I thought this blog post (from yesterday's front page news) did an excellent job of coming up with some twists to the encounters and created some variety for running Pyramid. I know I'm going to try a few of them out.

Ditto what Keterys said. You have a definite subscriber here.

Does the Guardian of Faith prevent an enemy from occupying its same square? Edit: Nevermind, I just found the errata that clarifies Conjuration on page 59 of the PHB.

Has anyone seen a write-up done of the information that is out there on the Avenger? I've seen pics, but I get a headache just trying to read some of the power descriptions.

My impression is that they are a breed of Bugbears. Dragon issue 366 has an article entitled "Bloodghost Syndicate" that paints them as a ruthless Bugbear Mafia. I threw a couple Bloodghosts into H2: Thundespire Labyrinth to fill out the Bloodreavers clan that plays a role in that adventure.

It appears (by the small amount of reading I've done so far) that Demon Queen's Enclave allows for this type of choice in the main plot of the adventure. I'm looking forward to running P2 for that very reason.

When I DM (which has been the case since last June) I typically bring a large briefcase type bag that carries a PHB (to loan out to players), my laptop, portable speakers (for playing music), DM screen, dice, adventure, and my Alea markers. I also bring a toolbox full of miniatures and a...

Does anyone know if it is mentioned what starting alchemical formulas for a higher level PC with the alchemy feat? If not, any thoughts to what would be a good guideline for the number and level of starting formulas?

Best $5 spent every month. I'd pay that just for Dungeon and Dragon every month. Access to the character builder (which has pushed our group back to no-laptop sessions!) and the other online tools is icing on the cake, as they say.

I had a large collection of dwarven forge that our group used through most of our 3e years. Unfortunately we began moving our play location around a bit, and it became harder to manage the logistics of moving the entire collection. Despite that, the group loved using it. Now that we've been...

Shortly after I got out of the Army, I reformed a D&D group with some old friends (high-school, and some from before even that) and we started a 3e campaign when that edition first came out. Unfortunately one of our friends passed away, and no had the heart to play after that. After awhile, I...

The skill challenge essentially allows the same scenario- I'm just looking for items or elements that the party can exploit to give them an edge in their out-numbered and armed situation.

Thanks- I forgot about the room with the undead, I can definitely work that into a successful Perception check. Perhaps they can flee in to that room to get a rest before attempting the escape. They already took out the arbalesters in their first attack, but they've been warned that...

My players triggered two encounters in the Horned Hold, and things went south after that, very quickly. They are currently imprisoned (I asked for advice on building a skill challenge in this thread) and working on an escape. I'm having Murkelmor, head of the duergar clan, torture each one of...

I agree with almost all of the previous answers. I've been DM'ing a 4e campaign since the release date (half way through Thunderspire right now) and we've been having a blast. The one aspect I haven't seen mentioned (specifically) are monster abilities. Not only are monsters fun to create now...

When I click on the 'Add to Cart' under the 4e patronage it takes me to the paypal site where I get this error: PayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller's website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem. I tried it in two different...

Our group started out playing through the skill challenge by play-by-post and they've succeeded on a few Perception rolls that have allowed them to discover that the manacles about their feet are relatively worn-out and could be broken open. They've also spotted a decent sized rock (could be...

The PCs in my campaign were recently captured while trying to assault the duergar fortress of the Horned Hold in H2:Thunderspire Labyrinth. They were able to discover the back way in, but quickly became overwhelmed when several encounters joined in the fray. Only one of the party perished, the...
