I'm sorry, but when my group sits down to game, we sit down to game, not do anything else that might interfere with it. First we hand out the barbiturates. Fighters get the blue pills, clerics and magic-users get the pink ones. Then once the three sacred hashish sticks are lit around the...

Quite frankly the only way I think you could even remotely hope to pull this off is if you have an excellently-tuned sense of humor about what you're doing as well as an infectious sense of fun. Approaching it from the standpoint of a "serious bizness" strikes me as a recipe for disappointment...

TPKs happen. It's not something that either side of the DM's screen wants to happen, but it is an occasional occurrence that is built into the mechanics of the system. If you're a group that strives to follow the rules as written, than in a way it's an inevitability, because sometimes the dice...

As a self-admitted rat bastard DM, I pride myself on making much of the game challenging for my players, and strongly believe in the importance of keeping them on their toes - Yes, I have coup-de-grace'd after sleep spells, in deference of going after PCs still up and about - I'm that evil. I've...

I'm almost always the DM and experience has taught me time and time again that more than one beer throws me off my game some, which bums me out, because I enjoy drinking and gaming. If I'm playing, I probably average about three. Lots of gamers are indeed teetotalers, I've noticed, which more...

Man, I used to believe that there was nothing more fun than immersive roleplaying. But somehow I got old and grumpy, and realized that pretty much most of the PCs I've played and seen played are basically monster-killing loot-crazy psychopaths. So now I just like to kill stuff and I don't...

I've been having a fabu time with a brand-new 4e-converted Shackled City campaign. We've played, um, three sessions so far? You can read all about it on the Circvs Maximvs thread.

We just played through Bruce Cordell's excellent Killing Jar Dark•Matter adventure. Took us about six sessions using pre-gens, I was DMing and was able to basically convert it on the fly.

I'm confused. Are you talking about the Power Index or the Power cards? The Power Cards you can print more than one page, so anyone should have as many as they need :). Although there is something to be said for making the form-fillable page have a couple extra pages of each. Utility powers...

A revision of the paper doll is planned for the next release, but I've got a few other things I'm cooking around with first. :) Including instructions on making the pocket is a good idea, here's a basic how-to: Cut out the main pocket and the hood. You may want to "trim into" the sides of the...

Well, there's always this thread.

You know, that's not a bad death-activated power. :D

Ah, got it. I thought one of the design goals for 4e was to get rid of unnecessary symmetry. ;)

Holy cow, did we ever get this wrong! :o Thanks for the straightening me out, I've no idea how I missed the End of the Encounter bit. That's a bit of a forehead slapper. And not to come off as a total-fail 4e DM, but what's the rule of three? Repeating after every extended rest, or something...

So we ran into this in our session today (Filth Fever from a Dire Rat) and while everyone in our group really likes the new mechanics of the disease track we were unable to figure out clarification from the rules as to exactly how it works. Generally, are the disease effects cumulative, and how...

You rock, Neo! OP updated. Adobe Illustrator CS3. I'm a design professional, FWIW. The serif font (including the scribbly title-designs) is regular ol' Georgia (which I've always liked a lot), the tiny sans type is either Helvetica Neue or Frutiger, I forget which, somewhat famous for being...

I'm a killer DM. I've had several TPKs over the course of my 3.x career - in fact my players rib me about it a fair bit because I've committed the egregious sin of TPKing the party the very first encounter of a new campaign. And I've done this twice now. :o At least one of those particular...

Nice! I plan to yoink this. Am I blind, or have you not listed an HP value?

Cool, thanks for the comments! It warms my heart to hear that your family got some good use out of them. All your comments are definitely going on "the list" for v1.1, but fair warning it may be a little while before I settle back down for an upgrade. I also want to playtest them a little to...

:shrug: I wouldn't even know what size that is. Can you give me the dimensions? It wouldn't be too hard to whip up an alternate.
