Gamma World is the best gateway drug for getting into rpg's and 4E in general.

Axe & Hammer He has released the map of the storage rooms. Also the encounter key. So now the most important part of Castle Zagyg is out....

The monsters are improved a lot. They still need slight tweaking, but not as much as the MM1

I love this idea and have been playing around with doing something like this. Gamma World plays loose and fast, which is the way I like my D&D. So for I have gone back to older editions like Moldvay/Cook/Marsh Basic D&D in the form of Labyrinth Lord for the 'fast and loose' D&D experience.

I divide most monster HP by 4 and make them the XP equivalent of minions. I also up the damage of monsters considerably. Most combats I play grid less. Any push, pull, shift or slide is a bonus to hit or damage to the person making it happen, there choice. They can save them and use them all...

No you gain +2 bonus from page 34 to your primary origin. Also on pg.34, you gain ALL traits from both origins. Thus +4.

Essentials sucked me back in, kinda. I bought all essentials stuff available right now and will buy all that comes out. But I am not going to switch from Moldvay/Cook/Marsh/LL D&D. I have a lot of love for that right now. What I was thinking about doing though was running D&D encounters on...

Rules: 1. When at all possible, practice the buddy system. That way it's two people doing something stupid together when your smashed. 2. If she looks good now, your going to regret it in the morning. Step away. 3. It is never a good idea to get naked and run. 4. Most sober people CAN...

I think this could be the beginning of the 4th renaissance for D&D, the first in the late 70's, the second in the early 90's, the third in the early 00's, and the fourth starting late 00. I hope that the world is starting to crave some other disconnect than video games. RPG's, boardgames, and...

4th edition is an evolutionary game now with the compendium. They can tweak as they go along. The 4th edition in 2008 is going to be mostly different from the 4th edition in 2012, but where did it change? Very small increments along the way. It will all play nicely with each other, however...

Yeah, but it appears he is getting out of fantasy. That deal is to help promote their new Starcraft. I think he will fail at SciFi. Think Micheal Jordan baseball. Urg.

I DM in a college town. During school, I have a minimum of 9 players to a maximum of 18 on any given game night. We meet every Friday in the basement of my home around a converted ping pong table with chairs scabbed from the hospital to the college. During the summer break I typically have 8...

I always up the dosage on damage at all tiers. I want combat to be fast and deadly. It works for our group. I have found the guidelines in the DMG are fine for making most monsters effective. I have instituted a 'Unique Damage Expression' that is double the 'Limited Damage Expression'.

Awesome S~%$!!

The google is all mighty.

I have house-ruled elites and solos. All elites and solos get to save against any effect (even the 'last until the end of your next turns') at the end of their turn. Also, elites get two complete actions per round (and corresponding saves at the end of each), and solos get three. I give them...

WOTC has never been good at software. Adventure tools is dead. We are lucky to have the tools we do.

If you want d&d lite, look at an older edition. Labyrinth Lord captures the 1981 D&D very well. It's free, it's easy, and it's fast. My 2 cents.

It was great! I DM'd it in college. One of the best of the age.

I am currently running Whiterock. Based on the character classes and races, the players and I sketched out a very brief background for each character. In running a campaign, I like giving every character a mini quest or goal of why their character is out and about and what brought them to...
