Thanks for the info Thurbane. Do you know by any chance if this sale is time-limited? Our "old" DM is living in Melbourne since almost 2 years and I think I'll have to shoot him an email about this sale . Perhaps he's interested in getting some of that stuff. He had to leave all his RPG books...

I'd try to put your campaign in a time where the big guilds and hanseatic leagues where still in their prime time. That would make for a very interesting political situation where the religious/royal rulers are on the one side and the economic powers are on the other. Lots of potentials for some...

I cannot search anymore as well. I "think" I paid my sub for the next year, but I am not able to confirm this since I get an error message when I try to get to "Paid subscriptions". The error I get is: Any help is appreciated Cheers Jupp

I'd be happy if the art style of 4e would go to towards Frazetta, Jeff Jones, Easley. Dark, grim, gritty sometimes with an unexpected twist of humour.Too bad that the art of some of the above isn't featuring enough clothing in order to be put into a D&D rulebook :D. I never really liked the...

Spell slots would still be ok for me. But if this memorize+fire+forget is still in 4e then I will houserule the memorize and forget part away, like I did in the last three editions. Wizards should be able to draw from all the resources they have available. The preparation of spells is just a...

Quoted for absolute truth. I personally like that the books will become smaller. It could mean that 4e will loose some of those bloating rules that made the 3.0 and 3.5 books such heavyweights. Those monsters did scare away a number of potentials players: "Ugh, I have to know all THAT? No...

I was positively surprised by the new art of Mimura. No spikey goth armor and the like. No over the top clothing. It feels quite down to earth and somehow reminds me of the older art that has been released back in 1e/2e days. I just hope that this guy gets more work to be done for 4e. I is my...

First I had to blink two times and look at the picture again. Then I just had to laugh out loud when I saw Gary's T-shirt. Cannot be more Swiss than that :lol: For those in the dark: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B6schti Who did give Gary that gem of a T-Shirt? I did wear something very...

Actually I am quite interested with the things that 4e could bring to the gaming table. At least it is another chance for WotC to get me back as a customer after 6 years. The promise of a an easier D&D that is fast to play and good to DM does not sound too bad. But I judge 4e when I see how...

well designed means to me: - I know from the beginning at what level this module should be played. Because it is written on the cover of the book or it is written in large letters on the first page - If there are certain classes and races required then that should be writting at the very...

"Downer" was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the mini :o

I use a notebook as DM. I can play background music from my music library server over WLAN and I can look up rules and stats for the adventure. It's also quite handy to have Excel open to keep record of items that the group has found in the past. And if there is a rules question/interpretation...

Same problem here. My provider has changed its name and in about two months the old email address will stop working. So it would be super if this issue could be solved within the next two months :) cheers Jupp

Sorry I was a bit unclear. But I certainly do a make difference between "being challenged by an encounter" and "being overwhelmed by monsters that are too powerfull for the group". Just because a monster is above the power level of the group does not necessarily mean that it is so much over the...

But isn't that exactly what makes RPGs (like D&D) fun? Otherwise you could just as well sit down together and tell good night stories to each other. As a DM I constantly throw enemies at my group that are over their power level. But so far they always managed to make the right decision (run...

Our DM did try Runequest with us for about 1.5 years. After one evening of heated discussion and much lamenting from our side we decided to go back to AD&D. To tell the truth: I wont touch Runequest with a 10 foot pole for the rest of my life :uhoh:

I've played my Paladin in AD&D 2e for 9 years and brought him to Level 9 in that campaign. After that campaign we put our chars on hibernate and did not go back to them since then. But I think it will be fun when the day comes when we dig out those old char sheets and do that one last big...

I've read the term "german-style boardgame" several times in that thread and I've heard it on some occasions in the past. Being Swiss/German and all....but I cannot figure out what "german-style boardgame" means when it comes to board games. Is this just a generalizing term for builder games or...

Dungeon #112 Maure Castle One Dungeon magazine, one adventure. One of the best higher level adventures I have played in a long time. It's dungeon crawlin' at its best. If you like devastating monsters, crazy NPCs, mind-boggling locations, lots of traps and cool loot then you will like Maure...
