    First review of the new Red Box

    This post is directed at the people above that didn't like the mathematics of the characters in the boxed set. To them I say: WHAT THE HELL? Now I've only played 4th edition so I admit I don't really know where you guys are coming from, but seriously, what gives? I'd really love to know what it...

    D&D 4E D&D 4e Combat Tracker Updated

    Oh I'm sure you can. Use it for initiative rolling/sequence, keeping track of monster hps, easy reference to monster blocks and PC defenses your game will be revolutionised.

    non-4e D&D Players . . .

    Wow, there's some bitterness in this thread! I'm quite new to D&D so don't really understand where people are coming from but it clearly goes far beyond a mere dislike of 4e's game mechanics!

    Could anyone recommend some good 1st-level modules for 4th ed.?

    A further vote for the Slaying Stone.

    The Essentials Human (wild mass guessing)

    Its very easy to just put a little note in the knight build instructing you to take an extra stance instead of an at will.

    The Essentials Human (wild mass guessing)

    Exactly. The at will stances are clearly analogous with the current fighter's at will powers.

    Daily powers replaced with class features for Fighter & Ranger

    Just listened to yesterday's Essentials podcast on WOTC.com and it verified the lack of dailes for the Ranger and Fighter (no word on the rogue yet). The surprising part is that not only are they not being replaced with level appropriate encounter powers, they aren't even being replaced with...

    Essentials line and Compendium, does this mean I can start over?

    Keep the PHB1 it has player character builds/powers/feats etc entirely exclusive to it. Ditch that MM and DMG though, the math has changed somewhat since they were first released.

    Demonomicon, ToH, Orcs of Stonefang Pass and Vor Rukoth in hand

    Demonomicon and the adventures have already been spilled over on RPG.net. Vor Rukoth! Vor Rukoth! I'd love to see a pic of its poster map.

    Guild Wars 2 and the Future of Classes and Roles

    Some of what you describe above is already present in D&D with hybrid characters and just regular old multi-classing.

    D&D 4E 4E Miniatures

    They don't always have what you want but I recommend Auggies. I'm pretty sure they're the cheapest in North America. They've done me well over the last two years.

    What Do The languages Sound Like?

    We have a lot of fun with Drow in our game. Welsh is one of the two languages Tokien based Elvish on and DnD has particularly embraced this with the Drow (many Drow names are Welsh, Drizzt's panther etc etc). So Drow must clearly speak in a lilting Welsh accent. The best part of this is that two...

    Dungeon Tiles Master Sets - Not a good deal?

    I believe its both a case and usable terrain/tile.

    It doesn't get much worse than this!

    Man, whats wrong with (some of) you people. It was great! Lighten up. Someones being a little over-sensitive methinks.

    Lvl 1 Bear Shaman AC a problem?

    Agreed, they really need that 13 Strength for chain. Which is a shame as it really doesnt fit well thematically and you have to waste points into str. The bear shaman doesn't appear to be any stronger than the other two builds (which are both excellent) but has an inexplicably lower AC.

    D&D 4E Worst Monsters in 4e

    I second the Gobline Hexer. Ands Orcs - bloody Orcs! Whats their schtick? They take a long time to kill. They may not kill you but they sure will stand there for a long time waiting for you to kill them. Doh!
