    Dungeon Tiles and Monkey Snot...

    The shelf linking keeps the tiles from moving at all. They have some give so heavy handed players basically just anchor the tile when they pound on it. The disadvantage is you can't set things up ahead of time.

    Home Made Dm Screen

    How are you linking the character sheets directly? I'd like to take a look at this as well.

    Dungeon Tiles and Monkey Snot...

    I have heard of people doing this to tack it onto foamboard/posterboard. What I use is a cheap rubberized shelf lining (I bought mine at a $1 store) You can even cut to fit each pieces if you want but I just carry around several sheets cut to 8.5x11 so they fit nicely in a folder.

    Do You Write In Or Modify Your Game Manuals?

    It only took one book of mine that someone either stole or accidentally took of mine to inspire me to write in black sharpie on the edges of the pages so I could spot it from just about anywhere. As I mentioned, really only do this with books I take for public play... namely my 3.5 PHB, 4E PHB...

    Do You Write In Or Modify Your Game Manuals?

    I do a few things to my books: If it's a book I expect to take to public play, I will write my last name on the page edges (top, side and bottom). This makes it easy to spot if I loan this to someone at the table. In all my books, I write my name inside the cover and on page 25. I like the...

    When does Non Red Box Essentials come out?

    I'd call it essential if you haven't played an RPG before and have nobody to teach you how to play.

    Encounters- Essentials Only, Moving Forward...

    This seems to contradict what I had been hearing about booster packs being required. I would think that would be an optional component, but magic sealed pack events require purchase. It also sounds like, from reading this, that they are not including tokens with the game day event kit, which...

    Encounters- Essentials Only, Moving Forward...

    I suspect there is something not yet announced that will allow the kitchen sink into the game soon enough. My guess, it will be encounters style, meaning short sessions that can be played in 90 minutes or so, but not on fixed day of the week. If you can't wait for that, try LFR. If LFR isn't...

    Can a swarm be grabbed?

    DM interpretation wins over the rules. So can the GM make a judgement call? You bet. I do it all the time, especially if there isn't a rule for it.

    New Neverwinter Nights Game Probably On Its Way

    More like an essentials computer game.

    Can a swarm be grabbed?

    How about asking the player how they propose to grab the swarm and see what sort of answer they can come up with? Edit: To clarify, I think that yes, they can be grabbed and things can be described in a way that it makes some sort of logical sense (e.g. I use my cloak to envelop them). I had...

    My FLGS sold me the Red Box early.

    Premiere stores should be getting them soon if not already. I was expecting a sale date for premiere stores of Sept 1.

    D&D 4E Old School 4E Character Sheet (Goldenrod) - Now with Power Cards.

    What math? It's already done for you (the half level is already added in for you). It's more a matter of a new player now knowing which skills map to which stat in my experience. My other gripe is that we have some players who have very poor vision or need high contrast to play. Usually I...

    Encounters- Essentials Only, Moving Forward...

    My expectation is that the Encounter program is going to show off the newest books. It did so for Season 1 (Psionics in PHB3), Season 2 (Dark Sun) and Season 3 (Essentials). In Season 1, you got bonus points for making a PHB3 class and taking a feat from that book. Season 2 required pregens...

    Gaming Paper: Terrain Prints?

    This isn't something I would purchase. I don't buy the flip mats with terrain either. The idea of stamps or stencils I could use on paper maps would be a good one. Make one that I could use with flip mats and I would for sure buy them. Doors, traps, secret doors, chairs, rocks, fire pits...

    FAST REQUEST: one-shot with pregens

    I thought it was 4 encounters each... they are easy to whip out and run something yeah, but there is little story to it. Each encounter is approx 1 hour to execute. The Living Forgotten Realms adventures are all free and downloadable, each of those is roughly 4 hours and very easy to run with...

    If Target is stocking this for the holidays, that's a major sale for WoTC.

    Have you seen the layout for the Red Box character sheets? I'd love to see the red box layout with your styles on it.

    DM Rewards

    We see this, almost everyone who goes to encounters also goes to the gamedays. However, Gamedays are a larger draw for us. However, dark sun game day we drew in 5 tables with an average of 5 players per table, about half what we had for PHB3. School starts next week for many, I am wondering...
