Anecdotes about what worked in the past, what helps build party unity for you, would be very helpful for me!

So I've convinced my office that D&D is a legitimate team building exercise, so pending a level of approval I'll be running a game for my co-workers. I'm also planning on re-using this for my adult siblings over the holidays, helping the family to play together to stay together. I'm a...

Hmmm... I hear what you're saying. I don't have Essentials, though, only the regular books (and a bunch of those, actually), and no CB. If I did go Hybrid WizLock, I picked up the Elemental Chaos players guide, and I saw the elemental path. Also an elemental sorcerer path. I'm considering...

Well, cool is good for the powers. I want to zap things with eh, describe it like an arcane lightning bolt. I like the 1d10, and having int and cha is great for me. I'd even spend the feat for orbs and wis as they're also cool. I like the books for mages, but being clever and bluffing. The...

I don't see why that is, but the char op threads keep pointing that out. Maybe it's that the implement is a wand, but Locks don't use Dex... or that Cha isn't really a great Wiz option. I just like the Eldritch Blast as an At-Will, and the Wiz powers and cantrips along with it.

I found this page: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/397_Racial_Ability_Bonuses.pdf I don't know why I can access a pdf, but that's nice of them. I hope when D&D next comes out, they'll open up the 4e CB to everyone. EDIT: And, while I'm here, I think I'll state that I want to House Rule...

(not wanting to read the entire thread for this): Can I make a Hybrid Wizard/Warlock?

To be clear, I have players only using 4e stuff, but am looking at the essentials adventures I picked up (Madness @ (gardmore?) abbey, and that Shadowfell one). I'm likely going to pull certain elements, but overall use my own material. The group is going to just grab the PCs I make up, so I'm...

They're newbs... My parents and sisters. If it happens, fun times. Just making sure I won't have issues running it. What are the big differences to be aware of?

See, I bought some boxed sets from BMW, and they're essentials. Can I use them with my broader collection of 4e stuff, or is there conversion needed?

If I do them, I'll post here.

I'm running a game for my family, ie: my parents and siblings, we're all adults and they've never played the game (except one of them). I'm keeping it simple and using 4e (a really simple system), but I was wondering what resources were out there for the game that don't involve the CB. I am...

Yep. Fightin' an cleavin' and dem houndz is wut it eez. Um... question: what are we getting that XP for exactly? Does it increase the total number to roll if they attack as a group? Also: did my "I roll 20 d20 to save time" idea get agreed to, or am I up poop-creek on that one?

ooc: As I'm away from my computer frequently, could I post, say, 20 rolls and tick them off as they come up to save time? Never tried this before. Looking at the first couple of rolls I'm tempted to not argue if you want me to go one-by-one. 1d20=4, 1d20=15, 1d20=15, 1d20=18, 1d20=5, 1d20=9...

Duncan plants his feet, knowing this pack of hounds to be no match for him. One at the head of the pack leaps at him, but with a flash of his blade he cleaves it into halves. He readies himself to take the next attack, to break the hounds' charge like a rock breaks waves upon the shore. OOC...

Loc: at work on phone will roll later, or someone can roll for me. Init plus attack. Hoping I'm not killed too fast!

Duncan strides to the head of the herd, greatsword drawn. As the hounds close he swings his blade in a wide arc, both to kill and set up the next attack. "Artillery, take down the pack as they close with me" he bellows. He stands his ground in the corridor between the pack and herd.

Duncan isn't surprised at finding nothing, though a bit disappointed to be left without a distraction. "No sign of anything watching us. We can move on," Duncan says to Sevarr. "We should go in while the larger caravan's trail is still fresh."

Hi all! Sorry for the absense, I've been prepping for the playtests of a project I'm working on. I'll be starting a job on Tuesday, so posting as often as I can. Isida: Amazing posts, as always. I really like your writing style. I'm curious as to whether the origin of the warm spot will...

Duncan is stunned by the images, true, but most by the sense of loss. Grief always did strike him hard, when it got through the wall he put up that allowed him to do the job of surviving in the world. Though this was implanted grief, it injected itself past his emotional defenses. He took a...
