    How many books did you buy after the three core books?

    I counted all of the dungeon tiles I've bought as 1 product, and each of the "Against the giants" boosters I bought as 1, didn't count DDI, and didn't count keep on the shadowfell (only adventure i bought) because i actually bought it BEFORE the 4e books came out. I put 7, but I'm beginning to...

    Pokémon to WoW to D&D: Gabe's Journey

    if I use acid-damage on you will you not be able to regenerate? First, every D&D player I've ever known in my entire life save one person has switched to 4e and been at least accepting if not incredibly satisfied. In addition to this I've seen new groups spawn up and teach players for the...

    Pokémon to WoW to D&D: Gabe's Journey

    Realizing penny-arcade has been around for 10 years makes me feel oooooooooold.

    Dungeon Adventure Levels

    If you're going to map all these out, I would recommend (at the least) including adventures physically published by WotC as well as what's in dungeon. H1 was actually published before the 4e books came out, so I think there is something of an assumption that many groups will start off with that...

    Pokémon to WoW to D&D: Gabe's Journey

    Also, most people know of them by their internet handles, rather than by their real names. calling them by their real names might lead some people to not realize the significance of who they are.

    Pokémon to WoW to D&D: Gabe's Journey

    For some reason, even with a story like Yawgmoth/Phyrexia, the concept of a "Raid Deck" for magic doesn't click with me. Which makes me quite sad because I'd really rather not invest in WoW TCG even though I enjoyed the raid decks thoroughly when playing with some of my actual computer WoW...

    Playtest: Primal Power

    If I may point to the article itself regarding tribal feats: The feats just seen mechanically will mostly just be boring groupthink at best or at worst "telling other people how to play their character". But when used as flavor, they can not only be mechanically useful, but feel like a part...

    Help me understand "The Delve"

    I found another article detailing Delves, and in fact includes an excerpt from the book itself. Dungeon Delve: Summer's End Interestingly, this one spans several pages. is the book that's coming really only 160 pages?

    Brawling!

    You could probably run a brawl as a modified skill challenge using skills like endurance, athletics, intimidate, and streetwise. Also, you could let just a plain old attack roll without a weapon suffice, which is essentially a jack-of-all-trades skill check when you only add your STR mod and...

    Help me understand "The Delve"

    I definitely do like the format. I found this link: Mystery Dungeon Delve at NYCC detailing how they wanted delves formatted for new york comic-con. Would people who regularly participate in them consider these overly stringent or par for the course (excepting the parts about 13+ content...

    Help me understand "The Delve"

    I understand the product itself. However, I've gotten the impression - while reading about this book - that the term delve has relevance beyond the book. Kind of like the "5 room dungeon" or the "mega dungeon" or the "one-shot"

    Help me understand "The Delve"

    With the coming of "dungeon delve" on march 3rd (damn printing errors!) my excitement grows! However, I'm relatively new to the concept of the delve, and I'd like some extra details. What defines a delve, as in what are characteristics all delves MUST have or even most delves will have? Where...

    Maximize your miniature dollar

    Ah, I hadn't realized that Against the Giants was the only set that yielded huge miniatures. Did they previously always come as standalone sells?

    Maximize your miniature dollar

    All good suggestions. One tangent: out of all the DDM sets that exist right now, what would be the cheapest to buy, in-box, to yield huge minis. Also, is that a huge price differential from just picking up the huge minis on the secondary market?

    Dominion

    What are some clever combos and counters anyone has discovered? Obviously most two card combos rely on you playing a village or some other action enhancer unless the first combo card replaces itself, but still. for example: Council room + militia. so much for an advantage for your opponents...

    Maximize your miniature dollar

    There actually WAS an encounter like that, wherein a party of 5 level 6 PCs took on enough level 9 orc minions, represented as M&Ms, in a gladiatorial arena as XP totals would allow (re: alot). Whenever you killed the minion, you got to eat the M&M. The wizard was a happy man that day :-P

    Maximize your miniature dollar

    Haha, very clever :-P I actually do use pennies or glass beads to represent minions. However, since my roommate bought a copy of zombies!!!, I may start using those as minions.

    Maximize your miniature dollar

    sorry, but what is WFB? also do you have a link to these minis? I'd like to see what they look like.

    Megadungeon Sandbox and 4E

    I take the same issue with the concept of fetishization of balance in this thread as I did in another: There's nothing wrong with balance. Listen, everything in D&D is a guideline, you get to break it at your discretion. However, you are creating _more_ work for yourself. Sometimes guidelines...
