I completely agree with everything Merric said, including the bit about the Essentials. While D&DE may be selling well, I think it fails because it tried to do too many things - be a simple starting point to new gamers, bring back lapsed players with notstalgia and compromise, and revise the...

Everyone in my group agrees that they want nothing to do with the essentials. On the DM side, I'm sure I'll wind up using essentialized monsters and traps from the compendium, but that's about it.

I'm buying a couple of the new red box sets to donate to charities that give toys to needy kids this holiday season.

The only time this happened, we made excellent use of stone to flesh on the dungeons walls. Also a great way to get through a stone door you can't open.

I have been out of the gamer closet for years. Back in the day I was a bit less forthcoming at work, but after an incident where there was a complaint about me reading a D&D book in the cafeteria and HR backing me (a shock since our HR dept. is notoriously conservative and shady) seven or eight...

Our group had the raised set up with a custom table we built, and while the additional storage space was nice, it did not really work for us. Since we use Dwarven Forge you couldn't see anything without standing up. We built a new custom table with a sunken center and it is a huge improvement...

One of our players is moving to Canada, so we find ourselves looking for one or two more to join our gaming group. The four players in our group are in their early- to mid-thirties, and have been playing together for years. We like a good mix of combat and role-play, and use miniatures...

Characters: My group has been using painted, and often customized, miniatures for characters for years. Monsters are a pretty even mix of painted metal and D&D plastic, and the collection has grown to the size where I usually have a good representation for what the party is facing. Markers...

We are looking for another player to join our gaming group in Northwest Columbus. The five in our group are in their early- to mid-30’s and enjoy playing unique characters with strong personalities. I have been DMing for over twenty years and create campaigns with plenty of action, intrigue and...

We are looking for one or two players to join a 4th edition D&D campaign starting after the first of the year. The 4 in our group are in their late-20’s to mid-30’s and enjoy playing unique characters with strong personalities. I have been DMing for over twenty years and create campaigns with...

Anyone?

We are looking for one or two players to join a new 4th edition D&D campaign in early October. The four in our group are in their late-20’s to mid-30’s and enjoy playing unique characters with strong personalities. I have been DMing for over twenty years and create campaigns with plenty of...

I'm not very happy about the notion of randomized e-miniatures. I've been pretty exited about 4E, largely because of the digital gaming table. My group saw some guys with a digital projector set up playing in the hotel lobby at Gen Con, and we started talking about getting a set up like this...

I was in the seminar where this was mentioned. There are some points that should be added. One of the concepts they said was important to 4E was that of power sources--arcane and divine are two we are all familiar with... the PHB has a sub-heading of "Arcane, Divine, and Martial characters."...

Gotta be CE, I figure if the paladin is cool with a CG character, they're cool with a LE character. They share an alignment axis at least. Seriously in my group I usually ask the players to prioritize their alignments. Ultimately the paladin will find time when the law directly goes against...
