Points of Light. He dabbles in other games, but is a 4e fan. He has updated and played through Keep on the Shadowfell. Sly Flourish. This is Mike Shea's blog, and while he is migrating over to 5e, he still has a lot of good information about how to DM, including a couple of books about...

Well, the powers were optional because they came from the Red Box. Some of the other class powers in the Red Box were changed or exchanged. The Red Box thief's "Bump and Run" was replaced by the superior "Escape Artist" in Heroes of the Fallen Lands. The Transmutation powers from the Red Box...

In the Red Box, the Mage can choose certain Transmutation Spells: Stone Blood, Leaden Transformation, and Slimy Transmutation. These are "optional" in the Character Builder, and I noticed that there were similar spells listed in Heroes of the Feywild. Were these spells considered either too...

In which book(s) does one find the Feywild setting detailed?

His title should be "Grand Dungeon Master of the Universe". Plus, he should get a pay raise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76yhnu4Kwew I don't think I had watched this video (from 2008) until a few minutes ago. Some observations: Chris "DM to the Stars" Perkins gives a good overview of the game. I know from watching other videos (like the Robot Chicken game he ran) that Chris...

World of Warcraft is just Dungeons and Dragons in digital format. If you're not playing Rogue, you're not playing a CRPG.

In my opinion, hit point damage represents a mix of physical wounds and psychological damage (lowered morale, etc.). When the character gets hit, he doesn't just suffer physical pain, but he also suffers some morale loss. The warlord doesn't "shout his wounds closed", but he does get the...

It was the edition that launched the careers of Omin, Binwin, and Jim Darkmagic.

I assume that you sum up the individual initiative rolls of each team, and the team with the higher total goes first. I, too, was wondering about how certain monsters would be handled, specifically the Monster Vault dragons, which get an extra turn at their initiative +10. I was thinking of...

How did it go?

I know, right? Burning D&D books seems so...Jack Chick.

Has anyone tried doing "team initiative" (having each side roll initiative instead of each character)?

Some one just threw a "4th Edition is Dead" Party, complete with book burning (he took pictures) So, yeah, there was some polarization. Healing Surges seemed to be a factor of high annoyance. At least, people's misperceptions about what Healing Surges actually were seemed to cause grief...

Perhaps, but the article linked is more about how magic in the books worked, and relates it to how magic in D&D works. I wasn't sure, so I put it in the "books" section.

Big Model Forge? You're going to make me look that up, aren't you?

I don't know of any Feywild-based Adventure Modules, but this is a related thread over at GiantITP: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?133793-4e-Feywild-Woes

The article is here. An excerpt: "While the real world development of Dungeons & Dragons mirrors this source material in that a few odd spells are named after the wizard that developed them, there really is a lot more going on here. Not only has Jack Vance constructed a detailed far future...

Are you serious? Bagpipes are 30 gold pieces and weigh 6 pounds? This ruins the verisimilitude. How can I enjoy this game? How can anyone enjoy this game?

Yes I do. I was just seeing if you would catch it.
