Oh I've not seen a&a before. I like the idea. Great for one shots. Although I think for my group I'd need a big list of sample archetypes. I like the levelling up scheme too. Any actually played it?

It is an interesting thread. I think you are on to something with the change in background for the numbers. I think it needs more consistency with the placement And DMmagic, those block look amazing, but I found them a a little hard to follow(could be the font), but I think it is a great idea...

Actually that is a great idea, people who run encounter games should be given complimentary codes for DDI. Seems fair to me.

I'd love for them to launch a cheap mag called Dungeons and Dragons. Reuse some content from DDI and keep it cheap. It would be used to get the brand out there again. And as a cheap read for us nerdy folk on the run. I could see it doing well. It doesn't have to be a huge page count.

I'd like to see one major setting release every year and maybe two minor ones. the Major release gets all the support. The minor ones are stand alone hardbacks, that's it, maybe a published adventure or something in dungeon. It's really about options. if you are looking for something new, but...

I'd like to think that their is a balance somewhere between the two approaches. And I don't think any version of DND has found the sweet spot - or the sweet spot that would enhance most games. I've often despaired at the roll approach to everything from my group: "You see a statue of a...

Prepare yourself for 20pages of rules debate!!!

Stop the session and ask the players for feedback. Ask "why aren't you joining the group?"

My guess is that these are players who don't have a hook yet, so being "mysterious" is the best they have. It could be a warm up issue; it take a little time to get your imagination into gear. Another reason could be a lack of structure or hooks in the scene. If there are interactive elements...

How so? These articles seem, generally, well received by the fans. The poll ratings are usually positive.

I flicked through it in a new Game Store I found yesterday in town. I was on lunch and didn't have any time to read it, but I can say it smelt very nice - mmm new book smell. The cover was good too.

I think OAs were developed to help with some issues that occurred due to the turn based nature of DND combat. If you are fine with some issues of monsters swarming past fighters in the front line or firing bows at point blank range, then I think you should be fine. There are some class...

Here is an EW thread on a converting, some good stuff: http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/229608-red-hand-doom-4-0-a.html

In the latest Legends and Lore article Mearls mentions that he was having a chat with Monte about skills. Now, I know a lot of the designers hang around a lot and chat about games, but it seemed odd to me to mention it in the article. Maybe he is dropping hints. :D I wonder if they have taken...

Me too, when I read "this cliffwill require journeyman training in climb" I get a little trill. It is reminding me of the Lone Wolf Adventure books I read as a kid.!! :D Moar pls Mr Mearls...

mmmm I wonder if WotC have taken on Freelancers - like Monte - in secret for the 5e project. Is this Mike dropping hints.. lol Anyway, the skill system seems soild enough, something I could get behind. I like the idea of having novice, journeyman, etc on my player's sheets rather than a number...

I'm not sure who this is related to essentials? Aren't their core (non-essentials0 4e classes that's haven't received as much support as others? And considering how many options are other there for the thief (and the compatible stuff from rogue), I'm not sure what kind of support you are...

I'd agree with the caveat: it is okay for them to lose sometimes too, but it must be rare. Most groups won't like getting their ass handed to them every week. In my current SWSE game, there was a biker gang that really pounded the group, a combination of tough opponents, bad choices by the...

Thing is: you will eventually be right.. Eventually...

WotC_Trevor said that everything they wanted to talk about at gencon they did, so no cancelled last minute announcements. Take from that what you will...
