    D&D 4E Essentials isn't 4.5e, but is 4e as we know it over?

    I'd suggest a PHB - complete and revised - volume. Errata included and the three PHB's. What a monster!!

    Review of the RPGA Reward "Tomb of Horrors"

    Has this been sent to European pips yet? I've tried to find the rewards section on the RPGA website, but have rolled a 1 on the d6 and got lost in the website wilderness...

    Essentials nostalgia - the death of martial healing

    It is obvious that Essentials will get DDI support and releasing subclasses for classes not in the hard copy would be logical. I'd look there for support for the warlord. I don't think that WOTC is gunning for martial healing, but it was probably not top of their list to include. The WARLORD...

    Has Lovecraft become required reading?

    Is he suppose to be "scary"? I dont think so. It is suppose to evoke an emotional response, possibly more of a a disturbed feeling, unsettled, with a hint of madness. I don't doubt his influence, it's huge. His writing style is very heavy, sometimes a bit of a slog, so not everyone's cup of...

    Anyone else have problems with the DDI tools?

    The only problem I have with DDI tools is that they won't update behind my authenticated proxy in work. I haven't noticed any math errors, if something doesn't calculate I assume it is because i'm trying to do something that isn't legal by RAW. Maybe I have too much faith in these tools :d..

    Wizards, Spellbooks, and Spell Replacement

    My understanding is that you can replace any of those daily options with two daily spells of 15 level or lower. So you could swap one of the options for a 15th level and keep one of your existing spells or pick two new 15th level spells to choose between.

    Essentials Cleric

    wow. My internal 4e parser threw up a load of errors when I tried reading that article - looks like I'll have to try a previous version of the software, maybe even go back to v1.5. This is a good thing! Anyway, I'm having a bit of trouble fitting this in with the rest of the classes ATM; 4e has...

    "Not 4.5" is coming soon. Thoughts?

    It has been confirmed in posts by Mearls and Wotc_Trevor (I think?!?) that these are new builds and not new classes or rule updates. I think they were likened to sub-classes because they play differently than other builds - but that is just my speculation. I'm not sure what 4.5 actually means...

    4e: big change in essentials: no more daily powers!

    Yey, I'm chuffed they are attempting to change around some of the power structures for 4e. I'm very interested in what they come up with. 4e, 4.5e: bleah; whatever... This is the best news in ages...

    HS1 - The Slaying Stone - my poor reviewing skills review

    Read most of the adventure there yesterday - nice breakfast reading - and I was very pleased with it. Nice setting, lots of scope for a memorable adventure. I think I'll be putting lots of comic relief encounter with the goblins, using some of the ideas from Paizo's Monsters Revisited or some...

    D&D 4E [4e] List of Classes and Races in the Essentials product line

    Pretty much all new stuff apart from some essential feats; that's what's been said by the team. The point of the essentials is to broaden the audience, get some new gamers into the fold.

    4th ed's adventure layout: best thing it has brought to D&D?

    I've started reading through that module last night and have found it much more readable than previous WotC published adventures. HS1 seemed a little on the skimpy side when I skimmed through it, but there is plenty of scope to expand it. I'm pleasantly surprised.

    Cloak of the Walking Wounded

    Double damage dice all the monsters you throw at them. It is no fun not having a challenge. It is known that the MM - and to some extent the MM2 - monsters are light on damage. Time to "up" their damage. My double dice rule of thumb is very simple: I used Evistros in my game last night and...

    Newbie DM + group experience

    I'd suggest focusing on the fun, storytelling and roleplay and not the rules for the first few months. The rule knowledge will come, abet slowly. Sure my group has been DND gaming together for nearly twenty years and it took us a month or two of weekly DND session to get comfortable with 4e -...

    Preview of the new D&D COmic!

    I have to say it brought a smile to my face. They really have captured 'DND' in a comic, I might bite for some chuckles - whole reason for reading comics IMO.

    D&D 4E Converting Builder (*.dnd4e) files into other formats.

    The information your looking for isn't stored in the file it is pulled from the encrypted database in the CB. So a lot of the text is missing. I wish the CB had more flexibility for doing this sort of thing, it needs a bunch of character sheet templates and scripts for pulling out information...
