I'm working on building an encounter builder. It allows you to right-click a monster in the WOTC Monster Builder, copy as Rich Text, and then paste it into your library. Then you can pick monsters, add them to an encounter and get an idea of the difficulty level of it for level/party size in a...

based on that email chain, it sounds like your dm is a jerk. You were more than civil and he was an ass about things.

I like this thinking. Perhaps I won't have the npc cleric ride off into the sunset. He can just head back to the baron's castle, perhaps to be called on again. Meanwhile, Squire Bradley will step in and fill the leader role for now. I know you can have aleaderless party, but I have a feeling...

what happens after the first couple of adventurrs? Does the leader disappear?

I'm running a campaign right now set in a custom world inspired by a series of books by a popular fantasy author. We started at level 8, and the party just hit paragon at the last session. Our play group has seen some losses and additions during that time, but I'd bet the group we have now...

As an idea, too - I'm letting people trained in nature make 'weather forecast' checks. I print out a few days in advance, and let my players make 1 check per day to see if they can get an idea of what the weather will be like tomorrow. If they succeed, I give them a pretty accurate reading...

Update Made an update - it's in the first post. Day forecasts look like this now: (Arctic Winter Example) Date: 1/3/0756 High/Low: 16 / -5 Fahrenheit Morning: Clear early, precipitation start mid-morning - 20 MPH wind, gusts of 35 Afternoon: Morning weather continues into afternoon - 20 MPH...

I'll see what I can do. May have something later this weekend.

While putting together campaign details for a campaign I'm starting this week, I came up with system for generating random weather based on climate zone and season. Once I did that, I realized I could put it in an app, similar to the NPC Generator I put together and posted about a week ago. It...

Oh - don't get me wrong, I would never use this for random generation for my own PC. Rather, I'd use this when I would need to create a bunch of NPCs quickly for a town or village. I wrote this as I was prepping for a campaign I'm running starting this week. I wanted to have a bunch of NPCs...

Our group did a tour d' 4e. We played an adventure with level 6-7 characters. Then one with 13-14 characters. And then one with 19-21 characters. We each tried a different class each time, as well. It gave us an idea of what to expect throughout a character's life and by the end of this...

This is actually something I'm going to offer up as we go along as quest rewards from certain NPCs they come across. I got this idea when one of my players sent me his character's backstory about a love/hate relationship she had with her axe. She needs it, knows it's exceedingly effective, but...

Update II Realized how I could update the first post's attachment. This post is obsolete now.

Good feedback I'm glad I asked this question in the first place. There's been a lot of stuff offered up by you guys that I'll have to think over and consider. Some of it I'll take more to heart than other parts, but I'm glad I asked the question. I find myself questioning the item purchasing...

Don't get me wrong - I'm going to try to give them items they want (found in treasure parcels). I'm not going to make them search over the entire world for a single item. This is just designed implement the "you can't find everything everywhere" suggestion in the PHB with a little more...

Actually, I like that idea a lot. I'll have to think about adding that in.
