    Forked Thread: Rate WotC as a company: 4e Complete?

    I certainly feel that is in incomplete. It was obviously designed with the PHB 2 "expansion" in mind. However, if I were a totally new player coming to the game, I wouldn't see it that way.

    Looking for Earliest Surviving RPG Recordings...

    Good luck... I've been looking for the same thing. I was hoping against hope that someone had filmed early wargames or late 70s early 80s conventions and transferred them to a digital format... but no such luck yet.

    Online Play: Who is doing it, where and how?

    I often hear people say that there are free or readily available virtual gaming spaces online as an alternative to the (currently vaporware) DDI. Over the past 7 years, my cost of living expenses have been rising much faster than my level of income. In addition to this, the spike in energy...

    D&D 4E Issues with 4e character sheets...Not cool WotC...just not cool...

    Or a set of Dungeon Tiles. Both of which are much more valuable to the average gamer. B-)

    D&D 4E Issues with 4e character sheets...Not cool WotC...just not cool...

    This product is simply terrible. Even if it was advertised with the proper page count, it would still be a disappointment. I really feel sorry for anyone who buys this without researching it first.

    Return to White Plume Mountain - your experiences?

    OK, hopefully I'm not too off-topic here, but I ran the 3.5 conversion of White Plume Mountain (Revised) that was released as a free download by WotC. A very cool thing for them to do, IMO B-) I used the DCC Legacy of the Savage Kings as a lead-in to the module, using that area to fill in WPM's...

    Female gamers: Weal or woe?

    I ran a short campaign for a group of college girls. It wasn't really any different from other gaming groups, except for the one night when they were crocheting while role-playing. Also, none of my male players have ever shown me their nipple piercings. I had to put a stop to that. The...

    Do people actually play the Prankster archetype?

    Yep, I've played it and seen it played.

    How many encounters per day?

    My players were able to handle 8 encounters over two game sessions with no "extended rest" to recharge their healing surges and daily powers. It was a 1st level party. One of these encounters was very challenging, two were moderately tough, three were 1st level encounters, and two were...

    How much face-to-face 4e have you played so far?

    Around 24 hours. I played in a demo that lasted around 5 hours, and I ran three separate demos that lasted around 3 hours each. I've just started a new campaign, and we've played twice, around five hours per session. All of this has been using the KotS kobold encounters, in addition to bits...

    Anyone seen the July 3th Colbert Report?

    ... and he wrote one of the essays in the 30 Years of Adventure book.

    What Campaign Settings will you purchase?

    I voted Greyhawk, Other and None (Homebrew all the way). Greyhawk: I'd love to see a setting book for it again. However, the book would have to have the utility of the 3e Living Greyhawk Gazetteer and the 1e Folio for me to buy it. Other: Mystara, possibly. None: I'd purchase a well done...

    Goodman is clearly going to the GSL.

    I am curious as to how this will affect their C&C line. I am no GSL expert, but since (I think) the C&C products make use of the OGL, they would be out the door along with the 3.5 DCC modules.

    What Free RPG Day swag did you get?

    It looks like many folks missed out on the Hollow Earth Expedition adventure. I know that my FLGS only had 3 or 4 of those in two boxes of stuff.

    How do you tab your PHB and other books?

    I tabbed my Hackmaster books and it was very helpful. I plan on doing the same for my D&D 4e books. I'll probably print out my own small tabs for the Monster Manual so that I can have all 26 letters of the alphabet visible at once, with "Monster name to Monster name." It'll be pretty tiny...

    Names for Wizard School Student Groups

    Just remember that in order for a flavor text name to be 4e compatible, it has to be two words smashed into one. For 1e compatibility, your name reversed will work fine.

    4e D&D GSL Live

    OK, maybe someone can explain this to me in layman's terms. As I understand it, if you publish under the GSL, then you agree not to publish under the OGL. However, you CAN go back to the OGL, BUT if you do so, you will never be granted the right to use the GSL again. Is this correct, or is it...
