Cool. Eager to see a Mac version (as I am with everything that comes out).

With my all-time favorite character, Markus. What started as a generic fighter rolled out of boredom and indecision because one of the best roleplaying experiences I ever had. The party was short in fighters (lots of spellcasters) and had been on a couple of quests before I came on board. So I...

Ahh, memories. Our very first d20 product was Campaign Options: Mazes and it was an incredibly interesting learning experience to write a near 100-page book on maze adventures and campaigns. If there was one particular trick (and it works for even regular dungeons, though I've only tried it...

We have another idea from CA6 called reputation feats that work very much along this very principle. Hmm, what if we re-worked reputation feats for mercs and offered them up to replace XP awards. They can be handed out for specific actions or those related to using brutality, signature kills...

hehe, thanks for the link, Cap. Honestly, it hasn't been a problem in my playtest group and they even flaunt it. Every session ends with an "XP measuring contest" as they whip out their character sheets and see who's got the most (the biggest discrepancy was 70 XP). Most encounters have each...

Each idea presented were designed as optional house rules for the GM to pick and choose as best suits their campaign. If they were all connected with badges, that would be the GM's call but there were intended to be separate. Bite the Hand: I chose 10% to quest XP because though players are...

Here here! Especially when all the pieces inside are nothing more than glorified hookers in bikinis. That's a rather specific type of artwork most of us aren't looking to use in "serious" products.

Hmm, uhhh, grrr... yeah. Well, in most cases, depending on how long you've been playing with them, they can be pretty understanding about it. I kidnapped one player but he was willing to go along with it and trusted me not to screw him over. But this can't always happen. What if the PCs were...

Way ahead of you. One of the first things we've tackled (and by we, I mean Tim Rose) are alternate skill uses providing those with training in skills such as Stealth to boost others who aren't even close to being trained. So a rogue could silence your armor (at the cost of an AC penalty) or lead...

Thanks! But we're working on a little more than that. "Break & Enter" is an upcoming project we're working on where you can have an entire encounter built around the idea of sneaking up on the guards and slitting their throats. It's still in the design phase at the moment, but playtesting is...

The ranger is our group is notoriously unlucky. He plays up his actions like no one else and has great ideas for what he wants his character to do, but it all blows up in his face when he constantly rolls a 2 or 3. Even when he uses Elven Accuracy. We all feel so bad for him that we all pitched...

Both the standard and EPIC editions are on sale now!! Risen - Standard Edition Risen - EPIC Edition While the standard edition is a single-layered PDF, the EPIC edition is an adaptable, layered tool with printable options and bonus content. Simply click on the Gem of True Seeing layer of your...

I've bought much less than the early 3.0 days for the sole reason that I just don't feel like spending $40 on every hardcover book that hits the market. And since every RPG book nowadays is hardcover, it seems a bit much to spend for something which will only give me a couple of feats or a...

Legends Never Die. The battlefields of the multiverse yield more than fallen orcs, necromancers, and demons; uncounted heroes have taken to their graves in the quest for adventure, a reminder of the consequences of bravery. Rather than slip into the Void of death, powers exist in your campaign...

I'd even go so far as to disagree with the "lack of roleplaying in 4E" theory completely. While the new system emulates computer RPGs (and even they encourage some roleplaying - there's an "in character" server in WoW that I played in exclusively), only dice-affecting options are presented but...

Mmmmmmm, blue icing cupcake. Congrats, Daniel.

What you're talking about would fall under their new fan policy (which I have not read). We produce free 4E stuff through our Combat Advantage e-zine but also sell 4E products as well. It really depends on what you're planning to do with it and it's worth the quick search on WotC's site.

Something about "not being held back," I wager. Especially when you have a frustrating job or you're a creative person and your boss wants you to be a drone. I mean, you've got the talent and everyone just keeps holding you back. They're afraid of you and you know it. (ahem) Sorry about that...

It's actually easier for PCs to work together in 4E than previous editions because so many powers grant benefits to allies. And combat encounters mean you can try and go on your own, but odds are you'll need some help along the way (second winds don't cut it on their own sometimes). We're in...

I guess it depends on just how much detail you want to put into this and what, if any, cool bonuses you want to give him. - he has to use a minor action each round to maintain his focus of else suffers a -2 penalty to speed until the start of his next turn - has an aura of blindsense around him...
