My son is 3 and we play "tell me a story" where he chooses minis for his characters and I choose monsters for them to fight. I also choose the battle maps. It's then up to me to tell the story of how Knight (sword-and-board fighter, Spear (longspear-wielding fighter), Claymore (goliath with...

Rana Mor would probably go well with Dwellers of the Forbidden City. It might even be one of the buildings there.

Juiblex's realm in the Abyss might be your best bet, as one can only image the foul odours born in that place. But I cannot think of any module that deals with this. Alternatively, there are great gatherings of mating squid that take place in the real world which make an Ed Greenwood novel look...

I would just count on the giff to get lost as they're blind and chasing flying creatures.

This has been absolutely brilliant, Johnathon. Thanks for posting all of these; I've really enjoyed reading them. I hope you get to run the same players through the new world one day - being a cleric of your own former PC would be an interesting experience! :) BTW, I think Grottlepox and the...

And I'm still wondering how a bunch of blind giff are finding their way across a room, let alone finding floating beholders they can grapple.... (BTW, that has nothing to do with the edition.)

So this platoon of blind giff wander across a cavern and hope the beholders are still in the same place? Why are the beholders in the same place? How are the giff able to reach them? And how are the giff able to target these creatures they cannot see? (Yes, I understand Perception vs Stealth but...

Here are some of my favourites by edition: OE: Caverns of Thracia. 1E: Dwellers of the Forbidden City. 2E: The Shattered Circles and Gates of Firestorm Peak. 3.xE: Raiders of Galath's Roost (Dungeon). 4E: Reavers of Harkenwold.

If the giffs are in darkness, how do they see the beholders so as to be able to grapple them?

Examples are also important when explaining 4E because it's the edition that has arguably attracted the most BS ("It's WOW!") so part of the job of explaining it is also dealing with the misinformation that exists.

Monte, one of the things that attracted me to Ptolus was your website with its write-ups of your session reports. I was wondering, what campaigns are you currently running and/or playing in for fun (as opposed to simply for playtesting purposes)? I'm just looking for the quick elevator pitches...

Actually, I meant what I wrote. The first few posts were excellent and I thought that Manbearcat nailed it with his description of 4E: So my post was an expression of genuine pleasure about a topic I'm always happy to read more about, and with a hope that we may end up with something to help...

Thanks to this thread, I've found the Wing Three session reports and have been reading through them over the past couple of days. Great stuff! (My favourites so far: arguably the tragedy of Edmont not wanting to come back from the dead... and the surprise reveal of the new king.) My son is 3...

Have you looked at Water Bob's thread on these forums? It's a tremendous resource and, at the time I am typing this reply, is next to yours in the list of threads. Go there. It really has almost everything you need.

And we are on our way to another AWESOME 4E advice thread. Well done, everybody! :)

I'm 46 and my first exposure to Wil Wheaton was via the columns he wrote in Dungeon or Dragon for a while because so many people were whingeing and bitching online because he wrote them. But the first time I actually saw him on screen was on The Big Bang Theory. Yes, I missed an entire...

Wasn't that the basis of Clinton's defence when he was impeached? (Serious question. Not interested in the politics.)

You also need only look at DL10: which stat block does it tell you to use when you encounter not-Tiamat in a dream? That would be Tiamat's. Walks like a duck. Quacks like a duck....

Actually, I do agree about the classes. I ended up making cheat sheets at late-Heroic onwards covering all the triggered powers the PCs had. I also experimented a few times with preparing their character sheets in the same format as monster stat blocks. Basically, I just needed to get them...

How does 13th Age hate those things? It has tactical combat which doesn't require minis but can work just as well if you use them. It has its own version of AEDU. It has non-magical healing. I'm not seeing the hate. I'm not even seeing mild dislike.
