Seriously... If you're chasing down your comics, you're doing it wrong. Let them come to you.

I like the magnet idea a lot... Especially if there were a metal strip along the top central edge so that you could stick papers up there easily. Alternatively, some alligator clips would work as well, but would be bulkier... The circular opening for the dice roller seems like it would be a bit...

I feel like this question has been answered somewhere, but it's not in the compendium entries for vulnerable and resist, so I don't know where... Possibly in a FAQ somewhere? In any case, both vulnerable and resist take full effect, so the final damage for an attack would be: [Damage +...

That's what I do; if it rolls off the table, it's a an automatic 1. I'm considering instituting a similar rule for cocked dice, such that if a die is cocked and it's hard to tell between two results, you take the lower of the two. Not quite as nasty as rolling off the table because cocked dice...

This is probably going to come off as snarky, but I wish Masterplan existed in an updated form with compendium integration. In particular, I suspect the compendium is going to have to switch to the new monster format eventually, and that'll probably break the integration of older versions for...

I've noticed at least one recycled piece of art in MM3, the corruption demon. I'm also suspiscious of the elementals on page 82, since the earth and water elementals have the exact same pose as some older minis (don't have the corresponding fire and air elementals to compare), so if that's not...

Their usual C&D magic? This is the only C&D I can recall which is remotely questionable. Hyperbole gets us nowhere. Not very likely. I mean, at worst, maybe a slap on the wrist from one of the admins here on the board, but I can't picture any scenario where a request like that, or even...

After further research, I retract my criticisms. It seems the licensing situation is much better now.

After further research, I retract my criticisms. It seems the licensing situation is a lot better now. Was going to advise against Hexographer due to its draconian and ill-thought out DRM, but apparently it's been improved... A little. Still not anything I'd be willing to purchase, but it's...

Perhaps a bit tangential, but fat people needn't necessarily be less strong than others. In fact, carrying around all that weight all day long tends to give your legs a good workout, if nothing else. Ditto for balance. So blanket penalties to athletics and acrobatics seem ill-advised, though...

This the guy? YouTube - MC Frontalot - I hate your blog ;)

Because nothing excites you for supporting a game like a protracted legal battle against its creator?

You totally need to start Money (by Pink Floyd) when that happens... I don't know why, but it seems to me that Money would be a great song for a fight scene. So let's see, ideas... 1. Strip club The poles are just a wealth of action potential. Heroes swinging around them to deliver kicks...

A friend uses "geek points" in his campaigns... He'll make a mildly obscure pop culture reference, e.g. name a magic sword after one in an anime, and if someone recognizes the reference they blurt it out and get a geek point. Geek points can be used for various benefits.

It's not really so much that one particular thing Masterplan was doing was necessarily illegal, but rather (I suspect WotC would argue...) Masterplan itself, like many fan-made tools--including the ones I've made--fundamentally violate WotC's copyright*. As such, the existence of such fan tools...

I love that card, one of the first I ever opened. In a nutshell, it allows you to pay for a spell in 2 installments; 1 when you charge the cauldron, and then another when you play the spell under it. I actually got a chance to use Ice Cauldron in a stack game. Used it to get around Limited...

Yes, actually. "It was always like that." This differs from "ignoring it in-character" in that it's not like these guys just showed up and you're ignoring it; rather, this is the group you accepted the original hook with, and it's the group you've completed every encounter up to that point...

It definitely does have issues. Tracking is one of them; as you say, beads would work; honestly, if I were in WotC trying to push this idea, I'd try to get "counter cards" added to the boosters replacing some tokens. The counter cards would be perforated and torn into 6 pieces, one for each...

What if there were a "Cast glossary," set up as sort of an optional reference? DMs aren't expected to read it, but if they need to know about a particular person they can find the vitals by the person's name pretty quickly.

Two companies which offer a variety of board game-sized sleeves are Mayday Games and Fantasy Flight Games. FFG's better organized, but they only offer what Mayday would call "premium" sleeves (the thickness you're probably used to with e.g. magic sleeves), which run a bit over $2 for a pack of...
