    Character Builder Beta available

    Okay... so I just rewrote my next sessions encounters using NPCs made with this. Yeah, I know, it isn't exactly what it's intended for... but throwing on some high level magical equipment to give adequate bonuses and fudging the HP has got me a nice gnome assault party including an illusionist...

    Character Builder Beta available

    Yeah I'm considering trying to keep future games to <3 until we can go ahead and get some good sheets. Guess party death at the end of level 3 will become pretty common until those guys get more levels. The team has done a great job. This is the first time I've been truly excited about DDI...

    Topps Shuts Down WizKids

    The two interesting things will be the Mage Knight universe and the clix patent. I don't know too much about the universe, but I thought they had comics and such for a while. I'm not sure if it has a fan following enough for someone to buy it rather than simply make their own fantasy universe...

    Character Builder Beta available

    Not as of yet... but I hope enough people suggest this feature!!! Would be great to import the character data into a whole number of various sheets. It could potentially help people track down certain bugs when given access to the raw way it stores the sheet to figure out where that pesky +1 is...

    Character Builder Beta available

    Woot! I uninstalled everything, grabbed the .NET link directly from MS and it works. I'm impressed... seems to be straightforward. Three thoughts: 1) More levels! My party just hit 5 and it would be nice to use those damnned useful power cards. 2) Can't seem to houserule backgrounds yet. I...

    Character Builder Beta available

    I can't get it running... doing a reinstall to see if it helps, but in the mean time... word was that the PHB2 classes would be listed somewhere in there. Is that the case? If so any official confirmation of the last two classes (Inquisitor and Theurge?)

    So I have the Martial Powers book.

    Time (opportunity cost), Calorie costs, wear and tear on your joints and bike parts, potential pollutants inhaled, and the risk of the ultimate cost (death) is higher. =) Absolutely those costs might outweigh the dollar cost of gasoline and car maintenance, but it simply isn't true that there's...

    What do you want WOTC to release as the next 4e campaign setting?

    Wikipedia seems to consider 2010 as the Dragonlance year. It's listed there on the setting page and is also listed as the third setting (after FR and E) for 4th edition elsewhere. Someone might wanna clean that up or figure out the source...

    What do you want WOTC to release as the next 4e campaign setting?

    One of the most unique aspects of AD&D Dark Sun was the restrictions placed on the characters in so many ways. I'd be curious to see if the new mindset of "everything available in every setting" would hurt that. My vote would be for a "reset" to the original boxed set. Tyr isn't free (but...

    What do you want WOTC to release as the next 4e campaign setting?

    I'm not terribly familiar with GH, but it seems too familiar to the stuff we've already got to seem like a big selling supplement without seeming kind of stale if it's the 2010 release. I voted Dark Sun because it seems most interesting to me - always has even if I didn't like certain aspects...

    DMG2 in September

    I think number one will be Trap-based stuff. Lots and lots more new traps and trap creation rules.

    Compiled info on upcoming classes & races

    That would answer my question about what a Primal Defender would be! I had anticipated that class to be divine. Which comes out first the Arcane splatbook or the Divine one? I'm wondering what else we'll be getting in terms of Divine classes prior to that book since Arcane looks to be fairly...

    Help me design a plot-item...

    Interesting idea! I'll have to break out my AV to get the details, so i can't check at work... but will be eager to start this up.

    Down for me on two systems :-(

    Help me design a plot-item...

    3 level 5 characters (ranger,pally,cleric) need to find three parts to a plot-item. The goal once the item is assembled or activated is to destroy a fey-gate that allows Eladrin to freely move into the material plane. I'd like the item to have three parts, a neat theme, and each part does...

    Barbarian is up!!!

    That could work provided that the requirement was they were only wearing the base armor. Pick feats to jump above that and you lose the bonus... but potentially pick up some various magic items.

    Primal Defender - any guesses?

    What if they made the druid wholly controller (vines, storms, etc) and had some sort of shapeshifter class to fill that role for close up melee? Like Skinwalker or something... that could get up close and personal. It's secondary could be more another class depending on the forms you choose.

    Primal Defender - any guesses?

    We now know that the Barbarian is a Primal Striker. I know they perhaps wont try to force roles that don't make any sense, but I think a primal defender is entirely reasonable. Anybody have any ideas on name, specific flavor, etc? I'm guessing Druid will be Controller and Shaman will be Leader.

    Weird political systems

    I thought I replied but I guess not... I always thought it'd be cool to have the leader be chosen by some unknown (magic? divine?) way that was very clear and obvious. So the person in the city that had blue skin was the ruler. That could change at any moment with the color disappearing and it...
