    4th Edition Noble Multiclass

    I'm looking forward to taking a look at this. I agree with everything that's been said, I nifty use of the multiclass rules; one which has a lot of potential for further expansion. Bravo!

    Dragon Magazine 368 ToC

    Don't forget "The Haunting of Kincep Mansion". I admit I haven't read it but it's got Haunting in the title.. :uhoh:

    My players are more understanding than I thought!

    Generally you can't go wrong if it's a 'Friends first, gamers second' scenario, sounds like you have it good :) *Edit* Note I am not implying the inverse is also true.

    My Incredible Idea

    Sounds like a good idea to me. The word mini seems a little out of place though.. ;) I've had the desire to use a mysterious plane/dimension shifting NPC for a while so that ties into my idea of *kewl* XD

    Blindfolds!

    Sounds very good. A good way to provoke an emotional response suited to the scene.

    Goodman Games embracing 4e!

    I've never bought any 3pp stuff before. My interest is piqued though. If we're fishing for previews, more details on the 6 adventure pack would be helpful, I'm particularly interested in the "Fey Maze" adventure..

    Playing Gnolls

    I like this article, as well as the one on Genasi; although they may not break new ground they provide a valuable insight which can help in roleplaying one of the less common races, at least for those who haven't seen it all before such as myself :)

    Quick deaths in D&D

    My first ever D&D experience when I was at school was a homebrew AD&D game. The other players had played before, and they needed a rogue/thief to complete their group. OK, I said full of enthusiasm, and duly roll up a character with few enough HP that the first room we enter, I get bitten BY A...

    A PC who wont kill

    Can't say fairer than that! Just hit reset..

    Actual celtic / new age music not sound tracks.

    I was lucky enough to see Altan at Cambridge folk festival this year, and second the recommendation. Couldn't agree more, though whether it fits the bill quite I'm not sure. Everyone deserves a little Renbourne in their lives. Also, Crumhorns FTW! :D

    Creative combat objectives (other than "kill 'em all")

    Wow. I opened this thread hoping for an interesting discussion and instead I got a wealth of ideas just waiting to shake up my encounter planning. Bravo sir. Dare I suggest writing a proposal for Dragon or the like? The "respawning" minion elements remind me of one of my favourite LOTR...

    Feywild Reading List - Recommendations?

    I also recommend Changeling: The Lost. I browsed it in my local bookstore over coffee (a cliché true but one of my few rpg pleasures lacking much money or a FLGS) and it inspired me to run a Feywild-heavy campaign. It's also worth noting that IIRC it includes a recommended reading list...

    What 4e products have you purchased?

    Core giftset, first two adventures, and the preview books. I'll pick up the Adventurer's Vault come payday, and maybe Pyramid, but I want to have a look at the FR stuff and assess for plunder value because I have no plans to run a Realms game atm. Very happy with everything so far. :) Ethalias

    When starting a new Campaign

    I think that's sig-worthy enough to make me create a sig.. I'm of the opinion that sometimes, especially with new players, Archetypes can be really useful and fun; it can help people gain a reference in what can be quite an alien experience.. Annnyway, back on topic.. I'm starting prep on my...

    Let's pronounce "Genasi"

    I was beginning to think I was the only one! I was shocked by how many people pronounce it with an -EE sound at the end.. Not appalled though ;)

    How do you create new minions?

    I thought this also. Will be having a go at making my own with this advice though, I find myself drawn to the smelly beasts..

    WotC: Mike Mearls and Rob Heinsoo change roles.

    I don't know much about Rob Heinsoo, but I wish him well. Going on what I heard from the Mike Mearls interview as posted here on ENWorld, he sounds like a good man for the job. Congrats Mike!

    Good city descriptions/atmosphere settings help

    Following on from Ydars' advice, give some thought to the layout of the city, but only as far as is necessary for the level of description/navigation you're going to need. If a lot of the good passing through the city from the docks are sold elsewhere, you'll need a broad arterial road running...
