I've played and run plenty of fantasy and sci-fi games. Generally, I prefer fantasy. There are a few reasons, the validity of which I won't defend past the end of my keyboard. 1. Escapism is one of the big reasons I play. Its easier for me to escape into a very fantasy setting than a...

Its been a long time since I've really read my Dark Sun stuff. Did you reference that at all when working on this or is the name a coincidence? Just curious.

I play WoW mainly because I can't get a D&D game.

I'd love to see Dark Sun when they get around putting psionics into a PHB. Hopefully right after Eberron next year, but it wouldn't surprise me if the decided to go for Dragonlance first.

It seems to fit within the letter of the rule and the spirit of the class. After all, we're talking about characters willing to bargain bits of their soul for a little more power. If you're willing to do that, is dragging a dagger across your hand for an extra blast of damage that big of a...

Nope. I played one in all three sections of the Weekened in the Realms on Saturday. I had a great time. No, I wasn't doing rockstar damage or holding off hordes of enemies singlehandedly, but the people who did were plenty glad to have me around. Every time I used my standard action to tell...

Thanks for the heads up on this Graf. Tonight I bought a subscription. As soon as I got into the pay content, I zapped the payment info and put in a ticket for removing auto-renew. After that, I sent another message through the help system that explained I was pretty ticked off that I had to...

Why is "Bite" listed as a Weapon attack?

I've had good results with OpenOffice and PrimoPDF.

What if you removed the role template (e.g. soldier, skirmisher) from the monster first? Since the core concept of 4e is simple rules with many exceptions, what if the basic monster creation guidelines are the rule and all the roles are the exceptions?

Before I moved, my group had regular once-a-month games. I ran one and a friend ran the other. Both games ran about two years each. Scheduling was tough and it was accepted that is was an all-day affair. We'd arrive around Noon and play until 11pm or so, with a break for supper. Lots of...

For a neat modern example, do a little digging into what the city of Chernobyl is like today. It's been largely uninhabited for more than 20 years now. Your local library might have access to a documentary or two you can watch as well. Kind of creepy to see what has survived and what hasn't.

greyscale1 is right on. Take a look at the combat chapter, in the section that describes the combat conditions.

We're just getting started with MapTool and Ventrilo. The tests I've done so far have gone well, we just can't seem to get a game scheduled.

From what I could tell, you use the basic monster creation rules, but you don't add any of the adjustments for Solo, Elite, Soldier, etc. Then just give them one hit point. Doing a couple spot checks, that got me close to a few random minions I looked at in the MM.

That is some very nice work. You should really think about seeing if you can make a buck or two with talent like that. Not that I don't like getting good quality stuff for free, mind you. :D

We saw quite a few cows dead on release day. I'm not counting out anything.

I had a good time just for getting to play anything. Been way too long for me. It could have gone better, but our GM was having some trouble. I don't think he got the adventure more than a few minutes before we started. On top of that, he had the continuing damage effects and healing surges...

Necromancer Games and Goodman Games are the only ones I know have announced 4e support already. Necromancer has announced a players' book filling some of the holes in the new PHB, a new Tome of Horrors, and some adventures. Goodman is launching a new line of adventures and a related campaign...

I believe you, but can you point me to where that is? I apparently need to re-read a section.
