    Can one PC choose not to take a rest? (Dark Spiral Aura and Rod of Corruption woes.)

    It'll become less of an issue as he levels up, as well -- when you're forgoing one use of an encounter power each encounter, so what? But when you're giving up four uses, that's a more significant problem.

    Tact-Tiles: The End

    Great Victory does have the trademark on Tact-Tiles; presumably the former seller (not Void Star) let that trademark go. Ashrem Bayle has claimed several times that he owns the license, and I imagine he's acting in good faith, but he definitely doesn't own the trademark. I don't think his work...

    GF9's new Dungeons & Dragons Game Mats

    Man, that road is gorgeous but I'm a bit spoiled for dry-erase since Paizo's mats allow it. Also, they're easier to transport. but wow, pretty road.

    DDI and IPAD

    Entire podcasts, or individual episodes? You can delete individual episodes on the iPhone, so I would assume you can on the iPad. Edit: regarding PDFs, see this thread. People seem quite happy. I played with an iPad briefly this morning and I'm not surprised; the screen is really lovely.

    DDI and IPAD

    Oh, we're totally on the same page, yeah. Sorry! I am personally not making any real bets on speed till I get my hands on one, because what really matters is speed for the stuff any individual user cares about. There are a couple of combat trackers for the iPhone, but nothing that really...

    DDI and IPAD

    Not to be rude, but how do you know how powerful the iPad processor is? It's developed in-house. It's certainly true that ARM processors as found in your typical mobile device are slower than the Atom processor found in a current netbook. It's also almost certainly true that the A4 is ARM-based...

    DDI and IPAD

    Oh ye of little faith. The guy who wrote Dicenomicon has Maptool running on the iPhone, and there's a nice screenshot of it running on the iPad emulator at that link. I imagine he had to rewrite the client, since as far as I know Java doesn't run on the iPad, but apparently it's not impossible...

    Thanks, that's excellent stuff!

    WotC and brick and mortar retail stores - Greg Leeds weighs in

    I can't speak to the UK, but Amazon absolutely doesn't break street dates in the US. I have heard that they break street dates in Japan. B&N online also does not break street dates. Books-A-Million broke street date on Divine Power and hasn't broke street date since that I'm aware of.

    WotC and brick and mortar retail stores - Greg Leeds weighs in

    Third guy is just grinding his axe. None of my local big box bookstores had PHB3 as early as my FLGS. You couldn't get PHB3 online from either Amazon or B&N before the official release date. You could get it from local game stores a couple of weeks early, because any game store that participates...

    D&D 4E The Deadmines in 4e

    >.> I've been thinking about running my paragon sorcerer through heroic tier LFR adventures, just to see what he can solo.

    New Realms = Old School

    I would say that it doesn't undermine it at all -- you'd certainly be crawling in the same world. Sharing campaign logs and experiences is way kosher. In theory, if you had a group of three DMs, you couldn't all say "OK, this is what's in hex A8, whoever has a group there first should run it"...

    Hammerfast Hex Map -- I Saw What You Did Thar

    P1 (Trollhaunt) is outside the Vale. H3 is sort of outside the Vale -- you get a little bit northwards before you enter it, and there's some extraplanar action happening. I don't think any of the remainder are in the Vale. At most you could argue that some of them are under the Vale, but that's...

    New Realms = Old School

    That's pretty hot. Are you going to go with "choose your own magic item" and all? I guess that works better if you're fixing to the four hour slot time period.

    New Realms = Old School

    The key here is that it's player choice. This is probably going to be the biggest source of dissonance. I think if I were trying to do hexcrawling, I'd ask my players to agree to forfeit their choice -- or more specifically, allow me to choose for them. This isn't against the rules, but does...

    New Realms = Old School

    I was thinking about this for a local hexcrawl campaign, actually, although I stopped short of recommending it -- no reason they should change from something that's already working for them. The trick is to treat each encounter as a single MYRE adventure, which really ramps up the amount of...
