    Why did you stop subscribing to DDI?

    #1 I signed up for one month to check it out. I downloaded the Dungeon issues and downloaded a few Dragon issues. I had planned to run Scales of War, and a few other adventures. I got the off line character builder and none of the other features or monthly content seemed good enough to stay...

    The Real Housewives/husbands of your RPG Group

    My girlfriend started playing with us a few months ago. Sometimes she acts like she enjoys it, will randomly ask when we are playing again. Other times, I will ask her if she wants to play tonight and she will grumble and play. Sometimes she is very attentive to the games, other times she is...

    Landmarks, historical events, personalities, and other oddities from your city.

    My hometown has the largest urban forest in the world. The forest is the largest forest completely surround and inside city limits. You have to drive around this forest to get anywhere. It is about 7 miles in diameter. The possibilities of a city completely surrounding a large forest are...

    D&D 4E Converting Adventures to 4e

    When I convert, normally I convert just encounters, not full adventures, I take the average defense (AC, Will, etc) of the group. Lets say it is 18. If its 18, I give the monsters a +8 for an average encounter. Harder encounters might get a +10 or even +12. I do just the opposite for the...

    D&D Insider Platinum edition

    For $300, D&Di would have to allow me to speak into a microphone and it would automatically update the Character Builder according to what I say. Also, it would have to print out and next day ship all my character sheets so that I don't have to spent $30 on printer cartridges every couple of...

    The D&D economy, how much gold do my players earn?

    We have used it to calculate time and cost of the towns walls. To date, that is all we have used it for, and we will continue to use it for prices of buildings detailed in there. However, that book doesn't tell me anything about how much the players should earn off their village. We really want...

    The D&D economy, how much gold do my players earn?

    What I am hoping to figure out is a simple formula that will reflect just what you are saying. For instance, Town Population * X gp / # of characters = yearly gross income. How much would your average person pay in taxes each year? As for the mining operation, it is fairly successful, but I...

    The D&D economy, how much gold do my players earn?

    My players are each 1/3 owners of a very profitable mining operation. As such, they have built a small settlement that is growing fast, thanks to the players dropping tons of gold into the economy for building walls and such. Does anyone have any formulas they use for taxes, tithes and business...

    What kind of print products would want WotC to produce?

    I want them to produce cheaper products. The 3rd edition PHB was $20. The 4th edition was $35. I want meaningful products. I don't think I have even spent 10 minutes reading through the 4th edition DMs guide, and I DM 4th edition on a weekly basis. Everything we needed to play was in the MM and...

    So I turned one of my PCs into a werescorpion last night....

    Well, I don't see the need to punish the player with bad statistics or mechanics. I'm sure some things will arise in game when the time comes. For instance, he will never be able to use a two handed weapon, duel wield or use a shield or old anything in his off hand in werescorpion form. Also...

    So I turned one of my PCs into a werescorpion last night....

    Yeah, the character now insists he is going to try and find a way to be turned into an elven werescorpion dragon, lol. You would think he is 10 years old, haha.

    So I turned one of my PCs into a werescorpion last night....

    My PCs were making an overland flight on hippogriffs across a fairly large desert. I think the trek ended up taking 7 days flight, but I wanted them to get the gist of just how bare and lifeless the desert was, so they spent several nights with nothing happening. I normally make them roll for...

    Adventure path planning questions

    I believe you are not atypical. The more we play, the less we want to use the CB because of the restrictions. We are switching back to hand written character sheets. Most of our magic items are homebrew.

    Interesting Desert Side Trek Site

    My PCs are fixing to make a 600 mile trek over a desert. They will be flying on hippogriffs, so they will be able to cover a lot of distance. I picture the desert as very much like the Dark Sun CS, and I plan to run a few Dark Sun adventures in the desert as well. So what kind of interesting...

    Edition Fatigue

    Probably next to nothing. Actually, after a bit of googling, the guy who created it couldn't afford to retire from his day job until 1999 to officially create board games full time. For some reason, despite all the intelligence on this forum, some people cannot seem to understand that if all...
