I think it is good that we have veteran leadership at the helm of D&D at a time of great change. When I first heard the news about 4th, I was very apprehensive. If they just evolved the game like what happened between 1E & 2E, and 3e & 3.5e, then it would not be worth it. Having kept up on...

I think you are dead-on with that point.

Agreed. Don't know where he is coming from.

Huh? I think your post is in error. No one has actually played a Gnome.

Awesome previews. I can see making a 'wormling' Balhannoth of about 4-5 level to challenge a low level party. Awesome, awesome!! That could be an encounter to remember. I have always liked putting demons into my campaign, and now they seem complete: Easy to run, fun, and challenging!!

That is best. Some secrets are best left secret. Unless they involve sex, drugs or/and rock.

Started with Modlvay and 1e, some 2e and rules encyclopedia, then 3.5e after it came out. I am switching to 4th because of the monster and DM'ing prep time. Plus they are apparently K.I.S.S.ing the new rules (keep it simple stupid). I like their design goals, their distillation of the generic...

Blah Blah Blah. That is an opinion. The new rules add tension, hope, uncertainty, and dice rolls into a moment. All things which gamers love. And it keeps it simple.

First thing we are going to do is roll-up my players Epic level characters as 4e incarnations. We stopped a 3 year + campaign because playing and DM'ing a campaign that was in the epic levels was about as fun as blowing your brains out. We are going to give it whirl at the epic levels. I had...

I like the idea. You can tailor a monster to fit your vision of the part it is supposed to play in your story line. Who cares if other monsters do not have it!! It also keeps the characters guessing and on their feet. This is a welcomed change from the rigidity of the 3.x mosters...

This is a good clean rule. We have been playing with -con for ever, this extends it a bit, but add's a high level of uncertainty to it too. Your character can go negative a lot more hit points, but once he/she he reaches 0 or below, he/she is unconcious and dying, having to make a roll every...

If you do not like the extra healing, get rid of it. Make a 'grittier' 4e. I will play 4e as-is for a while, and then decide on personal changes. I do not like the idea of second wind. I didn't like it in Star Wars, I do not like it in 4e. I will play it, however, and then form a basis in...

I agree with what the one poster said. Anyone want to buy a boat?

Does a silver dragon in alternate form or Doppleganger that is changed have an aura that can be seen with detect magic? I would rule no, because it is a supernatural ability. The magic aura of transformation fades after the change in form. Does detect magic allow invisible creatures to be...

What a brilliant idea!! They could fuse that with their online system, put cards out for classes, items, monsters, etc. You can't play them until you actually get the card and activate it online! They wouldn't need to put out the PHB, DMG, or MM. Just come out with 'collectible' cards...

Last year they tried thanking me with a car bomb. This year it was uranium poisoning.

In real life, just where you burn it.

I have had this module since 1982. Never played through it or ran it until last year. I always wanted to. I have read this module more times than I can count. Always with nostalgia. In the last year and half I have went through and found all the modules I loved and read but never DM'ed or...

I would rule that you cannot take 20 on searching for anything. The act of taking 20 implies failures. Failures, with search checks, have a negative consequence. Failure on a search check means that character fails to notice/find something, which is detrimental. If it is not finding the...

Nothing in the Rules compendium.
