    Essentials at Gencon Dungeon Delve

    It occurred to me that I hadn't seen a thread about the Dungeon Delve characters from Gencon. They were made using Essentials. I didn't get to look at all of them closely, but I did play the Wizard a few times. Here are the highlights from my now-dim memory: Edit: Forget my dim memory, the...

    Is the Redbox Rogue All Cocked Up?

    I've noticed and worry about this too. It's possible that there are two different rogue builds that operate differently, and only one of them is in the Red Box. But I suspect the Red Box will be substantially out of sync with Heroes of the Something Something Dark Side (I can never remember the...

    Essentials: Magic Item Rarity Explained, it's actually good!

    I'm really excited about these rules. I always liked having fewer but more special magic items (except for a setting like Eberron, which is also cool) so here's how I envision using the rarities: -Inherent bonus rules in effect. -No common items exist except expendables. -Uncommon expendables...

    Mike Mearls Ruined Everything

    "Ruin Everything" should have the Mike Mearls keyword, and inflict the ruined (save ends) condition. With an aftereffect: The target is ruined.

    The Pinnacle of your Collection

    I bought the first copy ever sold of Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed at my first Gencon. Signed by both Monte and Sue, who wrote "To our #1 Customer."

    advice for a newbie DM running a "pick-up" game for slightly newbie players?

    Kiznit's combat crib sheet is invaluable for first timers. Make sure to adjust the encounters for 3 players.

    advice for a newbie DM running a "pick-up" game for slightly newbie players?

    You might try the Into the Shadowhaunt adventure from when the PHB was first announced. If you only get one session you won't get through any of those others. It should be available online... at least it was once upon a time.

    Ravenloft delayed to August 31

    Amazon pushed back, changed date on the WOTC website, and confirmed from FLGS. Three points make a plane. Or a demi-plane. That's right, you've been denied the game and you only get my bad pun as comfort. But I did play it at Gencon and had a good time.

    D&D 4E No more reprints of the 4E core books?

    "Is Essentials 4.5?" arguments need to be banned just like edition wars were. They're seriously crowding out discussions of matters of substance.

    Small annoyances that could / should be finally fixed with the Essentials

    Feats with stat requirements also make relying on Character Builder more problematic (since they don't show up), so I'd like to see them go.

    OG! Saturday 10am Full, but accepting alts

    Could I claim the remaining 5 spots? My group is big this year and some are coming at the last minute and looking for events. We played the XRP game with you last year and had alot of fun. I've been hoping to get to try Og!

    Timing of Flurry of Blows

    I got a very good response from WOTC customer service on this question. My first question: His response: I know it's been customary to take CS with a grain of salt, but Josh (the CS rep) was clearly on his game on this one.

    Maybe it won't stack with Improved Armor of Faith?

    PHB1 Powers and Feats, as they'd be written today

    I meant +1W instead of a second hit, not in addition.

    PHB1 Powers and Feats, as they'd be written today

    I like the +1[W] on double hit for Twin Strike, and all multi-attack powers. I was thinking something very similar: if both attacks hit, add your Wis mod. Would you up it to +2[W] at 21st?
