I hated the diagonal rules from 3.X The only real result was that it took longer to move for counting out movement if a player is plotting their route. There are so many things in 4ed that are in 'just because' to make it go quicker and smoother. Why can a fighter only do a certain sword swing...

I guess it depends on what type of dungeons you run. If they are the old school type where a monster never leaves its confined pen until its meant to be killed and all doors are soundproof to death cries on the other side then your players have a point. Please note that there is nothing wrong...

Absolutely. Each has their pros and cons and a user can have their choice.

Just gonna throw out a few wild and crazy ideas.... Newer does not equal better nor does it have to. Others might like something you dont like and thats ok.

I have a lot of the Mongoose books. Quintessential and the Encyclopedia Arcane series. They have good ideas for me to slip into 4ed.

and how did the party do against the dragon?

If you want sound in your game this will help a lot. http://www.rpgsoundmixer.com/ Its a program that can play and loop multiple sound files and music files and play them at the same time. The forum has links to free real life sound effects. then you can bind them to various keys So what can...

I definately love them and yes they do hog up the ink but are worth it heh. One request though please.... can you make a gold colored border? I was wanting to have them seperate for magic item powers.

Awesome! I was hoping you were still working on these :)

I think you handled this very professionally in not naming them at first and to give them a more then reasonable time to pay you. I'm glad you called them out and named them. I have been holding off buying some new pdfs as I had no idea who the company was. I can now avoid them and help to...

Just took a look at your website.... 1: Looking at the calendar of events it looks like you have plenty of events going on and on almost every day. 2: The logo is really driving me nuts. it looks stretched out and forced in there. 3: It looks like you are getting in new lines of products...

If a party is out of non at-will powers, AND the monsters are out of non at-will powers, AND the monsters for whatever reason dont want to run away, AND the players dont ask them to surrender, AND the terrain and enviornment offers no options, AND the monsters have the majority of their hit...

Why exactly is a the Gm putting in impossible to hit creatures? If its a BBEG is it really afraid to get into the fight because it might take 4 or so damage? Lastly, this mechanic sounds stupid in description I agree but it allows the fighter to contribute damage at some level just as other...

The same could be said though on boss tactics when any class has automatic damage not just when a fighter approaches.

The most successful ones in my town have embraced the gaming mentality. They dont just sell RPG books. RPGs, CCGs, minis, comic books, anime, used versions of all of the above. They have wotc sanctioned tournaments for rankings and in seperate rooms not just a darkened corner. Cold soda, chips...

You are quite right and my examples as I put them were poor for my cultural reasons point. There are many many reasons why a nation does not take on new techniques or technology. I guess a more broader example would have been better.

I really like this system. 1: We already have the great wheel. Its been done for several editions. Now we have a new cosmology example. GMs have more choices in how to setup their cosmology. 2: How much time is actually spent away from the material plane? Is it really a deal break for a...

I always saw orcs as a good philosophy point vs humanity. Orcs being the imbodiement of raw human emotion and anger. Just look at the Hulk and the conflict with Banner. The hulk is just a big orc really.

I think a problem with this theory is the idea that everyone of a non human race acts the same. Most fantasy settings divide up humans into countries and kingdoms. Each with its own traditions, customs, and laws. Yet non human races are just races. Dwarves live near a human kingdom. What kind...

OP it seems your main concern is that your players know the stats in the PHB. Did none of them buy previous DMG books? Do they not read message forums? I wouldnt be surprised if there downloadable sheets of magic item stats. People will know about it anyways. Now this doesnt mean that they...
