I'm putting my vote in for a Silvermoon Mutants Masterminds game! We'll see how it all shakes out if I can actually play in it, but hope to.

Woot!! I'll run a Dread scenario in an afternoon slot if you got one left.

They got a great many things about what makes a session good or bad in there, such as selfish players ruin it for everyone, and the best sessions are when the stakes are high, everyone works together & is able to contribute meaningfully, and the victory, should it come, feels earned. Wow, long...

Abed was a solid DM. He was impartial and he kept things moving, even when Troy said he attacked the goblins using his additional notes.

Sounds like a great product! I've been looking for more urban fodder. A link to where we could buy the materials reviewed here would be great (unless there is one and I overlooked it). I'll go to RPGnow and track it down but if there was a link I'd be downloading it as I type. :)

I've been gaming for 25 years and 4e is letting me run the best campaign I've been a part of. 5e will have to trump 4e the way 4e trumped 3e for me to consider moving, and apart from the next edition providing free pizza and a babysitter, I'm not sure how that would happen. So that's my line...

I would subscribe to a null-time service, or similar construct which would allow me to game more than 1x a week. A place I could spend 3-4 hours gaming and when I exited, no time had passed in the real world. Something like the World Serpent Inn from the old 2e planes supplement, but connected...

I thought this was a great article, even if I'm not 100% sold on these races as PC's. I enjoyed the use of humor in explaining the viewpoints of these alien beings and how their unique outlooks can be adapted to play. I plan on using a wilden 'grove' as an NPC community in my campaign so this...

This happens at least once a session in my weekly 4e game: Dwarf fighter uses an encounter power, hit, rolls several dice, announces some absurd amount of damage, other players and DM sit silent for a moment, and then someone asks for his sheet to check the math. It's always right. Only the...

A little off topic but also worth a mention- the 6th level PC's are undoubtedly bad ass and capable of tremendous effectiveness, but there's one standard encounter I built during this upgrade I'm a little worried about wiping them out. Not super-worried, or I'd tweak it, but victory in this...

I used the encounter builder more or less to keep track of the XP budget for each encounter and to give me some ideas on replacement creatures. That's really all it's good for and I could have done the same thing with my DMG open to the correct page. The downloadable monster builder lets you...

I was fortunate to find a few uninterrupted hours to work on my 4e campaign, and it almost felt like I was in the 21st century. I am converting the free rpg day module Khyber's Harvest from a 2nd level adventure to 6th level. I took each encounter, examined at the monsters by role and assembled...

Thanks for the Wikipedia quote- my ape people are now called Solovar.

I'm reluctant to use hadrazee as this is for an Isle of Dread mod and I'm already using phanatons! 'That island where everything has huge skin flaps and can glide' is somewhat less ominous. :lol: I was going through my 3rd edition PDF's and found 'prehistorica' so I'll be using one of the...

Man, Terra Primate looks great! Not in my budget for this month but I'm bookmarking it. Thanks!

Thinking of adding a race of intelligent apes to the jungle setting in my campaign. As this would probably be an RP encounter rather than combat, I'm looking for some inspiration to round out the ape's customs, culture and type of settlement to deepen the encounter. It's 4e, but any older...

That's what she said.

Sorry if this is already posted somewhere, but it's a time-sensitive great deal! From Obsidian Portal: "We're a little behind in our fundraising efforts for the Child's Play Charity, so we're going all-in. For the final day of our fund drive, December 31, we're offering free Ascendant time...

Yeah, this is pretty much not at all what I was expecting from the tagline. I remember having a big to do in a 3.5 game when the paladin I was running didn't want to execute enemies who had surrendered/been captured, but I'm betting that offering to maim or cripple them wouldn't have been an...

Whoo hoo! XP! Thanks, Oldtimer! I've just dropped the CB loading screen into Chrome's bookmark bar and it works from there, so it is completely a pop-up issue, which is so strange as the window actually pops up and I've granted WoTC/Silverlight every permission on this PC I can find. The...
