    I've memorized that. It's # 368.

    Random Places you've seen ads for Essentials

    That explains why I'm seeing all these ads for badboysbigbirds.com saying, "Big Heads in Deep Holes!"

    Race First!

    I usually limit my race choices to those that can fit into the ongoing campaign story. For example, jumping mid-game into my own campaign as someone else guest DMs, I've been looking at playing Githzerai -- since dealing with the barrier that separates Xoriat from the Prime Material Plane of...

    Chris Perkins now Senior Producer, D&D RPG

    My apologies, I didn't mean to. I actually really like his Dungeon work. I was looking at it merely from a collecting perspective: That is to say/ask, "Outside of Dungeon, I don't actually have to do too much work hunting down published adventures by Perkins, yes?" (pleased grin)

    Adventure Development: Resurrecting A Fallen Comrade

    This is probably familiar territory to most D&D vets, but I was just wondering what kind of practical considerations -- in terms of mechanics, fluff and actual play --- I'd need to measure for an adventure of such. We're having a reunion adventure, for our very first 4E group. It consisted of 3...

    Chris Perkins now Senior Producer, D&D RPG

    So technically his adventure design credits (outside of 'design manager' and other supervisory positions) outside of Dungeon magazine are actually pretty limited? I understand he started out as a Dungeon contributor and contributing editor when he was younger.

    Eberron Adventures

    Awesome, thanks! This is exactly what I need.

    Chris Perkins now Senior Producer, D&D RPG

    I came to D&D late in my adulthood, despite knowing most of the rules from the SSI Gold Box games and the Forgotten Realms: Unlimited Adventures program and I just want to know... Which adventures has Chris Perkins written? Is there somehow a complete bibliography somewhere (2E, 3E, 3.5E, 4E, I...

    Three Dragon Ante

    Has anybody played Three Dragon Ante? I'm interested in incorporating it into my games but I have no idea how it's played or even if it's any good. Oh and I must direct the same query to Inn Fighting.

    Eberron Adventures

    Durn it. I tried using Wayback Machine but no dice. I was really looking for the complete list of Dungeon articles (Paizo era) featuring 3.5 material. I'm quite fond of adapting the adventure material there for my 4E games.

    Eberron Adventures

    Was totally enjoying this link but now I can't access the Worlds of DnD pages for the past month. Are they officially down?

    Drowning and "strenuous activity"

    Also strenuous activity may not be *physically* strenuous. I can't imagine a wizard being underwater, trying to cast a daily and then not have to make an Endurance check afterwards. Same thing for picking locks. It doesn't have to be physically taxing, just require a moderate amount of...

    The Red Box Smells Weird...

    But is the smell compatible with the smell of previous 4E products? I don't want to find out that if I put them on the shelf together the smell of the Red Box invalidates the smell of my PHB1 or MM1. This is by the way, the best Red Box thread EVER.

    Unboxing the DM's Kit

    I don't actually own my own Dungeon Master's Guide -- I commit much of the numbers to memory or fudge them, and rely on rules knowledge instead to keep the game coherent and internally consistent -- and I think this is great even for people who have already learned the game. For one thing, the...

    Any hints on the essentials ranger?

    I agree with this. I think moving forward we'll see the changes wrought by Essentials work both ways: we'll be able to build characters with a clear and easy to grasp advancement path -- where one does not worry about which powers to pick to remain true to a character concept and avoid diluting...

    Best Adventure Path?

    You can build some decent adventure paths out of existing material or use older pre-4E stuff. I think for players who aren't jaded or closed-minded, they can overlook the kinks of running the 3.5 Eberron Adventure Path (The Forgotten Forge, Shadows of the Last War, Whispers of the Vampire's...

    Any hints on the essentials ranger?

    I concur entirely with this chain of reasoning. On the other hand, I kind of wish more people who want to be two weapon rangers weren't doing it because they know and love Drizz't, which is usually the more likely reason (one not mutually exclusive of your argument of 'the historicity of the...

    Joining the Veiled Alliance

    At my primary gaming group, we take turns DMing every month. Next month, I'm scheduled to continue my Dark Sun game which ended on the events of Bloodsand Arena. If you've ever read that adventure then you know that the players are told that they can join the Altaruk chapter of the Veiled...

    Gabe (Penny Arcades) take on Essentials Red Box

    I don't thin Gabe's opinion reflects the entirety of MY opinion, but both sync with one another. The REAL thing that bothers me is the number of people I'm talking to who ordinarily dismissed my opinion and then the points of it which Gabe brought out, they're all like "YEAH I TOTALLY AGREE"...
