    I am beginning to appreciate some of the design decisions of 4E.

    I played 3E for six years (2000-2006), and during that time I started many campaigns. Not a single campaign was played to the end, mostly due to the fact that I burned out as a DM when the campaign reached semi-high levels (9+). I can't stand to spend time on prep - beside the fun stuff like...

    Official Condition Cards

    I wish WoTC would make their official cards for conditions and ongoing damage available for sale at gaming stores. They were given out as DM rewards last year, and though I whole-heartedly support them handing out goodies to RPGA DMs, they could have made them available to all DMs (to purchase)...

    Most Played FRPG of 2010

    Last time I checked this poll, Pathfinder had more votes than 4E. But now 4E suddenly has twice the votes of Pathfinder :confused:

    Creepy Atmospheric Music suggestions?

    Try using Lustmord. He was the driving force behind "dark ambient" in the 80s and 90s. I have used it in my game to great effect, it really unnerved my group while still "staying in the background". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCLa6drPdjg

    Online character builder / printing

    Well, no one expressed any interest in new material, at least not for the time being. There are so many classes, so many feats and stuff that they are satisfied. Also, as a DM, if the players wanted to use the online character builder, that would be fine by me. (I only buy books that are useful...

    Online character builder / printing

    Thank you guys, nice suggestions! I have talked this over with my group, and we have decided to just keep using the old, offline character builder. Everyone in my group has become familiar with it, and finally after using the offline version since launch, it has become fairly bug-free (at least...

    Online character builder / printing

    I was considering posting this question over on the WoTC-forums, but when I saw what it had become (a seething pot of hat and nerdrage, not to mention a considerable amount of justifiable anger), I decided to post it here instead. I have tried printing character sheets from the online character...

    2010 Retrospective: 1Q Products

    The only one of these books I purchased (being a DM), was Underdark. Although I have yet to bring the campaign to the underdark, the book was IMHO excellent; evocative illustrations (except the large piece opening the monster-chapter, I hated that illustration) and equally evocative writing and...

    Wizards: Musings on the new DDi disaster

    I'm astounded at how much anger there is in this thread. When I tried out the new character builder, it crashed after a little while. I went "oh well, I'll get back to it after a few weeks" and wiped the matter from my mind. There was a slight disappointment, but nothing radical. I almost feel...

    Domination and attacks of opportunity

    During our last session, the following happened: The goliath fighter got dominated by a succbus, and because his two allies were out of his reach (i.e. he couldn't get to them in one round), I decided that the goliath fighter instead would use his movement to waltz around the enemies in the...

    Forgotten Kingdoms Lands Art

    And I don't even think it's the complete art gallery for the Monster Vault, most likely pieces from the adventure and a few pieces from the book itself. I have seen some pics of the book's interior, and the art I saw there didn't appear in the gallery.

    Forgotten Kingdoms Lands Art

    Take it easy. This is most likely not the correct art gallery, as the four pieces of art previewed in the weekly excerpts aren't even included (click here and scroll all the way down to view the pics, click to enlarge)

    Star Pact Hexblades up

    There is much coolness in this post. Check out this link (after i found the song on YouTube, I used it as background-music for when the players entered a black pyramid in the Abyss, the roars were the sounds of the creature imprisoned within): YouTube - Cosmic Void: We are Alone! {HD}

    Star Pact Hexblades up

    New Race: Shade! It says "Note that this race is not yet released and will be detailed in Heroes of Shadow". I hope it's a sort of Dante-ish dead soul with sentience and free will. There is some excellent fluff here. A small excerpt (no crunch): "The only stars that don’t deceive their viewer...

    November 16th release for Web-based Character Builder

    Oh, I didn't know that it was illegal. Well, in theory, would it be possible for a completely horrible criminal to share his subscription to the character builder with other players?

    November 16th release for Web-based Character Builder

    I'm not necessarily looking to have 5 computers logged in at the same time. What is important to me, is that my players have the ability to use the character builder that I subscribe to.

    November 16th release for Web-based Character Builder

    Just a question: In my group, I pay for DDI-subscription, and the other players use my password to download updates. The important thing is that they (the players, I'm the DM) don't spend any money. I'm not sure they would. Will this new version of the character builder allow for us to continue...

    I love The Rules Compendium!

    I recently snagged a copy of The Rules Compendium, and having read much of the book, I can only say that I love it. I have played 4E from the launch in 2008, and although I'm not a fanboy, I certainly like the system very much. But I wasn't always a fan of the presentation. The rules compendium...
