I was thinking if you add sunglasses to the Ettin's left head it would look like Duke Nukem! COME GET SOME!

A twist on this one is zombies didn't take over the world -- just the area around the fortified town the PC's start in. All communication has been (mysteriously) cutoff with the outside world and the (vampire) lord wants everyone to believe they are the last survivors. This could be a setting...

I have images of the PC's secretly huddled within a huge hollow golem covered with flesh and enchanted with negative energy to resemble a giant zombie waiting for the right moment to emerge as the golem strides (ok, shuffles ;) ) into the BBEG's lair while its minions cower in awe or ignore it...

While the zombies appear to be independent and mindless they are actually part of a "hive mind" -- directed by an as yet undiscovered entity -- that gets smarter and more powerful the more brains it absorbs. Zombies that eat brains of intelligent creatures attempt to return to their "hive" to be...

That is very similar to the HP mechanic used in Games Workshop's (White Dwarf is essentially their house magazine) Warhammer Fantasy Role-play game (from 1986).

Now if you were wearing one of those cool Helms of Rapid (potion) Drinking that holds a potion on either side of your head with a long tube connected to each vial and inserted into your mouth. . .

I hope lots of people bring covert spy or phone cameras with them, document everything and post it all on the internet. As a 70's era hippie-programmer might say, "The information wants to be free!" ;)

Does anyone know if participants at the various 4e demos, including the upcoming Winter Fantasy, will be able to post any and all information they view/receive at those events? Or, will they be restricted by copyrights or, possibly, some sort of NDA? I am hoping that they are allowed to post...

The difference between D&D and any MMOG (except, maybe, NWN) is that if you don't have a balanced party the Dungeon Master (a real person!) can compensate to still keep it fun and give you a chance -- unlike a computer opponent which would prefer to just slaughter you. So, no Defender, no...

I knew Mr. Mearls originally wrote IH but I was under the impression that Adam Windsor is the current owner of the IP. Anyway, even if there is no official conversion planned it is something I would hope someone else, fans or otherwise, might be working on to save me the time from doing it...

Anyone know or care to speculate if Iron Heroes will ever be converted to be more compatible with D&D 4e? I'm just now getting into IH, which is a shame since it came out in 2005, but am very interested in D&D 4e too. I'll be running a low-magic, high-action game set in Hyboria (Conan's world)...

My first 4e campaign with be set in Hyboria with Conan the current King of Aquilonia. The PC's start as green conscripts and recruits in the Aquilonian army stationed deep in the Pictish Wilderness and, with luck (or subtle manipulations of the gods), will eventually be noticed by their...

To keep every combat "risky" and less predictable you could always use Old Skool (remember Arduin Grimoire?) critical hit charts like this: The Arduin Grimoire Critical Hit Table % Die Roll Hit Location Results Point Damage 01-02 Head, frontal Brain penetrated, immediate death 4d8 03-04...

Perhaps with all the MMOG influence, PC's don't die -- they respawn.
