I passed on the vote. Lame, I know. See, in 3.x I never used the MM. Now, I will... and I think if the PCs think they know what's coming will let me try and mess with them in fun ways. Or, if it makes sense for the PC to know about the monster - groovy. I actually like when PCs can use knowledge...

That is really interesting, and it's kind of cool that it came through so well even in pre-4e. Can you give me a link?

Random generation for stuff. I often forget the kind of random junk that would be sitting in a room. I try to think of a lot of my dungeons and keeps and such as places where things really live... so a random list of common Kobold crap or generic goblinoid ... stuff (couldn't think of a g word...

Subvert the take! Kill its paradigms, stuff the thing! Fun thread. In other news... it depends on the party. Right now, we're rocking two paladins of 'Hamut, and a cleric of the same dragongod (church and state pay them 2 silver/month). The halfling Rogueger is employed by the church for his...

I'm not an expert at the concept of Flow. I know as much as the next person who's like, "Yeah man, I know what you mean." A really rough description is 'being in the zone', a sense of time dilation... is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is by...

You wanted to Pole us? Oh man... that reminds me of that one great thread... Anyway, depends on the PCs and group. We're thinking of running a warlord and cleric in one group during a pre-4e game... soo... whichever one does better? XD

I've always made up my ingame mechanics based on how wealthy the city/region the PCs are in. I'll probably still roll that way, so I voted that such things do not concern me.

The archmage was... meh? One of my old players from 3.x would've loved that epic destiny... it's essentially what he wanted in and out of character. But, I personally liked the 3.5 epic destinies listed in that DDI article. They seemed more... universal. If there are focused ones like...

Ironic or intentional? (Still haven't finished Confessor, though) Like Unearthed Arcana? I always told my friends who wanted to dm to read that book.

It could be the college kid in me, but I like pizza, dew, and dice to go with my meals. ...just sayin'.

Wizard's First Rule? Allusions aside, I think most people who place such complaints believe that the exchange of money for information is not a fair exchange, or that WoTC is specifically trying to release books that have small amounts of useful content that do not fully justify their cost...

Waterskin typo. It could be waterskin or water skin, but not watersking. Yeah, nitpicking is... not worth it, but ah well...

Agreed. That's a pretty great paladin BG. I dig it, by the way. I'm glad that it really seems like 4e is going towards a pretty open RP/background playability... that one's class and combat role are not who they are. Anyone else agree/disagree?

Isn't Curse of the Dark Dream a type of illusion spell? Even if it isn't supposed to be, I'm totally fluffing it up that way. That's how I felt at first. Sometimes I do feel like that. Then I think about how each class is getting its own chapter... and then I think about how huge the book would...

Yeah, thanks for the character sheets! My group uses them.

We continued on from the game we started last week Wednesday night. It was quite fun. The Rogue/Ranger and Paladin/Wizard bonded in character, while the cleric is winning friends with his sweet uses of Healing Words, well-placed attacks, and nuking zombie minions with Turn Undead. There was a...

I think I liked just about everything from today's update. Crunchy and fluffy, just the way I like it. The warlord's stuff grew on me after a moment (also, a level 1 warlord can be run!). I really like the orcs, they seem like a decent challenge for higher level heroic characters. The traps...

A 'superior weapon' if one will? (Ohohoho...)

...Sounds like they're mixing it up. Edit: Which could include traps, I suppose...

If you do somehow get it at that date, you promise to post info? ;)
