Going to have scans of all the character sheets up on my site today, for sure. And I'll be at the Dark Sun seminar on Saturday covering it.

Almost every frickin' adventure in Paragon and Epic, it seems.

Wow, my first ninja! Take that, Pennsylvania! My advice is to try to ease them into it however you can. Maybe, if it's feasible, have them show up early for one short, easy encounter before everyone else. Also, be involved in character design. I found that the key to making paragon and epic...

Any chance you can run them in a few easy prelude adventures? The best way to keep the new options from being overwhelming is to give them time to get adjusted. Since you obviously don't have time to level them all the way, maybe run a few "flashbacks" which will also let them give their...

Wow, top billing :) Hope to see some others from the area come too- especially because I'll be looking for lots of games to play.

I'm considering just: -Dazed is lose 1 action, grants CA -Stunned is lose 2 actions, grants CA Everything else just seems too easy to forget. Considering that blog post was from one of my players, I'm more inclined to take action to change it now :)

I started playing RPGs when I was around 5. Of course I went to science fiction conventions and watched horror movies too. I don't have kids, but I would think that as long as the parent is in the picture to explain the difference between killing things knocking things out in a game and in real...

For the record: I no longer play World of Synnibar. We tried it for a few adventures and found it just did not suit our group. I don't know if it was the divisional armor class or the flying clams, but there was just something missing about it.

Loved the 22 Talent Trees/Another 22 Talent Trees books. (And I think I bought them for $1 each.) I agree that there would have to be, at least, a lot more Talents to justify it. Which reminds me, I have the feeling that the Ability Score Classes/Descriptive Classes divide will be a pretty...

I always feel like a shill doing this, but what the heck: I've been working on a 4e-inspired version of d20 Modern on my site. The tag for all the posts is here (start from the bottom): Critical Hits » 4th power project Though obviously I'd rather play my own version and am not particularly a...

Torchwood team (or UNIT team) is specifically mentioned as one of the ways to play, though I hear that possibility might get explored more fully in a Torchwood supplement.

Hmmm.... Mike has made a lot of posts about the problem of resistances/energy types (i.e. cold wizards fighting cold beasts)... maybe he's laying the conceptual groundwork for elemental classes?

I know we've talked about this before, but boy, I couldn't even imagine doing that to my players :)

Very cool, consider the idea stolen!

Dangit, we could have stolen flying carpets? I knew we went really off-track :)

I want Encounter Builder to print out statblocks for a full encounter, preferably formatted so I can fit multiples onto a page. Basically, give me the ability to print out encounters like they are in the books.

It's also an opinion that goes against the consensus, both among gamer and non-gamer organizations, as a board game that has won tons of awards, is on lots of recommended lists, and so on, and is consistently listed as a "gateway" game. I don't think labeling something an opinion removes it...

From my skill challenge collection: Mikes Mind: Skill Challenge: Pub Fight

We first met and talked to Rob Heinsoo at DDXP 2008, who gave a lot of great background on why 4e is the way it is and what it's like to work on such a major reinvention. One of the parts I still remember is how they had talked about doing fixed damage for attacks that hit, but it would have...

I highly recommend checking this out: » The Dungeon Reality Show PDF is available now! I can personally recommend it, even as D&D to play while drinking heavily.
