And cheating. This video is part 5 of the session, it's not edited down to 10 minutes, it's just minute 40 to 50 of the game session. They didn't pick an encounter and edit it down, the camera is just rolling. Get five people together, most of whom have little to no experience with D&D, and...

Wow! This is great. I just downloaded, installed, and played around a little bit. This is GREAT! I can't wait to put this to use. Great job! I really love it.

One of the reasons cited was that traditional book sellers didn't have a good direction to point people interested in the game. Or if they got the "starter set" they didn't know where to go from there. This series is to develop a clear product path for people getting into the game.

From the previews, and the podcast, I believe they said they were launching the setting a couple of weeks after Kalak's death, with Tyr a free city (in the throws of chaos). So 7 SKs... hmm, Dregoth? Andropinis, Tectuktitlay, Lalali-Puy, Nibenay, Abalach-Re, Hamanu, and Dregoth. I like it!

I think we should preserve judgement till we see them, however, Dark Sun characters were ALWAYS supposed to be more powerful than their "normal" world counterparts. Wild talents, higher initial starting level, higher ability scores... an extra encounter power isn't exactly bank-breaking...

I'd just like the existing Encounter Builder from the bonus tools section of the website to be added to the Adventure Tools.

Just searching around for some kind of confirmation of this rumor, I found this: If you are in Seattle, you can go down to the Barnes and Noble and ask Rob himself about it... Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (PH Holiday Bundle Signing)

Do we have any sort of confirmation on this? It fits the pattern of lay offs, but I'm going to be a doubting thomas until we get confirmation from a named source.

But thats not how "Saving Grace" works. Benefit: When you succeed on a saving throw, you can choose not to end the effect you saved against and instead allow an ally within 5 squares of you to make a saving throw with a bonus equal to your Wisdom modifier. So he would HAVE to not only roll a...

MORE DARK SUN INFO! Looks like the three Dark Sun Books are in the WotC catalog. Interesting details: Campaign Guide Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Product (Dark Sun Campaign Setting) Dark Sun Creature Catalog Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page -...

I believe that is slated for next year. They are going to create a "basic dungeons" or soemthing box set and focus on having that always be in print. The focus on the other sets expanding on that.

For the PHB2 gameday, WotC even admitted that the paragon tier pre-mades (I think they were level 11 or 12?) were too much of a learning curve for players. I agreed. When you come in fresh, it's tough to immediately get a grasp on what all your powers are, what they do, and how to use them...

D&D is a game and the objective of the game is to have fun. You need to eliminate elements that aren't fun. If a player isn't fun, they don't need to play. Just remember it's a game, it's not a job or a business, it's not government. Just tell them, "hey, you don't really seem like you are into...

It IS! That is one of my all time favorite comedies. It is also very quotable. It is just a great, smart, witty, and silly movie. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and go watch it today.

The party is already going to have their resources taxed by the time they get to the final battle. The idea that they'll just pop out their combos and end the campaign in one round is pretty silly. They'll be low on dailies and healing surges by the time they get to the Orcus fight. Thats...

I really like the Robin Laws ideas in the 4e DMG2. I like the idea of requiring PC's to include knowing at least two of the other characters in their back stories. Letting the players get involved in setting the initial stage. I've done the "you all meet in a tavern", "everyone knows an NPC", or...

It seems like a lot of your problems with 4E could be solved with a different DM. You mentioned that you created a character with an interesting backstory that your DM ignored. That led you to want to play a different character as well. That is pretty edition independent. The "easy" raise dead...

I use the Character Builder and I print the power card sheets on 110pound cardstock and cut them out. I then organize them into multiple stacks, at-wills, encounters, dailies, and items. I then put them under the clip on my clipboard which holds my character sheet. I also take that nifty little...

Excellent! I assume you'll be done with bitching about it as well, since honestly, I'm tired of reading it. We GET IT, you are upset. Some people actually want to see some feedback about the class and hear about how it plays without see endless posts repeating the same points. That is what I'm...

Because PCs are supposed to kill monsters, monsters are not supposed to kill PCs (individually). PCs are supposed to be able to get through multiple rooms/locations/encounters in a day. Monsters are supposed to last one fight with the PCs and die. 4e combat is about a grand cinematic battle...
