    No Character Builder Update

    I was thinking I needed to write a letter to complain about that very thing.

    D&D Encounters Season 3 - Keep on the Borderlands

    It won't be. Season 3 starts next week and the notice I just read said early October for the CB update. My plan is to bring 6 copies of the essentials character sheets and roll up characters right then and there. Once the updates are out they can be converted to CB character sheets. Speaking...

    Is there a link to the official PC sheet in HoTFL?

    D&D Encounters Season 3 - Keep on the Borderlands

    The short unofficial answer is no, you can't get it outside of retail. It's designed to be run in a retail environment, and is part of what makes a store a premiere store. I had the same problem as you, my solution was to kill my home game and spend weekends with my family, and play D&D...

    Put Your Money Where Your Mou- err Editing Skillz Is!

    This is one job I can say for certain that I would not want to have. It's thankless. People only notice your work when it's bad. Nobody says "Wow, amazing editing job on that last Forgotten Realms novel". I catch errors all the time in game books from WotC, mostly from when they rely on...

    D&D Encounters Season 3 - Keep on the Borderlands

    I picked up my D&D Encounters Season 3 kit last night (and a copy of the Heroes of the Fallen Lands book). After some skimming through here are my initial thoughts: 1. This adventure gives you some NPCs with motivations to inject into the adventure. 2. This adventure is broken into 5...

    Essentials Game Day recap

    It was a gameday adventure, not typically available after the event, and they never make PDFs of these. I have no idea what the free adventure looks like, can anyone spoiler the plot of that one and we can make some comparisons.

    Castle Ravenloft Board Game

    Yeah, I paid full price too a few weeks back because I wanted to support the FLGS and he was selling out fast. No regrets, it's a really fun game. Just need more time to play it! Holidays are coming, it will get lots of play then.

    The Big Winner of Essentials

    I dunno, if you were dumb enough to attack the rust monster with your "flaming sword of epic doomslaying" rather than using that spare you had laying around... you deserve it if it crumbles to nothing but dust. :)

    Was your Gamma World not gonzo?

    I would think it wouldn't be too difficult to adjust the game to be something more along the lines of Book of Eli or any other post apocalyptic event and go for gritty over comical, but without the rules being out we won't know. Most likely, I will be using Gamma World for 1 shot short...

    Essentials Game Day recap

    Sunderpeak Temple writeup (massive spoilers within) This adventure takes place somewhere after the adventure in the red box (there are references made to the red box adventure within that it takes place after the Twisting Halls adventure). A dwarf scholar has hired the party to escort him to...

    Essentials Game Day recap

    Not exactly the same dragon, but built on the same chassis. It only had one initiative count for example. Spoilers My table was one of the few that didn't TPK on that encounter, mainly because I rolled crappy initiative for both him and his hobgoblin attendant. As DM, I felt the rune trap...

    D&D 4E 4E Essentials Dungeon Tiles Master Set The Dungeon tile photos

    Is every one of those tiles from a prior set? They look very familiar. If they reprint the original set then I think I might pick up a box.

    Red Box: Some Constructive Criticism

    ...or perhaps they planned it as such. I don't work for Wizards, and until I see someone from design or development post otherwise, my guess is as good as any. Really, how many of you have played a game... disliked your build and tossed it out to start over again? I do it all the time, this...

    Red Box Competition

    Well, I entered anyway and said something about my Erol Otus cover (I think that was who was on it)
  17. Festivus

    So, what does the Red Box give you, anyway?

    ...and if you hurry up and play your adventure contained within... the story continues at your FLGS in the form of the red box gameday adventure.

    Red Box Competition

    I agree it's ageist and unfair. I was playing D&D for years before the red box came out... just like Merric :)

    Red Box: Some Constructive Criticism

    Yep, sorry, was kind of splitting hairs there, I agree with some points but not with the epic fail. It's just a fail with some audience members. :) This thread is getting cyclical, I think I shall see nothing new or constructive added to it. *rolls a d20* Yep.

    Best of the Best - Strikers.

    Perhaps you aren't taking enough risks as an artful dodger then. With mine, it's running into the fray and attacking from the middle of all the bad guys, and zipping back out. Almost never missing and hardly ever getting hit thanks to increased AC against opportunity attacks or powers that let...
