Thanks for the scans, I love having them. I've always kept my minis cards for the DDRP info, it helps speed things up at the table. Since I have banned myself from wasting more money on miniatures, I'm probably going to make a deck of my own based on the ones I have since it doesnt look like...

I believe it probably does. It looks to me like all their prereleases are kind of lean on the details and I look for more long-winded descriptions in the book. But for me, if you stab a harpoon in a guy and then go walking off, trailing its tether, he is bound to follow you. Likewise, if you...

Sure thing That little file has kinda become our playtest bible since we've already played through the only two homebrew adventures I've been able to find. Its cool though; I've never used written adventures in our home campaigns so I'm pretty good at winging it.

Ditto that I'm going to toss in what will work against the pregens and see how they do.

I figured this to be true, too many dice die-harders out there :)

There's one or more psionic creature in the conversions of the DDM miniature cards at DDI..dunno the link, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

I know you cant really tell much from the DDM side, but looks to me like Wulfgar might be a leader...dunno, bah its late

Surgoshan Vast improvement on what I had...</GLOMP> I'm all over it Fiendish Dire Weasel This is straight out of that compilation that's been floating around the last few days, love it!

I also like the build your own encounter system wherein you can make streamlined additions of traps, terrains, skill tests and possibly social (maybe) encounters to round your fight into a bit more than we've ever been able to do before. I've got a ton of ideas for strange combinations and...

Picador has been pretty well summed up I guess, cool monster that I'm going to use for tomorrow nights run through Second Son. (I've got a plan!!!!) Guess we'll have to find another thing to discuss now, I'm sure I can find something.

I like that monsters are not made like PCs anymore. I like that magic items are cool, but not necessary. I like not feeling useless in a fight due to class selection. I love getting the chance to do more in every fight (quicker rounds).

Ok, I see a lot of negative faces out there, and I get it. CHANGE IS COMING!!!! But I mean everyone must be interested in some part of what's going on or they wouldn't be bothering with it (I hope). So that brings me to the purpose of this thread. What, in your opinion, is GOOD about the new...

Yeah, from what I've learned, none of the numbers have to add up anymore. There is a core mechanic at work, I believe, but it is supposed to be bent as needed. If he ain't tough enough, add hit points. Not fast enough, increase his speed. etc etc cool and freeform, but hell on the minds of...

One thing I like (just a little off-topic) is that the DDM side of the cards are actually pretty usable in a standard D&D game now. We've always used our miniatures cards, but I doubt they will be revamping the D&D side of those cards now. So I suppose I can actually build me a deck of...

See I agree with you here that the harpoon is not a universal weapon, but would have to be saved for useful situations. But my 3E fighter likewise carried a net in his haversack for those times when the -4 nonproficient penalty was worth it. I see the use of situational items, and that it...

Dang Surgoshan, you posted all that good stuff while I was slowly typing mine.... Woulda been nice to've caught it before, and had time to toss in some kindness. I love the deathroom and will likely use it. Damn AND drat!

All's quiet in here, guess traps don't stack up to hit points or the current hot gripe. Now I dig this thread because I love the thought of what they are doing with traps. That said, let me get on topic. I've only ever made one trap in my career as a DM (15 or so years), and I liked it so...

I dig this, anything is doable if a sacrifice of time and effort are made. Barring what could be seen as supernatural or spell-like, damn near every monster feature is a feat, a power slot, or both away. It just takes forethought from the DM, and willingness to go along from the player who...

Not a total failure :) Wow, some actual talk about the picador in my absence...WOOTDANG!!! I love that stuff earlier, page 4 I think, about using him (or her) to keep the rangers in check...cool tactic that I'm definitely into. OFF TOPIC: 30 suits of full plate, while hard as hell to get...

Yeah. Bottom line, what does it hurt really. Make it a power they have to select once they are proficient (if it isnt already in the PH, which I haven't given up on). As for adjudicating the things that can be done, we just have to turn to common sense. I'd keep it at same or smaller...
