I cannot relate to the pregnancy. I can see where it would be difficult for the group cohesion. Friendship and comradary is the essence of PnP RPG's. PnP RPG's are truely one the finest building blocks of friendship their is. I run what I would term as a 'college' campaign. I decided to get...

I would like to jump on the 'me too' band wagon if possible!

Give them something akin to arcane blast first. Make damage scale with level. To me, even when I played 1e or older editions, it was ridiculous to have a magic user that would resort to a crossbow. If they are going to use one anyways, make it a neat in game effect that is 'magical'. Also...

A moderately hard door to open for a level 1 character is DC 10. 1st level dork, no str bonus, +0 due to level. The same moderately hard door to open for a level 30 character is DC 24. 30th level dork, no str bonus, +15 due to level. Challenges scale with level Chapter 3 p42, DMG. The same...

Wish I lived in NJ. I would LOVE this!!

I went ahead and bought despite the errata. I can download the fixed PDF later. Then I can compare your barbarian to the Unofficial WOTC barbarian. This is the first edition of D&D since basic and AD&D that I have felt that I want to buy supplements for. Exciting.

What? You mean use your imagination? Shouldn't their be a rule for that or something? Describe an action? Envision the action? Huh.

I am looking at buying this PDF after it has the errata (Mouseferatu or jgbrowning could you post here when it is available?). In the meantime, I was wondering about a comparison between the WOTC play test barbarian and this one? I am really curious. Thanks!

Remember, all challenges scale with level, so the first level challenge and the 20th level challenge for each character are basically the same.

Awesome!! I can't wait to get my copy. I too am going to run it in 4e for my group. I have not looked this forward to running an adventure since Keep on the Borderlands and Horror on the Hill!!

I have never played with encumbrance in any edition, that being relegated to something we have always put to 'eyeballing it'. However, it would be easy to calculate. a +1.5 is a 13, so whatever a 13 would normally give you. A +3.5 is a 17. Last night went pretty good. A slaver that put a...

We are developing and playing a version of 4e which we call 'bloody' D&D. Here is how it works. Old-Timers like myself will recognize a lot of it. :) All Characters roll 3d6 for stats 7 times, take the best 6. They apply racial bonuses to the stat. The following chart gives the character...

My 13 year old can make better rulings than WOTC customer service.

Half or quater all monster HP and EXP. Keep characters the way they are. Works great.

I think I will buy very little books beyond core and pick them all up in subscription to DNDInsider.....if that part ever materializes.

Actually, that is the point of the original post, is the experience and number of encounters. Building balanced encounters was a footnote. BTW, B5 is awesome. One of my favorites. Figure out what level you want the characters to be after wiping out certain areas. Do away with XP altogether...

Thats it, thanks!

I saw a while back on the board where someone had made a cut and paste errata file for 4e. I cannot find that thread again. Can someone point me to it?

Ever seen the movie Dumb And Dumber? In the van one of the characters gives us a moment of the most annoying sound in the world. That is what a shrieker sounds like. Or have a wife? Record her as she is shrieking at you to get the lawn done, etc, etc. That could also qualify as the sound a...

I am one of those nerds that really likes to have a good monetary system. I really liked Gary Gygax's system of equating prices to dollars, so everyone has a real world reference to what value they have. When I heard that 4e was going to have economics taken care of I almost had a masturbation...
