I go into combat not knowing what to expect - the encounter could be avoided entirely (which has happened) in which case it doesn't even see one round. So, do I expect something to die in one shot (aside from minions of course), of course not, but I think what you are getting at is when it...

Hey Thasmodious, thanks for the response! Let me just pull two quick items here... I don't want to put words in your mouth, so I apologize if this is not what you were intending... but, these two items seem (to me) to assume the following... 1) That every time a DM makes a change to a...

Bonus points if you read all of this Dannager ;) I have read through everything up to this point and just wanted to ask you, what about cases where it is not arbitrary? Cases where the decision is not random, or simply based on a whim - but rather where the DM put some thought ahead of time and...

This probably isn't the best thread to cover how to speed up an encounter - there are many other threads for that. Here are some links to just a few of them here at EN World... http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/300152-speeding-up-combat-ditching-damage-rolls.html...

This is an important theme in games I run, so it's right up there for me as well. Would XP you but I have already apparently :(

Thanks for stopping in! (would XP you, but I have recently already). No one mentioned this one specifically, but it is what inspired me to consider the town at the edge of the known world as an idea. Have one location everyone operates out of etc - it's perfect for what I am looking for, though...

Well, you have the "fun" aspect covered so that's good. There are a number of answers to this, any of which could be considered #1, so I am just going to go with one of them currently at the top of my list. Set the stage, and stay one step ahead of the players. In other words, don't write a...

bryantsonnier - See hussar's advice above, which is spot on. Also, here are some quick ideas regarding how you might show them the forest is dangerous. Some can be simple, some more complex... Simple 1) There could be corpses along the path 2) Large/ominous footprints spotted 3) Areas of...

Thanks for the responses so far! The great thing about this idea is that I already have a city that fits this description in my homebrew world. I also dig the idea of the base camp. Isn't there a mod for 4e that is similar to this - focused on exploring the ruins of an entire city? Might get...

After a 6 month hiatus from DM'ing (or playing for that matter) I am preparing to put together a campaign that I hope to start soon. It will be a fantasy setting, though I am not yet 100% sure which system I will be using (and it doesn't matter for this discussion anyway). One of the reasons...

Every time I visit this thread, there are a few more pages... ...and every time I expect to get what's going on, but find myself more confused instead, hehe. But hey, it looks like everyone is having fun ;)

I would not play it if it became something I didn't like... in which case, no, I would not be with D&D. Of course, nothing said this image will represent my stance forever - it's merely my current state of feeling ;) I wouldn't - see above. You may certainly make any kind of badge you wish -...

Was playing 3.5 until 4e released and switched to that. Played that non-stop until the end of last year (Nov 2010) -- we're now playing Pathfinder. Played in the first game of a new campaign last night in fact (and had a blast).

Sorry for the delay Dragonhelm, but yea, go ahead ;) Not sure when (read: if at all) I will get around to making any other sizes though. If you had exact dimensions in mind, it might sway me though, hehe.

So, it's been a year since I first posted this. There were a few posts on twitter today about how you can determine whether you are a good DM/GM or not and it reminded me of this thread. There were a lot of great responses here and I though, hey, why not resurrect this and see if we can't get...

Guessing I need to make a post in order to see these, so here I go ;)

It's just Arial (Black) ;)

So, just noticed... <-- level 20 For those of you keeping track, I have no idea what the limit was. I'm at 1458 now, but last I saw it (before lvl 20), it was 1401 or 03... somewhere in there.

Here we go Morrus - let me know if anything needs to be adjusted, or if you want a different format, etc...

So, I was in a weird mood at work just now (read as, lazy) and had this idea to take the crate a step farther...
