    Playing Shadar-kai

    My PCs are in a fight with a shadar-kai right now, and I was psyched to see that the way they describe their race is almost exactly as I was playing him. I may have to see if I can coerce them into letting him live... Good stuff, WotC!

    DDI, 6 months later: changing my mind

    * stares slackjawed at the encounter builder * I'd forgotten that thing was there. Bought the .pdf version of the MM and had been copying/pasting from that. What a great tool! * bangs head on wall *

    Seven Principles of Dynamic Temples

    Outstanding stuff, Shark. Two of my PCs just opened a temple of Torm in a small town. They're competing with a much larger church as well as another slightly larger one. I sent your temple of Asherah example (distilled down somewhat) to them as ideas they could use to increase their...

    My B&N has Open Grave...

    Anybody know if they're going to release this in .pdf format? I'm addicted to the ability to copy the statblocks into my initiative cards.

    Anybody else getting: Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03e9' Out of memory /default.asp, line 0 at Wizards? I've been receiving this error all day.

    Jumping over Opponents

    I always thought that "Base 15" referred to the Moderate/1st level intersection in the page 42 table. That's the baseline. My rogue player's PC wanted to attempt to not only jump over an opponent, but land around a corner (the baddie was in the corner of an 'L'). This was the first time I...

    "How to run a PC quick, clean and effective - Forked Thread: (...prevent Grindspace!)

    I've found that rolling the critter's init in advance is a key. I use init cards (MM .pdf + screen capture + formatted Word doc = prep time WIN). I simply add 10 to the Init score for the entry (unless I have some evil reason to change it), and write it on the card, sort by the init of each...

    Underdark Trading Post contents...(possible Thunderspire spoilers)

    My PCs are about to get into some trading arrangements with the underground, so I'm really loving this. Please keep 'em coming, thanks.

    Hollowfaust Newspaper

    Attached is a series of 'newspapers' I created when my PCs reached Waterdeep for the Champions Games. Feel free to use as you like. The stuff filling out the paper is a combination of things I created and 'borrowed' off various 'net sites. Check out Paizo's board for more things you might be...

    Creative combat objectives (other than "kill 'em all")

    I've 'subjected' my players to numerous 'Chutes and Ladders' situations, where they had to climb/descend a winding path to an objective, all the while carrying an unconscious NPC, dodging enemy fire/aerial assaults, deciding whether to run or fight, etc. I like creating a 'game within the...

    Creative combat objectives (other than "kill 'em all")

    Our alternate DM ran variations on 'Last Stand' and 'Breakout', as a series of encounters to fill out a couple weeks while I wrote some more material. One thing (that has been mentioned already) that is critical is to make sure the players have a good idea of what they need to do. 'Last Stand'...

    What have been your best/worst 4e combat encounters?

    The most disappointing battle I had taught me a number of lessons, both 4e and DMing in general. I built the whole climactic encounter around a beautiful map I had downloaded from rpgmapshare (can't find the link at the moment). It was basically two towers connected by a narrow bridge, with a...

    Power Cards for whining players or DMs

    Well played, sir. *tips hat* Don't forget "I liked the way 3e did it better". You could mine one of the 36,000 such threads on this site for days.

    Adventure Group Names

    Our PbP group has a druid (me) with a large ape companion (Rheis) that frequently tears things limb from limb. We occasionally refer to the group as "Six Men and a Monkey". The giblets he serves up are called "Rheis' Pieces". There's a long list of clever team nicknames in the AoW thread on...

    FR Adventure Idea

    You might get more response if you gave those of us who don't have the FRCG handy an idea of where Wheloon is and what's different about it.

    How Many Beers per Gaming Session?

    One guy brings a six-pack each week, but rarely finishes it. One guy frequently has a single (large) cocktail. Two others don't drink at all. Being the owner of the house where we play (and a native Kentuckian) I drink bourbon like a ************* dying man in a ************** desert!

    New Wet/Dry Erase Tile Sets, What would you like to see?

    I would buy multiple sets of these - a lot of my encounters take place in small villages and towns, and I haven't found a way to lay out individual buildings as required.
