    May Rules Update

    Love Hop Down! This has to be one of my favorite updates. Didn't really affect any of our characters in a negative ways, and then it solved one of the major discussions in our group - how to handle small step down type falls. I totally in love with the new Hop Down option under Acrobatics.

    D&D Video Gaming News - Hasbro sues for breach of contact by Atari

    Bioware used to work under the Interplay umbrella but couldn't continue under that license after Interplay lost the rights. Bioware did license under Atari for Neverwinter Nights. I think this relationship really soured them towards making licensed games for awhile - therefore, the...

    D&D Video Gaming News - Hasbro sues for breach of contact by Atari

    Update Update: Hasbro and Atari in Dungeons & Dragons fight - Yahoo! Finance Atari's response: Here's what I think is missing from Atari's response: They DID NOT say: 1) The termination of this agreement would hurt us because we have games in development. 2) The deal with Bandai does not...

    Breach of Contract (Atari) re: D&D licensing

    Let's hope that there is a quick resolution to this court case then. Until the digital rights get into the hands of a company that really wants to make a new D&D game, I think there will be no 4e D&D computer game. Even in the best situation, I can't imagine seeing a new game until 2012 at...

    Breach of Contract (Atari) re: D&D licensing

    Fraud and Breach Complaint Filed Against Atari Over Dungeons & Dragons License - Yahoo! Finance This could affect future D&D based videogames. Maybe getting this license out of Infogrames Entertainment/Atari's hands might be a good thing.

    OotS #661 is up!

    The MitD could have used a wish or miracle to pull off that teleport - doesn't need to be a new ability. I'm leaning this way because the MitD certainly phrased it the way you would a wish or miracle.

    Fringe #20:There's More Than One of Everything/S1/2009

    I think this series seems to be inspired by Stephen King more than Sliders. Drug testing to produce supermen/powers: Firestarter (pyrokinesis wasn't the only power that was induced) Alternate Realities and Thin Spots in Realities: Dark Tower series and other books (e.g. Rose Madder)

    Insider: Character Visualizer canceled?

    Could Updating be the Issue? Could one of the reasons for the supposed cancellation of the CV and Game Table be the updating of art as new supplements come out? When the Character Builder is updated, it is mostly pure data being entered. If the CV and GT needed updating, you would have to add...

    So, has everyone pretty much given up on Smallville?

    I've been watching this season. Legion of Superheroes and Justice League were my comic books during my youth - so this season is making me happy. I really feel the characters have grown to a point where if there is a next season, it should be "Metropolis" or "Superman".

    The Dungeon Master or The Rules: why would you play in a RPG campaign?

    Talk To Him I think you should probably the game because a good GM is a good GM, so I'm sure the game will be fine. HOWEVER, I think I would tell him that you really don't like the game system you are going to. This is just in case some of the other players feel the same way and have...

    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    My major complaint was that my bobblehead came off his base and had to be re-glued. Hopefully, that's my last complaint (still installing the game).

    Dice Questions?

    Dice Size Question Is there a d20 sized between the standard set size and the large, plum size dice? What is that size? Good manufacturer of that size (with clear visible numbers)? I want something that is nice looking, highly visible, but still nice to roll.

    Can you wake an ally hit by the Sleep spell?

    As written, no you can't wake an ally up from Sleep. However, when I DM, the sleep spell has been added to include the text from the rogue power: "If the unconscious target takes any damage, it is no longer unconscious." I added it for balance sake, plus the possibility of the orb of...

    Historical Fiction (books)

    http://www.angelfire.com/il2/ofagespastring/fiction.html Here is a good list of historical fiction. I went searching around on the net until I found a list that included my first favorite historical fiction novel - Katherine by Anya Seton. It includes some of my favorites from my youth like...

    KotSF/Realms Conversion (Dungeon)

    Thanks for your answer. I pulled more books out after reading your answer, and the encounter looks well within the rules.

    KotSF/Realms Conversion (Dungeon)

    If people have read or used this conversion, I could really use your help: On the Realms conversion, Cult of Shar encounter: The Sightless Reapers have a +10 to hit with the Shadow Scythe ability. Str+Level+Weapon seems to suggest a +5; assuming that the power gives a +2 to hit, that's still...

    D&D 4E Second version of Init Cards for 4e

    To be true initiative cards, you must have a box in the upper left of the card for current initiative. I used the cards from the DMG last week, and in the middle of the combat, dropped the cards - having a place where I penciled in the current initiative allowed me to recover quickly from this...

    Female opinions, please

    As a female gamer & DM, I had the pleasure of running 4e on Sunday. I liked how easily it was to modify KoTS - I wanted to change a couple of encounters for flavor. There was some roleplaying going on, which I think will increase once the guys get used to the new rules and don't have to focus...
