    New DM's Kit? Anybody?

    In fairness, the idea is that a new DM only has to buy the DM's kit and not the RC, so it makes sense for him to have his own version of the core rules. It is a bit disappointing not to see a lot of the "content creation" rules in the DMK, especially given that it's actually SHORTER than the RC...

    New DM's Kit? Anybody?

    Page 213 has rules for Traps and Hazards. It differentiates between them; gives rules for targeting, perceiving, and triggering them; explains their powers; gives rules for countering them; gives advice for placing them; and then spends 8 pages describing 12 traps and 3 hazards. No rules are...

    D&D 4E Is there a Create Water spell or ritual in 4e?

    The Dark Sun Campaign Guide specifically points out in a sidebar early in the book that spells (Warpriest's Create Water), rituals (Traveler's Feast), and items (Belt of Nourishment) that create or amplify water and food are not appropriate to the Dark Sun setting and should be considered not to...

    D&D 4E 4E Adventure Tools a blast

    Given that they've canned all feature development for the online tools, I find that rather unlikely.

    D&D 4E 4E Adventure Tools a blast

    If it had the fluff and pictures, there would be no reason to buy books.

    Essentials: Magic items for characters starting above L1?

    As a stopgap measure until the DM's Kit comes out, I'd say to use the old rules (three magic items of L-1, L, and L+1), with one item Uncommon and the other two Common, assuming you plan to use the new equipment rules.

    D&D 4E [4E only] What kind of miniatures do you use, if any?

    Thanks. I much prefer the atmosphere here than on the official forums. :) I sculpt them from epoxy putty (Green Stuff). You can see the greens for three of those models here: Goliath Axemage Deva Monk Dragonborn Sorcerer I really like sculpting minis in general, and RPG minis in particular...

    Essentials: Magic items for characters starting above L1?

    Aye... that info was in the DMG the first time around, so I'd expect to see it in the DM's Kit this time around.

    D&D 4E [4E only] What kind of miniatures do you use, if any?

    I use a combination of different minis for my various games. Player Minis Player minis get a ton of special attention. I consider it to be very important for players to have a perfect mini to represent their character, so I work with them to design a look that fits their mental concept, and...

    Roll....initiative!!

    I got this idea from some blog or other, but couldn't find it again when I went to download them, so I made my own. I have 1" wide "tents" for each initiative slot in my fights, which I hang over my DM screen. Heroes get their own custom tents with their character portrait (drawn by moi!)...

    Heroes of the Fallen Lands analysis

    Mine's been in my briefcase for three days, and it's already showing dings in the cover. I am terrified of what it'll look like in a month, let alone a year. :(

    Essentials Red Box Errata

    Step 8 (Fighter): it tells you to fill in a Constitution of 14 regardless of your race. Later in step 56, when assigning Racial modifiers, it mentions that Dwarves and Halflings already received a +2 to their Constitution, but this was not the case. Another possible issue with Step 8: it tells...
