    4e - ATL GATECH GA game.

    Hey people on the internet. If any of you live in the Atlanta area of Georgia and are up for some 4e-style dice rolling, please respond (or if you have a game currently going and are interested in getting a player (or players)). If this interests you, please check out the spoiler for more...

    Staff Mastery and Wizard of the Spiral Tower

    I'd say let it work that way. Or, simply hold a staff in one hand and a longsword in the other.

    Your Crowning Moments of Awesome

    Those are some awesome stories. The thing about Egypt and Carrion is really tragic. I hope people keep weighing in w/ their stories.

    Interview with Mike Mearls

    Bumping for great justice. Also, great ENWorld mention.

    swordmage powers

    ...Huh. Level 17? Is that a list of some of their powers? Because As I see it there should be four encounter powers (P,7,13,17), three dailies (5,9,15), and then five utilities (2,6,10,16,P). Allow me to rephrase; is that a summary of all powers, or a summary of the powers in general such that...

    Dragon 366 - Wish Upon A Star

    I like M_R and Jester's take on things. How I'd interpret things is that the Warlock 'sees' these things happen far away or perceives them in some fashion (and with some attack forces others to perceive them as well). Because... uhh... how would a lot of those things work underground? A beam of...

    D&D 4E Are rules lawyers having less fun in 4e?

    Rules lawyering is alive and well. Because there are so many weak spots and contradictions in the rules a new type of rules lawyering exists - logic lawyering. One tries to convince the dm that while points A and B contradict each other (and clearly regard the same rule) A seems to work better...

    Worst/Most Ridiculous Gaming Experience Within a Homebrew Campaign

    Awesome. That made me so happy. I think the OP has us all beat. The worst game I've ever PCed had a lot of potential to be cool. Essentially, our DM had us spend a few weeks making PCs for an Eberron game. Then all the NPCs sounded the same and the world was pretty much falling apart. We then...

    Your Crowning Moments of Awesome

    If I may use a V:tM character, I would use Joseph Umberlin, the Ventrue. A self-styled 'knight', he was early on fooled into believing that his clan actually worked for the best of mankind and kindred (He eventually wizened up). Point being, he cut THE Tzimisce flesh monster in half. He also...

    Dragon 366 - Wish Upon A Star

    There are some flaws, errors, etc. But oh my goodness. That has to be my favorite Dragon article, yet. Most of the flavour text was interesting and provocative without being tacky. I just... read it. Whole thing. I'm hoping the flaws'll be fixed for the compilation, but overall very enjoyable to...

    FR Player's Guide

    I hope you're right. One of the things I dislike the most about 4e is the flavour text. Anduhh... from the July Previews and Beyond Classes: An entirely new class and new multiclass-only class (available to characters who have a spellscar, a mark that is the corroded echo of spellfire twisted...

    FR Player's Guide

    That's a pretty cool idea. If I had done anything serious in FR in the past I'd try a similar storyline. I bet that's what WoTC's actually hoping players/dms will try to do. I'm inclined to (with the information we have at this point) guess that the Forgotten Realms Player's Guide is more of a...

    White Wolf: What's the Deal!?

    I think that WoD is... like others have said, less accessible. The fan base is more of a rabid underground and the books are quite fun to read. (I have Requiem and Lost... and have never run or played either. Ran and played quite a bit Reckoning and Masquerade back in the day. Hell, even a...

    Adventurer's Vault Excerpt: Airships

    I hope they have rules for ramming. The hobgoblins leveled their ship to the merchant vessel, after peppering it with arrows. Two minions jumped across. They were in no way ready for the group of PCs I had sitting around (3 of them half made, one a few levels too high). The wizard and...

    FR Player's Guide

    That's a good point. Anyone actually getting the book for FR-use specifically? Not for porting genasi and swordmages to a house game or PoL setting, but actually for FR?

    3e->4e: The origin of the Defender Class

    Indeed. I've been excited about that book since pre-4e stuff. 2WFighters? All I can say is yes.

    FR Player's Guide

    Okay, glad I'm not crazy. I imagine it'll have the races, region-buffs, swordmage, a new build for each class, and at least one paragon path per class. If it has those plus a decent number of rituals (100? Jeez, I'd be happy with fifteen or twenty. But more is excellent), I think I may have to...

    Adventurer's Vault Excerpt: Airships

    Y'know... I could see this as an HP grind. But, I think it's really something that falls into the hands of the dm. Are the PCs crew or are they the cannons? Is the combat between two smallish freight ships like this or this one versus a bunch of smaller more maneuverable pirate ships? Do the...

    Blood Mage confusion

    Why not Action Point to color spray, and then use a second wind? Or be a dwarf?
