One of the things we've started doing is a kind of football huddle each round so we can plan stuff out, making sure the right person gets the +2 and that he can consider dropping that encounter or daily power. The wizard knows that the rogue is going to move deep and shouldn't bother with the...

Two more indispensable sites for mini hunting: Find the mini you want here, then find the best price here.

This. In addition, many CEO's of companies that are divisions of larger corporations have surprisingly little influence over their own products. Any change often requires approval from above (e.g. Hasbro) who also requires approval from its board of directors. Actually, I think they are...

In my experience, NPC creation and Spell compatibility between 1/2E and 3E were pretty drastic, and were some of the more difficult aspects of adventure conversion. I had a heck of a time converting my stuff over. Converting from 3E to 4E is also a challenge. But, converting from 1/2E to 4E is...

At my table, I, as a player, drew funny looks when I retrained from Great Axe to Great Sword. We all had decided early on to not do wish lists (for exactly the 2 reasons stated above) and when we found an awesome great sword artifact no one could use, I figured I might never see a better axe, so...

They aren't doing it now? Every single product so far has the last page and/or back cover telling you that you need minis. The options now are: 1. Buy random boosters until you get what you want/need. 2. Buy from 3rd party market for singles. 3. Say"F it, I'm using tokens/existing minis, etc...

While a boxed set of mini's designed to complement a specific adventure (or AP) would be neat, I agree that it would be too expensive. If they broke it up into sets, as in, for adventure X, you need the following mini sets: Goblin pack 1 Goblin pack 2 Orc pack 1 Undead pack 2 Dungeon Classics...

So, after replying to another thread, I thought maybe I've been reading bursts wrong. I (as well as all the LFR tables I've played at) play a close burst from a large (2x2) monster as radiating out x squares from the entire creature's space, not just a single origin square. So a large monster...

Frightful Presence is Close Burst 5 so it will be a 12 x 12 square area (or 13 x 13 for a Huge dragon) that will be affected. If you want to give the players the option to avoid this, you will definitely need a bigger map. If you follow WotC's lead, they seem to like a single dungeon tile...

Back in the 80's when I first started playing, my friend's parents were the ones who taught us: we couldn't understand the concept of a game without a board. My parents were ambivalent though. My mom was supportive though. She often used to drive me to our gaming sessions across town and even...

Only 2 so far: Psion: Dominate - Level 15 Daily Umbriri: Shadowed Psyche - Level 20 Daily Its interesting that the Umbriri version stipulates that the dominated creature may take no harmful action against itself. The Psion's version? No such wording. . .

4E (and probably 3E too) also seems to emphasize story rewards in the form of goal XP. So I guess that makes them either killer heroes (as they are doing what needs to be done) or they are killer lemmings (riding down the plot rail road.)

Oh boy would I hate to have to play like that! I would immediately counter that initiative accounts for the fact that my actions during the round are staggered from my allies and enemies alike. While I am finishing up my combat maneuver (re-readying my sword, raising my shield, getting my...

In the PHB, Chapter 9, under Resistance and Vulnerability, p276, it says an attack against you can't do less than 0 damage. Its also repeated in the quickstart rules of H1, I believe.

I printed a PDF at Kinkos a few years ago with a printed copy of my RPGNow receipt. The guy at the counter didn't really care though and probably would have printed anything I asked him to. While most Kinkos won't print the PDF for you without a receipt, many provide PC's with connections to...

I was a big fan of the geomorph back in the day. I think the ultimate geomorph was the one published with the original Dragonlance module DL4 (the one with the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin.) It used a series of 300' x 300' geomorphs to represent the endless caverns of the underground city. The...

[/sidebar] Unless you have $$$, a better suggestion might be to use GIMP or Paint.net.

Maximize the damage (and apply bonus damage if applicable) to the crit'd target(s), then make a single normal damage roll and apply it to all other targets hit.

War of the Burning Sky. I love a good bargain! (Buy 2 can openers, get a third free? Yes Please!)
