    Yeah sorry about that man. I guess the moderators can go ahead and close this thread out. Thanks

    Ptolus Large Vinyl Map

    Good luck! Good to know it will go to a good home. I'm also going to be putting up my signed and numbered Ptolus book as well.

    Ptolus Large Vinyl Map

    I'm selling some of my old d20 books and decided to go ahead and start with my Ptolus material. I have one of the large vinyl maps and remember seeing some posters here saying they were trying to find one. You can find the listing here...

    New Character Builder from WotC!

    Spent some time entering my wife's character, saved it.. now it won't load. It errors out every single time.

    New Character Builder from WotC!

    So far this software is very, very buggy. I get errors about every other click and have to refresh. The Essentials character sheet doesn't check trained skills. If you make a copy of a character, you can't save that character as normal after deleting the old one. Also, no Heroes of the Forgotten...

    D&D 4E 4E Essentials: Dungeon Masters's Kit in Hand

    I finally got my DM's Vault today and while I am mostly happy with it, there was one unforgiveable oversight. The Essentials books are supposed to be a core product for the D&D line. A DM and players are supposed to be able to DM and play the game using just those books. Well, after having...

    New DM's Kit? Anybody?

    I'd say thats about as far from the truth as one could get. You might be running it for your 9 year old son, but its still 4E D&D, just with different classes and powers. I'm running it for a group of 20+ year RPG veterans and no one finds the rules elementary or basic. Essentials is just...

    New DM's Kit? Anybody?

    No, but you can actually find the rules in the DMG2, you just need to update the DCs to match the ones listed in the Rules Compendium. I really wish there was a Trap Builder available in Adventure Tools.

    No Character Builder Update

    I really do grow tired of the pencil and paper crowd's attitude. Can you make characters with pencil and character sheets? Yes. Do I want to... NO! Did I pay for the luxury so that I don't have to.. yes I did and I would prefer if it WotC kept up its end of the bargain and provided timely...

    D&D 4E WotC's 4E Setting approach - was it a mistake?

    I really dislike the current model of setting releases. I don't have the time to do any heavy fleshing out of areas, I barely set aside enough time for adventure prep, I don't have any to spend on detailing regions and towns. From what I've seen all publishers have gone this way. WFRP3 is a...

    Settings - "empty" vs richly detailed locations

    One of my biggest issues with 4E has been lack of detailed information for game settings. When I buy a setting, I'd much rather a very focused attention to detail on areas over a broad overview that doesn't give me any depth. I simply don't have the time time to worldbuild and create NPCs, map...

    Vote for your Forgotten Realms!

    WotC lost a very loyal FR fan when they released FR4E. I won't go into the reasons as others have stated them before, but for me the Grey Box plus FR1-FR16 was my favorite. Beyond that, Steve Schend's Empires of the Shining Sea and Lands of Intrigue rate among my favorite FR releases. These...

    Which FR focused sourcebook should I buy?

    I would suggest Unapproachable East. I thought it was an excellent source book, and could definitely be transplanted to another setting. Its full of very unique traditions and backgrounds.

    Does Dungeons and Dragons need supported settings?

    As I have little time to prepare for games, to draw maps and figure out travel distances and things of that nature, I require support for the campaign setting that I am going to choose. I need there to be at least one part of the world that the campaign settings focus on. they need roads...

    Does Dungeons and Dragons need supported settings?

    I don't play 4E because they haven't supported their game settings. I don't have the time to make my own, and they changed FR so much that my vast collection is practically useless. I can understand the need to go forward, but moving forward and not filling that void lost me as a customer.

    Chaos Scar!

    Good catch, thanks crash!

    Chaos Scar!

    Is Voran Earthmane’s keep marked on the Chaos Scar map? I'm not seeing it for some reason. Also, is there a scale for the map listed anywhere?

    The New Forgotten Realms - (About) A Year Later

    I played in the Forgotten Realms since the early articles in Dragon Magazine and the release of the Gray Boxed set. For me, the Realms reached their height when Steven Schend wrote the Empires of the Shining Sea and Lands of Intrigue. To this date I judge all roleplaying supplements by comparing...

    WFRP - THIRD Edition Announced from FFG

    I won't be moving from 2E to this. Simple as that.

    A radical solution for dealing with 4e grind - halve ALL HP

    Whenever I start to run into grind, which isn't very often as the party boasts three strikers, I just decide when the monsters die. That way nothing is set in stone, and you can judge each situation yourself.
