Yeah that one was terrible. But as another user suggested, the ubiquity of GOOD turn-based strategy squad control games doesn't mean that the concept is an inherently bad one. I mean, I'm thinking Jagged Alliance. With swords and spells. And mark-punishment interrupts.

Spell Prague must be the most awesome place in all of Eastern Europe. If you *dis*believe in magic hard enough, does that eliminate the Spellplague?

I would play a squad-based tactical RPG (a la Final Fantasy Tactics or X-COM: Enemy Unknown) version of 4th Edition. Hell, it could have 'comparably' crude graphics to be played on a handheld console like a Nintendo DS and I would still play it. It would cost less and not need to sell like...

As an ardent fan of 4th Edition, and one who has been running it since 2009 and hasn't stopped yet... I actually wouldn't mind if WotC became Fantasy Flight Games. I didn't really love love the Shadowfell box, but getting groups and DMs started with pre-built encounters, monster tokens that are...

Yes. I've run it at a high-pressure public setting (i.e. POLYHEDRAL, the bar crowd DnD event I run and organize semi-frequently in Manila) and I've played in about three sessions with three different characters. I'm fairly familiar with the game already. I understand that. I already know that...

Actually, I want to use the sheet for offline use for our players so they can use it to generate their characters on the spot. Simply because Girlfriend DM insists we generate characters at the table rather than ahead of time. As such, I'd either use printed material to help build the sheet...

I love that sheet! Unfortunately, I won't have access to the Internet at the venue. Will this sheet work if I save it for use at an offline area?

So, my girlfriend and I are starting a Gamma World game with some friends who are (forgivably) terrible with the math and rules of D&D4E. I'm looking to idiot proof the game by using character sheets I've designed to aid the math part of their skills, etc. So, does anybody know where I can find...

Exactly. My first times playing D&D4E, let alone any system other than Star Wars: SAGA Edition, I played defenders exclusively. Why? Because they are the classes that have a moderate probability of allowing you to do something while waiting for your turn to come up. For those who hate "Turn...

Somewhere else on the forums, someone made an observation that really struck me as insightful. He/She said something to the effect of: Leaders confer opportunities to the other heroes. Controllers deny the enemies of opportunity. My understanding of that is that leaders incentivize actions...

I read the update, but I don't have my PHB, Arcane Power and Dark Sun books -- and am therefore a bit behind with what the Warlock does now -- with me right now. What got changed other than the 'standardization' of striker bonus damage into a per turn gimme rather than a per round gimme? This...

Did you rub his sexy bald head? I would.

This is a sound observation. The people who make decisions about what to release and what not to release don't just behave randomly (even if it seems like that from outside sometimes). As DEFCON notes they HAVE to run the numbers for them to have make the kind of decisions they recently made...

I'm thinking a Fey Artificer. And not just because the Artificer doesn't get love. Heck the Artificer probably needs a mathematical overhaul because one of their class features (augment energy) is kind of underpowered, IMHO and impart energy is kind of obsolete now ever since they dropped the...

Well I'm Asian, so it must be OKAY! Also, I think black power and Asian power are legitimate political movements, so they totally make valid power sources.

I'm waiting for Heroes of the Exotic Orient and Heroes of the Nubian Realms, which will allow players to tap into the Asian and Negro power sources.

Same here. I liked the original vision, which was that races that could have been scary, esp. if they were designed according to 2e/3e lines (Thri-Kreen, Dragonborn) instead got nerfed, so that if you wanted to expand a defining aspect of that race (multiple limbs, breath weapons) you used...

Does anyone know if there're any range limitations for shaped consciousness? The RAW from the Charbuilder is as follows: You conjure a fragment of your consciousness in an unoccupied square in the burst. The fragment lasts until the end of the encounter or until you dismiss it as a minor...

I know of podcasts devoted to the Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance. Podcasts devoted to D&D 4th Edition and older editions. But I don't know of any that are currently centered around Eberron. So I ask you, Lazywebs, where are them Eberron podcasts?
