Castle Ravenloft is a pretty pricey compared to the Red Box... I don't know his finances but I would get a sidelong look from my wife if I proposed a $60 board game for my son as a gift.

I tried to listen to all of them but some the audio got so low I couldn't hear them. I hope he puts those back up so I can hear them. Also, he didn't go to the Gamma World presentation... did anyone record that?

I wonder if those won't be something akin to twitter buffs (I said the same about Gamma World and was wrong but hey, I like the Gamma World ones). Something environmental (e.g. a fog rolls in and grants concealment to all combatants). I have little to no interest in things like this, but I...

My 4 year old is itching to play, knows how to read dice and play pretend. My 7 year old, not so much. I think it very much depends on the child.

What I want to know is how many of you actually have a d20 with you at work? I do... and rolled a natural 20! (no kidding, I really did)

(double post --- wierd)

I was playing in the Living Forgotten Realms setting until they changed how that all worked and drove me away. I await January to see how the "reboot" looks for that. It was what was available at the time. Now there are more options open to me. Regarding Spellplague... it's just yet another...

Second Chance is an immediate reaction, you can't take immediate actions on your turn. So i fyou are a rogue and you miss, you don't get to use it. But of course, any rogue worth their salt isn't going to miss. If someone else missed, yep, you bet he can. But again, any rogue worth their...

Still won't knock a dwarf off it's feet... but a halfling has no hope of using second chance against the tail swipe.

Someone asked me what was with all the females in the pregens? I think it's 4 of the 6. I said "Can you really tell me what gender a thri-kreen is? Just reskin them, gender has no gameplay difference."

I too posted up some photos of the box when I got my hands on it the other night. Thought I'd share. I really like the character sheet! Pasadena D&D Meetup - Red Box Photos for the album.

I have a halfling rogue named "Chadeaux" that I play in Living Forgotten Realms currently, I rather like that name.

While I was DMing my Encounter table last night, I observed a couple of guys with a 4e PHB1 in hand try to figure out how to make characters. After my Encounters game was over I talked with them and asked what they thought of 4e. They were confounded a bit by how to create characters, they...

The red box is at some premiere stores, I have seen it. Here is what I suspect your daughter might benefit from with red box: 1. A sense that this is HER game 2. A fun short intro story / way to teach herself and other friends how to play and understand roles 3. A set of her own dice 4. A set...

No map appears (tried with 3 different browsers on two different networks) and I can't just type in an address and click go... nothing happens when I try to set an event location.

Ah but, unlike a video game, you as the game master could feed tales of a terrible goblin who, when his back was against the wall, suddenly strengthened in the fight and turned the tide, as told by the only surviving member of an expedition. That way, you as the DM have given veiled warnings...

I haven't needed it for the bulk of the Encounters program, and having read the gameday adventure, you won't need if for that either. I keep thinking it's on the 24th, but that's the Gamma World gameday.

If you don't update stealth, there will be confusion too. At my table, the rule is that I run with the latest errata. At your table, do as you please but make sure your players know in advance what you are doing. This is where things like the Rules Compendium become something I will very...

I think it depends a lot on if you are the guy rolling lots and lots of dice, or the guy who gets to roll once for spell penetration (and if lucky, rolling a few more dice perhaps) and then sit for 5 minutes again waiting for his next chance to roll a single die. Rolling dice is FUN! I totally...

$10k: Probably purchase a nice gaming table and chairs $100k: Refinish a room in my house to be a game room, complete with non-RPG stuff like billiards, theater and pinball machines $1M: Build a custom game room as an addition to the house
