Hi I guess this is a problem generic to most systems, but as I'm playing 4e I thought I'd post here. I've just started DM'ing my first campaign and I'm using Wizards Dungeon tiles to create encounters for the groups, however I'm having a few problems. I'm trying my best to create interesting...

Just hoping if someone could clarify something for me. Do tiles only get placed down in the exploration phase? so even if a player in the hero phase moves to the edge of a tile, it doesn't get added there and then?

I was aiming for the traditional 'DnD' style fantasy, ie Elves, Orcs etc I love some of the suggestions on here, Exalted and Talislanta are both great games, but a little far out of what I was wanting. How well does pathfinder work without mini's? how are things like AoO dealt with...

Hi I'm currently playing and DM'ing 4e, and I have to say I love it and the group i'm in do too. However, I've also joined another group who are primarily composed of White Wolf players, and it will soon be my turn to DM for them, and wanting to get away from the whole werewolf/vampire thing...

I can see wizards thinking behind trying to drive store sales (although it does seem somewhat contrary to their perceived stance of making a lot of releases DDI only) , but I guess there are many like you Dice4hire, who don't have a gaming store close or one that participates in the DnD...

Well amazon is usually my first port of call if only to check availability and release dates, but neither they or the book depository is showing them :( I've checked a few UK gaming websites too, with no luck, i guess if the american websites are showing them, they'll soon filter over here.

So I read lots of threads on these cards, and while i'm not keen on the idea of my players using them to build a deck, I would like to get my hands on a few packs as a DM to give to players as alternate reward for roleplaying. My question is, when are they available, the wizards site says the...

Well last night proved to me, why i'd have to be dragged to PF or back to 3.5e Our regular DM had to drop out last minute, so i had to step in and run a one shot adventure (nothing too complex, just a few encounters, being a prelude to my main campaign) and was only give little notice to...

Count me in for some Nentir Vale loving :) I am due to start my campaign soon, and I'll be retrofitting 4e into the Earthdawn world, but sadly I don't have a lot of information on specific areas of Earthdawn ( I have a few splat books, but they deal with the major areas, place i want to avoid...

Hi folks, i've been pitched in at DM'ing this week as our regular DM is absent, so I'll be running a game for 11/12th level characters, however rather than generate my own quick adventure, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good adventures around these levels published on insider?

Could you not use Kenku for the Wereravens? I think there are a couple in the DDM line that would do a good job. As for the OP, I'm pretty bummed about the line being cancelled, like a lot of people have already mentioned, time is an issue for metal miniatures, I also find that getting hold of...

I wouldn't switch to pathfinder. I have a few of the pathfinder books and i love them, the art and writing style is fantastic, they were obviously created by a team who love the hobby. But the reasons I wouldn't switch are as follows: a) Time - I used to be the only DM in 3.5e days and the...

I'll certainly miss the mini's both from a gaming and collecting point of view. I get my gaming inspiration from a lot of sources, but one of them was opening a random pack of mini's and finding a cool new monster (I guess i was one of the few who liked random packs!), I've made a lot of...

Seems like its quite a split decision, I guess like any system each will have fans and detractors. I really would like to try to try the Saga system, as the group is pretty familiar with 3rd/4e DnD and that doesn't seem a big jump mechanics wise, however the scarcity of the books looks like...

Thanks for all the replies :) It seems that there isn't a definitive version out there which does seem a crying shame as the setting cries out for one. The campaign i had in mind would just be pre-rebellion era and would involve the party aiding in stealing plans for the original death...

Due to the kiddy excitement of my getting an AT-AT model for Christmas my Star Wars appetite has been well and truely wetted! So, what version of the roleplaying game do people think is the best Star Wars experience? I've heard good things about the Saga system, but I believe this is out of...

Thanks guys :) I'll give those places a try. its good to know there is a reasonable few gamers on our fair shores :)

Hi Guys Long time Lurker, first time poster. I love this site, its been both entertaining and informative to me down the years, long may it continue :) So hi to you all, and I hope this is posted in the right place! I gues this applies mainly to the UK based folk, but does anyone know of...
