Oh shoot, I guess I lied! I did run that adventure. My players ended up taking out the dragon, but they shouldn't've. I felt things were going south too quickly so I did some dumber tactics than I should have. The players quickly used second winds and a few careful shots ended up going the other...

I've never run one but I'm a relatively new DM (only a few years). The big issue for me was my first setting I DM'd was Dark Sun and so many iconics including dragons weren't really with the theme of the setting. I'm trying to set one up in my homebrew campaign now for 5th level players...

If you're looking to solve the problem of "shadowy conspiracy" in a crappy-post-apocalyptic world, I suggest you check out the HBO series Carnivalé (2 seasons). It's very mystical with conspiracy stuff with a story that takes place in the west during the great depression with a traveling...

Very neat. I like how it seems you could run entire campaigns against some of the iconic monster groups (orcs, gnolls, etc) and keep the combat fresh and different. Great job Ari... articles like this really make DDI shine. Suddenly I'm trying to figure out reasons for my players to fight...

The map seems underwhelming for a "capital" city as cool as the idea is.

2E - Too much of a requirement to look stuff up in the books mid-game 3E - DMing was a pain with complex monster statblocks, Players could easily build their characters to take up 50% of the tabletime, tons of splatbooks for only two major settings with too much time spent on each 4E - Bloated...

Hmmmm... thanks... I think when it comes to RPG books the gems can't really be that much higher than the weaker points. The more I look at my pile here the more it seems like I'd probably get the same dollar amount for lot versus individual but be stuck with a few books. Might as well give them...

Nice! Thanks... looks like some potentially good options for some of my players. I'm eager to check out that giantkiller one.

I'm planning on trying to unload some of my older books (3.5, wod) on ebay. Not expecting to get much if anything, but I was curious if anybody had suggestion as to whether I should do a big lot of them or if it'll be better to do individuals? Any general suggestions with selling these types...

Yeah a fork might be in order... Any chance on please listing some of the Ranger Paragon paths? Perhaps name and specific build (melee, range, beast?) Did you get the book from a local retailer? I checked Borders yesterday who broke street date on pretty much everything since core but no cigar.

I know there's 40 of them... but I'm curious about the Paragon Path chapter organization. Is it alphabetical? Is it by class that can use it (with maybe racial paragons at the end)? I have a Ranger player that is dying to know (Battlefield Archer and Highland Scout or whatever the FR one is...

Any speculation as to which preview we're going to see next? They seem to be eager to show these off... my guess is they'll preview in the Bard-preview format all but two of them. Seems like how they handled the 4E pre-release in general. If I had to guess, (Sorcerer or Druid) and (Avenger or...

I hadn't thought about that... I'm thinking about their NPC allies creating a diversion in town that would cause this Eladrin run fortification to clear out all nonessentials. The PCs could then head in and find the sneaky guy they're looking for. Would make sense that an Eladrin fortification...

I just saw your Monster Database, Asmor. Very cool! I didn't see too much stuff showing up in the database from the Mithrendain articles (Dungeon 157 specifically)... is there a reason or are you not supporting it any longer? Thanks for your reply!

I really like SW for one-shots or short runs that are in non-fantasy worlds (not that they couldn't work in a D&D setting, I just would rather use D&D there). I was first introduced to SW playing an Aliens game - we played as Marines storming a space ship that had went dark and fought a bunch...

I want them to add levels 4-30 ;) I'm impatient dern it! I did not like the install process. I suggested they should take out the automatic install .NET and simply have a check with a link to the latest version. That seems to be where the big issue was and because it was all together I think...

This next week will take my players into an Eladrin controlled area as they attempt to steal an artifact from one of the captains. I'm looking for any encounters involving Eladrin that might be available on DDI (I'm a subscriber). Anything I'm missing other than, of course, the Mithrendain stuff...

Holy Smokes! I didn't have an ounce of me that wanted to buy this book - even with the previews. Now I'll be pretty hard not to in the next few dry months... combined with the cool encounters the maps preview seems to indicate, I'm pretty mad at wotc for making me so eager to part with my money.

My bets are Inquisitor and Theurge

I noticed the Swordmage Dimensional Thunder power the "teleport a number of squares equal to your constitution modifier" isn't calculated. It'll be nice when the minor effects like that are auto calculated both on the power cards and in the power selection previews. When creating that guy I...
