    How have you explained roleplaying to your spouse/SO?

    I'd go on to explain that different characters (on TV or otherwise) focus on different things. Some love combat, others love an argument. Still others enjoy burning things down. To explain the dice, books and rules I'd bring up that characters are working against each other. Usually against...

    DDI Character Builder and OS X (or Linux)

    I haven't had any luck making it work in the latest WINE release candidate either (wine-1.2-rc5). Word is that WINE is making leaps and bounds so it might catch up.

    Crashing the game: When the DM doesn't expect resistance

    I'd have to agree with the idea of a capture start as being a great plot element and most DMs want it. It's in movies, books, games, TV, etc. Lois Lane spends half her life tied to a chair and Batman often arranges to get caught. This was my thought too. Starting a group off in a prison...

    Anyone play an assassin yet?

    Have you used the extra TP much? I would think it would be effective at lower levels but, for the Assassin, would start to be much less needed over time.

    Anyone play an assassin yet?

    Much like Halfling/Rogue, Dragonborn/Paladin, Half-Orc/Barbarian and Deva/Invoker. It's pretty much the favored class from 3.x without actually being a favored class.

    Speeding Up Combat

    And if they take the boss down with OA's so much the better. We had a giant boss (don't remember what) move because he decided he didn't want to be flanked. Fighter and Paladin crit, Rogue hit and did nearly max. He went down hard. Thing is, his AC was huge. He just figured we couldn't...

    quick question: what's the lowest level monster that can petrify?

    Interesting. Personally I've experienced the positioning tricks as well. When I can move a boss to where we need him, he's done. If he can go where he wants, we're about to have a major problem. I'm glad they were on guard. I think the opening with dailies on a boss is brilliant, combined...

    Speeding Up Combat

    Sorry, forgot: Once printed, put them in the plastic sleeves meant for magic cards. Add old cards behind them to give them some weight and keep them from bending. Finally, we flip it over when we've used it and turn it sideways when it's active (ongoing damage, flaming spheres, etc.).

    quick question: what's the lowest level monster that can petrify?

    I'm definitely curious. Why are you looking to stone your players? They make incense for that.

    Trying to get hit?

    As someone playing a rogue, I'm totally for this one. :D

    Speeding Up Combat

    Die Rolls, Die Piles and Skill/Power Cards Best thing I ever did to speed up my turn was to roll to hit and roll damage together. I don't hit? Ignore the damage roll. That being said, it didn't speed up anyone else's turn. Mostly because they don't do it, no matter how many times I've...

    Our gaming group just spent two games reading OoTS from the projector. We each took different voices. I think it would take more than two 6 hour sessions to go through this one though. I'm impressed! :p :p (I get to read Mostin!)

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    It's good to know the Old guy is human. Like the rest of us, unpacking is not a priority. :P

    Ah, jeese. Now I gotta come back. Can't let Horacio reclaim his title of Most Obsessive Story Hour reader.

    Hey, it is hard to tell with you. . . Could be worse. You could be Darklone.

    Eadric et. al. (The Paladin and his Friends).

    There was a misplaced footnote on that fight. The footnote said the crit was on the sword (which is impossible) but Sep later said it was actually on Ainhorr. Holy Sword + Smite + Crit. Something like that. Ainhorr hurt. A lot.

    Is Lich Worth It?

    It can also double as a ranged weapon. If you squeeze right the breathe weapon works. Plus you can trade them out of your epic bag of holding. You know, in case the bad guy's immune to fire or something.
