cheers, Verys

    Power Cards or Sheets?

    I think Wizards will always have difficulties as they need 2x or 3x the number of cards or slots on a sheet than anyone else. But I guess it is still better than the 3.5 cleric!

    Gladiator's up

    An excellent article - well worth the month's subscription cost! I can see a lot of paragon rangers picking up Called Shot. I wonder if 'Pin Down' is hinting at the way grappling rules are going to go; through a feat tree, as many have hypothesized. Bet you there are more in Martial Power...

    Power Cards or Sheets?

    Table space is at a premium for us too. I created this 5.5x8.5 character booklet style sheet as a way to clean up the table top. In a lot of cases, you'll only need the cover to play, which is half the size of a regular letter page. The downside is some page flipping. download

    What did you buy?

    Agreed. For the number of hours of entertainment a subscription costs it is a good deal. I can barely rent a 2 hour DVD for that cost. Don't even try and compare a movie ticket to a cinema! Popcorn alone is more expensive! I just hope the $4.95 for 'web only' option persists once the...

    Abstract Stunt System

    Thanks for this 77IM, I'm sending this around to my players now. I like how it codifies the 'DM's best friend' +2/-2 modifiers, and adds the gambling element with the extreme stunts. You get XP!

    Dragon 368 - Death Matters, Design & Developments

    Well, guess its true what they say... I DO learn something new every day B-). Good to know. I wonder if we did a poll how many people were using '3-strikes' wrong?

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

    Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you like it so far. I'm working on v1.1 now, including adding initiative to the Quick Reference section. I'm not sure I'll move the full HP/AP sections. The way I envisioned using the booklet was modelled around the 'modes' presented in the DMG. While...
