Is it just me or has the Dungeon content really dried up? We have: Adventure Hooks (which just really is a preview of the adventures this month). Editorial Eye on the Realms Chaos Scar adventure Explore Taer Lian Doresh (location) Another adventure Eye on Dark Sun Save My Game. I really...

If I were starting out completely new, I wouldn't buy any of the PHB1, DMG1 or MM1. I would definitely go with the rest of the Essentials line. The 'Heroes' books, the DM Kit and the Monster Vault. Then to get the 'rest' of the Player material, I'd get a DDI subscription. For Eberron...

Nice. The re-done MM1 monsters are what I'm really looking forward to from Essentials. Can't wait to see what the Purple Worm is like.

I think the above is exactly why we're going to see the DDI tools become online only. There currently is a huge incentive to not go for longer than one month. There will be a lot of gnashing of teeth over it, but it amazes me that WotC even allowed the system to get to this point. But yes, I...

I'm now into running Chapter 2. Some comments in the spoiler tags.

Yeah, and today's article is a preview of adventures this month? :erm:

Makes you wonder if something substantial is about to hit. As in not just an update.

I cannot recommend this blogpost enough: Reexamining the Dungeon

That's how I started, Grade 7 lunch with my friends (though we also played Star Frontiers). That said, as far as I know, we were the only D&D group at school.

I'm planning on running the RPGA Tomb as an interlude between Chapter 2 and 3, using one-shot characters. Basically as a flashback. The main reason is that this will give more context to the condition of the Tomb in Chapter 3.

Well, after finishing the first chapter, here are some of my observations regarding it:

Yes, but you should be able to have combats that matter yet only last 30 minutes.

Now _that's_ what I'm talking about!

Yep. I've been addressing this on my blog and will be following up in the next couple of weeks. But I really like the idea of Torg's old Standard vs. Dramatic combat system although admittedly this isn't exactly what you're referring to.

I dunno..that doesn't really come across as being all that impressive to me. Hopefully the other ones make me say: "That's awesome!"

While they may be needed for their plusses, you could easily deal with that via the Inherent Bonuses rule. The exact powers that items have are _not_ necessary. Those are what are 'bonuses' for the character. One of my players has said something similar, but I don't agree. You don't need...

Have the treasure parcel values changed at all? IE are the Epic levels reduced in treasure?

Makes perfect sense to me.

So, I run an Eberron campaign (and have expressed to my players an interest in running a Dark Sun campaign). However, it's started to become apparently to me that in general, my players just don't really care about the campaign setting. We could be playing the D&D Core world for all they care...

Given that, Target. If Target continues to stock D&D because you bought it there, then eventually those players who buy D&D at Target will start buying other stuff at the FLGS.
