I find it tougher to go through these to get a sense of adventure plot with all the flipping between the content and encounters. For fairly straightforward adventures, I don't see a big need to break it up like that... especially when vital pieces are in the encounters and not in the main text...

Very cool article! It had more usable stuff than I anticipated... seems like these can easily be dropped into any campaign. Seems like Storm Sovereign has my swordmage written all over it... Also, thanks to wotc for explaining the reason. It makes sense that stuff like this happens, and it's...

The one inside MapTool isn't nearly as fully featured as the standalone version... but it does let you roll init, order, cycle through, delay/ready... pretty much everything else is easily handled by MT anyway. It works well for our group!

Yeah, and with the added confusion of what's supposed to be up and when... makes me wonder if it's just a tech issue nobody has noticed or there's other stuff going on with them... Hopefully today ! =)

I'm not seeing a link anywhere to this article which I thought was due out today. Any word? I also noticed that in the ToC it has a link to Playing Shadar-Kai that links to the Bane article. (excuse me if I already missed a thread on this)

Just to chime in... the line of sight, vision, and lighting settings are one thing that can change your gameplay just a bit. While you can ignore them all (pretty much any feature in MT is setup to be turned off), it's really fun to have your players exploring a dungeon by torchlight and have...

I've used MapTool for about 2 years now through 3.5, Savage Worlds, star wars mini battles, and now 4th edition. The best part about it is the very friendly community. Go check out the videos on the site and RPTools Screencast Tutorials to get an idea of what you're looking at. Feel free to...

Seems like itunes has had issues with the xml the last several updates... Kind of annoying, I actually look forward to the podcasts and have to manually download each night... defeats the point of "podcasting" eh?

Why not have TEMPLATES for these articles as well? I mean instead of just having a Heroic-tier Priest of ____, and then one for Paragon and Epic... have 3 levels of templates that can be added to existing monsters. That way I can go ahead and take some random race or soldier or monster from...

Very very cool! I think this guy just became a driving force and the primary deity of the evil empire that my players will face next... Quick question though - I'm unfamiliar with previous versions of Bane and how he differs in FR. Anybody have a quick comparison that would be easy to...

Wow, that's a great point. It'd suck for the swordmage to get the love but the artificer not to - especially when I see the artificer as potentially more expandable as the swordmage... I'm okay with them putting it in AP... I'm also okay with them not putting it in AP but agreeing to have a...

In addition there are paragon paths that are restricted to power source if I remember correctly... perhaps epic destinies, too. I would've liked to see more power source feats like channel divinity stuff for each of the flavors. Perhaps Primal will get some stuff? Time will tell... I hope that...

I recently ran the second half of KotS for 3 players (striker, defender, leader)... the fourth was dealing with some issues and had several weeks he couldn't attend. I setup the side trek to make sure the relevant plot I setup wasn't damaged too much and decided to use KotS because I had it and...

Ah! So basically the Ranger picks short swords (+3 / 1d6) and the Avenger picks a Longspear (+2 / 1d10) and they're closer to even. I'm eager to see a Twin Strike Short Sword ranger compared to Enmtiy Longspear Avenger. (not because I think when we find out one is better at a specific task it...

Please, explain a bit here... I'm having a lot of trouble making out the details of it beyond the first few sentences... must be late and the old eyes are tired!

I notice that the Invoker doesn't have the summon power chosen... bummer! Did anybody see anywhere if anybody from wotc confirmed the summoning mechanics a little bit further? Avenger I think shot up to the top of my class-from-phb-i-want-to-play-most list followed closely by Druid.

Dang, I wish the sheet was a bit clearer! Not complaining, but this class seems to be exactly what I've wanted from it...

We kind of discussed the idea of minion death having a minimum of 5 or something damage to kill it. I know it kind of gimps the fighter auto-minion killing cleave, but at higher levels I think it's reasonable. We agreed not to bother with it now, but once we get to Paragon I might do something a...

I wonder how much damage would be done by reflavoring some of the fighter powers by simply making them ranged? The mark & combat challenge would have to be tweaked a bit... but the idea being they're doing "suppression fire" and if the marked individual took their eyes off that fire it'd...

Fallen Seraph, any generic fast and loose rules you're having for your re-fluff/re-crunch to make arcane more this direction?
