Unless I'm missing something, a pair of warriors each of whom has the Protection Fighting Style can stand adjacent to each other and use their Reactions every round to protect one another against all attacks. Did we just get a Shield Wall option for paired warriors? I could see a line or group...

The PCs in our home game recently killed an adult white dragon and have indicated they are planning to skin the dragon to take trophies. I want to make this more interesting and potentially more rewarding. With that in mind I've decided that they can use parts of the dragon's corpse to make...

I DM'd a group through about half of White Plume Mountain last night. I had hoped to complete the full dungeon in one session. I'm a reasonably good DM with 35+ years of playing/DMing D&D. I should have known better. Played for five hours of which about an hour was spent "researching" and...

Memorial Day Playtest Quick Take We played. It was fun. It felt like D&D. It even felt a little bit like old school D&D. Ignorance Disclaimer I did not read any of the DM material before playing. I’m normally a DM in our group. I wanted to experience the game from the player's side of the...

I have three house rules in my current D&D game. We're 18 game sessions into the campaign, 7th level, and it's going well. My house rules: Gain any single "expertise" feat of choice at 5th level free Gain any single "improved defense" feat of choice at 7th level free The party may cast two...

Inspired by many threads on this board of late. Let's "flatten" the math. I'll focus on attack rolls vs. AC, but assume a similar scale applies to all d20-based math. Assume the "class/level options" works across 20 or 30 (whatever the game supports) levels. The most basic of d20 rolls in...

In previous versions of Dungeons and Dragons the wail of a banshee was deadly. In 4e (following the "no save or die" unwritten rule) it's not so. I don't like that. Proposed banshee wail power (for level 12 controller): Standard Action Banshee Wail (fear, necrotic) Encounter Attack: close...

Help me level this magic item. It's a neck piece with a daily power. The daily power is part of the effect from the Warlock 1st level daily power "Armor of Agathys." Flaming Burst Cloak (Level 4+ Rare) Made from a red dragon's wing, this claok protects you from harm and bathes your foes in...

I'm going to India on a business trip. I buy dice whenever I travel. I want to buy some dice in India. I will visit the cities of New Delhi, Pune, and Bangalore. Does anyone here live in India or visit India often enough to direct me to a FLGS there?

I play D&D with a great group of people. We've played together for years. We're short a body lately. Wanna play? Qualifications (in no particular order; these are all important): 1. Mature: We're all over 30. We sometimes act like we're over 30. We prefer to hang out with people that do the...

I heard this weekend about two game stores in my area that have a "pay to play policy" for their game areas. One of the stores asks that you spend at least $5.00 if you are in the store for half an hour or more (whether playing or not) and particularly applies this to the D&D Encounters and...

I'm going to bring a ton o' board games. I'm open to playing anything on Wednesday afternoon. I expect to arrive around noon or so. Game on after 2:00. Options: Dominion Arkham Horror A Game of Thrones Puerto Rico Succession Shadows Over Camelot Diplomacy or something you bring along! Look...

Dwarf Politics in a Nutshell: the Dwarfs of Stonehome have a six member council. Each position serves twelve years and there is an election for one of the positions every 2 years. One of the six positions is King. King gets two votes and a ton of other "rights and privileges" that are not...

A new Vampire LARP is starting up in Hoston on Friday, June 11. For those familiar with the Houston LARP scene this is a resurrection of the classic "Rice Game" from the mid/late 90s hosted by some of the best storytellers around. The first game session will mostly deal with character creation...

Let's play A Game of Thrones board game on Saturday afternoon. The game supports 5 or 6 players. The game runs at least 3 hours, and probably closer to 5. Details: 12p - 5p, Saturday in the Fairfield hotel lobby. We might move somewhere else if that space is not good. Players: 1. Brent 2...

How about a game of Shadows Over Camelot? Sunday morning, 10 am, Fairfield Inn lobby. The game takes 1 -2 hours to play and accomdates up to 8 players. Best with at least 5. We could play one or two games before heading over to the picnic (that I assume will happen this year). Fairfield is...

In light of the "how many encounters before an extened rest" type questions/threads I've seen, I thought I would share a session report from this past Friday (and the previous game session). I used encounters converted from Dungeon Delve Level 4 and Draconomicon: Chromatic Dragons Level 6 (?)...
