    DMs: what have you learned from PLAYING that has made you a better DM?

    Shorter/faster and more interesting combat encounters with more role playing.

    Best map maker?

    With illustrator at least you can go buy a book and learn it... you might even be able to use those skills in RL. Is illustrator perfect? heck no. but i do feel like i have control over what i am doing. If you are going to be making large campaign sized maps you really need to use a CAD...

    Best map maker?

    I have used just about everything the people above talk about. I gave up and starting using Illustrator. Have not looked back. I have no idea why the tools made for map making suck so bad, but the day someone puts out a vector graphic mapper with a UI that is not designed by morons I will...

    D&D 4E Pre PHB2: Are we happy with WotC's maintenance of 4ED

    My case for Sure Strike not being completly suboptimal: Sure Strike + Heaby Blade Opportunity + Combat Superiority = good Sure Strike vs minon = good Sure Strike + Item power = good Is it good any other time? Maybe. But those times it is a good power to have. As for the wizard...

    Keep on the Shadowfell - Irontooth

    /wrong Our group did it the worst possable way. The outside kobolds were able to get IT to come out, we had a full fight with almost all the monsters on the board. We won. With no DM hanky panky. Was it hard? Yes. Was it the hardest encounter? Yes. Was it really bad and horably broken...

    Immobilising flying creatures

    Was this different in some other version of D&D that I don’t know about? If any creature stops flying and starts falling it always took damage… lots of it… its… well its logical. What did you want them to do? Should flying creatures be immune to immobilizing effects?

    D&D 4E Pre PHB2: Are we happy with WotC's maintenance of 4ED

    Sure Strike and Careful Attack do not break the game. They are a suboptimal choice at low level. Veteran’s Armor was much better than anything else it’s level and probably should not have made it into the book. I knew it was to good when the main power gamer in my group put it on his wish...

    You don't need silver to kill a werewolf??

    The 4e WW is just not well implemented as far as I am concerned. One of the few things that really bugs me in the MM. I lament the loss of the big bad wolf.

    WoTC Interview with Rob Heinsoo

    What? Do you think they just slapped D&D on a card game or something? Do you think the devs did such a half arse job that it should not been published? /sigh

    Was there a TSR-made 3rd Edition? Forked Thread: Why THAC0 Rocks

    Well in fact I did have my Alternity books still. In that your roll a d20 + some situational die and you are trying to not go over your skill. If you don’t go over you succeed and the lower the roll the better the result can be. So… you roll a d20 and add a modifier to it and compare it to a...

    Was there a TSR-made 3rd Edition? Forked Thread: Why THAC0 Rocks

    Alternity. To me, that was clearly the beginning of 3e. Not sure if WotC used it as a base but there were lots of rules elements that were experimented with in that. I only have my Darkmatter books (so no core rules books) so can't pull it out and check but that is how I remember it.

    Why did you subscribe to DDI?

    D&D Compendium. Something I have wanted for most of my life... kind of sad really. : ( But I am really starting to get into Dragon know... never really liked it much before. Dungeon has always been good and I like having it as a PDF. And know that I am getting to play a bit more the...
