I have a feeling that by late next year, several old-classes will be revived using the new design guidelines. Not in the sense that older classes and class builds will be "Essentialized" so much as they'll be a tad bit outdated and require some tweaking. It's that or they'll be renamed despite...

I already have the DMGs and other stuff, I just started this thread to discuss the product lines value to DMs, especially since DMs don't really HAVE to buy supplements and can build adventures, campaigns and monsters off the Core, and appraising the supplements becomes more valuable...

I am now guiding all my future purchases based on these assessments. I've flipped through Underdark before, and I'm definitely going to set my late paragon tier game there, while using Vor Rukoth as a bridge between late heroic and early paragon. I'm currently using the Chaos Scar as the basis...

Actually, Vor Rukoth is my favorite DM product of this year. I really wanted to like Hammerfast, since the idea of 4th Edition having its own "This is not an adventure, but a wealth of material to build a place for adventures to happen," was very exciting. But I was tremendously disappointed...

I meant 'taking time' in reference to how long it took for him to pull of his turn, not necessarily his audience showboating. Which is why I called it 'petty,' because I recognize it's not really fair for me to be bothered or judge a person for how long it takes for him to resolve his turns...

Great topic and I've found that glaring as well. I kind of look at it differently, I think the WotC designers who write the adventures assume that newbie DMs are super-capable of retooling the adventures they've written. You get an inkling of that sensibility in the Dungeon Delve book, in...

Well said. Despite all the arguments and counterarguments that could be made on either side, this pretty much answers it.

OMg U r such a fanboi!!!111 You are totally teh gay for teh Crusher! LAWL

I am illuminated, and then subsequently confused.

Me and WotC, we have a lot of disagreements over how they do things and the shortcomings of various phases and directions that 4e design has undergone, but generally nothing has scared me. I love 4th Edition, and I understand that the differences in design between it and previous editions of...

There was a really awesome post in another thread about this, and I can't seem to find it. Basically, the poster was talking about how WotC would really benefit from taking advantage of their customers producing content for them by hosting their third party creations in the form of some social...

So in short, updates nerfed its abuse-ability, but it is now easier to understand?

Me too. To me, it's not even about "the corporation being evil". I just dislike the idea that I'm being given tools to make Character Building easier, but at any moment, whether the company collapses, gets bought by another company or the company decides to reshuffle its assets or withdraw...

I agree entirely. I have always disliked web-based applications like this new one, mostly because it operates on the principle that you have online access everywhere you game, but I understand that they needed to make a choice between convenient for all users and losing a certain amount of...

Okay, one of the few fighter builds I haven't tried is the Invigorating/Battlerager Vigor build. Can someone explain to me how the temporary hps work? Most of the time, I understand them: temp hp from the same source doesn't stack but temp hps from different sources do. So, how does that work...

I currently run three campaigns, but the timetables for sessions are different. (I'm not insane or unemployed) I have a semi-monthly canon-broken Eberron campaign that has been running for over a dozen sessions now and I'm about to pass the reins on to my girlfriend. In my 'core group' we swap...

This thread makes me feel like ENWorld is a warm and fuzzy place to be.

To be honest, I only found Wil Wheaton amusing for the first half of the series. Don't get me wrong, the session was hilarious, a good example to show people what playing D&D 'looks like' and all the players -- Wil included -- were an absolute hoot. But after awhile, Wheaton started to grate...

I too heartily endorse Slaying Stone. I like the fact that the adventure provides a lot of help to DMs who may be dealing with parties that don't approach an adventure premise in an orthodox and/or linear fashion.

Has anybody actually dealt with getting their PCs laid, particularly Warforged ones? :D Feedback on that would be useful.
