A 7th level Ankylosaur and a 9th level Stegosaur? I'm staggered by the depth, range and creativity of the Monster Manual. As well, they did a great job making already cool archetypical monsters like panthers and giant scorpions "cooler"

I've been going over my collection of pre-4E adventures as fodder for my campaign...and I keep hitting the "monster speedbump" And a lot of those monsters, if they weren't in the 3.5 MM, they were in Tome of Horrors. It's too bad that because of the GSL Necromancer won't be doing a 4E Tome of...

Sometimes players role play a little too much, especially when it regards trivial matters with trivial NPCs, eg: DM "The Innkeeper charges you 2gp for room and board" Player "Rolgath the Cheap inisists that is outrageous and offers 1gp" (Rolgath is a 6th-level character with hundreds of GP)...

Isn't "The Forest Oracle" in the same typeface that the nazis used??

Roleplaying is more of a problem for me when another player's character starts chatting in-depth with the imaginary innkeeper about his imaginary family and the imaginary weather while the rest want to kill some imaginary things and take their imaginary stuff!!

Whoah, a 4E baby dragon?? That sounds like quite the handful.

Whoops! I meant Gold.

One flying healing potion dispenser coming up! My character really wants to be able to use a toilet made of gold, but the DM has not seen fit to put one in any dungeons....

Heist movies, Spaghetti Westerns. Film Noir. There's plenty of precedent for such amoral entertainment. Evil doesn't always mean stupid. In history plenty of "evil" organizations got along fabulously and accomplished much killing and taking of stuff. Evil folks can have a pet parakeet, visit...

Shadowfell??

What I do when making monsters is start out with the suggested values, then look up a few monsters of a similar level and role, fudge the numbers with the MM statblocks as guide for what's reasonable, look at the defenses, skills, etc, fudge them a bit more until they "feel right" It's not an...

NIGHTWING This being looks much like slender, yet muscular, hairless male human with lustrous ebony skin. Great membranous wings rise behind its shoulders, and its head has smooth black horns, long pointed horns, crimson orbs for eyes, and handsome facial features that are manlike yet...

BOG ALLOSAUR This bipedal horse-sized dinosaur looks like a hybrid between an allosaur and an alligator. It has muscular forearms that end in fierce webbed talons and a thick, long armor-plated tail. Bog allosaurs are smallish carnosaurs found in tropical swamplands. They are...

IRL it seems that oftentimes non-mercantile people selling objects or goods will often get 20% of retail. Think of pawnshops, garage sales, used CD stores. In our world, I'm sure 20% is more realistic than higher values in approximating what return our world's 'adventurers,' mercenaries...

Thanks.

If your campaign world has widespread firearms, just use crossbow stats and change them to pistol and musket.

When players try hacking through dungeon walls in my game, weapons start breaking.
