I'm sorry, I thought it was the opposite: 3 are old, 5 are brand spanking new...

That was my biggest fear... I don't mind they don't have a 3.5 SRD or that they were saying they want to make me pay for it... but... I hoped that D&D:I would have at least as much. As it stands 3.5SRD is much much more useful and this is a step backwards compared to the srd website. So...

Might I suggest using the 1 inch grid easel paper available at Office Depot? They work great... you draw the maps on them, you can color them and everything. You can even connect large dungeon areas if you have a large enough table. In addition, you can make up several maps ahead of time and...

Just when I finish up my Dark Sun game... you post some awesome desert titles! I'll have to retool some encounters to use em! Any chance we could get these in individual digital form for use with a projector or VTT?

I didn't mind them to begin with, but when my party rolled up characters they lack a leader. D'oh! I'm starting to wonder whether or not I'm going to have to ramp up potions a bit to counteract the lack of leader... sure there's some abilities here and there but I can definitely see not having a...

Love this article - it's things like this that really makes me want to buy into their program. I ran Kobold Hall as a precursor to KotS... I'll replace a few of these for the KotS encounters to give them more flavor. I really want to see more monsters like this and it really lets you potentially...

I would love said index w/ page numbers.

You can't even cite the page number - that's REALLY annoying... especially for the MM. I mean, I can understand they may wish to revise their work and alter the page numbers, but with the format of the MM and the one monster on a page and so much white space I can't imagine they could alter it...

A kitten would work.

I'm really disappointed. I feel like the third party content just got castrated and now I'm faced with a restrictive choice - how much do I want to buy into wotc. I like 4E... but this really concerns me.

But at least third parties can use a better format. What's that you say? The GSL was released and now no third party wants to bother to make adventures? Bummer. Delve it is!

Just curious what edition Vancian spellcasting showed up? Or was it in from the beginning? I'm interested in a little bit of history about it... I played 2nd edition a bit and 3rd but am unsure about what happened prior and what sort of spellcasting changes AD&D had. Thanks!

I wouldn't calculate it at the end of the round. Afterall, everything in a round is happening near simultaneously. Perhaps I'd use a "Passive Reflex" score and then have DCs for potential actions: Weigh the platform down 5 (does not use passive) Attack 10 Attack (Force keyword) 12 - applies...

I have 2 six-month-veteran Star Wars Saga players and we picked up 3 other friends to start a 4E game. I ran into the problem of trying to get them on board considering they had no rpg or tabletop gaming (miniature gaming, heroclix, mageknight, magic, ccgs) experience. I began by playing "0...

Probably one of my top 3 favorite nonfiction books, but there's an essay in the 'sociology' book Black Rednecks & White Liberals by Thomas Sowell called "Are Jews Generic?" One of the things his studies looked at is why a "minority races" across the world are often in a position of go-between...

I'm eager for some fan trap compilations... or even a whole article of good length in Dungeon jam packed with more traps/hazards than are in the DMG. I don't mind them focusing more on these things in DMGII, but I'm not super excited if they plan to release them as extra book supplements in the...

The Skill DC lists as "Easy - Med - High," would consistent language sound better? Easy/Medium/Hard or Low/Med/High? I think the standard is to use Hard instead of High, though I don't have my books in front of me.

The PDF looks nice - one sheet with the info I need as a DM to run it. Overall from a player standpoint they just need to learn what Guiding Light is / does and that they can use a healing surge. Once it gets to the Time of Trials you can give them more info, but just those two bits shouldn't...

Harr, you definitely have recently played with some newbies. That's the exact sort of comment I'm seeing from my 3 new-to-rpgs players. Cracks me up but reminds me how much I can't assume they understand the basic mechanics that haven't changed in a decade that we all take for granted. The...

They could even cost them up a bit: 5 minis in a random pack costs X. 20 minis in a adventure pack costs 6X (should be 4X). You're paying extra for all the minis you wouldn't want that you'd have to wade through in the packs. It's actually a good deal, what are the odds that in 6 packs you'll...
