RW, In a nutshell, that really IS what D&D is. If you simplify the math, it pretty much comes down to about 4HP per PC and monster, with adjustments for elites and solos. Damage IS about 1HP. In the past I have looked at this kind of method to speed up the game, and it does have merrit...

The trailers for Game of Thrones looks awesome. Just like PC's game sounds awesome! ;)

We currently use OP. I think it works well, although you have to spend a bit of time learning how to get the best out of it. It's nice that you can do things simply or if you spend the time, you can really jazz things up with pictures, fonts, etc. There are some REALLY REALLY nice ones out...

Hey PC, What would have happened if the players failed the SC? Just curious.

I think this is a fantastic topic. Our group has tried a lot of different methods. Ultimately, we go back to the lame imitation method because it has the right combination of cheap and quickness for setting it up. D&D has become more and more about the visual experience. From graph paper...

I think the Assassin's Creed console game highlights a lot of great possibilities for Assassination Skill Challenges. They often force you to scout around for the best approach path (path of least resistance), defeat peripheral bad guys before killing the main target, it often involves...

FWIW, I pretty much agree with the OP. I have bought a yearly subscription from day 1 and have renewed time and again and (unfortunately) renewed about a month before the new CB came out which leaves me with about a 10 months left on my subscription. WotC has those 10 months to drastically...

I felt the same PC. I was a big fan of 2e initiative system. Like you, I was also against the 3e change but after seeing the big time savings it was well worth the change. Still, I do miss the variables that come into play with a different initative every round...

Interface is nice looking. Built a character without any issues. Tried to deselect a feat and it crashed. Went back in, asked if I wanted to recover the character which I tried and sent me back to the same error. Loaded program again, this time I deleted the character (as it was a copy of...

Sneak preview of the Monster Vault has the Doppleganger. Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Doppelganger) Looks scary. This is one of my favorite creatures so far...

Beyond the continued concerns of the limitation of 20 characters, I'm not sure this thread has much reason to exist any more. I humbly request a swing shut on this one. If anyone has anything further to add, they could always start a new one. Just my opinion of course. ;)

Mike uses his BB to send an IM to someone in the office stating he needs to pee but he can't leave so someone should come into the room and claim that he is needed for a meeting. Then he can go pee.

First - the solos are getting better, much better. Second - I still feel WotC could go much, much further. Mechanically so many creatures feel like so many other creatures, even if the description is a bit different. I really like what Rangerwickett had to say in his post. Solos (and even...

Personally, I hope you get an upgrade to your avatar - you know, maybe a little less clothing or something... :D

My bad. Did not know that. Thanks for the tip! ;)

Um, Monster Vault is a boxed set monster manual that comes with tokens among other things. Think new versions of MM1 creatures with a splash of new ones in there. I'm not aware of any adventure that is a part of it.

And, if I'm not mistaken, you would need to speak in the voice of Danny Most. ;)

That would be Drammattex, who has posted in this thread... ;)

I think this is a fantastic idea. Consider it yoinked (if you don't mind of course). What I really like about this is that it give the players options. They can easily play the extra guys, they don't have to roll dice - just move them and do X damage. So it gives them a lot of tactical...

They must be John Travolta Dancing Shoes +5. Nice answer!
