No it's not. That way you can always plead ignorance. ;) I'm really surprised this wasn't done from the beginning. The custom data should be in its own area, as happens with characters created with the Character Builder. I'm sure that's a basic bit of software design.

That's something I would really like to see. I build my games around something like an adventure path so any extra advice would be appreciated.

It's a shame that the right advice can be misinterpreted as a cheap shot. I wouldn't say four clerics even though they would do well. I would have two clerics and two druids. The druids can dish out damage like a wizard and scout like a rogue so they provide a little more flexibility. That's a...

I've statted up a de-leveled very young black dragon as a solo lurker 2 with a less annoying cloud of darkness ability (I've gone shadowy concealment rather than total darkness) and changed its size to Medium so I can also use one of my favourite miniatures. I've yet to test it but I think it...

Thanks, Klaus. I wasn't sure about the timing. As for the other comments, I have to agree. I was hoping for a few more ideas about laying out, and adventuring in, an aboleth city. Frankly I would have preferred that to more stat blocks. However, I do have the city of sleeping aboleths in...

The other content for today is already on the website and has been for about eight hours but I can't see the City of Aboleths article. This sometimes happens to me in Australia so I was hoping someone here already has the link for the article which is otherwise hiding from me. (I've got my...

OK, guys, I get it: it's my fault for not knowing what beta means. ;) (That's why I backed up everything as a PDF.)

True but that has very different architecture. While I am no propeller-head, I am certain that having the data files for each individual character saved in My Documents rather than within the programme files is a much better way of protecting user-generated content. And, of course, it meant...

Only WotC would create a monster builder that deleted monsters. While I did back-up all my creations as PDF files, there are more than 100 monsters I need to retype if I am to use them with the functionality that I originally expected. The reason I backed them up was I fully expected that WotC...

Asmor- thanks for posting all of this. I don't keep up with Magic and so knew nothing about this but the art is perfect for my campaign set in Akanul (the genasi lands) of the Forgotten Realms.

Before I die I want to run three campaigns in a row, one based on Midnight and two in a world like Dawnforge: Campaign One: This takes place in the world of Midnight and ends, ultimately, with the defeat of the Shadow when something like Elric's horn of change is sounded to remake the world...

Great encounters- thanks for posting!

@OP: I originally hated FR4E but subsequently became a convert and am really enjoying it... but I still hate the map. There is simply no excuse for how bad that map is. I tried re-reading some of the older novels and I just couldn't do it. I gave almost all of them away. Elaine Cunningham is an...

And in the words of the narrator of the Rocky Horror Picture Show... undt I did. Well, I saved all of them as PDFs which is close enough but I don't want to retype it all into the creator. One of the reasons was my paranoia that something would go wrong because it was software produced by WotC...

There are people also complaining on the WotC boards about the missing powers so it seems I'm not alone. I'm really browned off. The first adventure of my new campaign is in a couple of days and I built a lot of custom creatures for it.

I was building some new monsters and went to use some powers of some of my earlier custom creatures BUT, while my custom creatures still exist, all of my powers are now BLANK. 109 creatures. All that work erased. Arghhh... and here was I thinking WotC finally got its act together on an...

My responses were mainly agreed/positive but I closed with bouquets for the electronic tools (ahhh, monster builder, how I love thee...) and brickbats for their appalling track record with adventures and adventure paths (but with a compliment for Rich Baker because he can still them right).

This is great news. I use a couple of PCs so I'm glad I can share the data around.

Sounds like a great event. Congrats on the win!

At least this month he avoided telling us that he is sooooooooooooo important.
