    The Player's Guide is here! [Updated to Final Version!]

    Many people already consider Implement Expertise a mistake, partially (primarily?) because it stacks with everything else. Having this feat stack as well exacerbates the problem. Making it a feat bonus alleviates some of that, but it's still a pretty consistent bonus to attack rolls. Where the...

    GTS 2009 D&D Seminar - the Rouse discusses D&D

    Give me a game where the combat mechanics are exactly identical to 4E. (So, I suppose that would be a tactical game?) Also, please don't only include the original Player's Handbook. An expandable game that received content updates with PH3, etc. would make me drool and . . . well . . . other...

    Dragon/Dungeon Submissions?

    Plus, as I mentioned earlier, the interview in the podcast a few months ago really confused me as to what the editor prefers. ~

    The Dreaming DM

    I had a dream once that I thought made an interesting setting, except that I don't really remember enough of it to be any use. There was a tall tower where everyone in the world lived, and there were some number of gods in charge. I think they were gods of fire, wind, water, etc., but I don't...

    GTS 2009 D&D Seminar - the Rouse discusses D&D

    If I recall correctly, there was going to be a dungeon designing program that was separate from the VTT. You would then import the dungeon into the VTT. ~

    PDA for PDFs?

    How about a pdf-like format that ran off of XML? Stuff could be tagged, and when read by a 'pdf viewer' (for printing or book-like reading with a current pdf-like interface), these tags would be read as bookmarks. When read by a browser or smaller-scale PDA-type device, these tags would be read...

    Half-Elf Emissary - weirdest paragon feature

    No, they get the Charisma bonus because the emissary honeys everything the other players say. They're the main ones making rolls and trying to make points to the duke, but the bard keeps chipping in a lot, adding smooth compliments to the fighter's grunting argument to make it sound better. So...

    Half-Elf Emissary - weirdest paragon feature

    Make it half your Charisma bonus? That way you should still be better than your buddies, right? And it's not as broken? ~

    Settings/games for kids?

    Well you could check out this thread from 2002 that chronicles Samantha the Red (@3 years old) in her LARP run by her father (with pictures!) http://www.enworld.org/forum/story-hour/106634-quests-samantha-red-pictures-included-updated-8-5-a.html At age 7, she wrote 'Game in a Jar', and DMed it...

    D&D 4E Not Suitable For Work: A 4e Design Contest Idea

    Okay :) Sounds interesting. I'd have to see a challenge before I decided to participate or not. ~

    Ooh very nice. I hadn't thought of that; good foresight. Cool. ~

    Dragon/Dungeon Submissions?

    Well, I figured they just didn't like my pitches . . . but now I'm imagining a vacant house on a dead-end street, the sole occupant of which is a computer, gently humming with a flickering monitor, picking up all of our submission emails. Perhaps once a month someone from Wizards comes in and...

    D&D 4E Not Suitable For Work: A 4e Design Contest Idea

    What do you mean 'designed' somewhere other than home? Does that mean written up and everything? Anywhere I have a computer I also have access to all [most] of my gaming stuff. (At my house, I have my pdfs, and at my girlfriend's I have all my books; I don't have access to a computer anywhere...

    Dragon/Dungeon Submissions?

    It's also worth noting that a few months ago the D&D podcast had the editor or someone from the magazine on for an interview. He's the one who (at least at the time of the podcast) was in charge of reading the proposals from submitting authors and replying to them, working toward completed...

    The Player's Guide is here! [Updated to Final Version!]

    Well, this was my first look at War of the Burning Sky. This looks great (although I really don't have much use for it, but it's still an interesting read). It's a cool place, with a cool story, complete with myths and plenty of stuff for new characters/players to start with. Then I got to...

    D&D Reversal: The players Control the Dungeon

    The PCs overcome traps and dungeon monsters in order to reach the MacGuffin. When they get it, the keeper tells them that not only should this item never be removed from the dungeon [for the safety of the world], but there is currently a band of ogres/orcs/goblins/ratfolk/kobolds/etc. coming to...

    Sourcerous Vision, Arcane Power. WOW

    I thought this feat looked awesome, too. I'm considering having my hybrid warlock/swordmage multiclass into sorcerer partially in order to pick up that feat. ~
