Sounds like a demographic that might need some new entries... I've been kicking around the idea of starting my own for some time now, but damn if I'm not too busy these days. Shame. Thanks for the suggestions. Definately going to add Critical Hits.

I listen to a few good RPG podcasts, with Fear the Boot being my favorite. PRoblem is, among them it seems like 4e is a 4-letter word, and they either openly bash it, use it as a punchline, or dismiss it all together. I'm not looking for an obvious promotional podcast (WotC's D&D podcast), or...

On first impression, the new format seems nice. What I noticed: Everything is referred to as an Event. Roleplaying event, encounter event, and I don't believe I saw a single skill challenge present. Not a single map was shoehorned into a jagged, awkward Dungeon Tiles layout. I love this. LEt...

Am I missing something, or are the recent Themes from the DDI articles still not available on the Character Builder? If not yet, any idea on when this awesomeness will be available?

They do. The Dragonborn is threatening an NPC who has shown no hostility, and he hasn't had a chance to explain himself. Some want to hear him out, some want to welcome him along for the adventure.

Has anyone tried to craft a skill challenge when the PCs have different agendas for the situation? The quick and dirty is that the party ended their last session with someone popping into their camp, and the Dragonborn instantly drew an axe and put it to the guy (local Inn proprieter). I like...

Thanks! These are all great ideas.

Hey there, gang: I'm attempting to run a game in which I do very little railroading. I'm trying to only have a basic outline of adventure within a greater context. I have focused mostly on creating NPCs to populate the world, figuring that most plot and character work will stem from the NPCs...

I like the idea of packets; it seems like it is infinetly modular. IF you're worried about weaker enemies, try to modify them on the fly. Never underestimate the power of a permanent +1 or +2 to hit or an increase in AC. If it gets too tough from that, make on-the-fly decisions as you see fit.

Really? I'll ignore the snap judgement for now, but rather focus on your rampant hyperbole in this situation. It's crap like this that makes me want to abandon the internet completely.

plus it's a lot more dynamic.

I'm pouring over the MV, and while I very much like the new focus on fluff, I also found myself smiling at some of the really cool mechanical things that these beasties can pull off. The one highlighted in the Wizards podcast was the Displacer Beast's ability to phase out of time and space on...

I'm tingling at the prospect of doing the same thing with my two sons in a few years. (3 yr old and a 3 month old) I think that this is the greatest source of new players, and something that should be fostered whenever we can. Huzaah and kudos!

I go to the DDI website every day and I find something interesting. Today it was a simple editorial on Equilibrium. Some days it's a preview, other days it's a Class Acts article. I know they're low on adventure content, and a lot of their "series" articles like Monster Ecology and Unearthed...

Looks like I'll have to go in and examine each one for potential game breaking effects like this one.

Ok, so I am a HUGE fan of Rituals. I like to see them used more, and with greater flexibility. I also dig alchemy, even though I think 4e hasn't done enough with it. Rituals: Anyone who begins with or takes Ritual Caster as a feat may do the following: 1) Reduce PURCHASE OF RITUAL cost in...

Bulls**t. You're telling me that you can read all of the min/maxing information here and it doesn't, in any way, affect your play of the game? Even if you don't realize it, you are being affected. Besides, it's all fantasy. Not only that, but you come off as a condescending jerk. Unless...

I want to prefix this by saying that I'm fully aware that I choose to come to this website and read the forums and post on the messageboards, devouring every small amount of info. That being said, the multitudes of discussion here that breaks down races and classes, and their combinations...

Hey gang, Try this: When booting up the character builder or going from scratch, pick your race first. You'll need to empty your mind of any preconcieved notions concerning class mactchups, but trust me on this. It makes sense that you would pick race first. I mean, you were a dwarf long...
