I like to think of it this way: I'm Fighting monster1. We feint we parry but we don't have weapons locked the whole time. If during one of those rests between clashes somebody else walks past me I might as well take the attack.

Perhaps, if the aspects of the Princes aren't in the MM3, WotC will release the aspects in dragon articles.

To add to your statement. While the story and the PCs are important at no time should a player feel so confident in their role in the story that they will take unnecessary risks because they believe they won't die. Be ready and willing to let PCs die and be able to still continue the story or...

D&D minis always seemed like a moderate way to get a bunch of different minis fast. They were painted light, and could sub in for many things. I never really liked them for PCs but if I want a PC I'll spend a few dollars more to buy a specific figure from Reaper, Dark Sword, Weird, etc... and...

Also bane while similar to the Bane of FR, is also very different from that Bane. I think they just re-appropriated the name. At least I recall something like that being said by a dev when 4E was just being teased.

Not 4E but interesting A lot of detail can e found in these posts dissecting the text of "WG4 The Forgotten Temple of Tharizud" the first module to deal with Tharizdun and his cult. Lord of the Green Dragons: Cold Text File WG4 - Part 1 Lord of the Green Dragons: Cold Text File WG4 - Part 2...

I want to be excited but entry fee is high I want to be excited for Space Hulk, given the game play and the way people remember it so fondly. Unfortunately the entry price seems rather steep for a game that comes with figures that are already practically mass produced by GW and look like they...

Thanks for posting this. It is a good tutorial for starting out.

Piratecat I'd be interested in attending as well.

My ID magic Items DM makes an Aracana Check at 10+2 per level of the item for the PCs while resting. If the check is successful the PCs know the item. if it fails they don't. If the item is cursed (added to the game by me) then the DC increases by 5. A failed check reveals what the item would...

ideas for running Large Scale encounters There are two ways I've seen this mass combat work well. 1 is to not play D&D the for the large combat and use some other mass battle game that everyone can take part in. 2 places the PCs in strategically important locations and you script the battle...

KotS is a good first start mod Keep is a good first start mod. Just remember that the first major battle with an elite opponent can be really rough and has resulted in several TPKs. For your idea of letting people try different classes and roles, that might be really tough even for an...

Greed Traps: My take on a temple of greed would be knowing when something is too good to be true and when to take the money and run. A trap might include two paths. One clear and cleanly swept. The lined with gold coins and small piles of wealth. The clear path is to fool the uninitiated and...

I believe it was indicated that bursts and blasts they should fill the space (if there isn't space for them they don't expand). Filling a space indicates it takes up three dimensions.

I like the idea but I think the multiplier for level is a little extreme (PCs might quickly be knocking bad guys through dungeon walls even before they hit paragon). I'd remove the multiplier. Actually the more I think about it I'm inclined to say for every one square of movement spent...

Mechanics aside, big magic that is obvious you can detect as being magical pretty quickly but the nuances of what that magic can do and how deeply it permeats the item are the tricky points. Also if somebody or something is extremely powerful (magically speaking) and they are trying to hide...

I like some of these but in some ways I feel that saying one person needs to be good at Nav, another Sailing, another Carpentry etc... is limiting in an entirely different way. Eitehr way a skill challenge is a very good way to describe a naval conflict without breaking everything down into an...

That does initially sound really gross. But (and this is a big but) the ranger is a striker and therefore should have the potential for massive damage output.

I thought similarly around the time of DDXP. Here were my gleemax musing on the topic before I became so frustrated with Gleemax I couldn't use it anymore. http://www.gleemax.com/comms/Pages/Communities/DisplayProfile.aspx?blogid=3734&userid=12212
