The Yawning Portal is the name of the Waterdhavian tavern that sits atop the most famous (but not the only) entrance to Undermountain. Undermountain is probably the most famous dungeon in the Forgotten Realms and served as the basis for many/most of the early adventures in FR. I sourced this...

Same here. Not much interested in Pathfinder anymore, but my Victorian/gothic/horror 5e game would much enjoy getting more Lovecraftian goodness involved.

I'm moving to London shortly and I am interested in playing or DM'ing a 4e DnD game. I've checked out Gamers Seeking Gamers and it didn't show much 4e action at all in London. Anybody have ideas for where to find some games?

E-tools needs to be installed outside of Program Files to work correctly. Since I did that, I had no trouble installing data sets. Good luck.

I just sent in my money as a 4e Patron. The fey "Wrath of the River King" was excellent, and who doesn't love dwarves and mines....

I would take out a kobold or two per encounter. Try to have a similar number of creatures to the number of PCs. The dragon is a killer, even with full 5 players. You may want to consider switching out the dragon for something else appropriate...like a dragonborn fighter or something. Have...

Downloaded and checked out the sheet. Are the power cards supposed to be filled out automatically? Same question for the magic item cards? The initiative cards seem to update nicely. Also, should the damage dice be updating automatically?

CC3 has been out for awhile, is prettier in that it has improved graphics (and will import png files like Dundjinni) and is marginally easier to use that its predecessors...only marginally. Dundjinni is out with a new version (1.07) which has proven stable on Vista and XP and with all recent...

If, very hypothetically, one were messing around with such a program, one might mention that the program is very stable for a beta, but the user interface is a bit obtuse. One might easily chalk that up to it being beta, of course. By obtuse I mean that, for example, flavor text for a power or...

Will it be downloadable on 21 June, too?

Feedback after NoVA Gameday I'm one of the folks who played "Into the Shadowhaunt" in the morning and DM'd in the afternoon at the Chantilly store. I'd like to thank D'Karr for pulling everything together at both the Chantilly and Woodbridge locations. You did a great job getting everything...

I probably can't play on a weekly basis, but I'd like to try it out too. I'm in Centreville, just down the road...

I like it alot. I used it for a Halloween running of Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, and my impression was that things went very smoothly. I liked how well the story came together, with the references to the encounter sections separated. I used a Visio flow chart to link together the parts of...

I've just started the second book in the Alera Codex series by Jim Butcher. He writes the Dresden File books, which are really fun too. The first book is called The Furies of Calderon, and the second is called 'Academ's Fury'. I've really enjoyed both so far. Excellent world-building, good...

I've run events in past years, but RL intrudes this year, so I can't.

I have 80 WoTC gaming titles, which I believe is most of them less the ones released in September 2006. This number includes the Vampire's Blade Eberron adventure pamphlets and Red Hand of Doom, but not the 3.0 adenture series. I make it a habit to buy the Wizard's materials. I very...

From Rules of the Game (WoTC DnD website, 'All about Sneak Attacks', 3/2/2004): "To flank an opponent, two allies must be on opposite sides of that opponent, and they both must threaten the opponent (Chapter 8 in the Player's Handbook has some handy diagrams that explain flanking). You threaten...

I've bought quite a few...several Forbidden Arcana and other products from Phillip J. Reed, Arms and Armor v3.5, Monte's Arcana Unearthed, lots of Necromancer Games products (both this year and last), a couple of MEG products, Treasure Quests: Ra from FFE. I like Necromancer Games products the...

I've used many programs and have purchased CC-Pro (and addons) and Dundjinni. I've also used Autorealm and played with Gridsmith's demo. For most of my mapping needs, Dundjinni is all I need. I've seen people do some beautiful work at the campaign scale, but I think it is still a stretch for...

Map Making Programs -- Dundjinni Campaign Cartographer Pro is both exceptionally powerful and exceptionally complex. The newest versions, particularly the Castle pack, make it a much more approachable program, though it remains one that only rewards a great deal of effort. CC-Pro (newest...
