I personally haven't gotten dungeon tiles, as I can't really afford them; however, I really like the concept! Keep in mind you can also drop tiles onto a battlegrid to "enhance" your dungeon, so they can actually see that fountain there, or w/e. A combination of the two could work. Though...

I was about to say "well, yeah, but how the heck are they going to find it?". Then I realized you could probably just get two or three separate people to order it then compare the PDFs to find the differences... gotta love how we can do stuff like that (I'd imagine with ease) with digital media.

QFE. Honestly, a player who'll write up a solid backstory (without you bugging the crap out of them) that you can use to tie into your campaign is awesome :D It will also make things more fun for you, the player.

Thanks for the advice, guys! :D Though I won't comment on every individual post, I found it all useful. This, unfortunately, gets about the same level of reaction as asking for critique on my DMing ;) I spent weeks at one point trying to gather from people what sort of game they'd like to play...

The biggest thing I think needs to be changed on the website is making it more obvious where you purchase the battlegraphs. For example, clicking the "pre-order today!" button causes you to jump back to... the top of the same page. Make an anchor that drops the person down to the bottom where...

Disclaimer: I used some exaggeration from actual examples that came to mind. If anyone I play with sees this, it's not necessarily a comment on that particular situation, it's just the first thing I thought of that could've been changed around a bit to make a good example. Above all else...

I'm in a bit of a weird position. I'll admit, I download PDFs illegally, but for one of three reasons: Skimming it to see if I want to purchase the book. The closest game store with any semblance of a large supply of books is about 40mins away, so I don't have a lot of opportunities to go...

Calling out for the next week would be bad news; if anything, you'd want to do damage control. But honestly, it's not THAT bad...

Actually, also I think Wizards is completely, absolutely, 100% within their rights to cut PDF sales. Doesn't mean I think it was the wisest business decision, but as a company they're more than justified (of course if they broke a contract, that's another story, but I'm not getting into that).

Everything for 4e is already available (illegally) online. Even the starter set, the character sheets product, dungeon tiles, the DM screen, etc. Sure, the ones you can't buy are scans, but the point is that it's already out there. Well, OK, I haven't seen the official PHB power cards anywhere...

One thing I'd really like to do is improve my DMing skills. With D&D 4e, I've really taken to DMing :D I've read the 4e DMG front-to-back, looked through KotS, read Dungeon every month, etc. I now have a couple months of DMing experience under my belt, which has certainly helped to make things...

Cluttered I suppose wasn't the right word. Busy or cramped fits a bit better. Or just "the boxes are small," haha. Like I said, I haven't actually played with it, so it's hard to judge... I think it's just my dislike for the official character sheet that makes me wary of sheets with a lot going...

I like it! I have the following critiques, but honestly it's really just nitpicking as there aren't any major problems with the sheet. The attributes section, IMO, seems a bit over-complicated; however, I could understand someone wanting it as-is. What's the "Special Abilities" section for? I...

My first thought was "stop people from getting illegal copies of PDFs," but people are bound to just scan everything anyway (they already do for things without an official PDF). The guess that they might intend to sell them themselves is a logical possibility. Another guess is that they might be...

Yeah, I like the Notes idea as it's nicer to have your reminders in one spot rather than scattered across the sheet. As far as making more room, I could move the at-will and utility powers boxes down a tiny bit, which would net about another line's worth of space. Keep in mind though, the Notes...

Well, I did make this at something like 4am last night :D As far as the daily/encounter powers, it's meant to be written in a way that you remember what it does w/o being incredibly detailed, so for example "Burst 1 w/in 10, +7 vs AC, Hit: 2d8+6dmg, dazed (SE); Miss: 1/2 dmg, dazed 'til end of...

After looking all over, I realized I couldn't find a one-page one-sided character sheet. So, I made an attempt at putting something together. Unfortunately, all I've really got to work with is Microsoft Word, not Publisher, so it's not exactly how I'd like it. Basically, the sheet is meant to...

Any time! If you need anything else, just ask :) Good point! I keep forgetting it's free for levels 1-3. llcj20, you can download the trial for the official character builder here. The trial covers making characters level 1-3 (I think from just the original PHB content?), and it's useful for...

Chapter 2 in the Player's Handbook should help you a lot. Make sure to check out pages 30 and 31, those cover what all the various spots on the character sheet should have in them. Also, what level character are you making? BTW, though I'm explaining this here, you should try asking another...

Maybe a save against death? Or, perhaps, if they make the save then they "die" but get back up in the next round of combat (unless it was fire/acid damage, of course). Something like that would make sense, IMO. Trolls are a bit weird to have as a minion because they have the stereotypical brute...
