    Who's your favorite Villain?

    That's a great one. I love love that show to this day. For me over the years, I would say that my favorite villains are: By conceptualized D&D tier: Heroic: - HBO's Deadwood: Al Swearengen. A twisted, conniving hostler and businessman; but a guy you can deal with in certain situations. -...

    Making superhero gear make sense (mostly Marvel related)

    Yeah I saw the cover number too, but I can't confirm it was in that issue. Wikipedia for Clone Saga says it was in #226, so its probably the three-issue 'Peter commits spousal abuse' arc. Great way to round out a 'great' comic event. It makes Secret Invasion look like a freakin masterpiece...

    [Humor] D&D Outsider: Naughty or Nice?

    Yeah I just loaded the Old CB. Its legal. I should have done that in the first place to check. Thanks.

    [Humor] D&D Outsider: Naughty or Nice?

    For fun I tried making a hybrid beastmaster ranger / shaman, but was unable to get the hybrid rules to give me the beastmaster as an option. I even tried taking Hybrid Talent to find that option, but it wouldn't let me. So my question (not owning the PHB3), can you make a hybrid with this...

    New Multiplatform D&D Game

    I'd rather play a GTA-style game set in Silverymoon. :devil:

    Making superhero gear make sense (mostly Marvel related)

    Reading comics is invariably an exercise in seeing how far along you can go before you feel betrayed. Its a very similar cycle to D&D. I'm not going to elaborate, because that statement can be read as true by all sides (or none). I also am not singling out a specific edition ....m'kay...

    Making superhero gear make sense (mostly Marvel related)

    The 'slapfest' occurred somewhere in #226-228 of Spectacular Spiderman. I tried looking for a chip of the incident but only found a cover. I know I saw it before .... because I used it in a thread in comic book resources I posted to defending Hank Pym. Yes. That Hank Pym: Sorry to...

    Character Builder has been Updated!

    Sentinel's animal companions don't auto-generate. Sentinel's seasonal weapon dice bonuses don't populate in powers (ala d12's for bear sentinels). Still looking. Why does every character I make from HotFK get a +2 to their Saving Throws?? C.I.D.

    Making superhero gear make sense (mostly Marvel related)

    Well X-Men wear black utilitarian leather/special ops in some incarnations and eras. Captain America has gone through phases of a more utilitarian or governmental look, even when he wasn't on the govt. dime. And I seem to remember a lot of superhero artists shifting away from colorful...

    Making superhero gear make sense (mostly Marvel related)

    It happened in the 1990's during the Clone Saga (so it was the Peter and Mary Jane era still). Admittedly Peter was slightly out of his mind, but this event is often brought up as an example of one character getting a pass for something while another one doesn't. In this case I was just joking...

    Character Builder has been Updated!

    Have they fixed the Awakened Potential MC feat yet? Whenever I have a non-psionic PC pick it, it always gives me way too many bonus options. I also happily await (for one or two months) the campaign customizer-style features. C.I.D.

    Monster Damage

    In my current campaign, I gave the each low-level PC a modified/supped up paragon tier magic item (11th-14th) of their choice. I also used higher damage stats to get around the grind. That was before the MM3 even came out. In general, the grind was gone. Many battles felt dangerous. I killed...

    Making superhero gear make sense (mostly Marvel related)

    To be fair, let's move beyond mainstream 'cool' Marvel. Let's go to an Avengers founder, but a relatively unpopular hero: Hank Pym. (he's the gnome of Marvel) He's not that great. He's billed as a wife-beater (though Spider-Man did as much, if not worse), but he returned (?) to popularity...

    Focusing on the Positive

    As a DM: Monster/NPC Design. Hands down the best part of 4e. I don't think I'd enjoy DMing 4e if it weren't for my ability to understand the math behind monsters. 4e's design philosophy also explicitly says that there is no need to make it too complicated! I too like the p. 42 elements, even...

    D&D voted no.3 favourite toy/game!

    I'm surprised D&D is that high. The poll's criteria needs to be reviewed. I wonder if they included console video games as a specific item, broke it out by type (i.e. Xbox, Wii, PS3), or included it all? I would have thought a Barbie Doll would be #1 or #2. I love Monopoly. That plus Risk...

    The Initial Hook - Motivating PC's

    For my current campaign, I had planned it as a sandbox Points of Light-style world, but the party would be united by a strong overarching theme which gave them direction. The strong theme was that I gave each 1st level player character the option of designing an 11th - 14th paragon tier item...

    Writing - When do you use\not use computers?

    - Going on a run through DC parks and bridges. Mind wanders. - Listening to heavy metal or classical ... brooding, running through NPCs' mindsets to help with plots, visualizing the game world. - Reading randomness on wikipedia often leads to quickest inspiration. Today for example I...

    Scales of War - Feedback and Advice

    The optional background benefits for Scales of War are not really standardized and are overpowered IMO. They do not follow the typical background benefit structure found in the Character Builder, Player's Handbook 2, and elsewhere. As for as playing Scales of War, I can't say that I have...

    Gaming and Family

    I hate to say it, but I'm currently in the 'hide my hobby' from the world mode. That probably should be an option. I'm a nearly weekly gamer/DM/sometimes player, but I don't have a serious SO currently. The girl(s) I've been dating probably wouldn't 'get' the hobby. They might feign support...
