Cs I voted Community Support. I may not be a prolific poster, but my gaming over the years has greatly benefited from this site. I will continue to support it as long as I can.

I'm planning on reworking a combat encounter from H3:Pyramid of Shadows into a skill challenge and could use some assistance. Some spoilers follow below; you've been warned. Right now the combat encounter is taken from the Encounter G2: Maze of Lost Souls. My idea was to speed this encounter a...

I, for one, welcome our non-god fearing lizard overlords.

They also make some USB wireless adapters that are tethered to a short (or long, if you prefer) USB cable. This may enable you to position the adapter into a better spot than your laptop for improved reception.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's usually just the reverse for my group (three encounters in six hours). What's your secret Merric?

According to the update news: A backup of the custom monster data files will be done automatically after a new update. This backup file can be found on your local \ApplicationData\AdventureTools folders. The backup folders will be named after the build number of the applications when the backup...

Sorry- meant the right hand side. I see that you can copy and paste into the edit screen of that screen (the first time I tried it, after downloading it, I was unable to enter in anything). Downloading the new version now!

New version looks great- and I've already imported my whole party with no issues. One question- is there a way that you could program it to allow the user to enter in the data for the individual powers, and have that information display in the summary section on the left hand side? I am really...

Radio Rivendell is a great resource for fantasy based music. Also check out Erdenstern; they have several albums that are themed (sci-fi, nature, battle, water, etc.) Dronolan's Tower has produced two good albums that see a lot of play time at my game table.

I've been meaning to stop by all week to report on my experience of using Mortaneus' Combat Tracking Utility, and I have to say that most of my experience can be summed up by Mercule's post. I'm not sure how to fix the readied action part either, but I found on two accounts screwing up the...

I also wanted to add that I am going to be running a game this Friday, and plan on using this utility. Thanks for what seems to be an easy to use combat tracker- I love the ability to copy and paste in monsters from the builder. However, I too would like to see it being able to keep track of...

Agreed. I've been greatly enjoying these; most of the time I listen to several of them as I drive to our gaming sessions, and they always put me in a good mood. I think Chris Perkins does a great job DM'ing, and demonstrates what most of us go through in a typical session (jokes and cracks...

I got to try out a variety of FFG's board games (Conan, Descent, Tides of Iron) and I tried to play Aces & Eights, but we had a sudden schedule conflict and we only got as far as generating characters. On that topic, if you are running a fairly new game system, please don't make us roll up brand...

I also track my inventory (only about 1,200 minis) through Excel, and as I often can't recall what a specific mini looks like, I link to a system of folders of pictures. If you right click on the cell of that minis name, for example, you can create a hyperlink to the file. When you click on the...

I generally spend 3-4 hours for my 4e campaign I'm running right now. Most of that time is spent preparing the custom tiles I make; photoshopping maps, printing out and then cutting and gluing to posterboard. I do virtually no adventure prep, as I've been running the 4e modules. That has been a...

Actually only one of them would function, and per the rules the only one that functions is the one that your character puts on first. Page 224 of the PHB.

I ran a 3e Midnight campaign awhile back and I had one of the PCs suffer a lost arm after essentially dying in a battle with a umber hulk. I knew that the individual player would handle the loss maturely and see at as a role-playing element. He did exactly that, and was ironically known for...

Wrath of the River King by Wolfgang Baur has plenty of role-playing elements and skill challenges o'plenty to offset the combat encounters. I definitely wouldn't consider that adventure to be a traditional "dungeon crawl" adventure.

Another vote for map and art galleries for the current adventure path. Especially high-resolution (non marked-up, preferably) maps.

I feel the same. I'm excited to roll-up an Avenger for the first real DMNPC I've played in a long time. I keep getting this feeling that the update will end up getting postponed though.
