    Was 4e design based around the suite of proposed D&Di tools? EDIT: found quote.

    What's with the lawyer-speak? You haven't signed a contract with WotC so they owe you nothing. You're bringing up quotes from a promotional interview, not a congressional hearing. In every interview Michael Bay says his next movie is going to be great, but you get a steaming turd in the end...

    Monster Alignment

    Another solution to this alignment problem is to wait for the second droconomicon to come out. The issue is one of fluff, so why not see what the fluff book says? The MM is mostly fighting stats for people that make their own stories up. I'm sure with more pages the writers will give you good...

    Monster Alignment

    I think a better question might be why a single word like alignments makes some people so frothy. It seems like the people that rail against the mechanics of 4e are also the people who keep talking about this golden age of gaming where imagination was king. This attitude then turns around and...

    Board/Card game suggestions

    I'd suggest heading over to BoardGameGeek | Gaming Unplugged Since 2000. That site is custom-made for finding board games. Some fun ones I've played that fit: Citadels, Drakon, No Thanks!, For Sale.

    Joke Names you've never used...but want to.

    How about a mysterious hispanic gentleman who roams the astral sea and occasionally acts as a guide. His name is Manuel... of the Planes.

    Battlegraph dry erase Boards!

    These look like they are made from "shower board". You can get it from home improvement stores pretty cheap. I've been using it as whiteboard material for a while. It works well and is quite durable. The surface is resistant to most incidental contact and usually takes some effort with a sharp...

    Which virtual tabletop do you use?

    Since WotC isn't going to have their game table software anytime soon and the need for a virtual setup has come up for me, I've started looking at the different virtual tabletops out there. Several look nice and offer trials or are freeware, but a short tryout is different than extended use...

    Will the WOTC Gametable return or is it dead forever?

    I think they'll pull it off. I'm just curious why it's so hard for them. Look at all the 3D engine games we have right now. They handle lots of people running and gunning in real time. Why not grab an older, and now free, Quake engine and write on top of that? I'm sure there's plenty of VOIP...

    Another Cease and Desist Letter: 4E Powercards

    The Character Builder will print out sheets of power cards as part of the character sheet. All your powers and items with the math done for you.

    Why were Action Points changed from 3e to 4e?

    I house ruled in the option to spend an AP for a d6 added to a roll and it's worked well so far.

    Tell me about Star Fleet Battles

    SFB is a fun game, but as others have said, takes a long time to learn. Since you got it from Half Price, give it a shot. If you like the concept and general play, I'd suggest getting Federation Commander instead. It's from the same company and is a streamlined version of the original. I find it...

    The Nature of Change (or, Understanding Edition Wars)

    One thing to remember about the New Coke- Classic Coke story is that when they brought back Coke Classic, it wasn't the same as the original Coke. They took the opportunity to change over to corn syrup for the sweetener instead of sugar. If you want a true-ish Coke Classic you have to get them...

    Dungeon mapper?

    For free stuff, I like Inkscape, an open source vector graphics program. Inkscape. Draw Freely. Basic line drawings are easy enough and vectors will scale to any print resolution. I also like the snap-to-grid function where it becomes sticky graph paper.

    Commander's Strike Question

    I have good luck using Google's site search. Just add site:enworld.org to your regular google search and it'll limit the results to just Enworld.

    Stop being so paranoid

    This is inspired by another thread, but is really about a larger issue-- Player paranoia. I'm sick and tired of dealing with it. It's a tradition that gets carrie over to every DnD edition and other RPGs. In the inspiring thread, the players wouldn't open a door that could provide an escape and...

    Forked Thread: What would you have done?

    What everyone else has said. Did anyone ever try a bull rush? Just a basic shove-- Str vs. Fort and the skeleton has a fort of 15. Something even a lucky roll can make. Once there was a hole the party could hit-n-run until everything was dead. Not sure how the cleric could be so ineffective...

    Anyone using Onenote?

    If you use a Mac I recommend MacJournal.

    Mage Hand

    I'd follow the guideline from prestidigitation: Nothing you create with this cantrip can deal damage, serve as a weapon or a tool, or hinder another creature’s actions. This cantrip cannot duplicate the effect of any other power. The tool part is about the only thing that might not apply. I...
