It has a Gazebo! Sold! But, I'm disappointed by the lack of roof tiles. It appears to me the only roofs are the ones printed on the box, like the Master Tiles: Dungeon had dungeon floors on the box.

Your numbers look good, except for the Goliaths. Bands are usually defined as several families or kin groups living together, and most often they comprise of 30 - 50 individuals. Band society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The word Tribe used to describe the orcs is more nebulous in its...

Well because you asked so nicely, here's a set of word (.doc) character sheets I made up this week for Encounters. It has a version for each Essentials class (including the Executioner Assassin). If you want to use it for other classes or higher levels, you can modify it. Word of caution, be...

I like how the ability works, but its more powerful than most of the theme powers. Themes are supposed to offer power in between an at-will and an encounter .

If all of these are reprints of images from previous tile sets, I must be missing some of my tiles. I don't recognize the 4x8 tile with the two dais and sarcophagi, or the 5x5 with the magic circle. The magic circle I'm pretty sure is old, as I've seen it show up in several adventures of late...

Rogues don't get Rapier proficiency for free yet. The change to military weapon will only effect classes that have access to all military weapons, like Fighter. I'm glad that I can now play a Rapier wielding fighter without it costing an extra feat.

I hope they go back to the old format after the Red Box fervor dies down, this new format doesn't give enough space to the Dragon and Dungeon articles, and that's the reason I visit their site.

Wow, my mind didn't even go there. I hope if it comes with a paragon path its open to all weapon using classes. If they work with any powers that have ranged weapon and [W] I'd be happy. I'd probably make them superior weapons that count as crossbows for class abilities. Gunslinging Rangers...

This will be awesome. I really hope we get the gunpowder weapons, or new odd paragon paths soon.

I liked it. For a D&D gaming novel its pretty good, yes it has its flaws, but it was enjoyable enough. I was reading it to get a little more info about the D&D Core world, and I got it. The side-jaunt to the ruined palace of the empire of Nerath was enlightening, as it gave another side of the...

As to the Wizard spell schools, WotC have said that they will be giving the keywords to the old spells during one of the Gencon seminars. This will be necessary if you want to make a Mage with spells mostly from pre-essentials without being underpowered, as the school specialization replaces the...

This Now, I'm admit I'm biased being from a DDI heavy group, where I as DM, make sure that everyone has access to the Character Builder with latest updates, this way ensuring that we're all playing with the same ruleset. I can understand that from the perspective of people only playing things...

The Essentials player will be playing by the updated rules, and the Core player could use his magic items an equal number of times. Would you expect a player in your game using rules from the pre-updates phb? Its no more a new edition than after every other big update since 4e has been published.

While missing isn't fun, and you felt like you wasted your resources (which you had), IMHO you weren't setting yourself up for success. While your character isn't built to nova, its not so bad. But to make up for your lack of nova ability, you tried to stack all of the encounter abilities you...

In Word I set the page size to 3x5, added columns, and set the page margins to the smallest my printer can handle, which is about 0.25 Inches. I then adjusted the space between the columns as small as possible. I used 12 point font for most of the titles, and 10 for the card text. Here's my...

Thanks for the update Sabrecat, I just started using these cards with my group a few sessions ago, and they've been a huge hit. I agree that the achievement cards are probably not the best, once you've earned them once why repeat them? Since the 3x5 versions weren't up when I made my own, I...

Some podcasts and interviews I've heard stated that they deliberately set out to map the entirety of the Nerathian Empire, possibly for the first time. Since its a war game, I'm expecting a large scale map, with plenty of room left over for DMs to slip in cities and adventure locations they...

With a little fiddling with the link, I think this is the image to which the OP was referring. http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv92/ghaladen/blackstar.png

Also, you while grouping rooms from 3E together is useful for making 4E encounters, you will want to consider the size of the rooms in which the fight is occurring. I find that some 3E and earlier maps use choke points of 10' x 20' rooms, and smaller living quarters of 20' x 20' rooms. Unless...

What the previous posters wrote is largely true. Lack of precipitation does make for better preservation, as does freezing temperatures. But the best examples of preservation come from anaerobic (that's lack of oxygen) environments. That's why you can get great preservation at the bottom of an...
