    Creature Competition: MM2 (Forked from WoTC)

    Voted for the giant ant. I didn't scroll down far enough to notice the pictures! Very cool. I actually like Wayne England's behir, as opposed to almost anything else he's ever done - his equipment art is quite nice though, and I remember some stuff he did for WH40k that I like too. I think...

    MM2 Preview Starspawn

    I think it'd be cool if they start out humanoid-shaped (you are what you eat), but once you bloody them they revert to a true form, full of tentacles and eye-shaped stars and such.

    I love D&D!

    Can't believe I've missed this thread so far! It's so cool to see the OP being showered with praise and gifts from so many! Enworld is dripping with winsauce. *XP for OP* I must say that I've played several RPGs in the past. I've liked many. I've only ever felt love for D&D.

    POL fluff Forked From: MM2 Preview Starspawn

    I'm really liking the PoL stuff too. It's thick with implied flavor, enough to build great stories on your own, but not so much that it's overwhelming to try and fit it into alternate settings. I'm having such a good time DMing my current PoL game that I'm not really interested in switching over...

    First New Monster Minis Previewd

    Oh man, the cyclops is a visible?! Yes! I'll be getting a few of these guys to compliment the rest of my cyclopses. I mirror the rest of the threads opinions - those orcs are nice but that gnoll is pretty bad. Looks like a greyhound-man, not a hyena-man. The arbalester is cool though, and can...

    More Orcs!

    Exactly the way I imagined it too. "GRUUUUUUUUUUUUMSH!" Hey WotC, could we get an errata that adds "... until the end of the encounter"? I know you guys are watching. :devil:

    Avenger. What am I missing?

    Hmmm? When the target of your Oath of Enmity dies you recharge the power and can use it on another target. Also, if you're only getting to use your re-roll 1 - 3 times before it dies then: a) you're not a very good avenger b) the DM is really making it difficult for you to do your shtick by...

    MM2 Preview Starspawn

    I like this dude a lot! He has some really unique powers - slowly degrading ongoing damage is nice & startling for those PCs already used to the save mechanics. The xorn, adamantine dragon, and now this starspawn - it seems like the designers & developers are getting really creative with their...

    Dracolich: Stun-o-riffic!

    Fair enough! :p

    Dracolich: Stun-o-riffic!

    Stunned =/= unconscious, so the dragon couldn't have coup de graced anybody. You can only do that to someone who is helpless. Unless of course the dracolich really did have attacks that knocked you unconscious. There might be one of those in the 4e Draconomicon - can't remember.

    GMs: How long is your typical campaign?

    My current 4e game started at the launch of 4e and will probably finish up around June/July, so that's roughly a year. Previously I've had games run a few months up to a year, though I GMed a RIFTS game that went off-and-on for 2 years.

    Anyone else not feel "the grind"

    So, what do you get done in 3 hours that keeps your players coming back week after week? More/fewer encounters? Something else? Agreed wholeheartedly!

    DDM: Player's Handbook Heroes - Dissapointed?

    I actually think most of the minis will look a lot better in-hand. I'm especially psyched for that tiefling warlord. He just looks so badass IMO. I'll probably pick 'em all up.

    Danger at the White Lotus Academy *Spoilers*

    Good point! Title edited. I just wanted to hide my info because if you're browsing the topics and you hover your mouse over it you'd see the spoiler. I don't think the tags are really necessary anymore.

    Trolls!

    I've used trolls in several encounters so far, with my PCs knowing full well what will stop their regeneration (thanks to several edition's worth of experience). I also figure that my PCs with extensive monster lore have come across stories detailing your average troll, so a simple knowledge...

    Danger at the White Lotus Academy *Spoilers*

    An adventure designed to take advantage of the lore established in the article Dragon 374: White Lotus Academy. I have yet to give this adventure a deep reading, but I quickly noticed the return of one of my favorite monsters: the spell weaver! In this adventure he's a "spell weaver...

    *imagines cat familiar getting hit by a fireball, launching it screaming into the sky like Team Rocket* OK, familiars just got even better for me.

    PCs or monsters?

    Portfolio updated, picture based on WotC's Vampire Hunter mini!

    I think he has his leg bent up, right? Pretty nice pic! One of my favorite minis too.

    MM2 Excerpt: Adamantine Dragon question

    Truth! 4x claws on one PC is some serious pain, and probably the best way to go in most situations. I can see some actual deaths coming out of fighting this bad boy, instead of just KOs.
