    What are you playing that is NOT D&D?

    I play in a weekly Shadowrun 3rd edition game, in addition to the 4E D&D game I run.

    Core Beliefs article list

    There's no direct continuation of the series for DDI, but there is a similar series called Channel Divinity. Some are more like the old Core Beliefs, others are just themed crunch articles.

    what are the ramifications of points-of-light?

    Actually most of sharn has working sewage systems! Easy to run them when you just need to let the stuff follow the will of gravity, and drain out into the sea. Only the lower levels (lower dura etc) don't have that sort of system, and I would think some might still from back when sharn was...

    Favourite Fantasy Settings

    My favourite worlds are: Eberron - a great fantastic world for gaming and I really enjoy a bunch of Novels set there (Dreaming Dark & Thorn of Breland trilogies by Keith Baker; the two Geth starring trilogies by Don Basingwaithe) I also enjoy the Wheel of Time earth, as well as middle earth as...

    PH3 Feats Excerpt: Superior Implements, Versatile Expertise, and Unarmored Agility

    This is how I read the feat too. There's nothing that makes it seem to be that you need to take a feat to swap to a skill power.

    I love you WotC! (DM Rewards Stuff)

    They can actually! A home game can be anyone, anywhere - each player and the DM just need a DCI/RPGA number. Link: Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Event (DM Rewards)

    Why all the ritual hate?

    An alternate to reducing the costs to encourage player use is add an extra power that is gained with the ritual caster feat (and I'd say the martial practices also) Hasten Ritual Standard Action Prerequiste: You must have your Ritual Book and ritual components on hand to use this power. Effect...

    This mentality needs to die

    While his ruling was worded badly, or used faulty logic, he came to the correct ruling. I don't think Darkfire is a terrible name for the power (though i can see how a First time player might misread the name and not look at the power etc) I can't come up with a better name for the power, faerie...

    New Podcast format makes me sad

    I like just watching them on youtube, much easier than having to like, listen to audio. It might be useful for the audiopodcast fans to get an audio-only version of it when the entire play session is up and ready.

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    Stopping a company from using "Army Builder" to refer to their product is one thing, trying to stop regular people from using a trademarked term to refer to another product is another. They can't stop you from saying "I need to Xerox that document" or "There are a bunch of types of Aspirin over...

    What is a 'Fighter'?

    PC classed people are supposed to be rare to begin with - a Fighter can be identified as a Bandit, a Knight, a Paladin (for a devout but not divinely empowered fighter), a Warrior, a Berserker, a Rake, a Samurai... etc It all depends on the character. The term fighter can easily be used in game...

    DDXP 2010 News and Updates

    I would think an AP2 and a DP2 are likely early next year, and we are getting new material for some of the original classes (plus druid) in the two player essential books. I like than PC minis are back to being in the main set (in some ways) because I primarily DM, I wasn't going to buy a PHBM...

    DDXP 2010 News and Updates

    From what I understand, the essentials line is going to have some new builds/powers/feats etc for existing classes. I would have to assume that those features will be on par with normal power levels of the classes, but with simpler mechanics. I mean look at the classes they've chosen to focus...

    What do you want the next "genre setting" to be?

    Oriental Adventures: Kara-Tur-less, (though that region could be briefly mentioned in like a chapter for an overview of it or something) with it's own unique setting - a less internally complicated Rokugan-like setting. Urban Arcana: I'd be totally into that as a real fleshed out setting...

    Dragons... what should they be?

    I want each dragon to be unique-ish. Some should be melee focused, kicking out various attack routines. Some should be magic focused, have little in the way of physical attacks The only thing they should all have is the ability to fly and attack with a breath weapon, though some should focus in...

    Dragon Articles - Summer of 09 v Winter of 10

    In a perfect world, there would be about half the magazine with these short 1-4 page articles with powers, items etc And then about half of it to longer more in depth articles (which works out to about 2 or 3 articles a month I guess) Dungeon is getting it about right, format-wise right now...

    D&D with my 4 year old daughter

    It might be fun as they get better at playing to introduce some more mechanics. I was thinking, change the regular attack die to a d10, Allow the "sword guy"/Warrior to Use a d12 instead for attacks and defense. Have the Bow and Arrow guy only be able to have a limited range (5 squares maybe)...

    Solo Adventure Scenario in Dungeon!

    No guidelines are given. Most of the monsters are minions anyway though, so adding extra hitpoints doesn't do too much. It would seem to me that it would run just fine with two PCs, and you drop splugg as a companion character. I played through this earlier today as a hybrid...

    Eberron 3.5

    They aren't the same, the 4E campaign guide is designed solely for the DM where the 3.5 Campaign Setting was designed for both the Player and the DM. On pure Theme, History, and general non-rules elements I wouldn't ever give up my ECG even if I was going to be playing 3.5. And the 3.5 setting...
