    GSL Update 12/18/08

    It really is all about what sort of infrastructure is in place to deal with weather problems. Down here, even a slightly flurry can cause major problems because of the way our roads and such are set up. A hurricane, on the other hand, is old hat and we have plans upon plans in place to deal with...

    What are some of your favorite Magic Items from previous editions?

    Immovable rod without a doubt. There really is no limit to the shenanigans that item inspires.

    Dragon 370 - Invoker Preview

    I just realized that since Divine is the power source of the god's servants, isn't it very possible that the Elemental power source will be for the servants of the primordials. It would make sense in regards to why it is getting its own power source instead of being rolled into Primal or Arcane...

    Dragon 370 - Invoker Preview

    I know that for the most part defenders have the built in single target mark, but I would like to see the Fighter be the class who has the option to keep more people marked. It would especially make them the iconic defender since when combined with their movement stopping class feature they...

    Dragon 370 - Invoker Preview

    Not sure if that is really the same case since Fighter and Rangers are supposed to be filling different combat roles. It would be a problem if they were both meant to be strikers or both defenders, but I do think that it would have been nice if the Fighter power could target multiple people to...

    Anyone Interested in a "Create Your Own RPG" Competition?

    I'm definitely interested if we can nail down some details (like the theme)

    Why do 4e combats grind?

    I haven't seen the grind myself. Most combats seem to last exactly 5 rounds for our group.

    D&D Insider Character Builder Open Beta live

    I think this app has just pushed me over the edge toward DDI... now just to convince the lady of the house :erm:

    PHBII Classes Confirmed

    I've seen that thrown around a few other places as well, but it makes sense when you consider that the Avenger was a paladin variant in earlier editions

    teleported PCs to random dungeon - where would you put 'em?

    Somewhere in Ravenloft (well almost all games I am involved with end up there soon or later, so it is the first thing that comes to mind)

    PHBII Classes Confirmed

    Don't forget Sorc as a second Arcane Controller

    PHBII Classes Confirmed

    Just realized that we will be getting 3 controllers in this book, which brings them in line with as many options as every role but strikers (since martial double dipped on this role)

    Starting a new game

    To an extent, but they are fairly rough and tumble and don't shy away from a fight. Usually fights seem to break out when they get ambushed or when the crazy swordmage decides he wants to do something no matter who stands in his way.

    Starting a new game

    As others have said, just getting the players to come up with a detailed back story can lead to a staggering amount of RP since the players become very invested in their characters. The first 3.x Ravenloft game I played in did this, and it was without a doubt the most RP filled game of D&D I...

    Forked Thread: Tell me about Exalted

    My brief experience with Exalted has led me to believe that ultimately it is a game that requires the PC's to be proactive. The setting and scope of the PC's powers mean that there is very little of the traditional "we kill things to get rich" going on. If you have a party that has very entwined...

    Where to take the party next?

    I think I have finally settled on this upcoming session as being more set up to the murder mystery. I'm going to introduce the Wind Duke, who I need a name for incidentally, while the train makes a stop in a traditional village with a secret.

    Where to take the party next?

    My party started with a prison convert tiefling paladin(MC feat into rogue) of Avandra who had been a prisoner on the train when it crashed, a half-elf starlock who was once a notorious space pirate, and a house Sivis eladrin artificer who was hiding out from his house by getting a job helping...

    Forked Thread: A Brief History of Tolkien RPGs - Middle Earth 4E

    Just change the races allowed to only Human and limit PC magic just a touch more and this would be pretty close to how I would set up a Hyborian Age game of 4E
