    AMpersand #400 Bill S leaving WotC (and others?)

    My sympathies to those involved. One of the weird bits about the D&D hobby is that it feels like those at the wheel are part of our family. I mourn accordingly.

    Battle Cleric Options is up

    Why do you say this? I haven't seen anything mentioned so far that affects channel divinity.

    Battle Cleric Options is up

    This is a very interesting way of subtly guiding battle clerics towards 2h weapons. The +2 shield bonus makes shields irrelevant for AC, and the free scale proficiency frees up a feat for use on Lightning Reflexes (or whatever the suped-up Essentials version is). From the sound of it, this...

    Battle Cleric Options is up

    Here. If only I was still a subscriber, cause it sounds interesting: So, is it as interesting as it sounds?

    A few battlemap previews

    It is indeed nice, and yet another example of why EN publishing is a publisher to follow. I hope the idea is to use these in addition to the normal maps, not instead of them. I can't make a MapTool map out of a 3D image. Oh, and BTW, I fiddled around in MapTool last night and got all the...

    A few battlemap previews

    I do indeed, but what is it? It's obviously a 3D version of the docks map, but for what purpose?

    :z:, baby, :z:! (Or at least it will be once the first adventure is publicly available.)

    My Brawler Fighter and how fellow players complain

    Reading between the lines here, I see three possibilities: the DM really is the sort of 'wilting flower' that everyone is criticising him for being; or the OP is being bombastic and difficult about being denied 2-4 points worth of hit points damage, and rather than resolve the issue like an...

    Player's Guide cover preview

    All of these previews are sating my appetite somewhat (while simultaneously stoking my excitement to run the AP), but that's still great news. Nice cover. I notice RangerWickett gets pride of place, kinda like the rpg equivalent of Steven King ;) One of the 'gears' (the one half-buried under...

    A few battlemap previews

    For my part, just having the image files available for download (just like you have done here, @Morrus ) is enough to make me happy. In general, I'd actually prefer that they not be adjusted before they're published, because I anticipate using the maps 1 by 1 rather than pasting them together...

    A few battlemap previews

    Ah, I didn't know that. The economics of it obviously affect viability. I think what OnlineDM says is correct, that the scaling isn't such an issue. We can pretty easily do that ourselves, so long as the squares on the map are in fact square. Pixel to square ratios (if you can get them from...

    A few battlemap previews

    I was more asking whether you will continue to publish the maps separately online as jpgs (or other image formats), or whether the maps for Zeitgeist will only be available in the adventure pdfs. I ask because I can't see anywhere in the old subscriber or new subscriber areas that the WotBS...

    A few battlemap previews

    Is there any chance of finding out: 1. Whether the maps will be available for separate download (subscriber only, of course) rather than embedded in a pdf? 2. If the answer to #1 is yes, what pixel to square ratio the maps are prepared in? 50px per square seems to work well for maptool and...

    The official trailer is live!

    Custom music! I am impressed. Get him to register so that we can XP him :)

    Rule of Three 20/6/11

    Here. Pretty funny that he refers to "1st to 20th level campaigns". Let the conspiracy theories commence!

    Just how compatible is Essentials?

    I never said it replaced it mechanically :) My point was (and I can't be bothered to go back and check my exact wording) that it was intended to replace the Str-cleric in its niche as the melee 'half' of the cleric class. IIRC, WotC designers have publicly acknowledged that V-shaped classes...

    Just how compatible is Essentials?

    The poster to whom I responded suggested that Warpriest didn't replace the Str-cleric. I addressed the (in retrospect, slightly different) question of whether it was intended to. I provided my reasons in significant detail. I assume from the fact that you take issue with none of my post other...

    New to Forums, Looking for Skill Encounter Help

    Agreed! Complexity and challenge level serve two different purposes and should not be confused. Both make it it harder to succeed at the task, but in different ways. The former means you need more successes, while the latter keeps the number of successes but raises the DCs. In a sense, it's...

    Marking

    1. You have pool at your gaming hangout? Regardless of whether that's the green felt variety or the liquid variety, I'm jealous, so long as: 2. 'bio' and 'pool' are two separate activities in that sentence :p
