QFT! I've collected since Harbinger as well. Minimum of 2 cases per set, sometimes as much as 6 cases - though 2 cases have been the norm for the last year or two. Ode to D&D minis: I've always had my "Dragoneye" on miniatures. I have considered the miniatures from WotC, while not always...

I'm not sure an MMO is big enough to sustain the general RPGing public. There has to be something big, something that generates big excitement - such as new movies. Without that, the RPG fanbase slowly dwindles until its simply not worth the licensing fees anymore. I think almost all the...

I somehow doubt it. Very Rares are usually chase rares that people want. If people don't want it, then the very idea of a Very Rare becomes moot. The Very Rare exists to push people to buy that next booster in hopes they get that figure when the odds are so small that its just not going to...

Honestly, this was long forseen. With no new movies, there just isn't anything to sustain the excitement of Star Wars to the general public. There will always be the die hards but for a Star Wars rpg to be sustainable there has to be other things that drive it - like movies. Maybe when the...

I can tell you I'm pretty pissed about the news that they are doing Very Rares in the mini sets. I stopped collecting Star Wars minis for this reason, and may very well choose to stop buying D&D minis. Very Rares are nothing but a money grab!:rant:

I wonder if Fear Aura is something that may eventually get dropped with dragons. While its cool for a dragon to have I am thinking that it is less and less needed. Maybe its time its replaced with something that makes dragons cool again. FWIW, I like how 4e dragons are made, but I haven't had...

During my current campaign, I have found the followinig tactic to be pretty effective: At major decision points in the campaign/story, particularly when the players are at odds on how to proceed to their goals, I often call for a break. We summarize what the players know, which in turn gives...

Not sure if this is common knowledge yet, but the February Content Calendar at WotC shows a PH3 Debut for the Battlemind. I'm guessing this is a psionic class but to me it sounds very jedi like which makes me wonder if this is where they are getting inspiration from for psionic abilities.

Cool. Thanks for the insight!

Monsters at 75-80% HPs and get a boost in damage. Use average damage instead of rolling for both PCs and monsters. For monsters you can vary the average damage by rolling a d6 along with the d20. If the D20 hits with an even number add the d6 to the average monster damage. If its odd...

Hey PC, Question for you - In another thread, don't remember which one, you mentioned that have your players print out a "Do something cool" power card to always remind them that is an option. I'm wondering how you adjudicate the benefits, particularly damage, when they use this? I've found...

My gosh I2K, go to the D&D Twitter Page: Wizards_DnD (Wizards_DnD) on Twitter You may have to scroll down a few pages and you will find this: @cordaxmike RAW, no - the bloodied condition does not end when a character is dying. (official answer) 2:16 PM Jan 21st from TweetDeck in reply to...

Something like that. ;) This should resolve the debate once and for all for the cleric power Consecrated Ground.

Jack99 mentioned in his Font of Life (I think that is what it was called) thread that WotC answered some questions on Twitter last night. The biggest answer I noticed on there was that WotC confirmed that you are blooded while dying. I posted that in his thread, but has not seen any traction...

Thanks for the heads up. I took a look at some of the answers and found this nugget: Does the bloodied condition end when a player is reduced below 0 hp and is then dying? RAW, no - the bloodied condition does not end when a character is dying. (official answer) Hopefully that will...

I've run some really interesting skill challenges lately, by playing with the results of failures. Some are totally my own idea, some have been ripped off. Here goes: Last session we hit epic tier and I designed a fight where the PCs would be fighitng on some earthmotes. The premise is that...

Absolutely true. 4e maps are nice to look at, but a pain to draw. I think the next big innovation from Wotc needs to be large scale map prinouts that people can use so the players get to see what the DM sees!

Yeah, I can't say I'm overly fond of Dungeon either. I used to prefer Dungeon to Dragon, now its reverse. They've done a good job on the player side of things. The DM side, not so much.

Agreed on both counts.

Sorry, I can see how my statement could be confusing. It's through the use of multiple powers. Again most of my experience is with 2 leaders. So, I see a guy drop, learder 1 do a heal, leader 2 do a heal, etc so that it is effectively like a Heal spell from previous editions. As DM in the...
