    DDI Updates in December

    Not mad at all - just patiently but eagerly waiting for house rules to be added to the CB before I subscribe. All my games' use house rules so it's sort of a must. When I can use it for my characters, I'll be excited to subscribe. I assume it'll come within the next couple updates.

    yes, and oh?, and cool, and thanks. Now, show me how I can add house rules and I'll be *very* happy.

    FREE shipping to the far corners of the planet

    Either I mis-typed or your mis-read. I'm buying from their UK site and shipping them to Korea. Usually I'd buy from US sites and have them shipped to Korea which was just too expensive. Now, my game purchasing inhibitions have been stripped and I'm spending much more than I my wife knows.

    DDI Updates in December

    only 20 character slots - seems like a silly problem that should be changed already - but not a deal breaker for me MV monsters lvl 1-10 not perfect, but accepatable now that the online Monster Builder is at least usable. I'm assuming Jan update will include the remainng MV monsters - not a...

    Monster Vault First Impressions...

    Just got mine shipped to Korea (for FREE from bookdepository.com!) and love it. I love using miniatures, but these quality tokens really provide additional options for minis I don't have. LOVE IT!

    Essentials classes question

    After 25 years away from the hobby, I re-started a year ago with 4e and love the concept of giving players attach options each round. However, I have come to agree with the OP - I feel that now there are too many options, too much tracking of conditions, and the characters are starting to feel...

    Essentials classes question

    Can't give you XP again, but wanted to thank you for the best breakdown I've seen. Very helpful - thanks.

    FREE shipping to the far corners of the planet

    (I couldn't figure out where to post this - sorry if this is the wrong forum) I've been living in Korea for some time and have had serious problems being able to get rpg products (D&D 4e for me). Shipping for minis isn't too expensive, but books double the price, and shipping the new...

    A question about grab/other mechanics

    This is just how I DM, but if I saw your concept, I would change your Drain Blood feat to a move action (or even a minor+move). This way, if you were already in melee combat, you could grab and then drain blood. It does slightly power up the feat but does not break it. Primarily I would do...

    Custom Character Portraits

    Doesn't enworld host the new marketplace where people publishers can list requests which artist then offer bids? And by publishers, does that just mean anyone who wants artwork done? I've been considering using the marketplace. Though Klaus' artwork is FANTASTIC (and thus likely too expensive).

    Assassination of the Prince

    This isn't too rare of a storyline, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to find out how to set it up correctly and would LOVE some ideas, inspirations, or module recommendations. I tried to DM this campaign freer than I have in the past, but now after following the unexpected actions of the...

    Monster Cards

    whatever, Negative Nancy. OK, the MB certainly takes away some of the benefits of having Monster Cards. We're assuming it'll go online sometime of course. The same could be said for almost any published material though - it's online and thus looses some value. But a box of nice cards beats...

    Monster Cards

    Well son, even older timers who skipped over 2e had no idea this ever existed. Interesting.

    Photos of your favorite poster maps / battle maps?

    I'm a level 23 thief. I have my ways. :devil: Additionally, I don't think they're behind the pay wall - I'm not a subscriber. I just did *a lot* of searches and found the links. I DM a 1/2 dozen games a week in Korea and really need more materials/modules/maps. This Christmas I'm buying up...

    Photos of your favorite poster maps / battle maps?

    Great deal! 1" maps, yep. This map pack is the best deal that basically no one seems to know about. I love them and use them all the time. The swamp, beach, and forest map are particularly useful.

    Guilty Admissions...

    My name is buddhafrog and... my wife is Korean and we live in Korea where there is *no* rpg's. She sort-of thinks cool people play D&D. I don't tell her about the stereotypes and the truths behind them.

    Maybe I'm playing it wrong...

    This is exactly right IMO. 4/5 PC can make a difference certainly. And if in doubt, significantly lower the monsters HP if needed - it'll make the combat much faster than lowering the monsters' damage. Making it easy at first is not a bad idea for any beginning player, but especially a kid...

    D&D 4E 4E Core or Essentials?

    Agreed. Hands down, this is the best place on the web to learn how to play D&D. Without Enworld I'm not sure where I'd be with D&D right now - possibly not playing - which means my son and the 20+ kids I play with wouldn't be playing either. Good work building new players everyone!

    Essentials and Treasure Parcels Analyzed

    I don't understand why I, the DM, would roll random treasure in preparation. I just assign appropriate treasure where I see fit. However, I love to have players roll this random treasure in-game. This is fun.

    Monster Cards

    I would love WotC to publish a box set of rolodex index cards for monsters. I'd pay a hefty price. The problem is, for example, how many various Orc cards would be included? Never enough for what you'd eventually need. The set should come with plenty of blank cards for you to make your own...
