Just want to echo the praise for Pandemonium. I went to the last D&D gameday there, as well as an RPGA event. They have a good selection of stuff and are real nice. Lots of events happening and hosted. I live south of the city, so I don't get in all that much. Down here the closest to me is...

How does everyone handle lighting arrows on fire and shooting monsters with them? I can't seem to have any rules on it.

I want to echo this. It seems like the classes in the first PHB were, "here is the basics" and PHB2 were, "got the basics, let's turn this out and see what we can do". So while you are filling the same "roles" you are doing them in more interesting ways. A barbarian is a melee striker, much like...

When is the update supposed to be posted? I'm itching to update my party's characters (Arcane Power options have been taken). Plus, I know my players will be happy with a new version of the demo as well.

There isn't a whole lot of information here, and nothing to really have a reaction one way or another. The question is just regarding costs from last year compared to this year. Last year, they had costs related to D&D Insider. Since they hadn't released DDI yet, they had no revenue from it, so...

A good one is @SlyFlourish Daily 4E DM advice.

They may have lumped them all together, since it technically was the Penny-Arcade podcast, with special guests Scott from PvP and Wil. I believe the first podcast was spawned when WotC wanted to advertise on the PA site. PA has a policy that they wont advertise a game without playing it first...

I use the Chessex battlemaps, along with any appropriate tiles and 3D papercraft terrain. I also ran the KotS with two different groups and TPK'ed them twice on the same encounter. I'm convinced that the Irontooth encounter is beatible, but only by a well coordinated team. That encounter is...

I want to definitely say YES! to that. My party currently has a Drow, with the Dragon Magazine article feat for re-active darkness. Meaning, when hit, he can use the Globe of darkness encounter power as an immediate reaction. He does it, "ALOT". (It's now a running gag, "ooh, you made me ink!")...

I definitely agree. I have some FDG and WWG stuff, and you pretty much nailed it. IF you are just starting out, definitely go with Fat Dragon Games. There stuff is clean, simple, and great. It's easy to figure out, easy to put together, looks great, and definitely adds alot. The WWG stuff is...

I'm just going to jump in as well and say "HELL YES!" We really need to focus on this, D&D is great and we love it so much, we actively sought out a place on the internet to discuss how awesome it is with other like minded folks. My weekly game take splace on Sunday, so it's postponed due to...

So, just to be completely clear here. A book store ordered stock on a book which sold out. The book is on best seller lists. The book store decides not to order anymore... I guess this is why Borders is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. You've basically said, "The new Harry Potter book came...

Please, please, please, please stop posting at once. Get some legal advice from an actual in real life attorney who has experience in this types of cases. Discussion pending lawsuit is NEVER a good idea, no matter how right you are. Second, this is a civil lawsuit, not a criminal lawsuit, which...

Which I'm honestly fine with. I'd rather not have power creep come in with these cards. I don't like introducing new powers through these cards (even though I'll get them with the CB), so if they are bland and "poor choice", it makes them pass easier.

Well they also explained the price increase in that the figures will all have better paint jobs. They'll all have the "rare" quality paint job, as opposed to getting figures with a mix of paint quality (Cloaked Trickster anyone?). I have yet to see the new minis, so I can't say for sure.

You also have to realize that maybe Chris was nervous about recording the podcast. It's one thing to DM for a table of strangers, it's another to do it with a mic in front of your face, in a strange office, with people cracking jokes the entire time. Plus, he wrote the adventure specifically...

The Player's Handbook 2 comes in at number 28 on the USA Today's top 150 book list. Pretty cool. Gratz to WotC. USATODAY.com

Well, I don't know if that is a reasonable interpretation. The designers said that one of the guiding principles in making the new edition was to try and make the funnest game possible, and in each situation when they make a choice, they should side with whats fun. I think thats a reasonable...

Thats pretty much how it works. Head over to your FLGS and ask for an RPGA card or a DCI card. As noted above, it's the same thing. I went to an LFR event, grabbed a card and signed up really quickly. I also took the DM test and passed so now I can schedule my own events if I so chose. But you...

DM: "Show me the exact path you take through the room". Player: "I move four square up to here" DM: "Alright stop on two, whats your Reflex?"
