No adventure tools update that I have seen today.

Just to note here, the one you have on order from Amazon is not the same adventure as the one from AD&D you had read. The RPGA reward adventure is the conversion of that classic, and you can't buy it from Amazon. You can probably get it still if you go to the Wizads site and update your...

When playing my rogue, my rule is that if I have combat advantage on something, and my first attack doesn't kill it, do it again to double up the sneak attack values (slaying action feat is wonderful). I usually don't have more than one action point. I am wondering if the player was saying...

I am gearing up to run a Greyhawk game and considered limiting races, but then decided that I would let folks take whatever they wanted for races and we could just re-skin them to be humanoinds but with that flair, so for example a Warforged might end up being a human with a particularly thick...

As far as I know, the only way to play the adventures (and get them) is to work with a FLGS. We are running it at Pasadena, California, and it's been fun. Season 2 has less draw than season 1 did, I think for two reasons: 1, it's longer (15 weeks total) and 2, it's not Forgotten Realms, which...

Yeah, it's more like "RickRoll FAIL" :D

I struggle with this too at times, particularly with Dark Sun Encounters... running away is sometimes the thing to do, but so many players are conditioned to fight to the bitter end. I offer hints and suggestions, possible exit routes, etc, yet they continue to slug it out.

This works in pen and paper too. I usually have a copy of the encounter area behind the DM screen and can easily know where something was (I usually use a sticky note or a pencil mark on the map)

Personally, I wouldn't pull the chain, but someone in the party invariably would. So I would just do my best to be in the hallway instead of the room when that happens. I would just have to find some way to live with the haunting screams for help, followed by the inevitable crunch of bone and...

Here is how I do it (as I prep for this weekend's meetup): First, I read the adventure, ignoring tactics and statblocks... try to get a feel for the general direction of the story, major players (how do they speak, look, etc), locales (what does it smell like, sounds, etc). Second, I reread...

Disagree, these are the original awesome halflings: YouTube - Out of the way, peck! And yes, I very much enjoy playing the smaller races... halflings, gnomes, kobolds, etc. My current favorite 4E character is the halfling rogue.

Are my eyes just old or was that really hard to read?

Can I just point out that the rules really haven't changed much from the release of the game. It's all the exceptions to those rules. One of the things I very much like about 4E is that it has a really easy to understand core mechanic, with a bunch of stuff that breaks one or more of those...

I couldn't afford the adventure modules when I was a kid, so we made our own adventures up. Even graph paper was hard to come by back then.... no idea why other than lack of funds to buy it. God forbit my dice wear out, that was like all my Christmas money to replace.

Just curious, but what does that import from? Heroforge? Herolab?

So I hadn't looked at Maptool in a while, and any frameworks, so I decided to take a look at what was out there last night. Turns out there is a framework where you can copy and paste from the CB and Compendium entries (although it's not perfect, it's pretty much what has been suggested above)...

Before this gets locked for becoming a edition war (...thanks for threadcrapping folks...) I think after reading a bit more of this adventure, it's plenty deadly and probably plenty enjoyable to play. There are some fun encounters (I like the sequence of hidden doors challenge), it's well laid...

To me, the main benefit of the Character Builder is that I don't have to go through and revise all my skills, powers, basic attacks, etc. every time I level. (Edit: By this I mean, if it's an even level, increase it by 1... yeah it's not that hard to do by hand) Plus, the Character Builder...

Is it really titled: Vor Rukoth: An Ancient Ruins Adventure Sight or is it supposed to be: Vor Rukoth: An Ancient Ruins Adventure Site

Perhaps you haven't fought a Colossus of Laarn in 4E yet? My rogue was pretty well neutralized in terms of damage output... but stellar in terms of thievery (which was a standard action... rightly so in this instance). So a change like the one suggested would make an encounter with a Colossus...
