And how is that, Mr. Mona...

So, I'm wondering if I'm the only one with that itch? 1e, 2e, 3e, 4e...been there, done that. Loved it, by the way. I've had a great time in every edition. I've also got some mad love for Hero Games (particularly Champs), Rolemaster, and my new love: Hackmaster. So, we started up a...

I surprised nobody has mentioned Hackmaster. Very enjoyable game experience that takes D&D (as we know it in 3e/4e) sideways. I'd also second votes for: Hero Games (preferably Champions) Savage Worlds (preferably Necessary Evil) Stormbringer Battletech (skirmish game)

In 4e: 1st level: AC: 12 - 22, HP: 15 - 35, Att: +1 - +8, Dam: 4 - 10 20th level: AC: 28 - 38, HP: 125 - 175, Att: +16 - +28, Dam: 25 - 35 These scale real nice at the same level, but don't play so well across each other. At the same level, you hit about 50%, for 3 - 7 hits. At 1st to 20th...

The game has a good ruleset to deal with issues just like this one. Hobgoblin Warchief and Allies - may or may not know the party is there Zombies - brains.... Kalarel and Co - sacrificing away I would tee this up as a skill challenge of sorts. If the PC's can navigate it successfully, using...

The Character Builder allows you to use a shield in your "off hand" and equip magical bracers on your arms.

Does anyone know who is hosting this year? Who is coordinating the event? Podcast would like to set up some interviews for this year. Thanks!

What's the interest? Encumbrance? Material Components? (This one should get some response...) Psionics? (and finally...) California?

What's so special about the Forgotten Realms? Wonder - the grey box and first supplements were full of wonder. The things covered in those books, compared to anything published to that date, were UNBELIVEABLE. Acquiring, reading, and absorbing these ideas was magical. Discovery - Pages from...

I'll confirm what Mark saw, that Barney was gaming using some kind of gaming books and some kind of minis in the flashback scen to when he was in "junior high" and was told about the goal of "100 women". I had to rewind it (DVR) for my wife to confirm!

/applauds /applauds loudly /stands /standing ovation Well done!

Scott, Thank you for your responses and interaction. Very cool. Quick editorial on 4e: 4e rocks it out in tactical combats, elegant villian construction rules, elite/solo/minions=awesome, class balance is incredible, new race and class options are compelling, treasure packaging is brilliant...

An island of hope in this sea of tragedy While I'm sure my brethren on ENWorld include as many crunch loving min-maxers as anywhere, I would ask this of you: What can you do with this new found free time as a DM or a player? How could you spend this time in an equally (more) fun way that...

I ran a mini-campaign in 2e of multi-class thieves. I had hoped for it to be a campaign but it fizzled. I was going to pit the rogues in the middle of deciding between the thieves' guild, assassins guild, and a counter-terrorist/spy group that were all operating in Waterdeep. I think it's a...

Yes! I really like this idea LostSoul. If we could come up with a set of standard "penalties" that would/could apply to failed stunts, you could do this very much on the fly, with the "benefit" being the possible damage bump and cool condition/effect. I do the same thing with my skill...

Ah, the page 42 debate! I believe that what you're considering LostSoul, is that page 42 covers damage expressions well, however it does not cover any of the following: forced movement effects tactical condition effects continuous damage effects If your player tries to do something "cool"...

DM: 1e - 16th 2e - 20th, including skills and powers 3e - 31st 4e - we're up to 6th! Played: 1e - 20th (I think I might have played in a 50th at GenCon once) 2e - mostly DM'd, don't recall 3e - mostly DM'd, don't recall

1) DM 2) Using their optimal attacks: a)75%, b)80%, c)95%, d)depends upon class and attack type (50% - 95%), b/c some naturally defend better against themselves 3) Yes, they should vary by class, attack type, and defense type 4) No, it should hit but be less effective 5) An action or an...

That's a cool idea, and it would be fun to play. I'm reviewing encounters that I've run in 4e from KoTS and ThunderLab... These guys would get their lunch handed to them in about 1/3 of the encounters. They are the ones that are the exact OPPOSITE of my party. I am currently running a six...
