    New Penny Arcade podcast

    Scott, you rock. I seriously look forward to these. I highly suggest to wotc that they take a look at making these a permanent aspect of the website... I'm sure it would be easy/fun to continue to run various adventures with this group and others as needed. It's a great way to encourage DMs to...

    Fantasy Grounds II as 4e campaign tool?

    I highly suggest you check out MapTool (see sig). It's got a bunch of features out of the box that will let you run it the way you'd like, it works great with a projector in-person game (we used an LCD TV, too). There's also tons of 4E specific settings / macros / power managers / whatever else...

    How do you distribute treasure?

    I like 4E's treasure guidelines a lot. We're leveling a lot faster in my current game than we should be... mainly because I have a very good idea of the story arc and where they want to be and we agreed we'd rather play through several levels of 4E in our limited time and tell a great story...

    New Penny Arcade podcast

    The download link and/or the itunes link not working in the first 24 hours is very frequent. I think it's happened every time for the last two months (both regular podcasts and the PA ones). Any chance this could be fixed for the future? Thanks so much for your continued support.

    What do you think the new setting will be, from Ampersand?

    I have to say I'd be pretty disappointed with Greyhawk. Not really excited about Dragonlance or Birthright - just don't seem different enough to really excite me. Planescape seems to be something that we've got a lot of material that any DM could begin a campaign there... but seems a bit too...

    What do you think the new setting will be, from Ampersand?

    I think it's likely it will be entirely new. I thought there was talk about that and it seems like a good time for them to release a new setting, FR, Eb, New, DarkSun would be a good way to go for them. It's released a good 2 years into 4E so they can reference existing material and have a good...

    Floating Powers (Was: WoTC March 2009 Editorial Calendar)

    A couple of thoughts... First, I wonder if my initial praise for floating powers might've been misplaced curiosity about power sources having very little mechanically differentiating them... and I thought it might be a solution to have powers be sourced but unclassed. I agree the utility...

    WoTC March 2009 Editorial Calendar

    Agreed - that's one thing I'm kind of a bit puzzled they haven't done more of quite yet. I think right now before we get into PHB2 and Eberron it's easy to think MP2 and feel frustrated. By the time it comes out, I imagine we'll all be happy with some good options for some old favorites we...

    Character Builder Update Announcement

    I sent in a "suggestion" that they release the phb2 stuff on release days. Wotc's customer service rep replied back very quickly (and was very friendly!) stating that it was unlikely but that they would bring it up at the next meeting as an option for major releases (read: not going to happen)...

    Avatar: The Last Airbender - Bending styles as classes?

    If you had to split up 4 roles and 4 elements (with two power sources per role) how would you do it? Could it be done with some form of symmetry?

    Bard Fluff Help?

    For a few weeks now I've been playing a level 5 genasi windsoul bard. I've got fantastic charisma and am having a lot of fun playing a very charismatic liar during non-combat encounters... enjoying introducing myself with several different names and always different professions and links to the...

    Why don't monsters have power sources?

    I guess wotc was too worried about being able to use restraint w/o getting to the point where a statblock should simply say "Magic users need not apply" and make it quickly unfun for those characters. I suppose that explains the lack of negate weapon damage options as well that simply nerf...

    Power Source based Skills

    I've been thinking a bit about skills associated with power sources. So far I can imagine: Arcane - Arcana Divine - Religion Primal - Nature Anybody have any thoughts about whether skills will be added for future power sources? Seems like Psionics will be a key one, not sure if the others...

    Why don't monsters have power sources?

    Some weapons *do* work that way... if I remember correctly a player of mine toyed with picking up a weapon that dealt extra damage to Fey creatures. I wonder if "Resist Arcane 5" as a daily power for an armor or something might be used as well if they were typed?

    Bardic Music bonus feat?

    So sounds like it's just talking about this: I wonder how exact the text in the book compares to this. The article was released 11/3/08. I can see possibilities: 1) The text was changed since then to something more musically flavorful (and inclusive of alchemy?) than is presented here. 2)...

    Bardic Music bonus feat?

    I built my bard in the Character Builder and see "Bardic Training - Gain Bardic Music bonus feat." It isn't listed under the feats section and I can't find anything from the original article about it. Current searches are getting mucked up with 3.5 bard pages... Anybody have any idea what this...

    Interesting... I guess I was hoping for too much when I read the following from here and here:

    Why don't monsters have power sources?

    Agreed - It would open up more options for dispelling magic, combating psionic powers, and will really get neat if they do elemental power sources correctly (with lots of counters, etc). Even if they added that information to MM2 and then created a guideline for DMs using older material it'd...

    How many books did you buy after the three core books?

    5... I bought H123, AV and MP... I will definitely buy PH/DM/MM 2 and all power source books. I doubt I'll get AV2, it turns out that it is the least used book. Now with Character Builder out it's even less useful. My brother picked up the FR stuff and it's so similar to core fantasy that I...
