    No more WotC Star Wars site

    Star Wars, like other RPGs based on movies or TV series, requires new material to continually drive interest in RPG sales. Without that it becomes a niche market and the further its been since a movie/TV series release the less and less interest it draws until it reaches a point where the...

    limited edition Orcus figure

    I hope I'm wrong... My local store's owner, who I happen to be friends with, looked into this and the reply we got was basically that the store had to be involved with D&D Encounters to get it and even then the store would only get one. I've been trying to find a site that had some official...

    limited edition Orcus figure

    My understanding is that its about 1 per store, and ONLY if your store hosts D&D Encounters. Furthermore, I've heard it is presented to the store with a plaque (spelling?) on it with the stores name basically making just about impossible to get. Which really PISSES me off. I have supported...

    Summer Madness, defiling Dark Sun info :)

    The minis picture now works... The cloaker looks fantastic. The HUGE Hezrou and Draegloth look pretty good to as does the medium sized Spell Weaver. The Spell Weaver I am glad to see as I though they were a pretty cool creature from Dungeon back when Paizo was doing them. According to Peter...

    No update to Monster Builder this month?

    Also found this on WotC boards: June 2010 Character Builder and Adventure Tool News No Monster Builder Update This Month: We’re implementing the new Monster statistics block in our database, and we need to do more testing to make sure all the monsters get converted over properly from...

    No update to Monster Builder this month?

    I hope this is the case but I'm skeptical. Do you have a link or a source for this info? Edit: Looks like you are correct. Found the following on Twitter: @Alphastream I hear you alpha - We should have the new monster stat block next month and hopefully more good news to come after...

    Forced teleport question - dropping the target

    Only if they are trained in acrobatics.

    Skill Challenges: How Much Have They Improved?

    We do things by rounds too. We roll init at the beginning of some skill challenges and go in that order. Delaying and/or skipping your turn is not an option. Situations change (and available skills) based on what has succeeded and failed prior to your turn. If a skill is used more than once...

    What rule does your group ignore?

    There are rules for D&D? ;) What?

    Epic-Tier, or High-Level Gaming and You

    This is something I noticed very early on in 4e. I just don't understand the thinking for the low damage expressions.

    Question about flying powers

    Correct. This is far more useful than it first seems.

    What will Masterplan be after the C&D?

    I suspect that Wizards sent the C&D now because Masterplan was suddenly getting a lot of exposure. I was introduced to it only a month ago. The number of new users since then has exploded greatly as far as I can tell. Suddenly the new buzzword in 4e is Masterplan and it reaches the ears of...

    Epic-Tier, or High-Level Gaming and You

    I suspect they have delayed DMG3 simply so they can gather more data on Epic Tier play. It's just speculation of course, but Epic Tier needs a bit more work and exposes more flaws/concerns with 4e design than the earlier tiers. I really think the stories behind E1-3 are fantastic. Some of the...

    Epic-Tier, or High-Level Gaming and You

    Our group has a slighlty different strategy. As a group we have a lot of powers that effectively remove monsters for a round or two. This whittles down the monsters and lets us focus on one or two without too much reprisal. By the time they come back, the monsters have lost 1 or 2 of their...

    Epic-Tier, or High-Level Gaming and You

    Our group is about to reach 27th level. I can tell you: Well built PCs can be tough to challenge. A well built group that synergizes well makes it even harder to challenge. The DM should not go easy on the group - the players have a vast amount of abilities and can generally get around...

    Warden Polearm Builds

    I'm still torn on Sudden Roots and whether or not it will be useful. I think I will take it on level 2 - that way I can gauge the DM and how often he will provoke, Since Second Wind involves spending a healing surge, Amulet of Life should trigger with that - but not only that like Walking...

    Warden Polearm Builds

    Aulirophile, Your build is similar to what I had in mind. Same stats, almost identical feats, and short of one at-will and one utility the same powers. Also thanks for the insight on how it plays. Unfortunately, we don't allow the Eberron Marks so that is not an option - its the only thing...

    Warden Polearm Builds

    I'm looking for some suggestions or sample builds for a Goliath Warden based on using a Polearm. I'm just looking for Heroic Tier builds for now. I've been on the WotC forum and read a few of the char op builds but none of the builds seem to suit my fancy (not that I read too in depth) short...
