    D&D 4E 4ereviews opens with review of new DDM Starter Set

    I recently found him. :) He'd been hiding in work and video games. Morrus, I hope all is well across the Atlantic? (isn't it early over there?)

    D&D 4E 4ereviews opens with review of new DDM Starter Set

    Oh thanks. Fixed it to read, "You get 5 exclusive (not available in booster packs or other sets), non-random (they do not vary among starter sets) miniatures: Elf Warlock, Human Sellsword, Dwarf Battlemaster, Yuan-Ti Swiftscale, and Young Green Dragon."

    MMO grinding and D&D Insider

    I haven't followed all the DDI and Gleemax news/info. What they could do is give some kind of tangible benefit for community activism. If there is character sharing with DDI maybe there could be rewards for characters most used by users other than the creator? Otherwise, I just don't see a...

    D&D 4E Is my friend's unwillingness to try 4e irrational?

    Heh, it's cool that we can all discuss this topic in this fashion :) The key difference between the girlfriend "upgrade" and the game system "upgrade" is that if you switch around, the girlfriend is gonna be hurt, but your game books will not. I can see the GIAG argument and I agree that...

    D&D 4E Is my friend's unwillingness to try 4e irrational?

    bah, I tire of the anti-corporate argument. If it costs a player $35 to get MUCH more enjoyment out of the 100-200 hours they spend RPG gaming each year, then what does that say for spending $2 on an energy drink or $5 on a beer? $35 sounds like a good investment for me. As far as buying all...

    D&D 4E Is my friend's unwillingness to try 4e irrational?

    WolfSpider, I'll give you the skydiving exemption. 4e and skydiving. They are both taking a plunge, but I think the similarities end there, but since you're clever I bet you can think of more :) As far as converting, I just don't see the resistance there. Let's presume that 4e will be MUCH...

    D&D 4E Is my friend's unwillingness to try 4e irrational?

    Unwillingness to simply try something new is irrational to me. The rational thing for me as a person is to experience new things and grow as a person. Anyways, I just preemptively started a streamlined rules game and it has flushed out a player who MUST be able to customize their character...

    D&D 4E My pre-4e bard spell list

    Breaking this into a separate thread... My primary thread is about how I am working on running a streamlined d20 game before 4e comes out: Trying to run 4e before its release? The reasoning behind my spell lists is to go with the idea that the various casters should have access to spell lists...

    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    No! I will not be tempted into the WoW dark side! :) mshea, cool thanks for the run-down. I'm doing some of what you're doing, but not all of it. It appears that there are some bits I need to add. I'm going to the extreme of average damage for all attacks. I totally agree that turning...

    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    Oh thanks Jack, I did not know that. I stand corrected. Still, being charmed and completely taken out of combat sucks if you are a player at the table and combats can take a half hour...

    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    If a player in my campaign (with the stream-lined rules) wanted to play a druid, here's what I would do... reduce the spells on the spell list to 12 per level, max. For a 6th level druid, I do something like: allow 5 1st-levels per encounter and you would have to narrow your choices down to 4...
