I love the DMG2. By far the best 4e book put out so far. I'm gonna go so far as to say that even if you HATE 4e, you should go to a local book store and read the first chapter of DMing tips and tricks. Great stuff. (As apparently MadLord just suggested while i was typing my praise. Clearly...

The 3.5 D&D screen that came out with the 3.5 books (and was bundled with a d20 modern screen) is landscape format. It's a very servicable screen as far as tables go, but it's standard very flimsy screen material. Your best bet is to look into something like the Savage Worlds customizable...

Dr, I tried to model a bit of a choice in the matter by allowing for the secondary skills, but at a hard DC when still building trust/maintaining cover, and making the DCs easier as the successes along that track build. I had thought about imposing a penalty like you describe, but thought that...

Definitely planned on running them at the same time. Here's my revised challenge for Jacobius: Skill Challenge Thoughts Jacobius makes a 4/3 challenge to build up trust. Maybe 6/3? Primary: each check here is towards making Grim trust you. Each success in this challenge makes your secondary...

Thanks for the quick reply! FWIW, "Mark" is the fake name he gave the PCs at first (though he neglected to give Grim a fake name when introducing themselves, much to Grim's chagrin). I was too lazy while typing to scan through my audio recording of the session to remember what real name I...

Hey ENWorlders, I’ve been mulling over a skill challenge for my group the past few days and I’m not entirely sure how I want to run it. Your help and input is greatly appreciated. If you play in my game, GTHO of this thread. ;) My last session ended with an almost-bungled plan by the PCs...

I'd pay money just to have a backup copy of my print edition. (I mean, it is a collectors item since you signed it when I ran it at a gameday--gotta shelve that puppy!) Congratulations on writing and publishing successes, and looking forward to seeing more of it in print/in PDF. :)

It was definitely 1:45 a.m. when I wrote that, so cut me some slack, or we'll send my table full of troublemakers over to bother your nice game. ;)

Fun is ALWAYS mandatory at Gamedays, Keel. Should we be suspicious of you? :hmm:

Hey remember that time when I fell asleep in my computer chair and woke up at 1:45? Oh wait, that's right now. Welcome players, new and old alike to my 4e game. buzz, please indicate characters that are taken on my event description wen you get a chance) ejja: Ombert Paul_Klein: Erdan...

Buzz, please figure out how to clone me and add my clones to every game. So much I'd love to play. That said, I've got little to actually sign up for other than breakfast, so make that happen, please :) ejja, Ombert the halfling fighter is yours! Still available: quelenna nimuriel, eladrin...

I can say from recent experience that the more you run, the better you get. I'm really getting a kick out of being in the DM's chair again. Also, not to derail the thread, but seriously? You can't give DM feedback anymore? That's super lame!!! Okay. Thread derail over. What I love about...

It's a good philosophy, and one that I've pretty much tried to follow for everything I've ever GMed. Get an idea in your head of what you want to run, think of what'll be cool, and look for rules to fill in later.

Sign me up for an afternoon table, buzz. System: I'll either be running 4e with my regular band of heroes (though this may be a flashback even with slightly lower level characters) or Pathfinder to give it a try. Setting: Forgotten Realms, 3rd edition flavor. What: TBA for now, but I'd...

What do you think the best way to present this challenge would be? I know PC has said that he's rather fond of giving out skill challenges explicitly (even to the point of giving players a handout basically saying what he said above). Could you do this implicitly? Does it make more sense to...

I just bought a copy--I had been waiting for it to come out on PDF and forgot about it until I saw this thread. I loved the idea of it, but bringing a 400 page book to more than a few game sessions just wasn't going to happen, so a PDF was key. Thanks for keeping up the awesome work!

Yet another upvote for OSM--fantastic adventure that made my first public DMing experience an easy easy success. (And I got to have the author autograph it, as he was at our Chicago gameday!) I'm eager to see what 4e psionics look like to run an update of it. PC, your newest skill challenge...

Any word on version 2.0?

GAH. ENWorld ate a novel of a post. It and Firefox are on my list for the evening. :rant: For the Mac user who keeps on hearing about how awesome OneNote is (or one who knows first hand from work or a friend), I bring you two OS X friendly alternatives. As I've been using OneNote for a few...

You, sir, do impressive work! I sent you an email to the address you have in your profile, but not sure if that's one that you check. Let me know if it isn't!
