    Film: The Dungeon Masters

    Me too, it sounded like it could be a fictional drama, but the film's (very sparse) website lists it as a documentary. If so, um, hmm... :confused:

    One Dark Night in Weeping Briar?

    I also played the pally, and joked with the table that my best power was called "Armor Class: 30". In the first encounter, I solo-tanked a trog for nearly the entire fight. Fun. :p The bard and the avenger were definitely the stars of that encounter.

    How does the encounter builder work?

    I think its terribly ironic (as well as unsurprising) that the little throwaway, half-dev'ed flash tools they added as unsupported afterthoughts turn out to be real value-adds that generate real interest. Mis-identified user requirements are the #1 BANE of all software development. I've always...

    Creative combat objectives (other than "kill 'em all")

    In the crazy terrain motif; one of the Dark Forces games featured a timed, fighting escape off a falling starship in the upper atmosphere while the artificial gravity is severely hosed. Even better, No One Lives Forever 2 does this one better, ala Wizard of Oz, where you fight a ninja boss...

    D&D 4E Running player commentary on PCat's 4E Campaign - Heroic tier (finished)

    Aftereffect: The {previous} effect continues until the end of your next turn? Seems like the simplest change. Miss duration = 1; hit duration = n + 1. B-)

    Oots 628!!

    Not intending to dogpile here, because I know lots others have commented on this, but I wanted to turn the perspective around a little. Isn't this the very definition of a Rat-Bastard DM move? The slain dragon was the boss of an optional side-quest, killed so that the fighter could...

    Character Builder on Flashdrive?

    That would be good to know. Since it's a .NET app, there is no requirement for the devs to write to the registry; .NET apps can be written to run from any location, given valid path and security permissions. It's really a design decision on whether to use the registry or not. So the question...

    advice to anyone still wondering if they should purchase a DDI subscription today

    If your interest in DDI is primarily in the online data, as opposed to the CB or the downloadable content (Dragon, Dungeon, etc.), AND you're price sensitive at even the 5 or 6 dollars a month range, THEN yeah, a long term sub may be a borderline proposition. That's a pretty narrow slice if you...

    D&D 4E Homebrew setting I'll use for 4e

    Just in case no one else has mentioned it (I'm still catching up with the thread); the ruins of entire lost civilizations are now at the bottom of the mist... :devil: If you go with a post-cataclysm, lost magic/tech angle, those ruins will house precursor artifacts, etc.. :devil: :devil: What...

    Oots 626!!

    It's pretty clear that the imp was hit by disintegrate and made its save. As suspicious as the imp character is in general, I cannot think it intentionally risked disintegration for some sleight of hand. Parent or mate seems pretty likely to me.

    dogs are defenders; cats are strikers

    I have two Boxers with very different personalities; their nicknames are Laser and Spaz. Guess which one marks her enemies, and which has a close burst air licking power? ;)

    4e: A work in progress?

    Speaking only for myself, I initially thought 3.5 was a really great idea. In practice, however, I became pretty pissed-off about the it, and suffered from point-five burn out bad enough drive me out of D&D for a couple of years. :rant: After an intense Traveller + Shadowrun 4 sabbatical, the...

    4e: A work in progress?

    I don't have much to add to the already excellent replies so far, except to say that exception-based design affords greater flexibility in making changes to gameplay. While this doesn't help skill challenges much, class and power issues like Wizard dailies or Ranger twin-strike monomania and...
