I haven't had a TPK in a while (and the last TPK I had was quite intentional, ending one "chapter" of the campaign, and beginning a new one, with players playing their former PCs as "wandering souls"). However, after a typical TPK, I'm likely to scrap that particular campaign, come up with a...

Click on the Reviews icon on the top navigation bar (the one right under the logo, 6th icon from the right). Then click on "New Review." See screenshot:

@Morrus:, what is the intended use of {mention} tags, other than adding another popularity meter (if I wanted to notify someone of a thread, surely PM is a better option)? I'm not opposed, I'm just curious.

The delve format limits adventure design too much. I agree that Paizo's combat encounters could be improved a bit (particularly compared to their absolutely superb NPCs, background information, and overall adventure structure), but I really don't think the delve is the way to go.

Here are some that I can think of right away: Briareus Redscar, half-orc, male Dargon Ironhammer, dwarf, male Edmund Kroppen, human, male Klaus Winfried von Frich, human, male Leanna, aasimar, female Olbek Battle-Son, half-orc, male Pelyra Thalder, human, female Sun Wei, human, male Myron...

If you go to DDMSpoilers, you'll see that the June 2010 Game Trade Magazine disagrees with you. Lords of Madness is slated for August 2010 release. Box art doesn't look promising, though.

To those who joined DDM collecting at a later date, you need to understand the Merric's Law of Miniatures (see Merric's sig, above): DDM could have been cheap and non-random, but then, it wouldn't have the absolutely enormous range of figures which was one of its most awesome features...

So, what is there in the modules other than endless fights with Orcus and friends?

As I noted above, those are subscribed threads, not favorite threads (I use both). Subscribed threads are much more accessible, they can be reached directly from the "Do Stuff!" menu.

The term used for the ancient realm of Jhaamdath in Forgotten Relams was psiocracy.

Right. Favorite threads are indeed on the front page of "settings" (a fairly odd place for them, IMO, unless "settings" really means "My ENworld Portal"). They are separate from subscribed threads, i.e. subscribed threads are those you are interested in receiving notifications for, and favorites...

This changes absolutely nothing for me, since Mike's vision of what D&D should be is far, far away from my own. Still - best of luck and I'm sure he'll do what he believes is best for the brand.

I can no longer find a way to get to my favorite threads. I'm sure it's right in my face, but I can't find it.

This strip certainly makes up for the last couple!

Everyone was PL 10 and we used just the core book. Despite this, the differences between characters were staggering.

Will it actually be balanced this time? One time we tried a M&M campaign, the GM ran away screaming because one of the players made a totally unbalanced character that he had no way of challenging. OTOH, I constantly tweaked my character (with the GM's permission), and he was still virtually...

I really can't explain it better than I already did. To me, Eberron is not a world. It's a collection of adventure sites. Every page of the setting is filled with Mystery! Adventure! Thrills! Action! Drama! It's a gigantic plot hook, a world for heroes; it's not a world where you expect to ever...

Red Wizards of Thay from FR, as revised in the 3.x FRCS. I'm pretty sure that an evil magocracy that's trying to expand its influence through the sale of magic items and contraband can fit in any campaign. Eldreth Veluuthra from FR. Nazi elves? Sold. I've always seen elves as arrogant bastards...

I think you need to spread around 50 XP or give it to 50 different people - I'm not sure which exactly.

I try to give out XP as often as I can, but, interestingly enough, most of the time I want to award it to the same 10 or 15 people I've already rewarded. Because they are awesome!
