    Mapping the Nentir Vale

    So awesome! Have you thought about mapping the areas outside of the Vale that are detailed in Dragon and Dungeon magazine and the published adventures? I think there are a few locations that have "fixed" points in relation to the Vale.

    Mapping the Nentir Vale

    OK, this is really awesome. I love the Nentir Vale, and as the majority of my games have taken place there, I'm going to show these to the players.

    Defeating my powergamer Glave master

    Skill challenges :-) Do his opponents snipe him and then jump or climb to higher ground using athletics? Is he caught in a situation where his only means of survival is diplomacy or an otherwise glib tongue?

    Can't find a used PHB v.3.5 for under $45 USD

    Right after Christmas there were more 4e books for sale at my local used bookstores than 3.5 books! Now the balance has shifted back to mostly 3.5 stuff, however.

    What do you think the new setting will be, from Ampersand?

    Dark Sun and Spelljammer really need to be the flagship settings for an entirely new set of rules divorced from D&D but still under WotC. Along with Star Frontiers and Gamma World, there needs to be a new sci-fi "core" like Alternity (and to an extent d20 Modern). Throw Ravenloft into a new...

    Any word on the GSL?

    Guys, it snowed in North Carolina. GSL delayed another month. edit I knew that as soon as I posted this, the scathing satire of my words would cause the GSL to be released. You're welcome everyone.

    Character Sheets: Quick Reference or "Kitchen Sink"?

    I want all the combat/game mechanic stuff on the front page in a layout that lends itself to easily find information. Color coding would be nice, as well as "icons" to reinforce location of information in memory. All the other stuff can go on the back, and the worksheet can go in the notebook.

    Which of these old school modules are worth getting?

    The DCC module "The Mysterious Tower" is (if I recall correctly) fairly similar to "Ghost Tower of Inverness." Also, there's a HackMaster version of Inverness called "Demon Tower of Madness." I don't know if there was an AD&D 2e conversion of Inverness, but just with that material alone you...

    How Much Will You Carry to a Game?

    I carry way too much and I need to figure out a way to cut it down. I use a laptop now, but I really prefer full analog style gaming. If I can get EVERYTHING for a game to fit into one of those Staples brand cardboard storage boxes, I'll be happy.

    D20 - Most Aesthetically Pleasing Die

    I actually do like the d12, simply because it is the die with the most number of sides and the easiest legibility of the standard D&D poly set. I also like the 12-sided die because it can be re-purposed as a d4 or d6. Next to the d12, I love my d7s. Mostly because they look so funky. Also, I...

    digital insider: Monk in PH3, playtest in May

    Assassins, familiars and monks! And with the PHB containing half-orcs and gnomes... wow, I almost have enough rules from 3 or 4 books to replicate what I had in my 1e and 3e PHBs!

    Gary Con Registration

    This may seem like a silly question, but where is the nearest airport to this convention?

    I want PHB 2 now

    If it really does have the Gnome, Half-Orc, Barbarian, Druid and Bard in it, then I want it. After I get Dungeon Delve, that should finalize all I need in the way of HC books for 4e.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder page count change

    It would be cool if you did have an open content setting though. Of course, I understand that you don't want some schlub publisher putting out "The Secret Furry Lifestyles of the Pathfinder Gawds" but it would still be a cool option. The open setting, not the aforementioned book.

    3.5 Discounts (Forked Thread: New 3.xE Products in 2009)

    At my local used book stores, they were each flooded with 3.5 books right after Christmas. However, if you're looking for 3.5 books for under 1/2 off, you may have missed the boat on that one.

    Status of D&D Game Table?

    Right now, WotC doesn't seem to have the resources to put into developing a game table with virtual 3-D customizable minis, 2-D terrain or any kind of minor rules implementation (such as light radius). They seem to be in an even worse state in this regard than they were when the DDI was...

    What are the "must have" 4E supplements thus far?

    As a DM, I would say Dungeon Tiles. However, keeping in mind everything else on here is a book, I voted Adventurer's Vault. I have great hopes for Dungeon Delve, when it is released.

    Anyone using Onenote?

    Yeah, I'm not sure if there's a good way to track initiative, as I don't think there is any kind of auto-sorting option for tables in OneNote.

    Anyone using Onenote?

    I've been using OneNote to organize Warhammer 40k army lists and to transcribe handwritten scanned notes (that are far too messy for OCR). It does indeed look like it could be a great DM campaign tool.
