    Looking for DM tools.

    Assuming you will have internet connection during the game, try pbwiki (pbwiki.com) and build a site for your campaign. You can then build links between encounters, upload images...I find it to be a great tool. Now it doesn't do things like rolling, but it is quite useful.

    Armor & Coins - please, No.

    What bothers me most in this is cosmetic...the names. How many compound pointless words can they make up per page? It seems to me that the old standards of mithril and adamantine have been removed because they aren't copywriteable. WotC has to replace anything that doesn't fall under their IP...

    Questions for Scott Rouse & Andy Collins!

    Will we be able to play an Eberron game this summer or will we have to wait until the book comes out in 09? or We have seen many examples of low-level play. When can we expect to see examples of high (upper paragon or epic) level play?

    Live Blog from D&D Experience

    When I saw that I read the "+" as a "x". Two additional squares of movement seems too little to be worth granting combat advantage for an entire round, I'd think. I'm hoping it was a typo.

    I imagine that is 10/month if you do a year at a time.

    Laptops at the Gaming table: worth it?

    I like using it as a DM so I have all sorts of resources at hand. Access to emails that we have sent, access to the wiki site that we have set up for the game (www.pbwiki.com), the SRD, etc. I am NOT keen with players having laptops. It ends up being a distraction for them.

    WotC has a milking machine now (Draconomicon I)

    I'm not going to comment on the money grab theory until I see the book, but I will say that the sample dragons are the one part of Draconomicon that I use. I've probably pulled four of them out over the past year or so. Meanwhile I've barely read much of the rest of the book.

    Fear of the Mind Flayer

    Yep, that's my problem with the MF. I change it to a single target blast so the rest of the party can still react.

    4 Map Styles

    I like the modernish best, but I'm a realist for maps. If the map is for the players to use for reference, then I prefer modern map styles. If the map is for the characters to get in-game, then a more handdrawn style is better.

    What happens when the Defender dies?

    In my current campaign I have the following characters: Ranger Barbarian/Rogue Druid Bard So by roles: 2 strikers 1 controller? 1 useless And it is not a problem. As the DM I tailor the campaign to fit the party. It isn't their responsibility to fill roles, it is my responsibility to...

    Harn

    A guy who occasionally DMs will use some Harn maps, which look great, but otherwise I have no knowledge of the game.

    I just Got A Laptop DMs please help!

    I use my laptop between games to manage my wikis (one public for the players, one private for me only) on pbwiki.com. I then use them as reference during the live campaign. A few games I have used Fantasy Grounds as a combat tracker and to keep NPCs. It worked pretty well, but the set up...

    Battlestar Galactica WILL Reach Earth

    Best news of the day. Thanks. If they would have left this superb series adrift I don't think I ever would forgive the SciFi channel.

    New Confessions: The Down & Under Adventurer

    Nah, she's a good writer and it is quite enjoyable to read, in my opinion. It is nice to read a funny article while trying to pick out the occasional rule being dropped in there.

    Will this Lead to a TPK? [updated 3/16]

    TPK. Just on the defensive side, each breath attack is going to average about 50 hit points of damage, 25 on a successful VERY DIFFICULT save. Frightful presence alone will affect probably 1/2 of the group. Spell Resistance and high AC will make it nearly impossible to hit. For them to...
