    D&D 4E LAST CHANCE TO WIN FREE 4e Rulebooks DEADLINE JAN 30th!!! GET ENTRIES IN!!

    Damage output is a primary area to look at, but so is ability to not be penalized by the to hit penalty. Creative uses of the feat that abuse other character types are legal. As long as the character makes use of Power Attack to break the game and show that it is a mighty feat is what we are...

    Law and Chaos gone? Good Riddance!

    I think the best approach to alignment (and the one I can see them doing) is having the alignments of Lawful, Good, Evil, Chaotic and Unaligned. You choose one of these. A character who is Lawful follows a personal code and prefers structure, a good character strives to protect the meek and...

    D&D 4E "Adult" Content in 4e Art

    The recent threads about cheesecake art and how women are depicted in D&D got me thinking about the last version of the 3.5 d20 liscense and what people's feelings were on the banned content that is typical in sword and sorcery style fantasy. Basically, moderate gore and nudity, when is it...

    Locations Mentioned in Races & Classes

    This approach with 4e is very intriguing. I hope it works to bring in new players. If it does then it is worth the effect on homebrews and official campaign settings. Now we know why there is 30% of the feats with fluff based names ;)

    I broke a bad habit

    I found that players enjoy an interactive backstory. Have them come up with a concept, and then roleplay through their past at the key moments in their life. Do this one on one with the other players hanging in the next room playing video games or something. Then when pcs histories tie together...

    I broke a bad habit

    Bravo! Nice work Ryan. Our D&D groups do preludes like White Wolf suggests. All of the nitty gritty and drives for the characters come from that. Your absolutely right. We also ran DM campaign classes and Player classes in our store. These classes ran for a while, giving pointers on how to...

    Of gishes and arcane defencers and whatnot: Is 4th ed. language for everyone?

    Only real place I have seen gish being used is with game designer interviews for both rpgs and mmos. It is a term that is starting to get used amongst players for certain fighter/ arcane style builds. I agree it is a term that is going to become more and more widely used as mmos and games like...

    D&D 4E Background Suggestion for the Gnome in 4e

    Only the corrupted by evil forces gnomes would be cannibals and baby abductors

    D&D 4E Background Suggestion for the Gnome in 4e

    I was inspired by the recent pictures in the on the set cartoon and reading the Wizards Presents: Races and Classes. I thought I would share the direction I think WOTC should take the gnome. I think gnomes should become fey, like the elves have. Give them the sort of "alien" appearance you...

    Any more input?

    How would you like to see them change Dark Sun?

    D&D 4E New Campaign Setting for 4e (Part 2)

    Assume that the books content is good and fairly interesting, with solid production.

    D&D 4E 4e Ghostwalk Campaign

    That is a good point. So how would you go about reimaging the setting that way. Give bulletpoints.

    D&D 4E 4e Ghostwalk Campaign

    Ghostwalk was a unique concept, allowing players to continue playing while they are dead. I have a poll running right now in the general forums to get feedback on what players like and didn't like about the 3.0 Ghostwalk campaign and its rules for dying...

    Did you look at Ghostwalk? What did you think?

    @ Those who do not like it: What about ghostwalk didn't work with your style of play? How could the concepts of ghostwalk be changed to work with how you play? @ Those who liked it but didn't like the mechanics: How could they have improved the mechanics? What were the main hang ups? What sort...

    Did you look at Ghostwalk? What did you think?

    Ahh, Ghostwalk. One of the last contributions by Monte Cook and Sean K Reynolds while the still worked at WOTC. The game was set in an ancient city of Manifest, built over a gate to the lands of the dead. In the setting, characters who died still continued on as manifested ghosts. You could...

    D&D 4E New Campaign Setting for 4e (Part 2)

    Redo of the previous poll, this time with multiple choice. If a new campaign setting with the same production values as Eberron or Forgotten Realms was released for 4e, would you buy it? Would you play it? Would you buy it only from WOTC, what if a 3rd party released it? When referring to...
