A while back a friend of mine was flipping through (IIRC) the World of Darkness Combat book. He was surprised to find damage ratings for something like an industrial drill press and doing a burnout with a motorcycle on somebody's face. He couldn't figure out why they'd put that in a book. As...

I thought the art and layout were very well done. Art is really subjective, but I was impressed.

IIRC, the general idea for the sorcerer is that he's barely in control of the power. It's powerful, but may have side effects, good and bad. Like if you use a cold attack spell it puts a frost armor effect on you to damage/slow melee attackers. Pretty sure I saw a very small blurb about that...

As far as I can gather, here's what's up. Minions are just like regular creatures, except they're pretty much only supposed to be melee critters. (DMG 54-55) Given that, I'd guess you probably use the monster design steps (DMG 184), but don't apply any of the modifiers in the table "Monster...

Yep, the DDi one isn't out yet. Here are what seem to be the leading free ones. No disrespect intended if I miss someone. RPtools http://rptools.net/doku.php My personal favorite. They've really grown in functionality and have other tools like dice rollers and token makers available too...

Dude! Your players pay for your books?! I can't wait to DM for your players. :cool:

Walmart.com had the giftset for $56, iirc, with free shipping to your local Walmart. Shipping to your home wasn't bad.

It is a scientifically proven fact, the more secret and truthful information is, the more likely it is to appear on Wikipedia. Wikipedia even says so. Hmmm, no, it actually doesn't. Hang on, I'll go fix that... ;)

As an alternate, I also just found the core giftset at Walmart.com, although they have it filed under video games. It was around $52-53, plus tax and shipping. I you have it shipped to your local Wal-Mart, there's no charge for shipping and takes about a week. I'm no longer a Wal-Mart...

I don't feel so good after reading that.

All the 4e excitement is what brought me back. :)

Oops. Ok, now that I've reread the article, I have to agree with Khaim. It's specifically talking about magic items there. Plus, the tables use the gems' gp values interchangeably with the coinage. That'd be a rather consistent typo or an awfully bad decision. I'm not inclined to believe...

Where does the 1/5 figure come from anyway? From the d20 srd at http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/wealthAndMoney.htm: I can see half value on a beaten up sword or suit of armor that failed its previous owner, but not gems and such.

There's been a healthy discussion of whether or not people are planning to use the virtual table top to play online. However, it occurred to me that this could really be a boon for organized play groups like the RPGA. I never really participated in RPGA since there wasn't much going on near...

Let me give another shout out to MapTool. I just found the newest upgrade (new to me at least) and it really blew me away. I'd love to do DDI, as long as they can deliver on what they promise. Even if I just end up exporting stuff to use in MapTool, the most likely scenario, if the stuff like...

The truth contained in those eight words lets me rest easy that it'll be at least another edition of D&D beyond this one before gaming stops being the true sport of nerds, myself included. Honestly, is there anything else that reinforces the basement-dwelling-socially-inept stereotype we get...

I admit my google-fu is lacking. Can anyone point me toward any official WotC info on the pricing and availability dates of DDI? Is there anything official yet?

With the action points and healing surges being part of 4e, I may have found a way to get around a problem I had in the past. In an old 2e game, just by die rolls, the party ended up with what they jokingly called the Golf Bag of +1 Swords. As far as they were concerned, the things rained from...

You win, Shroomy! Pick up your prize and tote bag at the service desk. :lol:

That hadn't occurred to me when I popped the top on this can of worms, but I do like the way you think. :D
