Which is a nice change of pace, really. :D

Hey! You stole my cliche! :D In my "world after the fall of civilization" setting, I suppose the most unusual part I've introduced to it is I've been adding huge chunks of published settings to what is otherwise a homebrew setting, mainly because I find it entertaining to explore, for example...

I will admit I haven't used Gleemax regularly in a while (I did for a bit after the dev blogs switched from the COM boards to Gleemax), but was driven off primarily by the nightmare that is (or was) navigating the site. I followed the blogs religiously before they moved, but once they jumped...

I ran into this problem alot before I abandoned 3.x, the system just seems to attract this sort of mentality like flies on... you know. I've worked to passively discourage this since shifting away from 3.x (I play Iron Heroes currently, which at this point could be called something of a "3.6"...

These are Drow: a Lv 1 warrior mook could barely survive inside his own city, let alone outside it. I realize this is an aspect that 4E is apparently trying to weed out, but Drow are notorious slave-keepers, so its not unreasonable for a group of 3-4 Drow to have a group of...

It is a normal DnD class. The minis handbook covered the rules for minis combat, but it also covered how to introduce mass combat to a DnD campaign, as well as creating the Marshall, which was all about auras and augmenting its allies (and could be horribly broken in some cases, if not monitored...

Guess ITunes is the only place it works: I can't get it using the built-in player or DL it via the link.

As I recall (I don't have a link, but it was discussed on dndinsider.com not long after the 4E announcement) that Dungeon and Dragon would be bi-monthly until 4E came out, and would then switch back to monthly.

The thing that defines a PoL setting is exploration, how you arrive at this is entirely up to you. Could be a stone age setting built on the ruins of a fallen civilization, a dark age setting recovering from from an apocalyptic past, or even a high-power setting like FR where the dangers beyond...

https://accounts.gleemax.com/UserRegistration/MigrateForumUserForm.aspx When they brought the Gleemax Alpha site online (they abolished the horrid color scheme BTW, if you've been too terrified to look), they apparently changed how accounts worked, and thus old accounts need to be migrated in...

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb5/bmouse70/IMG_1531.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb5/bmouse70/IMG_1532.jpg I've seen the one linked elsewhere on ENW, but the other I haven't. Since they haven't been linked to (directly) on this thread, figured I'd toss 'em up.

Something to be kept in mind when you read the write-up about the dragon combat: its a rule of thumb even now in 3.x that solo monster encounters never play up to their CR, and from the sound of it they're designing most monsters in 4e to take that into account by making encounters more of a one...

I've actually been kicking this very question around for the past couple weeks, and having just finished the 7th book (very good, BTW), I'm left with the conclusion that a Harry Potter magic system would almost have to be far more free-form then most of the magic systems I have experience with...

I actually made this comment in the other setting thread: alot of the existing settings seem to be built independent of the rules governing them, for example Forgotten Realms. With the exception of some of the uber NPCs that run about Faerun, the world itself doesn't fit at all with the uber...

*Love* the Derro article! I always thought the little loons were under-utilized, and in alot of ways they fit the system that the Drow currently hold better then the Drow do, which is why I've considered for my current game doing a Drow-esque city, only with Derro instead.

Apologizes for this brief hijacking, but I was wondering if you've got these particular rules documented anyplace? I'd be interested in seeing some of the specifics.

I wasn't implying that there are huge kobold nations scattered about, but the idea of villages of kobolds, goblins and the like would seem like it'd be more common then under a more traditional setting, where their numbers serve as a much greater source of strength. Orcs on the other hand...

I think it might be worth considering that goblinoid races might have a pretty substantial place in this world. In a world where people cap out at Lv 6, the goblinoids relative lack of individual strength would be lessened, and their ability to multiply like rabbits would be magnified.

Something to consider: is magic in the state it is now because its always been that way, or because of some sort of calamity? Netheril comes to mind (from Forgotten Realms), where a group of haughty wizards ruin it for everyone by overdoing it and nearly destroying the world. Of course, it...

While I'd agree that Toughness is probably one of the worst feats in the game (the worst in all likelihood), I think E6 makes it more valuable, because the value of individual feat slots decreases (since you get so many), while the value of HP drastically increases (you get 6 HD, thats it)...
