The Wisdom of 4th Edition. You can find it throughout the material when you least expect it. So much good and inspiring advice, much of which applies to any edition or game. For example: "The last essential component of a D&D game is fun. It’s not the DM’s job to entertain the players and make...

Oh, that! Yeah, I didn't really care for it myself. It felt like an afterthought without much reason or consequence for it. Maybe they were trying to fill in the last page to make the word count? Or more likely, they needed to throw in a Solo monster because the entire adventure seemed to lack...

There are a few leads buried within the text of Madness that provide several possible hooks to lead characters who played through Reavers. I cover some of these in this particular post from one of my related threads, RRH1: Expanding the Iron Circle.

I created it specifically for FG with the intent of using it to run 4e games on that platform. But if you stick with the Heroes of the Fallen Lands/Forgotten Kingdoms, Rules Compendium, DM Kit, and Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium, you already have the most curated version of Essentials in...

Well, my original premise was to lead into Gardmore Abbey. Otherwise, I hadn't given that much thought. I suppose there may be unfinished business between the Harkenwood elves and Daggerburg goblins. But that may be a completely different adventure path altogether. Anyway, I do feel like I need...

For those who forgot, or just don't know, DMG2 had an entire chapter devoted to Skill Challenges. Let's see if it has any interesting tidbits and/or advice to help. Introduction (pg 78) They (skill challenges) should never replace the roleplaying, puzzling, and ingenuity that go into players’...

I hit the enter key by mistake. Stand by.

@Joshua Randall Thanks! Glad to hear it was useful to someone else. If I were to pick this up again, what would you (or anyone) want to see next?

But it appears that they are. Make of that what you will. I wouldn't say anyone is genuinely afraid, but there is basis for some who feel concerned. I understand everyone may feel differently about it. But it begs the question if SF2 will cater more to PF2 players to bring them over at the risk...

Agreed. It's nice to be able to cross the streams and do what you like. But I've already seen the comments building that this basically spells "massive expansion" for PF2 rather than what it really is--a sci-fi game using the PF2 system, and to some degree, the setting (albeit in a timeline that...

I yearn for the day when everyone can stop fixating on 4e as being the "failed" edition, the "controversial" edition, or the "divisive" edition. Just accept that (like it or not) it is a Dungeons & Dragons game, respect that many D&D fans liked the system (and many still do), and just appreciate...

One of the most appealing aspects of SF for me was the fact that they capped spells at level 6 for everyone. This IMO really helped tamp down on those highly nuisance spells from earlier editions that had the most potential to break games/campaigns. And it helped maintained more of a sci-fi...

This is actually very good news for a number of reasons. I just wasn't ready for it. I'm still processing a lot of mixed feelings coming from my own personal issues. I picked up Starfinder a few years ago when I thought I would finally get back to in-person gaming. Despite being modeled after an...

For all the reasons stated above, 4e will continue to be my D&D of choice.
