Great job. Quick and painless and does exactly what it says on the tin. Two quick questions: is it possible you could make it show the temperatures in Celsius as well as Fahrenheit (or instead of, through an option)? And can you make it possible for us users to edit the calendar?

Brilliant! So I am not the only one who does this then?! :)

Less than four months remain until the release of WotC's 4e "super-adventure" 'Revenge of the Giants'. This looks mighty interesting but I would really like to know more about it as soon as possible. Here is what we already know, based on info gleaned from the net. "Fee-Fie-Foe-FUN! Evil...

Ooh, takes me back! Anyone else remember 1e and its Fireballs having a volume of 33,000 cubic feet "conforming to the general shape of the area in which it occurs"? Fun for the DM, all them shenanigans. Fwiw, I DM 4e now and, not that it's come up yet, but I rule that these effects are cubic...

The key is in how the power is laid out. If the effect (small 'e') is listed under the Hit: heading, then it only applies on a successful hit. If it is listed under an Effect: (large 'e') heading, then it applies whether the attack hits or misses. There are also effects, usually lesser ones...

I am considering running the SoW campaign without awarding XP. We have done this before in our group and it seems to work quite well. The idea is that certain points of the adventures require the characters to be a certain level and so the DM simply makes it so by fiat. An AP makes this...

I too had a message from Amazon.co.uk that they didn't have the MP book and had to revise the delivery date to early December. I was actually going in to my account to cancel the order when it showed up as "Dispatching soon". They sent it off yesterday and it arrived this morning. So, three...

See this post on the GG forums for more info. The author of M1 pitches them in the BECMI paradigm, with the Master modules being Companion/Master (as opposed to DCC modules being Basic/Expert).

Definitely says "Wrath Recon" on the cover art, but it's "Wraith Recon" everywhere else (including Matt's post). I hope that hasn't been locked down and sent off to the printers just yet!

It has already been stated somewhere (I forget where, but it was an official source) that next month's Dragon support article will be about character hooks and bringing your character into the AP, specifically Brindol and Elsir Vale.

I can largely ignore the whole campaign setting problem (meaning the lack of info and background on Brindol and Elsir Vale) because I will be setting this in Karameikos anyway. And, to be honest, I take the "points of light" thing to be a campaign approach and not a full-blown setting. I...

Why are there no lances in the 4e rulebooks? There are all sorts of rules for mounted combat but no mention (no stats) of lances, surely the canonical weapon of mounted combat. All I can assume is that the lances are scheduled to be included in the martial power sourcebook to be released later...

Does anyone know the RGB values for the colours used in the various parts of the stat-blocks, traps, etc?

Aye, but you try telling the young gamers of today that, and they won't believe you! ;) It's true about the shift thing, but they might not always get the choice (fleeing in panic as the result of a spell effect, for one). Or you might argue that if the creature has reached the point where...

Well no, OK. I never actually advocated classifying the Combat Challenge effect as an OA (merely citing it). I can see that that would cause all manner of problems, for a number of reasons. I do think however, that it should be one trigger or the other and not both. In fact, I am...

Not in my campaign No, not in my campaign. To all intents and purposes, the Combat Challenge is marking an opponent as "yours" and allowing you an Opportunity Attack if it does anything but attack you on its turn. IMO, it was an oversight not to actually cite the OA within the Combat...

Critical Hits Your summary of critical hits is incorrect. A rolled natural 20 is only an automatic hit. The maximum damage only comes into play if the modified result is sufficient to hit the opponent's AC. That's canon anyway; I imagine several DMs will be house-ruling that one.

Font size And is it just me or is the font size a point or two too big? Still, I suppose that's what makes it look so clear, so ...

Of course, once Amazon reports the items as dispatched then it's down to the postal service. 'Mon the Royal Mail!

And my brother just received his PHB :) DNH
