If you're taking a percentage, their living expenses will effectively go up with level, even though they're presumably renting the same apartments (or whatever) in Flint.

Digging for Lies MapTool Campaign File For other DMs using MapTool, I'm attaching my Digging for Lies campaign file to this post. It includes the Ziggurat of Apet configured with vision blocking and light sources, and a separate DM map of the ziggurat showing the correct setup for the rainbow...

al_fredo -- I may not have the Skyseer stuff in MapTool anymore, but one thing I do have is the rainbow room (and a bunch of other Lies stuff, as my PCs are currently in that adventure). I'd be happy to share it with you. Edit: I actually have the entire ziggurat with vision blocking, fog of...

Rock Rackus: Working-Class Hero We spent two sessions largely on the discussion with Rock Rackus. I had a brainwave before the first one, and realized that Working-Class Hero would be the perfect song to use. So I strummed it idly throughout the initial conversation, where the constables mostly...

In between the last session and this one, I re-read the section about the Vekeshi plot and decided that the assassin hasn't tried to kill Rock Rackus yet, so Rock Rackus is still safely in prison. Session Notes Murdok visited Agnes Mildew, who was thrilled with the skull spoon from Bole, and...

I wasn't suggesting that there should only ever be one way to achieve a given feel within the character creation rules, but I do think that having multiple (3-4+) ways to achieve highly unique/specific flavours is problematic for new/casual players. Gladiator is fairly generic; vampire is not...

That seems even less intuitive to me. Having more choices sharing the same thematic space seems like it would increase analysis paralysis, not decrease it.

I dunno, having multiple ways to accomplish the same feel in a single RPG seems like it could be very confusing for new players.

I remember when Essentials came out and introduced subclasses to 4E that were very different from the build options we'd had before, some people (myself included) complained. WotC responded that their data showed that the overwhelming majority of players (IIRC) wanted to play one of the "core...

Wow. That's incredible.

I've only had 3 days off in April, so we didn't get another session in until Wednesday, and the session just covered the Planar Trails segment. I warned the players up-front that I was pretty wiped and probably wouldn't be providing a lot of colour, but we went with it anyway. Session Notes...

That is AWESOME. Love the singing. It's great that you've got such a cool group. :)

I don't find it confusing. The "attacks that do not include you as a target" language is there to cover area attacks that associate a single attack roll with multiple targets. Your "tied to one damage roll" rule of thumb ends up working the same way in practice.

We also play it by strict RAW -- each attack roll is an attack, the mark penalty applies to all of them, and the defender's punishment can trigger on any of them. This gives the defender the option to react to any one of the attacks that doesn't include them (since, as others have noted, you can...

Yeah, the equivalent in 4E is insubstantial, and insubstantial creatures still take half damage.

You did put in that she crashes his wedding and either sinks his boat with him on it or gives them a cool gift, depending on the Vekeshi Mystic PC's actions. However, I actually didn't realize that you intended that to be the order she got from the Vekeshi -- I thought it was just part of her...

I had a 2E wizard get to level 8, and a 3E wizard get to level 7 or 8. In 4E, my swordmage|warden hybrid just multiclassed into wizard at level 21. Soon we'll be headed to the Fortress of Conclusion to confront Acererak or die trying...

The DM needs a paid account to enable cloud sharing, but as far as I know the players' accounts can be free. There's web sharing as well, but I'm not sure if it's public web sharing or only open to campaign participants.

I'm currently using Obsidian Portal, but I'm not really thrilled with it. There's no autolinking, so I have to remember syntax -- which differs depending on whether I'm linking a character from the character list or a character page in the wiki. I find the interface for file management fairly...

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you on the MapTool campaign file thing yet. I'm working 12 hour days at the moment and it's hard to find time for much of anything. I'll make sure to save adventure instances in the future for others to use, though, so my rainbow puzzle prep work for adventure 3...
