Yeah, she is the defacto group healer, in our first 4e game she played a bard, and she's currently a semi-pacifist cleric. She's getting better about contributing but she's really not there for the game as much as the social interaction. :)

I will second the suggestion for HBA. It's what I plan to use for a paragon tier Warhammer style military campaign.

So what would you do using this system with the social player that has no real desire to go beyond "I shoot with my bow?" Now granted for this player in my group, 4e has made them step up and do that much, in our previous GURPS games they played a pacifist that just sat out during combat. At...

Interesting! Could you provide a short example? Not sure I quite understand what you mean in #7.

Deliverance? I expected Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny! ;)

Can you give a bit more detail how these mini-games work?

Perhaps a bonus to initiative, if you roll two you might as well just let them play two characters that are built to work together, IMO. I agree about the AP per encounter. About powers, read a bit more closely:

I enjoy steampunk, but I agree with Insight that it needs to be carefully thought out in what it changes. One of the most well known steampunk settings is Iron Kingdoms, and they IMO are a bad example, due to the overabundance of firearms, specifically machine guns and cannon that would...

Someone beat you to it: http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/252913-d-d-4th-edition-gestalt-elite-heroes.html and yes, it's quite workable with a small party.

Guess I'm going to be the weird one, I really like the Wilden but the Shardminds get a big 'meh' from me. I must say I really strongly dislike the artwork for the Wilden in PHB3, but fluffwise as I see it, they are adventuring nymphs or Kami. They have enough options to cover beings like...

I was all prepped to run it, but we got six inches of snow, it's still spring break and the KU game was on, so the store was barren. Ah well. :yawn:

Very nice, these will come in handy, especially with my newer players that have a hard time tracking these. Any chance of an "ongoing damage" card? Not that it's totally necessary, right now those get handed out on sticky notes. ;)

I had been working on a conversion until I decided to run War of the Burning Sky instead. I did manage to update the members of the Horde (Appendix 1) to 4e, if it's any help. I'll post it if you want it.

There is an interesting idea on dealing with overland travel over at Penny Arcade Penny Arcade - A Review Of The Preview

I personally would say yes, they fixed a lot of the complaints about monsters in MM1, there is less chance of "grind" vs the MM2 monsters. Problems like underpowered and over HP'ed solos are fixed. Plus they include lots more low level monsters (giant ants, bullywugs, kenku) so you aren't...

As I'm planning on running this myself I really enjoy your write ups and comments here. Thanks! :)

IIRC, that's how companion characters are handled. I would just add high crit or something similar to all weapons/implements or else just give it to the characters as Jester mentioned a "badass" bonus. Or come up with something else cool for when they roll a crit.

I'm guessing from the question that you have DMed another game before? Honestly 4e is a joy for me to DM after having run several other systems, it's really built around ease of designing. New monsters, encounters, spells/powers, etc can all be done with far, far less work than it could in...

When cars first came out they were sold as kits, some still are. And they required extensive tinkering. Its all a matter of how long a product has been on the market and if the demand for reliability is there. Outside of modern cars for example, most commonplace items that break are thrown...
