Like most things, you can take what you like and get rid of the rest. My interest was piqued in the format due to the fact that 95% of financially successful films use the 2-goal format.

I was thinking about this last night, and I agree. Stunning is normally the only way to get rid of a sustained ability.

New blog entry: Arcane Springboard: Adventure Writing Tips (Part 2)

Anything from the Chaos Scar would be good I think.

For normal monsters and at will attacks, maybe. But for Brutes and limited attacks, even the +1/2 per level damage isn't enough.

Can you elaborate on this? What exactly is the issue that you're having?

I don't think we're talking about the same adventure. There was a free RPGday conversion of the original Tomb. There is also a super-adventure version that was just released to premiere stores (and released worldwide in a week).

You notice that they've switched the previews up so that they end when the product is released for the preimere stores, not the general release?

I'm starting to like the idea of turning Stunned into something like: Stunned: You are Dazed. You have a -4 to all defenses. Possibly also You are Slowed. Possibly also You are critically hit on a 18-20. Possilby also You have a -2 to attack rolls. This has the advantage of...

I already have it, and I'm planning on starting it next Friday. :devil:

Some early observations from reading Tomb of Horrors. It includes several options for making the adventure more 'deadly', though one of them, dropping the level of the PCs to 8th-9th instead of 10th, would just make the adventure longer without substantially increasing the lethality of the...

I think it's any store that is running D&D Encounters.

I've been railing about monster damage ever since my PC's hit Paragon...especially typed damage.

Just picked up Tomb of Horrors. Poster map: Yes. Looks like a cavern of some sort, but not sure what's on the other side. Encounters: 45, give or take. The chapters begin at 10th, 14th, 18th, 22nd, though it recommends starting at lower levels to make it more of a challenge. Yes, there...

It's quite excessive actually. If I recall correctly, not only is it a Lvl 35 Solo Soldier (with all the defensive craziness that implies), but it also has a power that gives a -5 to attacks.

He's my second favorite artist now. Elmore's #1, but only because of nostalgia. :-)

Heck, Lolth can do 50 ongoing damage now.

I've been thinking this would be the case for awhile. Eventually they'd probably go back and tweak the PH1 and MM1s to account for the lesson's they've learned, but the framework they have in 4e is solid and much like say, MSDOS, there is going to be a lot of inertia to overcome to...

There are some great monsters from BECMI, and I'm glad they're starting to tap into those. Where's my Brain Collector though? :-)

The shame is that so many of the 'core' classes, monsters, races, etc don't get the benefit of 2 years worth of massive public playtesting...
