The truth of the matter is that civil disobedience is the most effective way to effect change. If people just tried to change laws without breaking them, it's quite possible black people in the US would still have to give up bus seats to white passengers. Now, I'm not equating civil...

The calculating ones are cool an all, but they often are not updated with powers, weapons, etc., outside of the PHB. I'd prefer just to type everything in myself and then I can update it when the character changes/levels up and print it again. A fillable PDF that can be saved (seen plenty of...

You need to remember that the poll is set up so you can choose multiple answers. I, for example, chose all 4 of the first 4 answers. The leaked PDFs got me back into D&D (and I've made a lot of purchases as a result), but other things I've looked at the PDF and decided not to get it. THe poll...

Sorry if my post came across as pedantic or rude. I was trying to agree-- my bad on the communication front.

Intellectual property doesn't refer to the actual work in question. Intellectual property refers to the exclusive rights for reproduction and/or distribution. The actual legally protected rights are the property. The term has just been thrown around and propagandized so much that people think...

Being an old school gamer, I thought 3rd edition was totally the wrong way for D&D to go and didn't really play D&D from about a year after it came out (gave it a try). I assumed in advance that 4th ed would be more of the same. I downloaded a torrent for the core books and was utterly wowed...

I'm going to start integrating the idea of premaking all magic items as cards to give the players. Fantastic resource. Saves player's asking "what's that", me replying, "it's in the PHB" followed by page flipping and whatnot.

Well, I took the ideas in this thread back to my group. They didn't really catch on. Many of them still insist on doing the math for each attack bonus every time they roll the die and don't want to pre calculate everything on a play mat and cards because it's "too much work" or "I don't want...

The post in the link above totally nails it. From a practical perspective as a DM, I'd say DCCs are things you can literally run right out of the module. Like a classic D&D module. The master series will require more freeform skill from a DM. It will require the integration of player...

If the group takes too long and camps too much, Kalarel makes progress on the rift. Have a surge of undead come from below. Have obvious evidence of an increase in necrotic energy-- maybe have the air become freezing cold and the dead things they previously killed get up as zombies. Instill...

I've been using this idea since you posted it. I write the HP rather than use tokens. I find it way, way faster to simply subtract the damage and rewrite it than to count out coins or tokens or whatever. If I did use some sort of token, I'd just use money. 1 cent = 1 hp. Here in the frozen...

I think this thread is fine, but a new one with a good first post with lots of good links would be nice too. Grandpa-- I noticed sunrods (1216) don't have a number in their price on the card in the PDF. Not really worthy of an update/reupload on it's on, but something to add to the list for...

Just a note. Colour text is usually reserved for moderators speaking in an official capacity. Generally you should be sticking to non coloured text.

Then why do you insist on doing this to one of the players-- the DM?

You nailed it. Totally nailed it. And the funny thing is that those trolling are doing it from some sort of stance of a moral high ground. As if the DM's aesthetic decisions are somehow subject to their approval and if they're not accommodated, the DM is somehow the unreasonable one...

I'm another random treasure guy. And the treasure is generated when I'm building the encounter, so if there's a +1 sword, you better believe someone is going to be wielding it. Stoat, a friend of mine has finished some tables that do exactly what you're looking for, but they're not...

Date would be fine.

That's disgusting behaviour. A thousand times worse than a DM not wanting something in his game and not giving reasons that satisfy you. Breaking up a group? Trying to convince people not to play with that guy and play with you instead? That is truly immature behavior of a magnitude far...

A friend of mine made some decent random item tables, but they look pretty unprofessional and need to layout work before they could/should be released for other people to use. Or do you mean something else?

My friend just turned me onto to cheap self adhesive vinyl floor tiles from home depot. They are like 30 cents for a square foot tile, have a sticky side and you just put the paper you print out of the printer on them and then cut them with kitchen scissors.
