alea tools has magnets of different colors made just for miniatures. They work pretty good, until you get a couple guys next to each other that each have a magnet or two on them, then invariably you go to move one guy and all the magnets fly together. the way around this is to glue these...

I'm going around some of the 4e rules and running a pirate campaign in a low magic world (meaning the quest for endless gold to buy more magic items isn't a primary goal in life) and I want to streamline the money system so it's not about tracking how many coins you have, but more about whether...

Running a pirate campaign in a low magic world (meaning the quest for endless gold to buy more magic items isn't a primary goal in life) and I want to streamline the money system so it's not about tracking how many coins you have, but more about whether your flush or broke and have access to the...

So I've been out of 4e for awhile. Between GenCon and Amazon I keep hearing about the new Essentials product line... and I honestly have no idea what it is from the info I can gather. Is it a new game? Is it a branch off a alternate rules like unearthed arcana? Is it just a rip off...

we inducted a friend into 2e d&d in highschool and started him off with a humorous bar fight (of course) so he named his character bar fightin rob. then we wanted to start a serious campaign... and he insisted on playing this character. Needless to say years later the only character (out of a...

I ran a one (long) night stand for rifts back in highschool. I just got a new book with a bunch of new weapons, so I did a die hard kinda thing with terrorrists taking over a huge futuristic shopping mall and the players had to defeat them while trapped inside. As the night was coming to an...

for the stated amounts anything I say would be covered... but if there were not limit to the money, if i could afford to do anything at all... I would hire famous actors to play my NPC's. Ben Kingsly would be the nobleman who hires the PC's to find his kidnapped daughter, Edward Norton would...

I'm a dispatcher for a concrete company in the midwest, so I work with a bunch of rednecks basically. They chew tobacco, they all have a second job working on cars or excavating and they are all against having a black president. Naturally I never mention my hobby, I make it sound like I spend...

I love the maps from the WotC 4e adventures... I just don't like the adventures. Until recently I had a friend who owned a comic shop and he let me have the maps (which I laminated) from the store copies of those adventures as long as I agreed to share them with other DM's at the store...

Hey everyone, working on a book here. I have recently converted from word (which thought I fought with a lot I was very familiar with) to open office, which is much nicer to use but when it comes to tables I am perplexed. It seems that if I create a table in word and import it over everything...

I didn't read the whole thread so someone might have mentioned this already but i made a dragonborn strength cleric/ dragon sorc and it worked pretty well, other than having a low reflex. The same build with a human was a little better option wise but I had to take both 17's, although with all...

actually, I tried to make a half-elf battlemind and take energizing strike as my dilettante and it still won't allow me to augment it. I was thinking that energizing strikes augment 2 and multiclass into bard would allow me to be partial healer (since our group only has a hybrid leader)... but...

my advice, since you are just starting to play this, and with a kid, is to find the first edition rules if you can (I found them much easier to understand) and start with characters that are low PL, such as 5, as character creation can be very tough. Starting at a low PL willl give you a chance...

Wow, this thread grew fast. To be honest I didn't know you could turn sigs off (this is the only forum community I have ever visited so im not up on all the details), i will turn them off immediately. and I only picked an image by my handle cuz i thought it was required. My handle being a...

My user title is an inside joke from high school that doesn't have to do with hotels, although I have stayed at a howard johnson before. My grammar isn't great, and for some reason I have always spelled their thier, it's like selective dyslexia or something. Here is the particular signature...

nevermind

I just read a rather intelligent post... following by an amazingly unintelligent signature. I see this a lot, people that are obviously very smart and well spoken, yet they choose to tac a sentence or two at the end of every post that try's to disprove thier intelligence. I'm not trying to...

I had a friend run a paragon one off that when really well a month ago. We were after a mindflayer in the underdark. when we got to him he was surrounded by thralls and some kind of magic shell. we had to fight a few drow and umberhulks while we tried to dismantle the shell (skill challenge)...

I'm writing a PDF (open office doc that I will export) that may possibly be turned into a printed book someday. What margins do I need to have to make sure that it will print correctly?

I'm going to my first GenCon this year and I want to make the most of my experience. I live only 2 hours north of Indy so I'm sure I'll be going every year after this. Because of that I'm comfortable going and just checking things out this first year, but some good advice could help me make...
