    Anyone checked for errors on the pics yet?

    D&D 4E Starship Troopers with 4ed rules

    Only took a quick skim. Are you just reflavoring/reskinning existing classes and powers or totally introducing new ones?

    Random Treasure Parcel Generator (D&D Rules Compendium)

    Every slot is just looking for a missing REF. The F9 option does nothing.

    4th edition "Black belt DM's Guide": best of the internet

    For resources, add in table/play aids, both digital and otherwise?

    Pantheons

    It could also be fun to take the list of Domains and jumble them up. See what combinations occur, then try to rationalize the combination. Sure, Civilization and Protection make sense together, but how are Hope and Tyranny together? Or Change and Poison? Fun stuff can be had.

    Iomandra

    Iomandra and the Dragon Sea, the homebrew campaign setting of Chris Perkins, is a fun concept that I would like to try for my next campaign. I have collected all of the information from his official wiki as well as blog posts by some players, and I'm curious if anyone here has tried it. I'm...

    One shot adventure?

    Agree with the Chaos Scar notion. They are very light on roleplaying in my experience, so depending on your group you may need to enhance that element of the delves. That comment makes me realize the level of a mess the branding of Essentials introduced.

    Evolving Feats

    Not to focus on Linguist too much, but players could also get benefits to Insight, History, Streetwise, Diplomacy and Bluff when making checks involving the people or places of the language they know. Learning a language often means getting to know context and culture, not just a vocabulary...

    Ideas for an Adventure

    What's the explanation for animal sounds drifting away? That seems like something you may only want to point out based on passive Nature or Perception. If you just said "you notice that..." I would immediately think the horse means more than just a horse. What happens if the players get so...

    D&D Troll (PC) Template Needed?

    Longtooth Shifter seems like an idea candidate for reskinning into a WoW-style Troll player race. Racial regeneration power and great potential for a ranger, druid or warden. You can learn more about them in Player's Handbook 2.

    Engaging the Cobalt (campaign help)

    Thanks for replying. On reread, I see that my OP wasn't as clear as it could have been. To clarify, HS2 isn't relevant to the question. A few notes: - My current plan is to basically lean on the Orcus wants the Raven Queen's domain theme of P1-E3. The Vampire Lords replace the Ashen Covenant...

    Stonefang Pass help

    As a recap, it went pretty well. I presented the options, talked about the importance of realizing that their characters are not immortal and let the players chat in private while I shuffled some papers in the other room. They discussed and decided that if their characters were going to die...

    Recovering a L12 Encounter Power ?

    What's the need? If there isn't a suitable item in the Compendium and it's important to your game, just create it.

    Grabbing an immobilized character

    Immobilized is different from Helpless or Petrified. A monster of PC with the Immobilized condition can still attack and defend as normal. As far as abstraction, it just depends on the power that causes it. - Sticky spiderwebs allow you to move within a small area but not walk or run away. -...

    discovering remaining HP's of a monster

    I use all of the above regarding being "on the ropes". I suspect that a really successful skill check of the appropriate type (Nature, Dungeoneering, etc.) could yield some of that information if it was really important.

    Stonefang Pass help

    First off, I should add that my players are three of my best friends. The risk of them quitting to seek another game is zero, but the value of establishing weight to their actions is important. Out of three, only one player has deep RPG/D&D experience back in 2e, so he's used to rolling up new...

    Stonefang Pass help

    This is currently my plan. It's a good suggestion. I also only have three PCs, but thought I had sufficiently cooled off the encounter threat level. The Orc Archers are way too good though. If you still have your notes for a 3 PC adjustment I'd love to take a look. The next twist: the PCs are...

    Need advice for dealing w/an invoker.

    This is a good point. If there are any persistent enemies or organizations, word should travel up through the ranks about the pesky Invoker. Perhaps the BBEG or his loyal minion will set a trap, making it look like the heroes are doing their usual tasks/actions and are mopping the floor...only...

    Stonefang Pass help

    You may be right. They've dealt with character death already once in this campaign and most of this happened as a result of an Instigator looking to do his thing, but not meaning to cause this much trouble. At this point, a TPK feels like it would hurt the campaign more than not. They could...

    VT Beta getting CB/AT importing this week

    Wish they'd let us know when all DDI subcribers would get in on the beta.
