I’ll be GMing a game starting next week for only one player. We’ve decided that we like the Zeitgeist campaign world and will be running a game based in that setting. He is going to be running a guild assassin in Flint. What I’m asking for are ideas for “adventures/plot ideas" to give to a...

How do you come up with inspiration for creating adventures? I’m looking for things to kick start adventure ideas, adventure styles, or anything else? I am creating a binder with printed out collection of ideas so I can easily open while lying in bed or sitting on the porch and come up with...

As a DM, do you give out, or allow, additional bonuses for the PC characters during character creation to help flesh out a character? If so, what kind of things do you allow? Some of the ones I have seen or have used in the past have been... An extra feat (from list) An extra feat (of choice)...

I’ve been looking at the Knight, Slayer, and Fighter (PHB) and I’m confused about something. Heroes of the Fallen Lands says when a player chooses a new power they can choose a new power from any powers as long as they are from; 1. Same class 2. Same level 3. Same type (attack, utility)...

How would the following make or break the game? Reduce the number of starting healing surges for everyone by 2. Everyone having Adrenaline Rush as an encounter power; Adrenaline Rush (Standard Action) Spend a healing surge. Instead of regaining hit points you gain a number of temporary hit...

From my understanding, the essential classes are supposed to vary as far as ease of use. Fighters are supposed to be easy for a newcomer to pick up and use, while Wizards are suppose to be more difficult. If this is the case, how would you rate the ease of use difficulty for each of the...

Just had to share. I started a new campaign a few months back with a group of players, most of which are new players and a couple experienced players involved as well. The game has a strong storytelling aspect to it with at least one combat per session. The players were getting pretty involved...

Getting ready to start a new campaign and our group has decided to use a message board. We came up with a few ideas on how to use it, but I thought I would check to see what kind of things other people did while using a message board during the off time from the campaign. Thanks

I am thinking of purchasing a netbook and I have the option of the normal Hard Drive or the Solid State Drive Flash Module. I am leaning towards the SSD and I have intentions of adding Character Builder and Monster Builder to my netbook but I just want to make sure it will work or does the CB...

I'm beginning to think that the Knockdown Assault is too powerful. With this build I can almost every time knockdown my opponent and slide him one square. What I like to do is to slide my rogue a prone opponent so he can take the sneak attack then he shifts 1 square away, allowing me to do it...

If a fighter marks a target with a reach weapon that is two squares away from him and then on that targets turn, it decides to shift 1 square closer to the fighter, would the fighter be able to make an OA and stop the target from shifting 1 square closer? and now for a trick question...what if...

Does anyone know why the Vicious Venues and Steal this Hook columns for Dungeon Magazine are not part of the complition? Are there any other columns for either magazine that are also not part of that magazines complition?

Updating the scales of war backgrounds (dragon magazine 366) to the new PHBII background versions. For most of the backgrounds this was easily done. You just replace the benefits of the original version with the Associated Skills listed here and you’re done. There are some without listed...

I am creating a race for my homebrewed campaign world and would like feedback on the racial power for one of the races. PEACH Thanks

I had originally created the boomerang in this thread. I still like the weapon and now that there are these feats to specialize in weapons I thought I would try to use feats to get a better boomerang. PEACH Superior Range One-Handed Weapon Boomerang Prof. +2 Dam. d4 Range 10/20 Cost: 1ep...

This is from my Blog which can be found by following the link in my sig. Thought I would add it here as well since more people check the forums out more than the blogs. Creating 0-level rules for 4e. In creating these rules, I looked at the different 0-level rules created for previous editions...

Is there any way I can have a character use a hand crossbow (or any bow for that matter) while taking cover, jump out of cover, attack, then jump back behind the cover? Or the character is behind cover but wants to run a few squares, fire the crossbow, then finish the move behind different...

What would mechanically be affected by having players roll for initiative every round? I understand this will make combat take longer (this is not an issue for the group), but is there anything that would change because of this? I can't think of any which is why I am looking for help. Thanks...

I've been playing D&D for many many years now and recently got married. My wife had no idea that I played D&D. I never felt the need to tell her before we got married. However she started asking me many questions on this "hobby" that I spend so much time with. Past experiences proved to me...
