Bumping this thread since it appears our new boy has turned up in the Redbox Gameday adventure!

The new young black dragon you faced has been discussed here. You did a good job beating that thing.

Thanks for the awesome info! :cool: Now I want to know what a ranger(controller) looks like! Urg.

Erol Otus is now considered crap? Exsqueezeme?

Regarding the 20-week season commitments; it appears to be broken down into 4-week chapters, with a new kit for each chapter. Like Festivus said, being the Keep, its likely each chapter is a distinct foray into the Caves. So its really five 4-week commitments, rather than one 20-week commitment...

Good questions, which go right to the heart of these feats. Melee Training is clearly a shortcut to providing attack stat-shifting to all characters, so you don't have to write a slew of redundant, identical feats. However, as a result, this feat is lousy on flavor and subverts the flavor (and...

I was also about to mention Intelligent Blademaster. To me, a class-specific feat is a better implementation of the exception-driven design pattern.

I agree that encouraging hording of AP-like resources is to be avoided. What if you attached other rewards to milestones that accumulate through the 'adventuring day' (which may not actually be a narrative day; YMMV)? In 4E terms, a milestone grants 1 AP and a daily item power. What if we kept...

I can't quote the specifics of the Earthdawn item rules at the moment, but for those not familiar with them, they are similar to 4E artifacts (albiet minor ones) or 3E leveled/legacy items, where the player has to invest some personal resource in order to unlock the item's properties. In...

My question about using inherent bonuses is in regards to the game economy. Do you simply remove the option to buy or sell these magic items? If not, then what is a lightning (or whatever the desired property is) weapon worth? Is there a rational way to scale that with level/wealth that makes...

heh... :heh:

This is pure speculation on my part, but I think there is a very good chance that some future version of the DDI client applications (CB/AT) will run inside a browser as Silverlight apps. This is a technically viable path for them to migrate cross-platform and get their apps on the Mac without...

Hahaha, my Magic 8-Ball sez "Outlook not so good." :p

I blame it on the 70s, man! Plus, the vernacular was still gestating at the time. ;) Edit: /ninja'd by fb2k :p

Ideally, WotC could provide flexible template formatting in the CB and still protect their content, but they appear to have their development resources working on other priorities. Short of that, OCR is the measure of last resort. Just curious, have any application projects besides Masterplan...

No, but he does make you get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before you go to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down at the mill, pay the mill owner for permission to come to work, and when you get back, he kills you, and dances about on your...

The intro states that it will advance 9th level characters to 11th level. The idea is that you can use this adventure to cap your heroic tier endeavors and advance to paragon if you successfully beat the tomb. There are two major quest xp dumps in addition to the encounter xp.

I can see why they didn't include a 1-inch scale map, since there are few combat encounters. I guess in this case, the 'poster map' really is a poster, hehe. Get your condition markers out and prepare to roll many, many saves... The only trap I've read in detail is the one replacing the sphere...

Okay, one conference call from hell later... The module opens with Gary's original introduction ("Somewhere under a lost and lonely hill..."), proceeds to discuss the history of the module, and then talks about placement of the tomb in various editions of the game, closing with:

Last year I received Hommlet the same day it was first posted about here on ENW. I seem to be in the very first distro batch. I haven't heard anything about this, and was quite surprised to see the nature of this module when I pulled it from the envelope. How or if this ties into the new...
