Legends of Anglerre (FATE) had a group character concept. You took the two best skill from each character and then had a series of challenges to represent the travel that were resolved in a single roll. Then you narratively described the difficulties and successes but maintained the...

I currently own 55 board games. I played board games quite a bit through my early life but fell away from them about the time the modern board game market really emerged with Settlers. About 3 years ago, one of our new role playing game buddies reintroduced us to modern board games with...

Corridor Chokepoints Depending on your DMs design, it's also a really handy spell to cover a dungeon area with multiple entry points. For example, you end up in the Orc Chieftain's throne room and guards are coming from an adjoining chamber. Drop Hunger of Hadar on that door way and voila...

Spider Druid, Spider Druid, does whatever a spider can, spins a web any size catches mobs just like flies Watch out! Here comes Spider Druid!

We play most weeks for about 2.5 hours and bi-monthly for about 5-6 hours.

I come up with a campaign concept. This almost always lead to some race restrictions. I've also allowed races not usually allowed as character races from time to time when the campaign concept supports it. In the campaign I'm just about to start, I disallowed Dragonborn and Gnomes. I also...

Prior edition maps from published adventures are always valuable. Even full adventures as a source for ideas. I still enjoy the Manual of the Planes for flavor about the various planar structures. I'll probably repackage Ptolus into another campaign at some point as well. Great material in...

Our group's reading is the you can only aid for the purposes of given a character advantage if you also have the skill as well. So that means it's not blanket advantage for all skills from the familiar, but only the thing the familiar has skills in themself.

Depends on how much of your effectiveness comes from your spells. Bumping your CHA and save DC up 1 and the benefits of your healing by 1 is non-trivial to me. If you are an archer for most of your combat damage, I'd go DEX. I'd personally pass on CON.

Both sub-types appeal to me, so I think it depends on what I want to do from a role-play and party mix perspective. My Bard is a Skald from the North, so he's a valour bard wielding a Great Sword. His spells are focused on healing and utility effects for the most part since he's not buffing or...

I play a weekly game and am starting a bi-monthly game. Plenty of D&D in my life, I'm fortunate.

In the process of sketching out a Great Old One Warlock idea and my friend threw out something like Pattern (Shallan Davar's spren companion) from The Stormlight ARchive which I really like. Something inscrutable and odd seems like the common idea here.

Any new paragon paths or epic destinies?

Check out the True20 damage tracks if you're looking for something like this.

The biggest factor would probably be resolving iterative attacks and the impact of buffs on said attacks. Both players and monsters in 3e end up with a lot of attacks at higher level and once you start applying buffs and attack options to multiple attacks, they take longer to resolve.

I'd speculate the defense will be level appropriate, but the hit points will be low enough to be a one shot kill by an similarly leveled character. I'm really looking forward to minions, wading through minions makes you feel heroic....

Agree, At-Wills are the base attack you do when you aren't using an encounter power or a daily. With the number of encounter powers you'll end up with at higher levels, at-wills will be used less often so not in need of replacement. I expect they'll remain the same until epic levels...

This is about as early as they should be releasing information for the hype factor. We are a bad audience, most of us have a strong opinion already of buy or no-buy, so all we desire is the information now. You don't want to hype the product for very long before making it available to the...

Sid Meier's Pirates and Civilization IV.

The big key here is food. Every local municipality will require a food source. I think any city or township that relied on food from distant source will be a ghost town for the players to find and wonder about.... Iron is important for building weapons, but not necessary that you have a...
