    D&D 4E 4e: Death of the Bildungsroman

    Bildungsroman? That's what GURPS is for. It can model a character from the womb to his ascension to god-hood. D&D is D&D and is meant only to be D&D. It's its own thing these days, and doesn't really model any other form of tale-telling without extensive modification. That was the way of 3e...

    Keep on the Shadowfell character sheet scans

    Mirror?! Can someone host these or link to a mirror that isn't Imageshack. I'm behind a work filter and I'd really like to see these. Please. I'll give you a cookie.

    Winterhaven is the new Keep on the Borderlands?

    It would be so awesome if Mr. Mearls and co. expanded on this, allowing you to make the Keep a base of operations and then expand off into the Caves. If they don't, I guess I'll just do it myself. :D

    Winterhaven is the new Keep on the Borderlands?

    D&D4e is to Previous Editions as Battlestar Galactica is to the Original BSG And that's a very, VERY, good thing. :D

    Keep on the Shadowfell preview

    Who says they are dodging? A dagger in the knee may well cause you to stumble a few steps.

    Keep on the Shadowfell preview

    I want to know what the adventure is about! Can you give us a synopsis? How much is of the adventure takes place in the Keep? How many encounters are there? etc. Any magic items? What are they like? Spoil us! (Just be sure to use spoiler tags. :))

    Keep on The Shadowfell Reminds me of:

    Me to. It was the first game I ever played. How is it similar to KotS? Spoilers please! We've heard a lot about crunch, but an adventure synopsis would be awesome.

    Keep on the Shadowfell preview

    Type your text. With [spoiler*] before the text and [/spoiler*] afterwards. Remove the "*". I added it so I could type the above without it spoilering it. :) So and example would be: [spoiler*] Monster List [/spoiler*] Minus the "*"s.

    Keep on the Shadowfell preview

    A few quick questions: What is the sex of the pregens? Could you give us a list of monsters (spoiler them) so we can start gathering the minis we'll need?

    Some crunch from Rich Baker

    Eberron and Level Tiers?

    In 3.5, most NPCs in Eberron are less than 5th level. Players who start nearing level 10 really start to become legendary. That said, how do you think Eberron will/should handle the level tiers? Do you think the default 4e level tiers matches Eberron's style already?

    D&D 4E Is 4E retro?

    Thought so. I jumped straight from the Basic Set to the Rules Cyclopedia and was blown away. I wish I still had that book. I've found it online, used but in great condition, for $55. I'd be tempted if 4e didn't look like it was going to scratch this itch for me.

    D&D 4E Is 4E retro?

    I believe the Rules Cyclopedia was a compilation of all of those except the Immortals stuff right?

    D&D 4E Is 4E retro?

    I've had this same feeling as well. 3.5 left a really bad taste in my mouth, to the point that I was considering going back and running some OD&D to get my "kick in the door" dungeon adventures. So when I started hearing more about 4e, and the retro-direction it was going, I was pretty happy...

    D&D 4E Love It or Leave It: 4E Multiclassing

    That's what I've been saying. I think I like this pretty well, but only because I'm not tied to D&D like some seem to be. The class system is supposed to be a selling point for D&D. Love it or hate it, you get it warts and all. If I have a character concept I want to play, and I can't make it...

    AOE Spells - 1 attack roll vs. All Targets?

    If you are looking for house rules, here's one that came to me. Every AoE spell has a center right? So you could do it like this: Target a square. You get a +2 bonus on the enemy in the target square. For every square the effect extends out, subtract 1 from the result of the casting roll. So...
