    OD&D and AD&D without the classic modules

    Unfortunately I fall into this category. Completely self taught - I didn't see any other games until I was DMing for about ten years - and just used the rule books and my own crazy adventures. I really wasn't sure how to play from the read through of the Rules Cyclopedia. I'm amazed we managed...

    Novice DM Looking for Advice

    I second the conversation away form the table method. Talk it out with him. Get him on your side. I'd also suggest getting the 4th edition DMGs, lots of edition neutral advice on DMing in there.

    rumored leveraged buyout of Hasbro

    Providence Equity Partners - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I wonder what they will do? Will this mean a change in how Hasbro manages things? Will the strip mine the brands/assets? Tune in for this and more next week on EN-World News.. de de de de deee de de..

    Belt of the Brawler Unarmed Strikes

    I'm messing about with a old style Dwarvan Battlerager and I was thinking of using this belt and kitting him out with Spiked Gauntlets. I pluged it into CB last night and tried a power with some Mace (Clubs are part of the Mace group) options, but it didn't seem to recognise the combo..

    The Dark Sun Weapon Breakage Rule - How do you feel about it?

    I doubt my players will break the weapon to get a re-roll. I'll use the standard DS rules for a while before trying any house rules. If I'm not satisfied I might use this tweak: A) Accept the failure - nothing happens; they pull the attack and save the weapon. B) Re-roll as normal - make a...

    D&D 4E Balista, catapult and cannon damage in 4E?

    Cannon - Int Balista - Dex Catapult - Wis I would give them a terrain power - they are moveable terrain. I'd also treat them like superior weapons. They require specialist training to use properly. Damage (cannon, catapult): Burst 1; 3d10 damage; high crit Balista; 3d6; brutal 2

    Sharing DDI Accounts: why isn't this like file sharing?

    I'm pretty sure this is legal butt covering and it was designed the way you originally inferred. But, maybe, this thread should just, you know... Disappear...

    D&D 4E 4e Cartoon Mickymouse Roleplay - tame !!

    I'm sure they could do it. I doubt they will though. Still with the modular system in 4e it is pretty easy for the campaign to change these defaults. Raise Dead is easily altered and will fix 99% of the problem. There are magic items and Epic level powers that do something similar, but it is...

    Crashing the game: When the DM doesn't expect resistance

    Obviously you need to give a noob DM a break and be flexible, but not to the point where you just roll along with the plot - no fun in that folks. Maybe when you broke your DM it would have been wise to suggest a break; give the DM a breather and let him come up with some way of salvaging the...

    Dragon 338: Returning to Athas, part1

    I don't see the point in just re-releasing Dark Sun, the 2e version will always exist if people prefer it. However any changes should add to the setting; and I think they have given Eladrin a strong theme in Dark Sun and it would be a shame to exclude them just because they weren't in the...

    Giving Out Magic Items

    My players did not do wish lists and I was sick of picking out stuff for them every level. So I use Asmors random loot system, but I generate the treasure four times and merge it and then give out random stuff after the encounter until all that treasure is gone or they have gone up a level. The...
