Maybe everyones subconsciously trying to tilt fate toward Ravenloft being announced as the next campaign setting? I guess we'll find out if dnd loves *us*.

The photos of their minis have allways looked pretty lame compared to the real deal in my opinion. I'm just glad they're seperating these out from the monster packs.

Why are double standards so common in criticism of WOTC you ask? Because a lot of posters are pushing edition war agendas... an argument that inherently contradicts itself.

Number 1 and 2 are the reasons I dont pirate, and the reasons I do pirate. #1 Moral: When I purchase an item I could have easily pirated, its for the same reason I pay for a candy bar I could have easily pocketed. Just seems juvenile and mildly pathetic to not pay; but not super immoral...

Don't forget, if the person falling in has absolute immunity to heat and toxins, the liquid stone will still engulf and crush/drown them to death very quickly. Seen it happen (in fakeworld).

sounds like fun; I'd go the other way and *try* to get a tpk - let the players wit win the day or die with honor.

theres an advertisement for "war of the burning sky 4e" all up on these pages... maybe give that one a wing-a-ding.

HOT BEEF INJECTION: You'll find that the limited damage expression for one shot devices more than adequate to snuff a lower level pc. Presuming of course that you are insisting on following every rule except those of good form and appropriate encounter level; there is no reason a dragon would...

maybe they can't use pudgy halflings because of copyright infringement with the movie and game licences? I like the lawn gnome style better.

to the makers of the original toolbox; thank you - it has been one of my favorite rpg books. I just cut it up and glued into the mega ultra dm screen (the hackmaster one) looking forward to an even better replacement!

I be hatin' the rpga. The few people I met at the table were rude, wretched lame-o's. They don't represent the entire rpga; but in a way they do every time they meet someone new.

I don't understand why the dm "killing" the pc's is a problem... It can be tough gunning down all these lovely characters, but the dm's got to roll up his sleeves and impartially hand out horrible disasters to keep the game fun. Though every once in a while having some unexpected allies jump...

Nah, my players don't care about treasure that much. I use the parcel system as more of a gauge of where the pc's should be for wealth - very handy tool. There just hasn't been a chance to award any decent treasures for the last two levels... till now! Since they all hit 13 im going to...

the heroes of might and magic 3 (a pc video game) map editor is my choice when not illustrating one from scratch, print screen and drop a hex grid over top in photoshop and voila.

A wizard takes the feats to get two implement mastery's (staff and orb), proficiency with light shields and longsword. As a wizard of the spiral tower, he chooses staff as the implement that his longsword can emulate. So this wizard can now enter battle with sword and shield, holding the orb...

One of the first, cheapest magic weapons you can get is the "duelist" type - it is great for rogues; as a minor action, once per day, you can get CA over an enemy. Perfect for those tight spots where you just cant quite get into postion.

*Only* a 20% chance? that seems pretty darn scary to me... considering how many battles are to be fought, most heroes can't afford a 1 in 5 chance of defeat.

I told them to run. I told them it was suicide. My players defeated a level 20 encounter, with only 4 level 12 characters. Who hadn't received any loot since level 10 (using the parcel system). In a flat battlefield that counted as difficult terrain for the goodguys but not the badguys (knee...

could this legally happen? suppose in the middle of a fight the warlock turns around and sees a mirror, rolls a 1 on his perception - causing him to mistake the reflection for an enemy and so he curses it. Pointing in a mirror at yourself and issuing a potent magical curse, never mind an...

In my experience, its more the company you keep than the particular wizard build. Hang out with rogues, and make sure they get CA every round. Use crowd control so your pals can kill one guy at a time without breaking a sweat. Thats the key to mega wizard power. Also, bulk up on rituals...
