This, especially the Eberron point (however moot it is). WotC has made more (high quality) player oriented material than I or my players will ever use. I want adventures that aren't straight Dungeon Crawls and aren't Adventure Paths. I run campaigns by stringing together a bunch of small plots...

I can count myself among the less than 100 people who bought most of their products, but I have to admit that none of it has seen use in my games yet. My players already have enough character concepts from Wizards material to fill up a dozen one-shots, and the support in the Compendium and CB...

Very cool. This is exactly what my players and I have been looking for. I'm strongly leaning towards a houserule that lets you use these without a power-swap, so that at every level you gain a utility power from your class, you also gain one skill-power from one of your trained skills.

In a way they already have - the Xorvintaal dragons, which lost their spellcasting for more in-combat powers, were a preview of the 4e monster design for Dragons.

One of my players is exactly the sort that needs a class like this. He likes playing to hang out with us, have a drink, and kill some monsters/pretend to be a pirate/talk in funny accents; but he doesn't have a tactical bone in his body. In our first 4e campaign last summer he wanted to be a...

A Paizo supplement? Where did you hear about that? I saw the news about Tales of New Crobuzon but nothing about Mieville and Paizo beyond what was in Dungeon 352.

I made a small handout for my new players that lists the options available for each of the action types, as well as a what grants Combat Advantage. The action boxes were intended to be cut out on cardstock to shuffle through when planning out your turn, but it seemed a bit cumbersome with all...

I'm 22, and only started gaming when I was about 17. I devoured the Redwall books and read LotR when I was ten or so, but fantasy never really grabbed me before I moved on to what would be shelved under 'literature' at Borders. My D&D sessions take more inspiration from Neal Stephenson novels...

Excellent! Picked it up last night after rediscovering the original toolbox in the last month or so - great book, but so much pagecount spent on stablocks I didn't need. .pdf is perfect - I've been happily combing through it since last night copying tables out of it to print out into an...

I wrote up something like this for classes a few weeks ago when I was introducing some new players. I never ended up finishing it, because they had a pretty good idea of what they wanted to play. The Martial and Arcane classes are done, though. Hope this helps! Fighter – A resilient...

This is the situation that the Transfer Enchantment ritual helps prevent.

The same thing happened to me with Demonweb (identical cases, although I lucked out and got doubles of all the rares I wanted), so I've only ordered one case of Dangerous Delves, which should be here tomorrow. I haven't noticed any discussion of a Case A/Case B distribution on Hordelings, which...

Bandit Wolf (small, pack animal that can work with humanoids) Bear (big animal) Goblin/Kobold (low level humanoid) Orc/Gnoll/Hobgoblin (medium level humanoid) Bugbear/Ogre/Troll (high level humanoid) Skeleton Golem/Homunculus/Animated Statue Mage (to use as artillery monster or BBEG) Dragon (of...

The Creature Incarnations articles are by far my favourite - this is another great one. I'm a big fan of the Orc Pyromaniac - the game needs more minions that blow up when you kill them. If you're still reading this Greg, I found one other glitch - the Orc Alchemist's stat block notes "See...

My group bypassed the Roper encounter, and we skipped over the Hag encounter as they challenged Skalmad to a ritual duel for control of the tribe... (long story) I think you might find the Skalmad fight offers very little challenge to your players. I ran it against only two PC (eladrin tempest...

I concede, certainly. My knowledge of RPG pirating was limited to torrents and forums sharing rapidshare links. I'm aware of DC++ hubs in general, but didn't actually think they were very prominent in the RPG sharing community, and didn't think to look for any hubs.

Obviously this isn't the place for a challenge over who is better at finding illegally pirated material, and I can't give evidence for this, but I'll stand by what I said. The protection used by Paizo is a significant hurdle for the most prolific pirating communities. I'd be very impressed if...

The note about Pathfinder is of interest here. The .pdfs of 4E D&D books (and DDI subscription content) have had their watermarks removed within an hour or so of the book releases on RPGNow and been up on torrents and rapidshare for distribution. For the first year or so of Pathfinder (and...

You can't retrain the Bard's training in Arcana. By the same logic, you can't retrain skill training given to you by a multi-class feat that doesn't give you a choice.
