    Making the Game Harder.

    Well you've got tp balance fun vs. feel. Dazing and stunning characters will make combat drag out longer and will reduce the opportunities for players to do something. Why subtract a hit point off every class, when you can simply bump up the monster damage? Critical hits are fun. Nerfing...

    Weak wizard - strong wizard

    I think that "leveling up" is really just an artifact of the game to provide purpose and rewards for players.

    A Prison Break Module: Need Recomendations

    I have most of these Dungeon/Dragon magazines, and they look like a perfect source of inspiration and structure. But man does it make me miss having printed magazines. :( Any other ideas?

    A Prison Break Module: Need Recomendations

    I've got an idea for an adventure for my Eberron campaign, but I'd like to steal from existing adventures. The outline of my idea is like this: The PCs discover a plot to free Melysse Miron, the Anti-Keeper, from the island prison, Dreadhold, which they need to foil by catching up with the...

    I made this mistake as well, but you actually can edit the initiaive for each player to match their roll.

    Dealing with unthankful players

    I had some experiences similar to the OP. I solved it by telling my problem players I was burned out and asking if one of them would take over DMing for a while so I could play. After they had a chance to sit in the "hotseat" the had a different appreciation for the challenges of DMing and I...

    Oh man...I didn't even think of that one! I love it! What's it been like to develop iphone apps and get them on the iTunes store? How many hours have the two of you put in so far to get the app where it is now? Are you both experienced programmers?

    Attn: DMs with iPhones/iPod Touch - Need help and feedback.

    I really need to avoid providing feedback when I'm tired... I agree that showing the defenses in the initiative list is not feasible. But drilling down is fine By "damage dealt" I mean that I should have fields for current HP, total HP and the bloodied value, but also a clear field that I...

    Attn: DMs with iPhones/iPod Touch - Need help and feedback.

    I'd love to use: H4N44RKKMXLN But I cannot seem to figure out a way to use the code to make the purchase? Oh well. I purchased it. Here's my feedback: 1) Since you already have a space to enter character info, go ahead and make a spot to enter the 4 defenses. 2) You can add a "damage dealt"...

    WotC: Character Builder's effect on Third Party Publishers

    I forego 3rd party content because I can't use it in character builder. What's stopping a consortium of publishers from working with a company like Code Monkey Publishing to develop an independent char builder that can use WotC's XML output and can modify the character with publisher material...

    NC Game Day XIX (April 25-26): GenCon Jr. Rides Again!

    Looking forward to it. Is there any sort of GenCon "meet & greet" for ENworlders or NC Gamesday folks?

    NC Game Day XIX (April 25-26): GenCon Jr. Rides Again!

    *Grumble* had to work all that weekend and missed my chance to meet everyone. When's the next Con in the Triangle area?

    New WotC D&D DMing Survey

    Glyfair, you're spot on. I wish the questions would target what i WANT to be able to do, but do not have appropriate computer tools for.

    My own "Dr. Horrible's sing-along blog": a musical about my D&D campaign

    What a wonderful gift! I can only aspire to earn such an effort from my own friends and family someday. In the meantime...it looks like my daughter is not the only one with tinkerbell footie pajamas.

    GTS 2009 D&D Seminar - the Rouse discusses D&D

    So...ummm...can we start speculating on the next D&D movie? Starring Felicia Day, Wil Weaton, Vin Diesel... I'm kind of amazed that a company like Hasbro just figured this out...espcially so late after the Star Wars phenomenon (and the related success of Kenner) What's the feasibility of...
