The example I had in mind is the Neverwinter book. When that was announced, the forums were full of "Waaaah, that's not what I wanted!" But I can guarantee you that Neverwinter was released above anything else because that's what Wizards felt would sell the most books. Yeah that's fair, I...

While I'm at it, I'm really sick of the complaints that Wizards doesn't listen to its real fans, aka you and the particular people who agree with you. The people who complain on forums make up about one percent of the fan base, and that's being generous. I can guarantee you that Wizards...

You realize that by making this thread, you're just feeding the problem.

I would like to add that there are rumors for lots of things. Just because there's a rumor that 5th edition will be announced soon does not give us any reason to believe it will actually happen in the near future.

That's true, but then you still need to run an adventure where a kobold can cause a TPK.

It's an interesting concept, but I couldn't imagine ever using it, even to introduce new players to the game.

Now I remember what happened. We spent a half hour making jokes about the paladin's new penis size, then the rogue was quite adamant about not giving up his ring. I really need to whip my players into shape. ...I hope they're not reading this.

Pretty nice. I would suggest that it also include remaining action points.

I am a big fan of Fourthcore. The only reason I'm not using their style is because I don't actually want to wipe out the party. A few deaths, sure, but not a TPK. I will definitely take some of your ideas into consideration, thanks.

What I think I might do is give them a passive perception at the beginning to alert them there is at least one trap in the room. Then I'll let them search, but I'll make the DCs such that they only have a 50/50 chance of finding them. And if they fail, then their characters have to act on the...

So I guess I was a little cranky last night because one player didn't show up with no warning. It turned out she had a good excuse, but I didn't know that at the time. I think the real problem is the passive perception. If I use passive perception and spoon-feed them the traps, there will be...

Two players (they're a few years younger than the rest of us) are having fun, because they have fun just in having optimized characters. The other two don't seem too enthused. I could try adding in more lateral challenges that can't be solved with a good die roll. Maybe beef up a few rooms...

So I'm running the 4e version of the original Tomb of Horrors module for some friends. I made the mistake of overhyping it, telling them how scary and deadly it was when I played it a million years ago. As a result, a couple players have made extremely optimized characters, whose passive...

There are no explicit rules for it in 4e. I would just make a house rule saying if you sleep in your armor, make an Endurance check or wake up with one less healing surge.

Whenever my girlfriend and I play in the same D&D game, we like to make characters with synergy. For example, last time I played a sentinel and she played a rogue. My wolf companion gave her combat advantage and she sneak attacked everything. I was wondering if you had any other ideas for...

Hey all, I'm looking for an Android app that takes the place of index cards. All I really need it to do is sort characters and monsters by initiative order and record damage to monsters. DM Assist was the only app I could find, but it isn't that good. Any advice?

Dungeons and Dragons Tactics for the PSP was a turn based strategic game using D&D 3.5 rules. It was a good idea on paper, but the game had a lot of problems. I think a few of the PC games had the same format, but none of them are worth playing.

Also ranged attacks. The D&D rules aren't that hard. You just need a good grasp of logic. All dogs are mammals vs all mammals are dogs and so forth. Having the Rules Compendium really helps.

You know he's on to something because he added three exclamation points to the end.

I am a bit more liberal with my definition of short rest. I define a short rest as a period of time in which the players are not engaging any challenges, whether combat, puzzle, or role-playing. During this short rest, players may use as many encounter powers as they want, such as Healing...
