    Looking to get Marvel Heroic Roleplaying started in Brooklyn/NYC

    Encounters: this season fails

    So WotC gives us an encounters season geared toward PVP and doesn't modify the core rules to allow it. RAW, a player character can not roll a bluff check to deceive another player character. Our DM came up with a reasonable system to adjudicate, opposed bluff to insight, and everyone cries BS...

    Necromancer feels too slow

    I plate tested today as a high elf sorcerer with the necromancer feat. My only use of the necromancer ability was in an encounter with kobolds. I slew one of the creatures in melee, the following round binding it's soul and, on the third round casting Cause Fear with disadvantage to one...

    1999 Dungeons and Dragons Box TSR 11450

    I've been watching eBay for this item for years and never seen it pop up. I've checked online for pdfs of it and every single download I find is mislabeled, an AD&D quickplay promo that I remember getting for free with an issue of Dragon Magazine. I remember when the product came out but I...

    Additional Spells for BECMI/RC D&D?

    I've been searching all over for supplements containing additional spells for this version of the game, but have found nothing aside from a few house-keeping (literally) themed spells, I believe in the Millenian Empire box, and the Create Air spell in Hollow World. Am I missing something, or...

    Heard a ridiculous thing at encounters tonight

    We had twelve players and two DMs. When they were trying to decicde how to split the groups betwee the two tables, I suggested everyone be divied up so that each table had all four roles covered. One of the DMs repsonded (sarcastically, I think...) "make sure you optimize those characters...

    Clerics without healing word?

    I thought i remembered reading something on these forums about a cleric power that replaces healing word. Did I imagine this? If not, where can I find the power?

    Threads should be locked after 3 pages

    Every thread I've seen (at least in the D&D forums) tends to go off topic at about 4 or 5 pages, and degenerates into mean spirited public argument after about 6 pages.

    The Unsung Hero of Essentials

    The Dungeon Tiles Master Set is the best deal out of the whole thing. 1) You basically get the equivalent of 2 dungeon tiles sets for $20. Aside from a few new pieces, there are a bunch of reprints from Out of Print sets as well. I have every dungeon tiles set (except for one set... can't...

    Considering Banning 20s

    To improve the usefullness of more race/class combinations, I'm considering setting a maximum starting ability score of 19, or possibly 18. I think a large reason people avoid things like Tiefling fighters, or eladrin paladins is because they feel obligated to have a 20 in their primary stat...

    Why does DM Rewards send me two of everything?

    I signed up for DM rewards a while back thinking that I would start reporting games the next time I DMed. Before I had a chance to DM anything, WotC sent me the Village of Hommlet. I felt a little guilty getting something for nothing but not guilty enough to send it back. A month later, they...

    Party of 3: Striker or Controller?

    The books say to go with a controller in this situation, but I can't see how that's right. We've got a human paladin and a dragonborn warlord. The third player was a warlock but changed last minute to a wizard. It seems to me that a smaller group of players will likely mean smaller groups of...
