    DnD Novels Dead?

    Perhaps retooling for digital media?

    Tomb of Horrors RPGA DM Reward

    Another item missing: Page 3, first paragraph says "See the illustration on the inside front cover"... that illustration is missing entirely from the book! I think they meant to include this picture there: All the images are available here: Tomb of Horrors Art Gallery

    I think Stun - At Will is retarded and stupid, but with a recharge mechanic or encounter type power it's pretty freaking scary (and should be!)

    Status of D&D Game Table?

    I think some of these third party developers of VTT should court WoTC with a solution for a cut of the DDI revenue. (You know, RPTools folks, Fantasy Grounds, etc... people with established VTT product already that could be retrofitted to drop into the system easily)

    Tomb of Horrors RPGA DM Reward

    Ok, so an athletics check to know enough to hit it and see if it's hollow beneath. I can see that, but how the players might stumble upon this is another matter. The description is about as clear as mud.

    Tomb of Horrors RPGA DM Reward

    Well, yes, but I could expect a Perception check to Spot something, but an athletics check to hear something?

    Tomb of Horrors RPGA DM Reward

    This. Almost a useless map (but it looks cool). I could see using it as a zoom out of progress for the party, cover the whole thing with stickies and peel them off as they discover things. Also, had a chance to read a little bit. Took me to get to page 5 before I found serious editing...

    Tomb of Horrors RPGA DM Reward

    Came home and it was sitting in my mailbox. I am not quite sure what to do with the really slick poster map that is at 1/4 in scale and has all the secret doors, traps, and whatnot revealed, but I'll stew on that for a bit. Much of the interior art work came from the original mod, which is fun...

    Dracolich

    Speaking as a player who has faced one before, let me tell you that it totally sucks and is really annoying. I think it would be more fun all around to rebuild him as 3 or 4 "creatures", with separate initiatives and hit points. So you do suffcient damage to it's legs it can no longer use it's...

    Tomb of Horrors RPGA DM Reward

    For some reason, I thought the contact update was in June and the DM Reward in August. It said it was a DM Reward on the letter?

    Pathfinder 1E Sell me on Pathfinder!

    I find that I am flipping through the Pathfinder core book almost constantly during the game when I play it, looking up spell effects or how something works. This is partly because I can't seem to get the gumption up to read the entire pathfinder rulebook cover to cover, partly due to the...

    Just for fun, what monsters would make the best bards?

    My first thought was Kenku, masters of imitation, would be great at relaying tales (with sound effects)... sort of like C3PO did in Return of the Jedi to those little fuzzy meatbags.

    Villains and Vigilantes comes back

    It was right there, on a table for you somewhere in the book :D

    Villains and Vigilantes comes back

    Virtually unavailable? I thought you could get V&V on RPGNow for a while there from Fantasy Games Unlimited... am I wrong? RPGNow.com - The leading source for indie RPGs I'll be curious to see if the simplfied anything (not that it was hard to begin with, I just recall flipping back and forth...

    Has lack of an insider account kept you from playing 4E?

    You can houserule anything in the CB, which makes it nice to use for houseruling a home campaign too as you can export the campaign settings and give it to your players so they can be aware of what options are available. Need a magic item that isn't in the system? Add it. Need a feat? Add a...

    Has lack of an insider account kept you from playing 4E?

    There is a generator out there for just about any system (Heroforge, Star Wars SAGA, etc). Leveling up in 4E is remarkably simple however, and doesn't really require a computer to see if something is wrong... except when you start to add in feats, magic items, class features, etc. For example...

    Has lack of an insider account kept you from playing 4E?

    I can say that while the CB helps to ensure there are no errors on the character sheet, making it a requirement isn't something I would ever have. I have offered to plug in a persons character sheet into my CB and print it out for them before (so we could double check his math), but if they...

    Where Did All The Girls Go?

    I can't recall a gaming group that didn't have at least one, usually two or more females in recent times. Sure 25 years ago it was different, but now... many women play in my gaming groups. I had a 4E home game that was 4 females and 2 males.

    Would you repurchase MM1 and MM2?

    I would only re-purchase them if they included a lot more fluff in them. Otherwise, I'll stick with compendium.

    Games You Have But Have Never played

    Yep, me too. I prowl RPGNow looking for things I have some interest in and when they go on sale pick them up. That said, 1PG Westerns is something I am dying to try but haven't had a chance to.
