I’m looking for that game, too. Bringing money to buy the PDF. It seems interesting. AbdulAlhazred We’ll just have to agree to disagree. I never said the Thief needs to “suck” in combat, nor the Fighter needs to "suck" out of it. But yes, one is more effective than the other in certain...

I agree with role specifications. Perhaps each having only one role is too limited, but I did a research about class roles in RPG games first. The result was a nice, detailed list – which I still change every now and then. I think this will help me when creating my game. But, I would like to...

My group didn’t use the magazines because no one here had DDI, but there was some interesting stuff there. Actually, some of that stuff should be in the books, but it’s the way it is.

Ehh, not so much. Following a code does not make someone a Knight. Druids have codes but they’re not knights. Just as being a Warrior Monk does not make someone a Paladin. That being said, I think the class “Barbarian” does carry a lot of baggage. However, some versions of “Barbarian” are more...

Well, I believe our games will be quite different, but let me share an idea with you: I also like the pre-4e idea of spells, but rituals were a favorite of mine. In my game, I’ll separate between “common” spells and ritual spells. Basically, common spells are fast, need only somatic and verbal...

Well, in my honest opinion, 4e’s biggest problem is errata. Tons, tons, tons and tons of errata. In theory this would be good, hey, they’re improving the game. In practice, however, things go wild when trying to play the PHB with errata and such. At the middle of the edition’s life, all the...

That’s a cool class to have! Personally, I’m favorable to alignment restrictions, but only for classes that are connected to it, such as Clerics and Paladins. Yes, Paladins must be LG. But for me, I see no need to restrict the Barbarian class. Although I do want to replace the Barbarian with...

Well, not wanting to bring in RPG philosophy, but I think the question “What happens when non-thieves try to use thief’s skills” says a lot about the class Thief/Rogue itself and how it has changed through the years. I don’t know, but I often feel like the Thief has lost its essence and now it’s...

I use graph paper, pencils and pen. Cheap and effective. I’m a terrible drawer, but almost no skill is needed: I just draw the walls, the fixed objects and such. After that, I use a pen in top of the draw. Then I color with colored pencils. And it’s done! When combat begins, I note PCs and...

I wonder if I’m the only who uses/used only books and pdfs to play 4e. I mean, sure, it can be a problem when you have too many books, but I never had the constant money required for a subscription – and worst of all, was in dollars. So I always did in “old-school” style. Nothing against those...

Once we’re talking about XP, I want to share my experiment: Basically, for the next game I DM – and possibly for every other one – I’ll award XP by completing missions. And that’s it. I will calculate how much XP they need to level up and how many missions I want them to complete. After that, I...

Someone understands me! I mean, I don’t dislike low-level play, but my dream-goal is to run a high-level campaign. I don’t want to face (both as a player and a DM), goblins, kobolds, orcs or even drow. I want to face powerful fiends, dragons, archfey, and as the climax, gods themselves – or...

Well, I actually like 4th edition; very much. However, I’m reading and DM a lot of other systems, so I can learn about them, before going back to 4th edition. I’ll try to speed things up, I want to return soon :)

Well, that seems to be interesting. After I left D&D because of 5th Edition, I’ve been more or less an expatriate, a wanderer without home, so I will look at this once the Kickstarter campaign runs out.
