someone is crafting something for them that will take 1 week to complete (or some other time amount that isn't so short it's inconsequential, but isn't too long that the PCs would just totally leave the area and come back later) one (or all) of the PCs is invited to an event (perhaps an event...

Happy Birthday!

what if instead of a -20 to penalty, if you're surprised you have disadvantage (to represent not being quite ready). ?

maybe if you're trained you get to roll twice and use the better (much like the advantage mechanic) - thus keeping away from modifiers? (maybe in addition to the minor modifier that was in the playtest, or not, would have to fiddle with numbers to see how much of a change all that really brings)...

"You look like a good teammate, come adventure with us" (i.e. accepting the new PC because he/she is a PC for the sake of speed and/or simplicity) -- note in the Gamers 2 they made a similar joke. Now that I think about it, there are variations on some of these lines in the Gamers and Gamers...

i have always thought the d&d site was unfriendly, especially for newbies. and anyone i try and introduce the hobby to always needs to me to explain things even after they try and visit the website. i can only imagine what someone who doesn't have someone to explain it has to do to try and...

To understand if it is fixed for you, you'd have to figure out what you think was broken about it in the first place? In my opinion, 4e is as fixed as 3e as ad&d as any edition really... they all just have different things about them that might still need tweaking, but then that's all just...

i share this opinion.

8) What could go wrong?

3. Clearly this shouldn't be our problem.

i like calaystryx. i put her against a group of level 13 pcs and it was a memorable fight! the pcs did not survive... but we all had fun. :) (she thought herself to be a god, and was drinking hydra blood which gave her the extra heads, and she (among other things) had her minions steal...

there are some ideas for encounters that involve objectives other than depleting hitpoints can be found here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/241614-creative-combat-objectives-other-than-kill-em-all.html

On my home computer, i use 1280 x 1024. I see the featured box plus about two -lines- of the news below that. Having said that, it was only today (since you made the front page changes) before i realized that the top box was "featured headline" rather than the first new news items, and that...

(abed voice) cool cool (/abed voice) I wonder if we'll get to see Annie's Boobs? Not that I expect to see Annie's Boobs in the video game, but, well, it would be a fun easter egg. (disclaimer: Annie's Boobs is the name of the klepto monkey that lives in the vent system at the school)

The Order of the Stick and the Linear Guild called a truce in order to playtest D&D Next together*. It is quite the kodak moment (tm) but as soon as the dice stop rolling,t hey will get back to zappity-zap and stabby-stabby. *This fact, like all facts on the internet, may or may not be true -...

in a way this is already done by giving "utility spells" the OPTION of being rituals. Therefore you don't need to use your spellslots to memorize any given "utility spell" unless you want to, because you can always cast it as a ritual by virtue of knowing it (at added time and expense in the...

if you're a PC, it's called fudging, if you're a DM, it's called DMing.

That sounds dirty. ;)

DDI, or lack thereof, has NO bearing on if *I* play 4e -- never subscribed to it and yet still play (and DM) 4e just fine. Having said that, others in my group are DDI dependent so I don't know if I'd have much of a group able to play if DDI wasn't an option.

While I might agree with the general thought of your point (or at least accept it that it is as how you feel even if it's not how i feel), I'm not sure I agree with your specific example. If someone is taking 10 minutes to attack a door, surely the people on the other side or elsewhere in the...
