    D&D 4E 4e Dungeon Master's Screen - whoa

    A graphic designer friend said thats the smell of ink that did not dry properly before packaging... Supposedly it should disappear in a few weeks

    Quandary! Can I do a “Pirate” campaign with 4th Ed as it is?

    Other people posted all the good ideas already, so I'll just say: 4th edition + Pirates Guide to Freeport = Tons of fun

    Let's pronounce "Genasi"

    :confused: What!? No way! edit: At least it turned out that I pronounce your name correctly...

    What 4e products have you purchased?

    Terry Pratchett made the same joke once, where there was a confusion between a book on Martial Arts and a book on Marital Arts I, for one, would like to buy both, actually edit: Oh, right... back on topic I promised myself that I would not buy any splatbooks for this edition. Since new races...

    Impact of mechanics on roleplay

    Well, I obviously disagree, let me try to explain my point of view... This is a common failure for aspiring writers, and its known in the fan-fiction world as the Mary Sue/Marty Stu syndrome. Just because you are the author (or in a rpg, a co-author) it doesn't mean that the best thing for...

    Death in 4e

    This. As a DM, I am happy now that I feel I can roll criticals against my players and not worry about accidentally killing them... ...and at the same time I can see my players bite their nails when their characters become bloodied or fall unconscious. I haven´t had any deaths in my game yet...

    I was "booed" for even showing the 4e Core books

    Just yesterday, I was reading Slashdot and someone had the following signature: I thought it was meaningful, somehow... - In my real life experience, my best friend and main RPG accomplice is one of those people with serious resistance to changes. So of course he spent the second half of...

    Impact of mechanics on roleplay

    For me, Roleplaying game rules are good for two things only: 1- Character creation and advancement (if only, for balance reasons. Me and my group refluff and kitbash races and classes with wild abandon, in order to make things fit our concepts) 2- Conflict resolution (combat, life-or-death...

    Starter Set - $16.99

    I know that this product is probably already finished and on its way to the printers, but even so... I suggest, as a middle of the road option, that the box contains only pregenerated characters. HOWEVER, the box could include a code to download a pdf of "optional rules" which would include...

    Order of the Stick 592

    That is SO hawt!

    4e Ravenloft - Dragon 368

    The average barovian villager would be making covert hex signs at the entire party and he will call on the lynchmob if he feels he can get away with it. In his eyes, the Human Paladin, dressed in ornate plate armor with strange runes and signs and carrying a jeweled longsword is just as alien...

    D&D 4E 4e: the metagame.

    Why not do both? Being firmly in the "narrativist" camp, I believe that RPGs are "interactive stories" created in consensus between the players and the PCs, so I strongly encourage the players to provide additional narration to describe in-combat effects. However we avoid a "Disengage vs...

    Starter Set - $16.99

    Rouse, you rule. I will buy at least two boxes of this and give the gift of gaming to unsuspecting families. There. I said it. Now, could you tell us how many pregenerated characters are there? Since there are no character creation rules, I hope we will have as many of the "stock" fantasy...

    WotC announced non-randomized minis

    In an attempt to bring the discussion back to the topic on hand, here´s some examples of non-random mini packs I would buy (2 of each, even!): Kobolds pack 1: 4 Kobold minions, 2 Kobold Skirmishers, 2 Kobold Slingers Kobolds pack 2: 4 Kobold minions, 2 Kobold Dragonshields, 1 Kobold Slyblade...

    D&D 4E Are you supposed to level faster in 4e?

    In short, yes. Supposedly, in 4th edition you go from 1st to 30th level in the same time you used to take to go from 1st to 20th in 3.5. As always, your mileage may vary and all that... I guess this assumes you are using the recommended encounter/quest mix described in the DMG in the first...

    Wordles of the PHB and DMG

    Quick, someone run the 3.5 SRD through this! edit: Possibly "Sor/Wiz" will come on top of that one

    lead mini recommendations

    Wouldn´t a well-painted lead mini be reasonably safe? I mean, don´t give them to your toddlers to chew, of course, but there should be nothing wrong about manipulating them in-game, no?

    What Do Gamers Eat?

    In the AD&D 2nd edition and Rolemaster days of our youth, we used to binge on pizzas, nachos, burgers and coca-colas... ---- Fast-forward 15 years and we now usually enjoy a light dinner before the game and then have things like apple slices, nuts and raisins in a bowl, baby carrots, and other...
