    Homebrew Race/Class rules.

    I'll add my voice to those suggesting that this is not a good idea. I'd say let them play what they like, and then work with them to create a cool, coherent backstory that fits in all of their characters. Or outright ban certain classes and races if you don't want them in your game. But don't...

    Geralt from Witcher stats?

    Yeah, Swordmage was the class I thought of first when I thought about Geralt.

    Yeah. What Aulirophile said.

    Dungeon Magazine Annual TOC?

    I've run Icy Spire. It's a pretty weak adventure. Nothing particularly special or cool about it at all, really.

    Cool, I like James Wyatt. Congratulations!

    If you gaze into the Abyss . . .

    Wow, sounds like an awesome game. Where do you find players like this? All of the guys I can find to DM for pretty much just want to kill everything and be tactical geniuses in combat.

    GM Prep Time - Cognitive Dissonance in Encounter Design?

    So, I've gotten ahold of a few Paizo adventures, including Burnt Offerings, and looked through them, reading some parts here and there... These are WAY better than WotC adventures! The people saying that Paizo makes great adventures are right. Paizo's adventures are far superior. Why isn't...

    Paladin/Sorceror Hybrid - 3 in 1 implement/weapon?

    I can see how one could make a RAW argument against it, but I'd definitely allow it. It seems to fit well enough with the spirit of the rules for hybrids and the intended usefulness level of the feat.

    DMs: What Powers Do PCs Get That You Hate?

    I don't have any problem with Come and Get It. I am a bit baffled at the amount of hate leveled at this power, to be honest. I've seen one thing that's unquestionably true about it: players really enjoy using it. The guy playing the Fighter almost always has a lot of fun with Come and Get...

    Mearls is the new manager of D&D

    I don't know Mike Mearls personally, I've never spoken with him or anything, but I have kept an eye on what he's had to say over the last couple of years. I've listened to him on podcasts, watched interviews with him, read his blog and forum posts, and so on. He's given me a good impression...

    Why arn't Controllers Sexy

    I don't mean that if you had both powers, you'd always want to use Winged Horde. Obviously that's not the case. I just mean that for me personally, mechanically speaking, if I have to choose to have one or the other power, I'd always choose Winged Horde. The only reason I'd choose to take...

    The Plane Above - the Glorantha-fication of D&D?

    It's too bad that the adventures written for 4E don't match up to the coolness of the flavor/background/campaign advice text in the more recent rulebooks.

    Why arn't Controllers Sexy

    I think that unless the property is worded specifically to say that you have to be attacking with that weapon/implement, they both apply if you have two different magic weapons/implements in your hands. So the Master's Wand of Magic Missile + Petrified Orb combo should work, and be legal. But...

    NEW (AGAIN)- Thunderspire Labyrinth- Stat analysis #25 Shrine to Baphomet

    Looks like your PCs are gonna mop this one up, too. Kinda too bad about the failed surprise round. But I'll bet it made the players feel cool, so that's good.

    Facing Orcus (Update: Included Mesh Hongs Campaign - Heroic Tier)

    Holy crap, there's so much awesome there. Man, I want to play in your game. Sounds like an amazing campaign.

    Roundabout Charge

    No, I think you definitely have to still follow any rules for charging. If you could ignore the charge requirements with this power, I think the power text would call that out specifically. Since it doesn't, I'd definitely stick with the charging rules here. So, if there was no other enemy...

    Modules, it turns out, apparently DO sell

    Sounds like an awesome podcast. I'll listen to it for sure.

    What will Masterplan be after the C&D?

    It's weird that not a word of explanation has surfaced for why Masterplan is suddenly gone. I wonder what the deal is...

    I quit 4e-DM after my first day.

    You've just given me material for my game.
