My problem with the ad is that it displays while I'm in Stealth at work. And it's not very stealthy. Kind of gives me away, ya know? ;) So, I suppose I'm going to have to stop reading enworld from work until the ad expires. I understand the need for money but it's more annoying than the value...

As a DM and player, I would agree. It's one of those things that sound great in theory but in practice ends up being too much trouble for the small amount of flavor gained. Of course, there's nothing to stop the DM from adding some more specific components for more exotic, or more tightly...

It was a good review, Lizard. Hopefully the books themselves will give you enough room to work with them so that you can run the game you want to run and your players want to play in. Thanks for the very balanced review, though. :)

The books should come around release, or a little after. I know that for the last 3 pre-releases I've ordered that the products (including KoTS) shipped earlier than they said it would AND the items got to me all on the release day, and this is with Standard shipping. Free shipping does...

If WotC priced pdfs the same as the printed books I would most definitely never buy one. Which would be too bad. They're a nice tool but not a substitute for the real thing and I wouldn't be willing to pay the amount for a pdf. They would go from being a nice tool to an unnecessary expense.

$10 would be the ceiling for me. I'm not a big fan of pdf books, preferring the real thing, but they can be useful. $10 would be reasonable, though $5.99 would be better. ;)

In the games I've ran so far I've given each group/role their own Initiative. Artillery, Brutes, Minions, etc. It's worked pretty well so far. So far. ;)

I would roll once for the Minions. Also makes them more dangerous, I think.

Yeah, you're right. A Fighter can use Combat Challenge to make a Basic Melee Attack against a Shifting opponent, including the Kobolds since their ability has the Shift keyword. However, he can't do this during his actual turn, vs. the Dragonshields, for instance, when they Shift away from...

I think Defenses are more affected by the creatures Role and Level than by what he's wearing. I think their armor is basically window dressing. We'll know more, of course, when we can see the tables used to create the monsters, but I'm pretty sure that we shouldn't worry so much about how the...

I agree. My players are the same way. They won't use any of their Daily powers at all unless they hit something a few times and it doesn't become Bloodied. Or it hits them very, very hard. Then they pause, look at each other in consternation, and start looking up their Dailies on their sheets...

I enjoyed the movie but to be honest I enjoyed it mostly because it was another Indiana Jones film. I was just happy to see the big guy on screen with his hat and whip again. If I had my way, though, the alien theme wouldn't have been included WITHOUT at least Indiana going after the great city...

Per power, huh? Wow, that's more rolling than I had thought. :) So, what do you do? Roll at the beginning of each monsters' turn, or at the end?

The pre-gen in KotSF doesn't have Combat Superiority, which is the ability, I think, that stops people from moving around the fighter. Sounds like it's still an option for those wanting to take it. My original question was just due to the rule in KotSF that says Opportunity Actions interrupt...

Fighter specific. Cool. Helpful for the party without completely changing the way movement happens over the battlefield.

I actually have a question too. Does an OA stop the moving character in its tracks? I know there's some mention of this and it's being discusses as a tactic amongst my players, but I'm not sure if it's correct. If a creature moves and provokes Opportunity Attacks, does the creature have to stop...

I have 4 each of every set (only 2 of the first set, though) and keep them all in a jumble in a file box. It's pretty hard to organize them so I'm afraid that I can't offer much help as to which tile sets to use, though the advise above is sound and I think any of the tile sets that feature...

I don't know of any scans of the interior. I plan on using Dungeon Tiles to make a close approximation of each area and work with that. I figure it doesn't have to be exact, as long as it's close. Right now I'm spending time on redoing all the NPCs and the village to my taste. And I'm...

Hey, I went to Sunday School and still go to church. Breaking the law isn't immoral. It's only against the law. ;)

I think Mearls and the Rouse will get this all clarified shortly. It's ridiculous to expect you to not make copies for your gaming group. As a matter of fact, I've made extra copies after reading this thread just to do it while it was still illegal. Such petty nitpicking only deserves one...
