I just signed up last night and I think it is worth the money already. For a DM the Encounter Builder is a godsend IMHO. I only wish that it'd automatically include the stats for the creatures selected but it still saves a great deal of time by filtering in only the monsters that would be...

I want my Druid and I want it NOW!!!

Okay... looking at this situation if I am the goblin chieftan I am going to gather my elites and slay the spirit. I'm then going to find the person who summoned it and make sure that they can't summon it again. I'm most certainly NOT going to sit around letting the thing kill all of my...

My group is going to start Thunderspire Labyrinth and another player and I are playing a Paladin and Cleric of Bahamut respectively. Here are some quotes we plan on throwing out (especially me... I'm playing a Dragonborn Cleric with fire as my breath weapon, he is playing a Human Paladin). It...

Mark me down as well for a 4E Oriental Adventures. This time it should definitely include Wuxia rules/options. It should be tweaked so that most PCs DON'T wear armor. When was the last time you saw a maintstream wuxia movie where the heroes wore armor? Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Nope...

Exactlly the same reason I got my CLP-315W. The ink cartridges in my old printer would dry up long before I used them up. 1000 pages will last me a good long time... until I start printing out maps using Dunjinni. :)

I used to think that minions felt cheap until I ran my group through the end of KotSF this last weekend. In the next to last encounter there were a group of vampire minions with AC 20 and a decent attack bonus. The AC kept them alive for some time and in that time they managed to do a good bit...

From his perspective he may think that you aren't taking his game seriously by giving your beasties funny names. Considering the amount of effort that some DMs put into their settings and games I can see how it could be upsetting to him. If he is trying to create a serious mood a silly name...

I like to use my Palm TX... especially as a Player. Not so much as a DM. I use a dice roller program where I can pre-define the dice rolls I need to make. Initiative, Attack, Damage, Saving Throw, and Skills can all be pre-defined. With a single click I can get a result and I don't have to...

This alone made me give up the Forgotten Realms setting. There are/were SO MANY powerful NPCs that I always felt that they were a safety net in case the PCs failed. I was afraid that the players might get the attitude of "We've been captured by the evil overlord but don't be alarmed...

Played: Level 20 D&D 3.0 That was during my year in South Korea and we played every Saturday & Sunday for at least 12 hours straight each day (that works out to 1248 playing hours). Our last adventure was A Paladin in Hell (the DM converted it for 3E) and my character started that at 18th...

I went with both clear and grey 1" squares. There was a time that I wouldn't have cared for the clear squares but I've really enjoyed using Dundjinni style maps for my games so it would be nice if I could lay the clear tact-tiles over my maps to allow me to write on the playing surface without...

I voted for the Ultimate. I like that the player and dm stations have lighting. I like lowering the lighting when running horror games but the only problem with this is that the players can no longer read their character sheets. The Ultimate neatly takes care of that problem. The one that we...

The big thing for me is the lessening of pre-game stress. In the past I have acutally cancelled sessions because I was having writers-block and couldn't plot out the backstory for the session. With my new mode of thinking I can always just have an NPC approach the PCs with some problem with...

If by official you mean "In Print" then I offer these mixes from the Midnight setting. Elf + Halfling = Elfling Dwarf + Orc = Dworg Dwarf + Gnome = Dwarrow

I've got Vista Ultimate on my Desktop and Vista Home Pro on my Laptop and I am pretty happy with both of them. The only thing that bugs me at all is that a lot of my older games aren't compatible but as time goes on and newer and better games get my attention this isn't such a big deal. I do...

Let me start off by saying that I've been DMing and playing D&D on and off since 1981. Somewhere around the time Werewolf the Apocalypse debuted I got into playing the various World of Darkness games with a group that was very much into narrative roleplaying with grand overplots that plugged...

Dear god is that thing beautiful... However, as has been said there is no way that I could see my way to paying $10K for something like that. Especially when it is so easy to find great gaming table plans on-line and build one yourself. Won't look as nice but can be just as functional.

2012 isn't the end of the world, just a new cycle. Magic is going to return and people are going to spontaneously turn into Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, and Orks. The USA is going to have to give most of the central and western states back to the Native Americans after a war pitting technology vs...

When 3E came out we already had Freeport, Scarred Lands, and Greyhawk. Forgotten Realms wasn't too much later in coming. So where are all of the campaign settings for 4E? So far the only ones I am really aware of is Forgotten Realms and Kingdoms of Kalamar (though KoK is only in PDF and I've...
