i was just thinking there would have to be a benefit one would have to give up in order to be a full blown other class. epic destiny would make sense, and since epic destinies are the most chock full of weird game changing abilities besides the class features themselves, it seems like a...

I would like to know, when it comes out, if they will release a multiclass feat for wizard implement specialization to finally fix the Wizard + Tactical Warlord = Wizard of the spiral tower issue. For those of you who don’t remember: while the wizard multiclass offers PROFICIENCY with all...

I’ve tried listening to other 4th edition podcasts, but none of them have really rung true for me the way these do. Am I just starstruck by the PA/PVP guys (I read both comics)? Are there any other good session podcasts out there? Also I particularly enjoyed this weeks because I felt that...

oops... my first double post. Sorry!

This reminds me, one of the things that appealed to me about alternity were the ship design rules. They were decidedly robust, if a little unwieldy and impractical. There was also the issue that players had to build characters specifically with piloting in mind to have a hope of succeeding...

I also play a melee cleric so I thought I would share my experiences as of level 9. Dwarf Cleric of Kord, +2 Wis +2 con. Stats: STR 18 0 +1 +1 20 CON 13 +2 0 0 15 DEX 8 0 0 0 9 INT 10 0 0 0 10 WIS 12 +2 +1 +1 16 CHA 11 0 0 0...

i remember buying those books many ages ago and being so entranced by the possibilities, only to ultimately be unable to get a decent group going! i screamed bloody murder when wotc cancelled the alternity line, but ultimately came to believe that too much of what we internalize as RPG mechanics...

I read the blurb but i'm still a bit confused. is this supposed to be fiction or a documentary?

In total it ended up taking us six hours to complete. I initially had trepidation about paragon tier but having been up to level 9 in a home game i was able to digest most of the powers pretty quickly. I was initially excited to see the tiles being used to make maps, but the village square...

this is something my group struggles with constantly. we joke about busting out sand timers, and i've even bought some (they're surreptitiously presented as being for our boardgames). Sometimes people just can't seem to think about their turn except when it is their turn. I've tried a couple...

That’s interesting, Rechan, it sounds like we both played the same character. The D-born paladin of bahamut. I said things with my mark like “calling upon the valor of bahamut for divine justice” and people, including the DM seemed mostly on board. It sounds like you really did have a bad...

It’s strange, I see the humor tag but all I see is maudlin. Do you know what the real joke is here? The people who made the joke that spawned this thread are PLAYING fourth. What’s more, most of their jokes originating with things re: their fake fantasy setting are a product of publications...

I can’t say that I shared your experience. This was my first time going to a con-style event and playing with strangers and it worked out smashingly. I met 5 brand new people that day to play with, including a gentleman who had never played 4th edition before, and one of the other players...

WoW:TCG and Duel Masters essentially play like magic without land. In wow, there are effectively no colors because the deck constraints come during deck building (you HAVE to play cards with keywords matching your heroes as opposed to magic's you SHOULD play cards that are of your colors)...

Ironically, despite my player’s professed dislike for modules, they ended up latching on to several iconic elements from KotS. They were so enamoured by the mayor from their hometown, I had to make Douvan Stahl a recurring character. Also, much like the penny-arcade group, they found endless...

I've used dungeon tiles. I've recreated other people's maps using a battlemat and a dry erase. Dungeon Tiles just plain LOOK better and are COMPELLING, compared to lines as i end up taking a wide swath at someone's meticulously curlicued cave that is so much more creative than a set of tiles...

I don’t really get the “marketing constraint” quip. At the time delve came out, I already owned all of the tile sets it uses and was pleased to see unique ways to arrange them all and make use of them. I think this is a logical fallacy that many on these boards have: it’s not a greedy...

the second part of the article, about verisimilitude, struck pretty close for us. Our current DM takes great joy and pride in world building and creating believable worlds. To his credit, he is also eager to adapt to what a party decides to do and roll with it. Unfortunately, the two do not...

I was very pleased to see this. I love dungeon delve as a resource (so far, haven't gotten to try it out. Maybe tonight since the usual DM is MIA). While I felt that the canonical list of tiles and minis (minis especially) was likely unnecessary, I was very glad to see a summary of treasure...

the old 70s esque one with sliding tiles and a very obvious david bowie owl :-P
