    A new spin on rituals

    My experience does in no way matches yours, at least not since we switched to Essentials. Controllers get pounded quiet a lot and run out of surges just as fast as the rogue. Not a bad idea. Maybe it should be milestone or use an action point. We don't use Comrades' Succor. Both my players...

    Damn good book. My only beef with the book is that I find some of the possible antagonists a tad weak. I do prefer my main villains to be able to stand up a bit more than regular monsters of the same level. In short, I think more of them should have been elite. But its a very easy fix.

    Yeah, works fine here since the day it was released (more or less)

    A new spin on rituals

    Healing surges was the first thing I considered... and rejected. In my experience of DM'ing 4e, healing surges is the one factor that determines the length of the adventuring day. My players rutinely take on a handful of encounters with nothing but at-wills and encounter-powers, but when the...

    Purple Index Cards: On-the-Fly Setting and Plot Collaboration

    This is pretty cool. I definitely need to try it out at the table.

    A new spin on rituals

    john112364 thanks for the link to that other link. I have been away from the boards for a while, and totally forgot to run a search before posting my idea. I do notice that the thread is more than 18 months old, so would be kinda awesome if Dragonblade weem LostSoul could swing by a share their...

    A new spin on rituals

    I have always (well, since 2008) had an ambivalent relationship with rituals in 4e D&D. On one hand, I thought it was fairly smart way to handle some of the non-combat spells that filled up spellbooks in the old editions. On the other hand, I have never been completely happy with how rituals...

    What is a simple war game to simulate, well, a war in D&D

    I have used Hardboiled armies more than once in my campaigns, and I can't recommend it enough. Both my players and I have had an awesome time every time we have used it.

    Goodreader is by far the best PDF-reader for iOS.

    WotC sayz "People don't use rituals much" - O RLY?

    This is a nutty idea, throwing off all balance that 4e is built on out of the window. It might be worth considering.

    D&D 5E (2014) cancelled 5e announcement at Gencon??? Anyone know anything about this?

    I have been considering lately, if it was more a DM than a player issue. Since around '90, I have been almost exclusively the DM. While there was little doubt in our groups that wizards were grossly overpowered in PvP if prepared properly (we ran DungeonHacks, 6 vs 6 in magical arenas as a...

    D&D 5E (2014) cancelled 5e announcement at Gencon??? Anyone know anything about this?

    The difference between what Mearls did and what Stevens did is this: Mearls: We are very happy with the improvements: We have increased our sales. Stevens: We are number 1, we are number 1, we are number 1. We are beating D&D and we are very happy about it. Now, it might not be her intention...

    Reasons why going down the Essentials line of thinking is a mistake !!!

    Maybe it's cause I am drunk, but has essentials ruined (or lessened) support for your Warden and your Thief? I mean, I get the Warden issue (although Heroes of the Feywild might give ya a little something?), but Thief? It's an Essential class, without Essentials, there would be no thief at all.

    D&D 5E (2014) cancelled 5e announcement at Gencon??? Anyone know anything about this?

    I agree completely that everyone should be allowed to enjoy whatever it is that person enjoy, without being mocked. But I also think that people should be able to take if someone aims what is clearly a hyperbole at their odd taste. And while Shemmy might have a reason to be slightly miffed over...

    D&D 5E (2014) cancelled 5e announcement at Gencon??? Anyone know anything about this?

    I never said it precludes anyone from anything. This wasn't a general statement. I was just pointing out something that happens to be a fact. That Shemmy spends an awful lot of time trashing WotC's plane material, which I find a bit funny, when you consider he writes just that for the...

    D&D 5E (2014) cancelled 5e announcement at Gencon??? Anyone know anything about this?

    While I might consider believing you, given your history with Planescape, I am fairly certain you represent an extremely small part of the D&D community. You are certainly the first I have heard of that has had a campaign (arc) in PoV. Considering you write planar stuff for the competition...

    Solos and Action Points

    I usually save one for when a player says: Woaw, that was close, almost dead, need healing guys! - Or something along that way.
