    Making your own power cards

    I have old Adobe acrobat 6 installed which itself installs a PDF-Printer. I simply printed the cards as PDF-file and voila... Attached are the Paladin powers and the thanx to the Script-Modder golden Primary Magic Item Cards. As you can see, the Item names are hard to read (as are the line at...

    Making your own power cards

    MSE-Templates: Because of some problems with the Paladin's Divine Challenge power and long Item names, I have somewhat modified the style-file to make more room for text using Quindia's cards. 1) Changed under section "name" the width to 300, and the font size to 14 2) Changed under section...

    Making your own power cards

    I like them and using them in MSE. Is it possible to get a silver and gold version (i want to make some item cards). Thanx... I also tried to the Photoshop-Template and i like the background power-types. It would be cool to incorporate them into the MSE-template if possible (don't know if you...

    Your group's tributes to Gary

    We played yesterday evening and had a Gygaxian Reroll of any die roll of each player's choice. In addition I let each player roll a "personal" random magic item to which name was added Gary's X or Gygax's Y.

    Design & Development: Quests

    So as a GM i'm expected to prepare a game session and I expect my players to review their notes. Another thing a GM is to do is to bring the players back on track and improvisation is part of the game and a fun part at that. Another part is for the GM to tie in the personal history/background of...

    Design & Development: Quests

    :-/ i prefer the good old way. players (characters) should make notes. if i want to have cards in a game, i would play a boardgame. i think, this is another aspect of the "new" game straying from RPGs in general. although the idea of using cards (in one way or another) is not a new one...

    40 year old man wants to join my game

    So, i tell you something, the other way around. I don't like playing with much younger people. They usually disturb the game, are loud, want to drink at the gaming table, always tell jokes, and don't fit my group. We are all 35+ (5 people), oldest is 39. But to be serious: if you think he is...

    Wands and Mage Hand - Your opinion...

    Have it. DMG 218 command word activation: can be used for items which activation method is not suggested. since wands have spell trigger activation suggested - no command words... so it was my fault, to introduce a wand with command word...

    Wands and Mage Hand - Your opinion...

    Any RAW-reference so i can show the player...? I thought (in the case of CLW wand) the wand has to touch the target - I always imagined a character activating the wand which will "glow" and when the target is touched with the wand the "glow fades" and the charge is used... Well, its a wand...

    Wands and Mage Hand - Your opinion...

    hi folk, since i can find nothing official, i have a question for you... our sorcerer has aquired the mage hand spell. now, he ties a cure light wounds spell to a piece of clothes and has the habit to activate the wand, then uses mage hand to move the cloth (since he cannot move the wand...

    D&D 4E 4e Aging

    Hi @all Here's another topic for discussion: I would like to have aging a more important role in the game. This was the case with older editions, where you could age because of a banshee's wail or some spell's effects. As it stands now (3.5), actual age has no effect at all with the exception...

    D&D 4E 4e Special Ability PER Encounter stinks...

    Yup. Was perhaps not the best example to use a paladin's at-will-detect-evil-ability here. What i wanted to show, is the application of some outside-combat ability in combination with non-combat encounters. Essentially, using abilities with an annotation of X/encounter boils down to: - is use...

    D&D 4E 4e Special Ability PER Encounter stinks...

    so, all of you talking about combat or so it seems...but what about non-combat situations where there is no adrenalin... say the paladin's detect evil...say useable 1/encounter...(formerly at will). he is moving through a ...yes you guess it... dungeon. now is each room an encounter...each area...

    D&D 4E 4e Special Ability PER Encounter stinks...

    My saying...so perhaps a definition of encounter should be made...currently an encounter can be anything from examining a fountain in a ruined hallway, the solving of a riddle to open a puzzle-door or agood old headbashing meeting with ogres...

    D&D 4E 4e Special Ability PER Encounter stinks...

    ok, the title is perhaps somewhat provoking (or not) but what does anyone think of special abilities useable X-times per encounter? i personally do not like this approach, because encounter is something which can be from a short battle to a long battle, or even not be a combat encounter at...

    Design & Dev: Monsters (DRAGONS!)

    I also have mixed feelings with this combat example. On one hand it reads spectacular, on the other it seems that combat becomes more complicated. As I read it correctly, the dragon has free actions, two standard actions, one move action and one immediate action per round. The whole combat...

    D&D 4E 4E Miniatures & Adventures

    Well, time. I have even barely time to properly prep an adventure let alone make one... I always had a gripe with WOTC-adventures: open door. fight monster. search room. open door. fight monster. search room. open door. search room. wait...no monsters? surprise, surprise...open door... The one...

    D&D 4E 4E Miniatures & Adventures

    Hi @all! Anyone heard anything about how heavily 4e will depend on miniature use? I secretly fear, that miniature will become mandatory and the last couple of WoTC's adventure modules seem to confirm this...Which also means, I fear future adventure modules packed with only fights, no...
