New Adventure for Dungeon posted today. Looks pretty interesting, has the character trying to figure out how to break into a keep and steal a treasure hoard. Also has some nice mechanics for managing the defenses that I might have to adapt for a different setup I have coming up for my players.

Already a discussion going here http://www.enworld.org/forum/new-horizons-upcoming-edition-d-d/319899-one-hour-d-d-game.html

The ritual says "your level or lower, so making a level 3 item means the minimum is to be level 3 No, it's 680 GP for the cost of a +1 Paired weapon period, you don't need to have a separate cost for the level 1 +1 enchantment. I also thought the 1gp for the dagger itself was included in that...

I agree with the people saying it makes more sense to keep things simple, though still give some good flavor. Maybe something more complex and mechanical can fit for the leaders of the group. Also since Mattachine mentioned the old Hordelings, I figured I'd point out there's a 4e update to...

I'll second the recommendation for Slaying Stone. I also really like what I've seen of Zeitgeist, though haven't had a chance to run it myself yet, but not sure if it's where I'd start people off, depending on what kind of introduction you're trying to give people. If you just want something...

I have little experience with 3e and none with Pathfinder, but my impression is NPCs would be built pretty much the same as a normal character. On the other 4e has the companion character guidelines set out in the DMG2, which give suggestions for simplified characters. Depending on your view, I...

I've been running my players through and they just finished up Den of Destroyer. I'll agree with the others in saying it seems to be a decent core storyline, with a few big holes and feels a little flat roleplaying wise, but overall my player's seem to be enjoying it. A few major tweaks I made...

If I remember right the Hengeyokai was originally published as a playtest, and recently finalized. Think it will be due in the builder next month in that case.

The Slaying Stone for 4e has a brass dragon that's designed more as a social encounter and not for slaying, also

The mechanics of themes are similiar to kits (though I'm less familiar with 2e so I'm just going with Morrus' description), however they're not tied to a specific class. So a samurai cleric would work mechanically - storywise it sounds like it would be a good fit for someone that wanted to play...

I happened to recently come across another mention, tracked down description from back then. The relevant part:

Greg is still at WOTC unless you're breaking more news

It's been a while so I forgot exactly how it was playing out, but I think we were using skill rolls to represent if the information we gave was actually something Vecna might be interested in. I tried to tie in some recent events with my character, a star pact warlock- we recently had a fight...

One theme that I think has a lot of unused potential is the Martial Scientist. I really like the flavor of it, but the mechanics seem to not really reflect a person who has spent years studying how to fight. Being a (non-martial) scientist myself, I see a tendency for us to hone in on the little...

I don't know about any particular threads devoted to Zeitgeist, though I have been talking it up whenever I come across people asking non-WOTC adventures or how to introduce more modern elements.

I really like the gunsmith modification options, I'm not sure about the sharing enhancement bonus for firearms though. Mechanically it seems to be intended to limit the number of enchanted weapons you need to acquire, but storywise I have a hard time picturing why this would work. I also like...

I think the technicality is the answer. The compendium defines speed as "The distance (in squares) that a creature can move using the walk action." and says armor "imposes a penalty on its wearer's speed", not movement or something like that. In contrast the slowed condition specifically calls...

On the similar thread over on the WOTC site Steve Winter chimed in to say they're not discontinuing it. Sounds like conflicting information with distributors telling stores it's not available. Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible

You can run windows on a virtual machine, but you need to be able to install a full version of windows. One program I'm aware of is called VMware, there might be others as well. You can also dual-boot, which is what I do since I only have the windows that came pre-installed and need it rarely...

Moonlight can run some silverlight stuff, but it doesn't have all the all the features of the latest silverlight. Character builder hasn't ever worked for me, and never even bothered testing the monster builder. I haven't heard of anyone successfully running it either.
