    Dark Knight

    Did anyone else catch what I thought was excellent foreshadowing of the next bat-villain? I can only hope it's true. As for the movie, I loved it. My only complaints would be the rather awkward editing in some spots and the dark, hard to see action sequences. Other than that, spot on!

    Rescue at Rivenroar Posted

    I have to say, I hate the online version of Dragon and Dungeon. My poor printer cannot handle a high-graphic 45 page document. I'd MUCH rather just purchase a magazine like in the good old days. Not a rant against 4E, which I love. This is a rant against what I think is a ridiculous business...

    Do people enjoy reading campaign blogs?

    To answer my own poll...I generally will only read and continue reading a campaign blog if the game being played is one that I'm thinking of running or am currently running. I love to see how other DM's handle a given adventure/module. It gives me alternate perspectives on the material and may...

    Do people enjoy reading campaign blogs?

    I'm curious, do people enjoy reading the campaign blogs/websites of others? Over the past few years, I've tried to maintain a website/blog that chronicles my campaign. I was originally inspired to do this by reading Brent Nall's outstanding Drow War Blog. I have no visitor counter or...

    DMs! Who are YOUR composers?

    This. Absolutely this.

    I need a skill challenge for KotS

    I remember reading somewhere that a skill challenge was used when the PC's tried to convince Lord Padraig of the danger of the Keep. A standard negotiation skill challenge could be used just as it is described in the DMG.

    Why does spellcasting provoke OA?

    Ah, I was still channelling 3.5. Thanks for the clarification. Gotta crack those rulebooks again and re-read. Thanks, Ari.

    Why does spellcasting provoke OA?

    Since all the classes have been equalized, why do spellcasters suffer from having their powers provoke opportunity attacks? Other than the source of their powers, how do they differ from the powers of any other class? Is this just a legacy rule from 3.5? It makes little sense and adds an...

    Out of Print games You Miss...

    This! James Bond was the most fun I ever had one on one roleplaying (with someone other than my wife). A simple, elegant system that simulated James Bond Movies perfectly.

    KOTS: What metal song should I use for the final confrontation?

    "Let the bodies hit the floor" by Drowning Pool. Should be the required theme song to any 4E campaign. :)

    D&D Gameday: Into the Shadowhaunt

    Donny, If I lived in Louisville, I would patronize your store. I wish all game store owners were as dedicated to the hobby as you are.

    D&D Gameday: Into the Shadowhaunt

    I'll be running the game this Saturday as well. I'm so underwhelmed by the riddle, that I'm thinking of just dumping it. Perhaps a small skill challenge to replace the riddle would be more appropriate? The good news is, the riddle can be bypassed if you think your players are too young or...

    Half-Ogre?

    Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for!

    Half-Ogre?

    Edited for clarity: I'm looking for a playable half-ogre. Has anyone played around with this possible race? Thanks.

    Beefing up KotS's Story: 1st encounter (SPOILERS)

    I'm going to use that as well, but since some of my players are probably reading these threads, Ninaran will NOT be the spy. Someone else will....

    Worried about spoilers!

    I wont be running my KOTS scenario for a few weeks yet, and I'm really worried that my players will know the module backwards and forwards before we ever sit down to play. I know that at least one of them is a very active participant on these boards and I hope he, and my other players, are...

    Another Grognard Reviews 4e based on KotS

    Here's a bit of your bias showing through, Devyn. Honestly, we've only seen combat in the few demos and examples that have been released, as WOTC intended. We all already know how to "role-play". The game seemed like a miniatures game because that is how it has been played by the majority of...
