    D&D Name Generator

    I whipped up this name generator a while back and was looking for input on how to improve it. It typically does a nice job and is flexible enough to tailor to most campaigns. Just download and hit F9 until you're happy.

    I bet he plays a mean dwarf...

    Man bound over for trial in hammer attacks - Salt Lake Tribune So terrible joke aside, what is the current state of the D&D reputation? I recall that when 3e came out there was a sort of D&D renaissance with positive press and reception. Has 4e created a similar renaissance or has D&D...

    In Defense of Wizards (forked thread: rating Wizards)

    I shall begin by noting that I am a harsh critic of everything I encounter. I am what most people would call “grumpy.” So when I stand in defense of something it is only because it absolutely deserves it. That said, I shall delve… In 1997 Wizards of the Coast bought D&D and began a...

    D&D 4E Mass Combat with 4e Rules

    As my 3e camp winds to a close I am slowly introducing elements of 4e. The campaign has built to a massive war in which the players will lead small armies and a legion of knights they founded. I created a set of rules premised on the 4e rules to try and make a fun mass combat system. Any...

    Dice and Math-- Need math people!

    The 4e threads talk a lot about reducing the number of dice rolled by having a few dice and then a flat plus. Even in mid level play I saw a lot of situations of players rolling 10-15 d6 multiple times per round. My question is how many dice do you need to maintain a fair randomization? I am...

    Swift actions into Standard

    I know that you only get one swift action per round, but is it possible to demote a standard action into a swift action? What about a move? Essentially, is there any way to cast two swift spells in a single round? Thanks in advance.

    The title speaks for itself really... Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a font that looks stylish and reads well when put over a colorful map. Thanks in advance.

    DM Woes (but different)

    Our group switches DMs from time to time and right now the DM isn't doing as good a job as we would like. With rather disparate schedules we rarely play (it has almost been 2 months) because he never tries to find pockets of time, always relying on the players to set up games. One of the...

    Making your own DM screen

    So that's my plan. I know some others have tried to do similar in the past and any input would be helpful. I am looking for advice on both the materials and what to put on it. So far I have decided that I am going to use 4 panels horizontally oriented and I want the XP table on it, everything...

    Quick question on the Ninja

    The Ninja's Ghost Step (gained at 2nd) ability makes himinvisible for one round, but doesn't actually reference the invisibility spell, leading me to believe that he remains invisible even if he attacks. Assuming this is true, it lasts until his next action. The Ninja's Ki Dodge (gained at...
