That's me in a nutshell. The money isn't all that important, its the absolutely abysmal decrease in quality in the tools that I use that has kept me from re-subscribing. This also helps justify my idea that the VTT as a primary goal for DDI was a horrible choice. all the software resources...

Wasn't the old one also a "Deluxe" screen, ie that was it's product name? Anyway, for $10, I get a screen re-organized for stuff that is slightly more useful and up-to-date errata. I'm not seeing a rip-off here. edit: Apparently I'm wrong. The 4e screen wasn't deluxe, but apparently the 3e...

Ad space would seriously piss me off. A lot.

I'll third or fifth or whatever we're on with the idea of leveling up when you feel it's right. I'll just add the caveat that you should make sure the players are on board with the idea. If the players really like tracking those numbers, then you shouldn't take it away. I'll also point out...

Yeah, busy with a baby, and was speaking as a general rule of thumb rather than an absolute.

Grant CA means that everyone who attacks you has CA. Gaining CA means that for your next attack you have CA against the target.

That extra dimension is expensive. I mean, personally, I'd like robotized minis that walk and act out their various attacks and powers (ie minis in 4D where the last dimension is time), but I can't say that I'm surprised that we don't see that.

So the coffee wasn't just hot, it was hotter than everyone else served coffee because McD's decided that it would rather extend the life of the coffee grounds and use the savings to pay for the extra injuries caused. That is, McD's knew that it was serving something extra dangerous relative to...

For me, it varies from ~50% to 90% homebrew/substantially changed.

This is the first article I've wanted to read in months. Of course it comes right after my subscription expired.

Why were your characters fighting William Shatner?

Boo on my own inability to read.

Well, 0 or lower hitpoints means that a creature has the Status called Unconscious, but like all things that may or may not be linked to actually being unconscious vs being down on the ground completely winded. Such a reflavoring wouldn't bother me, but I can understand others not liking it.

Obviously a run of the mill zombie or general undead won't do anything. For my mini adventure, san checks will be limited to xoriat/daelkyr monsters.

I'll second this. I just picked up Demonomicon a few says ago. The lore/creation myth at the start of it is more or less the background for my BSG themed campaign I plan to start soon. I love the small stuff like Nentir Vale and the big stuff like Torog and the Underdark. It might not be the...

Nitpick: The house rules in monopoly are game breakers. No auctions, free parking pays, etc. turn a quick reasonable game (1-2 hours) into a hellish slog.

Seriously, a botch roll on my sanity check. That bodes poorly.

I'm working up a Cthulhu-Eberron crossover mini adventure for my gaming group and needed some sanity rules for 4e. If anyone is interested, here are the rules I'm using. They are obviously adapted from CoC and the OGL sanity rules. There are a few tweaks for 4e, and I've added a sanity deck...

The straw that broke the camel's back for me was the choice to stop the compilations of Dragon and Dungeon. I like to read en mass, and ideally wait till I'm in an internetless situation. That basically took the last big feature of DDI out of my normal routine and just felt cheap. But while...

I'd be all for it. A lot of the high level feats are about doing something special or awesome. I would imagine that you'll mostly see characters being a bit more cinematic with their abilities rather than outright explosions of power.
