I have just started to play around with AI both for idea generation and creative support when writing adventures, but also for illustrations. I recently started to dig deeper into Stable Diffusion (and had to upgrade to 32G RAM on my PC to be able to do the stuff I wanted.) I must say I find it...

I was implementing some macro scripts for my 4th Edition game in MapTools. I am trying to calculate the critical damage for two-weapon powers the like "Whirling Rend" (Barbarian 1st Level At-Will Power). I could not find any guidance in the 4th Edition books that brought clarity to me, so I...

So what was your best in-game experience/memory from your gaming during 2019? The things that stuck out from the rest, and why. Only player view. No DM view in this thread. (Sadly I only DM, so I can't share myself) /Myrhdraak

My old laptop with D&D 4e Adventure Tools will soon join the other good PCs I have had in Elysium. However, now I realize that I have a problem. I have the Adventure Tools application with all the data on my old PC and have in a legal sense already bought the rights to use it. However as the SW...

Was just taking a look at converting a classic mummy into a 4.5 Edition version, i.e. borrowing the best of 5th Edition to 4th Edition, when it really struck me - the 5e monsters are clearly nastier! Lets just start by comparing mummy rot in the various editions. 2nd Edition: "A single blow...

This conversion guide is an exercise in trying to convert the 5th Edition version of The The Sunless Citadel adventure using my own D&D 4.5 Edition conversion rules. The adventure appears in the new Tales from the Yawning Portal adventure book. In order to be able to use this conversion you need...

Having read read DM David’s blog and playing 4th Edition and doing some 4th Edition conversions from 3.5 edition I have to agree with some of his statements. “In D&D next, a party can role-play, explore, and finish a few fights in a 2-hour session. In 4E, not a chance. At most, players can drop...

As I have decided to keep on playing 4th Edition I have started focusing on adding the things I felt was missing in 4th Edition, and thereby creating my own 4.5 Edition. One of the areas I think was missed out on was 4th Edition rituals for Psionics - which I call mantras. Download my rules for...

I have decided to do my own 4.5 Edition combining what I liked in 4th Edition and incorporating the changes I liked in 5th Edition. However, I would be very interested in hearing from those of you that fully embraced 4th Edition - played it, liked it, but have now moved on and are running 5th...

One thing I have experienced with 4th Edition as a DM is that you have to plan 3-5 encounters between each extended rest in order to challenge the party. This is fine when in a dungeon or any other multi-encounter environment, but less so when the party for example is travelling and you want to...

One idea I have had growing in my head as I have worked on my own 4.5 Edition (by porting the best new additions from 5th Edition into my 4th Edition campaign), is the possibility to port 4th Edition characters and monsters straight over to 5th Edition. My gut feeling is that it would maybe be...

Looking at the 4th Edition adventure series H1 Keep on the Shadowfell, up to E3 Prince of Undeat – there is very little in the plotline that really ties these adventures together into a full story - especially in the heroic and paragon levels. When I read the Keep on the Shadowfell I had hoped...

PATHFINDER: Reign of Winter 4th Edition Conversion So, 4th Edition is dead, at least in the eyes of Wizard of the Coast. Everyone has their views of why this happened. Personally I think the biggest mistake WotC did was to end their cooperation with Paizo. Paizo had delivered some really great...
