So far, the two 4e games I've ran were homebrew/hybrid settings. The next one I will be running is a converted Sundered Skies campaign from the Savage Worlds system. I'm almost finished with conversion of specific rules (guns, monsters, etc...).

basically, there's a "madness god" that exists in the ever present glow in the world. Those in the glow too long can succumb to the glowmadness. According to the Savage Worlds rules, there are four steps; irritable, angered, enraged, and finally glowmad. Each step causes the creature to have...

PC - Tried out a mac in high school and promptly started bringing my own laptop to class. I think they're solid systems, but I grew up using PC from the latter days of DOS and early days of Windows. I'm comfortable and happy with the system I use. (That, and I don't have to dual-boot for...

I'd say we're close. Perfection fails due to one guy who can tend to get on each other's nerves too often... But otherwise, we're pretty solid. From getting along as friends, to showing up for 90% of our sessions, I wouldn't trade them for other players.

As I read it, I can make and post free adventures so long as I do not charge for it or a subscription to my site. Fair enough to me. Not that I actually have a site or sell material. :)

I liked the Ampersand ones, myself. They look most like a normal pair of shoes with a nice D&D addition. I could wear them just about anywhere and they'd be respectable without calling too much attention to them. That's what I look for in a shoe, cool, but could wear it to the in-law's...

Edit: ARrg, AFFECTING disease. not Effecting. stupid me. I'm currently converting the Savage Worlds campaign setting Sundered Skies into 4th ed. One of the major aspects in the world is a sickness known as glowmadness. It's a mind-affecting "disease", for lack of a better word, that can...

I place groups in Ziploc bags, and then group them together in sterilite drawers. Drawer 1 Humans: Heavy Armored Wizard Cleric Rogue/Rangers Rabble (pirates, barbarians, etc) Townfolk Asian Other - Always have an other bag for the really weird stuff. Drawer 2 - Good Races Dragonborn Elf (in...

Sweet, thanks! I just purchased the skeleton key books. I bookmarked the Talisman ones for later.

Hi all. My next campaign will deal heavily with ship-to-ship combat (specifically airships, not that it's important) and I'd like to get my hands on as many maps/battlemaps/tiles that can be used tactically with my 4e game during combats as possible. I know Paizo has a ship map, but I'd like...

We do a similar thing in all of our games now. It makes the DM's job much easier. Here is our rules (along with explanations) Heroic Bonus At levels 3, 7, 13, 17, 23, & 27 the character receives a cumulative +1 to AC, Defenses, Attack, Damage, and a +1d6 to critical hits. Magic items still...

Used "fey passage" and ended up disrupting a Summer Court Arch-fey's wild-hunt. They decided we'd be the next best prey. A cat-and-mouse skill challenge had us running through the wilds. it was quite exciting.

No, no; this is too obvious and doesn't cast WotC in a bad light. They obviously left out every monster I wanted in there. This product is no longer worth my time and I'm going to cancel my DDi subscription that I've paid for a year in advance on, thus making my knee-jerk moot. :) It was a...

I know the feeling. With our group, most of us work the 9-5 M-F. However, we do have one player who's currently in class and works mostly swing-shifts. Another player works 6-3, but can't show up until after 7pm because his wife doesn't want him to. Thus, we have an odd issue where some...

I don't miss them at all. I have more use out of DDi than I ever did with [dragon]. I never bought Dungeon, so getting both with the DDi is also that much nicer. The best part is, when they make a mistake (ala ranger class act), they can change it easily. With the old dragon stuff, once in...

Pug from Magician: Apprentice. Not only was he crappy and failed at casting in the early chapters, but by the end of book two, he's now Milamber, and easily the most powerful wizard in existence. In fact, I'd say the entire Riftwar Saga is a great series showcasing low-level characters gaining...

On its way. You should get it by Wednesday.

We use the Alea tools markers exclusively. Once you get used to them, it's nothing to swap markers during combat. I spread the colors out along the battle-mat and we all know what colors = what condition, making it easy to grab what's needed for a specific condition/mark, etc... The only...

I wouldn't say accidentally, but Red Hand of Doom, in hindsight feels more like a 4e game than a 3.x one. From the ways non combat encounters were presented (check out the diplomatic "skill challenge" between the players and nobles in the 4th act), to the way creatures seemed to have specific...

Sweet; I'll check it out!
