My overland/regional maps are not a problem: I run FR so have plenty to choose from. But my dungeon maps are normally pretty crappy. I prefer short 3-5 encounter "delves" for my dungeons/site adventures and I simply lack anything resembling artistic talent. But I do have hundreds of maps on my...

I voted Leader simply because I love the tactical warlord. I actually played for the first time in 25 years the other weekend (I have always DMed) just so I could play one because I enjoyed watching them from the other side of the screen and it did not disappoint! I think my next favourite role...

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

Yes I am enjoying his art more and more.

I like to use the monster builder to increase the level of the main NPC/monster, as required, and then add extra minions until your XP budget is reached. If you're trying to stay within the XP budget, just replace normal monsters with minion versions. This is also truly easy to do with the...

Exactly. I've always wondered if a 100 minion battle could be done and you've gone an done it. Bravo!

Mate, you're an incredibly creative DM... which is why I can't seem to give you more XP. You post too many good things! It sounds like a great campaign. Thanks for sharing your creations with the rest of us!

My condolences to all who have been affected. This is one of the many aspects I hate, loathe and detest about large US corporates (in particular); somehow churning through staff is seen as a virtue. On a positive note, my understanding is that salaries in this (pseudo-) industry are...

I run my games in FR and so: Eldreth Veluuthra: I love my racist Nazi elves as Sammael mentioned above. Zhentarim: As I ignore FR novels, my Zhentarim have always been ruthlessly and clinically efficient. I love the mix of beholders, clerics, wizards and organised soldiers. The League of Six...

Monument of the Ancients is my favourite adventure so far published in 4E Dungeon. Scaling it up to 16th-level from 13th-level is very easy, of course, in 4E. it's got a nice mix of combat and non-combat challenges.

These two threads prompted me to go back and re-read Temple of Elemental Evil with a fresh set of eyes. As I have mentioned in both threads, I thoroughly dislike the adventure as written, and most of that is because of the outstanding background that EGG wrote but never actually utilised in the...

I haven't used it, yet!, but I always loved the idea of the plot running the background while the campaign's main plot advances. I suppose that's where it has been the biggest influence for me: to consider including parallel multi-level mini-plots (maybe I'm just slow: I realise that a lot of...

4E: Favourite: Monument of the Ancients. Great maps. Interesting NPCs. Skill challenges that work. Lots of room to develop it further. Brilliant and soon to be the centrepiece of my next campaign. Least Favourite: Scales of War adventure path (I just loathe this pseudo-AP so much I will just...

Thanks for your concern but, no, I am using the word "all" literally, and unlike most people on the internet I am using the word "literally", literally. ;) I will be really specific now. The Quick Start Rules that are freely available provide details of all of the conditions. The Updates that...

Thanks for picking that up. Dazed doesn't appear in the compendium. I've searched and search and it's definitely an omission. Here's an updated version including the dazed condition.

I agree with you on Night Below (although it needs A LOT of DM work), and I think Gates of Firestorm Peak is another classic and one I am itching to run in 4E (I also like Bruce Cordell's other late-2E era adventure The Shattered Circle and suspect that would have been considered a classic if...

It's all available on the WotC website. It's just a complilation (otherwise I wouldn't do it).

I'm glad I brought it to your attention. I found it about a decade or so ago, I think from an ENWorld link. I remember laughing with tears rolling down my cheeks.

I would go with eladrin tactical warlord. Being able to fey step to support the characters might prove handy, not to mention the other usual warlord benefits.

This is a better one page version. Edit: Deleted: updated with dazed below. I hadn't realised that the Compendium didn't include dazed as a condition!
