So far I'm enjoying the new greater damage monsters much more than the old, both as DM and player. With the old math many monsters took long to kill yet posed little threat, leading to long boring encounters that early on were obviously going to go for the players.

How is the Export function activated? I don't seem to find it on any of the screens in the CB. I must be missing it, and I don't see an explanation of how to export in the help files. ....Actually, never mind, I found it. When you go to the "Home" page and click on "Load", and the CB shows...

Since the characters are already in initiative when the zombies break in, I don't think they can gain surprise. If they succeed in Stealth checks, at best they might gain combat advantage if they charge in, but they probably won't succeed on Stealth checks while charging. And I don't think...

I liked the article. It does its job of sparking the imagination for alternatives to death as a punishment for a villain. Sure, anyone could think up all these alternates on their own, but this article makes sure one considers the breadth of options for those alternatives and the fact that...

Hopefully Heroes of the Feywild will at least update the gnome with options for ability score boosts as most races have received by now.

I hope they soon do the gnome update to ability scores as a Dragon article and update the Character Builder accordingly.

I voted "other" because" I'd like to see them use the dungeon tiles for most encounters, but occasional new maps for special unique encounter areas. I'd like to see them use most of their art budgets for regional maps and art rather than encounter maps.

I use the Dungeon Tiles for wilderness encounters in my game, so I for one am glad to see them used for tactical encounters. I'd like to see new maps for special encounter areas that need them, for unique locations, but for a clearing in a forest or such, why not use the tiles? Unless I have a...

I forgot about the bard. I definitely also want to see an Essentialized version of the bard, and perhaps also the monk.

Did the Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms/Monster Vault update get done to the Compendium? I see on the Content Calendar that it was slated for earlier this week, but I couldn't find any Monster Vault monsters in the Compendium.

I want to see the new design for the warlord, but I think that is already slated for February. Second to that, I most want to see Essentials-design psion and ardent builds.

We enjoyed the in-combat skill challenge in a Dungeon adventure which involved trying to board up a ruined temple from the inside to keep out hordes of undead trying to break in, while fighting off the occasional clumps of undead that made it inside.

I do really like the Court of Stars/Codex of Betrayal/Demonomicon/Channel Divinity/Lords of Chaos type articles. They usually provide a great deal of very useable "fluff" content, not only for DM campaign world building and adventure ideas, but for player character backgrounds and development...

I agree a continuing story line is best, however, there are varying ways to achieve that. Home campaigns can be awesome, but it takes a lot more work from the DM to maintain a long ongoing story line with good foreshadowing from the beginning, etc. I found the Adventure Path adventures from...

I worry about how they might misconstrue and misuse the data in their decisions. I just fired off the email below to them, as suggested by the article, to voice my opinion: "I read the editorial today on the DDI site, and wanted to express my opinion in favor of WOTC providing support to all...

I for one was very annoyed to see how much of the December calendar is Gamma World. I have nothing against WOTC supporting Gamma World, but that is not D&D or remotely D&D and this month yields precious little support to my D&D game. I have zero interest in Gamma World and don't want to see...

As I understand it, the items that would qualify to be common must not have any daily powers, and must have properties that are always on. Some items which meet these requirements might still be uncommon if they are otherwise special or complex in some other way, perhaps, but if an item has a...

I'd love to see the revisions you've made. I hoping to take a crack at updating at least a few of the less onerous conversions (that require only minor changes).

I'm very pleased so far with the Monster Vault and MM3 monsters I've run. Definitely improved design over the MM1 monsters. In the new campaign I've just started to run I'm trying to use only monsters from those two books, except when I have time to update older monsters with stats and powers...

I assume probably when the February book about classes comes out, they will update the Gentle Repose ritual to work with "similar rituals, powers and class features" rather than just similar rituals.
