Some people call Lankhmar the City of Adventure. I didn't find it to be that, exactly. 'Course, I can't say I seen Sharn, and I never been to Cormyr, and I ain't never seen no bladesinger in her damn chainmail bikini as the fella says. But I'll tell you what, after seeing Lankhmar and thisahere...

I look forward to a system that makes it clear enough how to design encounters that I don't feel compelled to fudge the occasional roll. But I really think only GM's should do it. With great responsibility comes great power. Sometimes system dynamics are just swingy, and the players' fun...

Skill Training: Diplomacy

So, if regular folk don't have healing surges, can regular folk benefit from healing potions? Orcs can. ;)

As long as Mike and the Rouse are here... Why does the wizard lack a third cantrip? Mistake? Int-based? Something else?

I'm attaching a file I wrote a while back that might helps with NPC magic items.

The hit points thing does not seem like a problem. I can easily foresee myself, as a DM, effectively describing ~2 wounds before any given creature drops: a minor wound for bloodied, and a major wound which knocks the person out of the fight. As far as I'm concerned, 4e hit points are a major...

And I don't think the temporary hit points stack.

I'm an American grad student currently in Cambridge for a couple months (well, currently in Montreal for the weekend, but back to Cambridge next week). I'm planning on attending the London Dungeon event, then seeing if I can make it back on the 7th for the game day. I already talked to...

Good: all gods turn undead Bad: all clerics turn undead I'm happy that they've introduced a little complexity into the cosmos. It's not: good=positive=life vs. bad=negative=death. This allows interplanar conflicts (i.e., differences between fiends and gods). I'm also happy there's no god of...

I'll be really happy if its: Sword and board: AC bonus Two-handed: Extra damage Two-weapon: To hit bonus I think the idea of using one weapon to set up the other attack fits the cinematic style of TWF much better. Now if only I could think of something for fencers... Of course, I guess the...

Be excited. Yesterday, apparently, they started filming a sequel. (With Racetrack from BSG... Mmmm...)

We're seceding. You can keep the Hivemind.

More controllers (for variety) and the all-martial party are the things I would be most interested in. I would want something that would both patch a current hole and be complementary, rather than a substitute, for what we know wizards will come out with. I still think a non-magical tinker...

Bah! There's only one way to make a triple sword. And they don't let you fly. They do something much cooler. Much, much cooler.

I don't know whether to be awed or horrified that you know its name... I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there's an extensive wikipedia entry. On a semi-related note, the big giant thing skewed my perception of how big giants were in RPG's for many years.

Thanks for posting the info. I hope they make the artificer public early (maybe via DDI) to maximize the amount of playtesting. It's a tricky class to get right, and its really easy for new classes to gum up the works.

It looks like the big dog thing from the first Ewoks movie. Yeah, I said it.

Slow your roll. This is D&D, not FATAL. ;) I don't have a problem with making some actions inherently counterproductive to certain challenges. Seems logical and obvious from a broad design standpoint. As for the Duke scenario in particular, I think the approach of fixed contextual DC's and...

I want my two page spread of the Ettercap making the Eyewing cry.
