    [Adamant] VENTURE 4th: By Skill Alone

    Its easy enough to fix the failed Skill Challenge issue - just keep in mind that 3 failed rolls is an automatic failure regardless of complexity. However, it would be nice if the author went back and corrected the DCs for each skill challenge (for those of us who use the updated DCs).

    [Adamant] VENTURE 4th: By Skill Alone

    I bought this the other day and I have to say, at first glance, this looks like a very cool pdf. I'm all about new Skill Challenges and new uses for Skills in general. Great job! I can now forgive you for not releasing Against the Air Pirates! ;)

    Joining a Forgotten Realms game. What do I need to know?

    I'll echo what others have said. If you can get your hands on the 4th edition FR Players guide, you'll do great. However, in my opinion, you don't necessarily need it. I've had player's come to the table who knew abolutely nothing about the campaign. A good DM will help fill in the details...

    [Inner Circle] Races of Violet Dawn Announced

    Sweet! Question: Will The Lorebook of the Broken Isles be updated to 4th edition? I have been seriously considering buying the 3.5 edition book and using it for our campaign. However, we're currrently running a 4th edition game.

    Are You Using the 4E Forgotten Realms as a Setting?

    Yes, I'm using it and, for the most part, I like it. I've been a big FR fan from the beginning (1987) and have all the books. I've run 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3.5 and now 4th edition games in FR. But having said that, I am not a FR purist. I take things out and add other things to it. Along with my...

    Are you a Player or GM?

    BTW, why do you GM so much? I think I GM so much because we play at my house and I have a ton of RPG books. Additionally, I'd like to think that my players actually enjoy my games :) Or why don't you GM? Occasionally, I like to take breaks and let others GM. Helps me avoid burnout. Or why...

    Holy cow! (Awesome music video / LARP thing)

    Hey, they're from my hometown (Portland, OR). I think that was filmed in Mt. Tabor park.

    ENworlder: How long have you been gaming?

    I only put 10-14 years as I didn't play for chunks of time and its a better reflection. If I had played consistently during that time, it would have been 25+ years.

    Alluria Publishing and Remarkable Races

    Awesome! I'm seriously considering these for my players. However, as others have stated, I may wait for the bundle. Holiday spending taking its toll and all :)

    Do you not play WOW? Forked Thread: Wil Wheaton plays and reviews 4th.

    I'm right there with ya. I also don't play any online or computer games. I really like the social interaction that tabletop rpgs promote. Plus, I don't have the time to play games on the computer. I know that if I started playing WoW or some other online game, I would get sucked right in and...

    Revenge of the remakes or The Crow to fly again

    While I see your point, you forgot something. They got the director who did LEG -- which was disappointing. And that was the last movie he directed (according to imdb.com). The Crow remake will suck. Consider it erased from my brain :)

    Jim Butcher's Dresden Files

    Cancelled after the first season. In my opinion, it didn't have the right chemestry to attract new viewers (although I thought Paul Blackthorne did a good job as Harry). And when they altered too much from the books (like Bob), I think it repelled too many fans.

    Was Santa Claus the reason you started playing D&D?

    Yes he did!!!. When I was 12, I visited my cousin in California during the summer. He introduced me to D&D and we had a blast. That winter, I got a bunch of AD&D books for xmas. Thanks Santa! Of course, I have it on good authority that Santa is actually a multiclassed Druid/Cleric/Rogue and...

    Ancient Lich's Phylactery Found in Turkey

    Mega Archaeology: 2,900-Year-Old Gravestone Reveals Ancient Belief System Okay, not really... however, you have to admit that idea of an enduring human soul inhabiting a stone monument sounds a little bit like a lich's phylactery :)
