The SSD I purchased has been the most obvious upgrade I've ever done to a computer since I went from 8 megs of RAM to 32 megs. Be sure to do some google searching about how to optimize windows once you get the drive (things like defrag, indexing, etc should be examined). Windows 7 apparently...

How about... wide, narrow, wide. You create almost a campaign world similar to what they're doing with Elsir Vale... somewhat generic, but cool elements inside that make it fun and recognizeable without being overbearing. You create an event that is the "center" of the campaign. Some...

Shroomy: That is a good idea... sort of give it a double edged sword. Yes, they can rock, but also summoning too many can prove problematic for your party. Wish they'd used it.

Neat... swarm druid might be tempting! I have a winter-themed controllery-druid... I wonder if the crunch might play well combined with some new powers to have his "beast form" be an actual mini-blizzard. I also like that summoned druid creatures have a default attack if you don't do anything...

I'm definitely not anti-new class, though I guess I'm only really taking issue with the Warlord. In a delve or gameday event, I'd definitely pick one just to give it a shot - I don't want to knock it too bad until I try it. I just don't want to try it the most based on my initial and recent...

I'd certainly say DMG2 over MM2 if you have DDI. Sure there's some great new fluff, but I find it easier to create fluff around monsters than to come up with some of the great stuff they have in DMG2. I'd like to echo the comments that the reprints make me wary. Not bad enough to make me...

Yeah I don't know... I think it's interesting the Cleric is faring so well but the other leaders are not. In my opinion, the Warlord would've been the first to go - something just doesn't sit right with the implementation of that concept. I've never been interested in playing a Shaman, though I...

Teleporting is what gets me. Push, Pull, various powers I can link up better... but how do I make Fey Step work so it's useful and fun while still not using a grid?

Elemental Cleric stuff?

I was sort of thinking about this a bunch recently. Early on in my campaign we lacked a rogue or thievery training. As a result I went traps light. A player had to drop out and was replaced by another that played a rogue. As I phased in traps as a possible issue in addition to enemies, it was a...

Crazy! I wonder if the Warden article snuck it up, too. Still no info about ki focus stuff... I don't remember if Mearls said it'd be in a future article or if it'd be in the Paragon/Epic articles.

Assassin NPC ideas... I figure take the Rogue template, give them shroud & shade. Maybe setup an at-will with two sets of stats for two different weapons or something to give it that special feeling. Any other ideas? I plan on running a level 10 in Tuesday's game.

Is RotG setup like adventures (I think the last one I read thoroughly was in the H series) where it's chronological mix of story elements and encounters.... or is it setup like Dungeon where it's all the story elements (including the conclusion) and then it lists all the encounters - i.e. lots...

Sweet! I'm hoping mine arrives on time as the Wednesday after release the players will need to take an NPC into combat and I'd love to use these rules... what info does the table contain (not the content, but the headings) other than level / hp / healing surges? Suggestions for #/amount of...

Can we please make sure to Spoiler-tag the stuff from the adventure? I typically DM and want to get the juice on the DMG2, but one of my players has shown interest in DMing revenge of the giants, so I want to try to avoid anything that'd give me an unfair advantage. What would you see is the...

Didn't want to put it in the subject, but this has to do with the Battle for Overlook. So we're playing through a heavily modiified version of the Temple Between. The characters should finish up Mountainroot the next session or so... getting ready for the war council skill challenge, I was...

Two observations: Is "Al" an elf now? I seem to see them bouncing around that a bit and I noticed that the comic has his eyes elf-like. I also think that "Mike" Gabe is a pretty huge testament to how much easier 4E is to DM than previous editions. In the short year it's been since he threw...

What are these? I don't read PVP regularly so I must've missed it. I know that from PA Gabe is doing the art for that Player's-guide thingie next summer and that the stickers he uses in his game for status effects are looking for some kind of release. I really like these. It gives the chance...

My last DS game ended abruptly about a week before 4E was announced. I hope to gather up 2 of the players and combine with 3 new in my current group and continue the storyline. We basically had the events of Freedom happen (though not so railroaded and they actually got to participate) but the...

None that I've found. I expect we'll see some at some cons next year being as DMG3 is going to have lots of epic stuff... but with an attempt to get the system into the hands of newbies, I'm not sure that epic pregens have been a priority. In fact, I know some newbies were having a little bit of...
