I'm about to make a purchase of some Alea Tools Magnetic Markers for use in my 4e game. Before I place the order, I'm just curious what other DM's use and how many they suggest? Obviously Reds are good for bloodied, and I probably should have 10 or so. But what about other colors? I know...

That's a lot of space for new crunch. :-)

Gotta be that. Just think how much space no classes opens up in the Dark Sun Players Guide?

Another thing to remember is that there is a difference in encounter philosophy between 3e and 4e. In 3e and earlier editions, the point was to drain the PC's of resources over a series of encounters and eventually they'd run out (usually healing). In 4e, each encounter potentially could...

FYI, I DM a 4e game and have been since it came out. As for damage output, the thing you have to realize is that the roles, while some don't like them, do actually mean something in generalizing what they do. Your Warlord is a member of the Leader role. Often the classes have a secondary...

Well sometimes some affirmation is good too. Actually I have seriously been giving Revenge of the Giants some though. Firstly because practically (if not all) my players are grognards and many of us have gone through G1-3. Also, it occurs to me that the little plot twist in RotG involving...

Why do I get the feeling like something else is speaking through the familiar? Like Shojo?

I don't have RotG, but just looking at the excerpts, I'm not sure how well it'll fit, although Stormreach I would think would be the 'city' in jeopardy.

It's certainly not quite as obvious as Dark Sun was this year. The only questionmark was the fact it was Dragonlance's 25th anniversary. Planescape doesn't seem to be likely, since it seems to be actually being absorbed into the generic POL campaign. Similarly with Spelljammer, although...

I'm not sure I said that, but what I did say was that CB doesn't give all the needed details on a feat. I think the text is whatever the summary text is in the table...not what's actually listed in the details.

It'd be tough I think. I'd want to see as much detail on each Mystara country as say, each nation in Eberron. It's about the same number, give or take...but then you add on Sind/Red Steel and the Hollow World? You'd either water it down or leave something out. But I'd think that Hollow...

Because the powers that be at WotC (well, Chris Perkins anyways) have stated such.

Here's the scoop. I'm running an Eberron campaign for the past year which has seen the party get to 14th level now. I'm not really sure what the best path to take is now. Here are some features of the campaign: 1. The campaign features aquiring the Rod of 7 Parts for some greater purpose...

I agree, but mainly for nostalgic purposes. I still have all my Gazateers from when I was growing up. However, the problem that Mystara has is a hook that makes it truly unique from the other campaign settings. Dark Sun has hooks aplenty, Eberron does too. Forgotten Realms has become the...

Does it come across as having a personality or is it just a dumb artifact?

So does each piece have it's own power? Does the Rod have a personality that develops as it's put together or does it not have one at all?

Yes, but unless you have a color printer (I don't), you can't print them out to their best purpose.

You forget the art too. That's a pretty big deal for me for the Monster Manuals.

It depends. For instance, AV1 I don't think it's necessarily worth getting more than one in the group, if any at all if you've got DDI. In fact, with Monster Builder and the Compendium I did all my prep work at the computer recently, not touching any of the books. Plus with Character Builder...

Can you give some info on the Rod of 7 Parts?
