    When status effects annoy the players

    This is a very valid point, though I know at higher levels in 3e the combats to us wen't just as long as 4e so figure if you are out in the first round or to... guess what you are making the food run!

    When status effects annoy the players

    It may not fix it, but it may make him realize there are a heck of a lot more boring things then conditions! I probably should have re wrote this when I had more time ;p that came out much harsher then what I wanted. But you do have to look at it this way, 4e to me has the least amount of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you consider 5th edition?

    The effect would obviously be there as the updates but yea I'd shell out for core books again but other then that. I'd really like some cleaning up of the system to get everything on a more similar page, without redoing how 85% of things work.

    When status effects annoy the players

    I'm sorry man but unless you use nothing but status effects, there's no Crying in D&D ;p But Seriously bad things happen to your characters, and they can build options in that allow them to help shrug these off. Now if your using nothing but status effects then will it falls into your ship a bit...

    Length and difficulty of combats

    by what you say I must be doing it wrong. I've always been a believer that if you draw a weapon, you should realize that you may die. In my homebrew games the world is not a happy place. I've found that unlike the design intent for 4e I like to have 1-2 combats a day for the most part, and I...

    D&D 4E 4e and PC/NPC balance

    Spreading it around and having the pcs attack each other is oh so much fun, especially with AOE at wills!

    Why must numbers go up?

    One thing I've always liked is open ended damage dice ;) That way even the lowliest of peons can get lucky.

    If you gaze into the Abyss . . .

    That is pure awesome! I usually don't play but man if I ever had a chance I'd kill to be in one of your games.

    Mystra, the weave and magic as we know it now

    Ok maybe I'm misremembering this but wasn't Cyric in Love with Midnight "Mystra". And she went for Kel? I quit following it a lot after that, but it seems to me unless Cyric went for the if I can't have her no one will, I'm not sure how likely it seems to me that he would kill Midnight.. or am I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you consider 5th edition?

    Sad to say I would be so Down for a 4.5e.. Though mainly because I really don't buy the books anymore, as all the crunch is in the DDI stuff, and I usually either run modules, or refluff everything for my home games.

    How to modify encounters to suit 7 characters?

    I think for WOTBS, depending on where you are in the module the best bet is to increase the number of creatures. You have 2 more players then what it plans for. That's an additional 40% of resources on the players side. I would think the simple solution would be to add 40% more monsters. More...

    Nerf Player Characters!

    I do both, and I have to say the prep time is more for my own stuff, but not by much. 4E has seriously helped prep time.

    The scouring of gate pass - short review

    That is a good solid review Black! I agree the skill challenges are the one thing that is kind of meh, in this module but to be fair skill challenges took me a long time to get dynamic myself.

    Experienced GMs - How do you divide your preparation time?

    Having ran and played much deadlands goodness over the years.. you don't need to stat anything but Major villans the rest can be pretty much hand waved. My biggest problem was never knowing which way my players would go in that setting..
