I have to agree on the Great Modron March. My players wouldn't help them after that first adventure. Tzarevitch

"Dead Gods" is the gold standard. It is epic in scope and fun to play and run. It is easily one of the best adventures I have ever run. "Harbinger House" is quite good too as is "Tales from the Infinite Staircase." The long adventure in the Hellbound boxed set was good and epic in scope but it...

What they said :)

Greetings everyone, My gaming group is looking for a couple of additional players to join an ongoing 4e D&D game. The three of us currently playing are 30 or so years old. The game is located in Alexandria, VA (near the Van Dorn metro station). We play alternating Saturdays from about 3PM to...

There is a twisted race of dragon offspring on Athas already. They are called the dray. They are nearly identical to the dragonborn. As for mul, just sand off "orc" and replace with "mul". Appearance-and stat-wise they are close. Tieflings can easily be another mutant race from the desert or...

I suspect Al-Qadim and some oriental adventures setting will appear later. Al-Qadim was too well designed not to reuse. I suspect it would be surprisingly easy to reintroduce in 4e (just need to create an elemental wizard class and a sha'ir class for the setting). Personally, I thought Rokugan...

If you haven't seen it, watch "Stardust." It is a far cooler movie with a far cooler airship captained by Robert De Niro. Tzarevitch

Not correct. True powergamers can do scary things by picking up a level or 2 in various multiclasses for wizard and cleric. Wizard and Cleric can be multiclasses with almost no loss in capability from the original class and massive gains in power by picking and choosing your multiclasses. Only...

The rock on a rope never did anything to my PCs. They saw the kobold standing there with the rope and unloaded on him before he got to go. They had no idea what the thing did but they (correctly) decided that if the kobolds wanted to use it, they did NOT want the kobolds to use it. They...

There was a setting called Nyambe that was just that. It is 3.0 or 3.5 and was pretty good. Unless you live near a well-stocked game store though you may need to mail order it. I think Atlas Games produced it. Google-search for it, you should be able to find it easily. Tzarevitch

Anyone know how crafting mundane items like armor is supposed to work in 4e? Is it still a skill? I may have missed it but I don't recall seeing anything about this in the hints and previews so far and craft didn't seem to be on the list of known 4e skills. Come to think of it, I didn't see any...

I like your idea for the warlock to act both as druid and templar (until the druid rules come out anyway). I would use orcs for muls (since there should be rules to play them in the MM), and use ogres for half-giants (although that may make them non-player characters). The dragonborn replace...

No offense, but that was one idiot of a lich to get ganked that easily. My PCs tried that against a derro savant a while back. They discovered the Greater Anticipate Teleport spell the hard way then got hit with 3 rounds of maximixed delayed blast fireballs (courtesty of his greater rod of...

lol. At least my reaction wasn't unique. All I could think when I saw the minis is, "what happened?" They look like they fell in a time warp and re-released the old Harbinger set. They are that poorly sculpted and painted. The comparison is even worse when you compare ones that have been...

Ironically, that's a cherub. It actually IS a classical angel. :) Tzarevitch P.S. 4 wings + eyes = one of the cherubim

The community will support it as always. There will always be grognards but the community will support 4e regardless for one simple reason: market share. As has been posted before, Monte may be the 500lb gorilla but WotC is the Cloverfield monster. . . on steroids with a planet-destroying laser...

Isn't that a picture of the steel predator mini? http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/af_gallery/48.jpg The Iron Defender is a small dog-like homunculus from the Eberron setting. Tzarevitch

Among other things I notices in the book, it seems that ogre magi have are again referred to as "Oni" like the 1e monster manual (where they were sometimes referred to as "Oni" or "Japanese Ogres"). There is a picture of an ogre mage toward the back with the caption "oni". I guess this is to...

It looks like that is the case (I have the book too). Tzarevitch

I have news for you. Spy networks existed BEFORE the dawn of satellite communications. They date back to ancient days. Unless we are talking about trully vast distances, your intel does not have to be real time. If the dragon wants magical communications, it can find a few of those ubiquitous...
